In the world of Moe King, I became the ruler of ice.

Upon hearing Lord Gransta's words of comfort, Benimaru's body stiffened.

Their eyes even brightened a bit.

Gransta also sensed a slight change in Benimaru and was completely confused. What was going on?

The Dominator's voice rang out.

"Lord Gransta, your subordinate Benimaru has just mastered the skill of [Grand Marshal]."

Gransta looked surprised and couldn't help but glance at Benimaru a few more times.

"That works too..."

Seeing the surprised look in Lord Gransta's eyes, Benimaru felt even more respect for his master.

"I didn't expect the adults to have found out. I have to thank them for their comforting words..."

Gransta was speechless. This world was truly outrageous; skills could be suddenly acquired.

Is it because of Rimuru's overpowered nature that he's always spreading his overpowered abilities around him? Even Benimaru is starting to imitate Rimuru.

The poor guy could only rely on the abilities of the [Plunderer] to steal skills, and then fuse them with the [Mutant] to create powerful skills.

Just as Gransta was stunned, the rest of the pig-headed army arrived.

Suddenly

The two sides faced off with Pighead Emperor at the center, and Gransta observed the number of the opposing forces with great interest.

The current total number of orc-headed soldiers is around 120,000, which is slightly less than the number recorded in the original work. This is likely due to Gransta's influence, which has made Rimuru's original crew stronger than in the original story.

Rimuru also broke free from Shion's demonic claws and looked at the Orc Lord with a serious expression.

The final battle has officially begun.

Gransta decided to observe from the sidelines first, so he appeared on the Ice Guardian, who thoughtfully formed an ice throne on top of him—a special privilege reserved for Gransta.

"Ice Guardian, stop all your taunt skills, Rimuru is about to make his move."

"Yes."

The Pig-Headed Emperor on the opposite side immediately felt the forced pulling force on his body disappear. It wasn't that the Pig-Headed Emperor didn't want to attack, but rather that the Ice Giant's skill had been continuously affecting him.

"Rimuru, it's up to you now."

Rimuru saw that Gransta was already sitting on the Ice Guardian watching the battle, and it was time for him, the leader, to take action.

When the Pig-Headed Emperor saw a stunningly beautiful young woman emerge, he became suspicious. He could tell that this woman was not human but a demon.

"Pig-headed Emperor, your invasion has seriously jeopardized the Great Forest of Jura. I have accepted the commission from the Tree Spirits to punish you."

As expected of Rimuru, he started with a righteous and eloquent speech.

A hint of surprise flashed in the Pig-Headed Emperor's eyes, which then turned into a cold snort.

"Hmph, so what if he's the forest ranger? For the survival of my people, I have to do this..."

"What do you know? This world is ultimately a dog-eat-dog world..."

Rimuru still looks incredibly innocent.

"Then you can't start a war either..."

"Shut up, you little dwarf!"

The Pig-Headed Emperor had no intention of wasting any more words with the little dwarf in front of him, so he launched a probing attack first.

"【Dance of the Dead】"

Rimuru remained calm despite the attack from the Orc Emperor, and raised one hand.

"[Predator] activated."

A large mass of blue liquid formed a vortex, completely engulfing the dark red beam of light.

"Is that all you've got? Once I devour you all, I can strengthen myself and dominate the entire forest."

The Pig-Headed Emperor's mocking voice rang out.

Rimuru was so angry he laughed. This pig-headed lord who had just been promoted to Demon Lord actually wanted to dominate the Great Forest of Jura.

"It seems they really don't know how terrifying that ruthless guy is," Rimuru thought to himself, glancing towards Gransta's location.

"Looks like I'll have to show my true skills, or Gransta will look down on me."

"It's your turn, Great Sage!"

"Understood, enter auto-battle mode!"

As Rimuru finished speaking, his eyes turned red, and he handed over control of his body to the Great Sage.

This is the auto-battle setting that Rimuru has enabled. In fact, Rimuru's combat experience is still that of a novice. Unlike Gransta, who enjoys hunting down evil monsters and has extensive combat experience and skill proficiency, Rimuru is not a novice at all.

Rimuru may not yet be able to master all of his skills.

"Then let me see what the great sage is capable of!"

In this mode, Rimuru can rely on the Great Sage to perfectly utilize all skills and calculate the best countermeasures.

Gransta, sitting on the ice throne, noticed that Rimuru had switched to battle mode, and his gaze became slightly more serious.

The Pig-Headed Emperor charged straight at him; with his current physical strength, hand-to-hand combat was his best fighting method.

"[Strange Power]..."

When Rimuru saw the Orc Emperor charging towards him, he also drew his longsword from his back, a layer of black flames clinging to the blade, like the flames of hell.

In fact, covering the sword with a layer of [barrier] not only enhances the sword's offensive capabilities but also reduces its wear and tear.

Dust billowed up, and Rimuru, who had been crouching, shot out, raising his sword to slash.

"brush"

The Pig-Headed Emperor knew that he had [Fire Resistance], meaning he had a certain degree of resistance to fire.

Unaware of the gravity of the attack, he tried to catch the sword with his arm, seemingly attempting to perform a feat of catching a black blade bare-handed.

The result was predictable.

An arm fell to the ground and burned into nothingness, like a silent slap in the face to the Pig-Headed Emperor. Black flames clung to the cleanly severed arm, rendering it irreparable even by self-regeneration.

The enraged Pig-Headed Emperor ruthlessly gnawed off the arm engulfed in black flames with its mouth, then used its self-regeneration ability to recover from the root.

Rimuru sighed inwardly at the cruelty of the Orc Emperor's actions.

The Orc Emperor began to watch Rimuru warily; from the previous attack, he could tell this enemy was no ordinary foe. If he could devour this person as soon as possible, then all of his power could be used by the Orc Emperor.

"Haha, watch closely!"

The Pig-Headed Emperor began to channel his magic power to the fullest extent, unleashing his skills with all his might.

"【Dance of the Dead】"

This time, the Orc Lord used the [Hungry One] effect on the beam, which had a terrifying corrosive effect, and attacked Rimuru from all directions.

Rimuru frowned slightly.

Blue vortexes appeared in his hands, and he swallowed all the overwhelming beams of light into his stomach.

However, this attack was clearly the Orc Lord's attempt to hold off Rimuru.

"Little guy, you're dead meat."

A huge shadow appeared beside Rimuru, and a giant hand reached out to grab him; there was no way to dodge it now.
