"Now, let me see your strength."
Ezreal raised an eyebrow and said softly.
The Fire Crown Treant straightened up, and green light mixed with crimson flames emanated from its body.
Two Red and Blue Stone Warriors, now made of white magic-sealing stone, raised the weapons in their hands.
"Thorn Strangulation!"
The Fire Crown Treant attacked first. It stomped its foot, and the ground beneath the Red and Blue Warriors churned. Dozens of thick, emerald thorns, like wild pythons, burst from the ground, tightly coiling around them.
The thorns continuously tightened and strangled, their sharp points sparking against the Red-Blue Stone Golem's body, but they failed to leave even the slightest scratch on its white rocky skin.
Immediately after, dozens of vines grew from the Fire Crown Treant's back, with flower buds of various colors at their tips.
"Flower Seed Cannon!"
These flower buds suddenly bloomed, and dozens of laser beams of various colors, like a rainbow, accurately struck the two restrained Red and Blue Warriors.
The immense power directly shattered the thorns wrapped around the Red and Blue Warriors, who were also sent flying by the lasers.
As soon as the lasers dissipated, the flowers on the Fire Crown Treant's body closed back into buds. After a brief charge, they bloomed again.
"Flower Seed Cannon!"
This time, emerald seeds the size of human heads, like a torrential downpour, were launched as bullets.
These seeds were shaped like walnuts, angular and sharp, and they would explode upon contact with a target, releasing a green poisonous mist.
The pouring Flower Seed Cannon furiously struck the Red and Blue Warriors. This time, it finally chipped off a good amount of stone fragments. White stone fragments mixed with the green poisonous mist generated by the Flower Seed Cannon's explosions, splattering everywhere.
A faint red mist still lingered around the Red and Blue Warriors. That was the true damage from the Fire Crown Treant's crown of embers, burning their life force.
The Red and Blue Warriors each raised the giant stone shields in their hands, actually enduring the continuous barrage of the Flower Seed Cannon.
The Red Warrior and the Blue Warrior held their shields high in front of them. The two exchanged glances, and their steps began to move forward steadily. They were actually walking towards the Fire Crown Treant, enduring the Flower Seed Cannon.
As they walked, they even started to run after adapting to the intensity of the attack!
The Fire Crown Treant was not surprised by this.
The War Ancient Tree had lived in the Alfred Family for decades and understood magic-sealing stone very well.
After absorbing the War Ancient Tree's soul, the Fire Crown Treant saw memories related to magic-sealing stone in the War Ancient Tree's memory.
The grayish-white magic-sealing stone circulating outside could completely nullify Rank D or Rank C magical attacks, and had extremely strong resistance to Rank B magic and above.
The white magic-sealing stone was highly purified, its material strength was rare, and it could immunize against most magic. Magical attacks below Rank A were completely ineffective, and even Rank A magic would have difficulty causing much damage.
The reason the Fire Crown Treant's attacks were effective was due to its innate magic—the crown of embers!
This fire magic could be added to each of its attacks, continuously burning the opponent's life force, ignoring any defense.
"Evil Flower!" The Fire Crown Treant clapped its hands.
The ground in front of the Red-Blue Stone Golem, which was charging with its shield, churned. Several giant vines emerged from the ground, their flower buds opening to reveal sharp white teeth.
They looked somewhat like the Chompers from Plants vs. Zombies, except these flower buds were of various colors—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, every color imaginable.
These man-eating flowers opened their large mouths and bit the hands, feet, torsos, and heads of the Red and Blue Stone Warriors.
The Red and Blue Warriors' charge paused, but then they exerted force, forcibly tearing off the man-eating flowers' vines, then pulling off the man-eating flowers on their bodies and throwing them to the ground, continuing to run towards the Fire Crown Treant with their shields raised.
The Fire Crown Treant remained calm. With a wave of its right hand, green light condensed in its hand, and dozens of thorns twisted and merged in its palm, finally forming a thorn spear.
The Fire Crown Treant twirled the spear, then thrust it straight, only for it to be blocked by the foremost Red Warrior's raised shield.
However, the flower bud vines extending from the Fire Crown Treant's back furiously spewed seed projectiles at this moment, instantly repelling the Red Warrior.
The Blue Warrior swung its warhammer in a wide arc to smash down, but was swept across the calf by the Fire Crown Treant's spear, stumbling and falling to the ground. Immediately after, countless thorns emerged from the ground, firmly binding him.
The Red Warrior, who had just been knocked back, now charged again, shield raised and stone axe swinging. The Fire Crown Treant didn't even lift its head, simply raising its hand and throwing the thorn spear.
The Red Warrior immediately ducked and raised its shield to block.
But the spear, just about to hit the shield, disintegrated into several thick thorns that wove into a giant net, tightly binding the Red Warrior.
Both Red and Blue Warriors were now restrained.
Seizing this opportunity, the Fire Crown Treant immediately clapped its hands together, and its body emitted a bright green light, imbued with a vibrant aura of life.
"Giant Tree!"
The Fire Crown Treant let out a low roar, and then its already massive seven-meter tall body instantly surged again, directly reaching fourteen meters in height.
The enlarged Fire Crown Treant slammed its hands down, cracking the earth and raising dust. The Blue Warrior was directly smashed into the ground.
Then, the Fire Crown Treant took two steps to stand before the Red Warrior, and kicked it. The Red Warrior was instantly sent flying dozens of meters like a ball, breaking many trees in the forest.
The Fire Crown Treant clasped its hands together again. Hundreds of emerald green, translucent, walnut-shaped seeds appeared in its palms.
The Fire Crown Treant flung these seeds towards the ground. Bright green light emanated from the seeds, and the seeds that landed on the ground grew rapidly.
In one or two seconds, they transformed from watermelon-sized seeds into small saplings. The branches of these saplings formed arms, and their roots formed legs.
Leaves covered their bodies like scales, their faces gradually became human-like, developing features, and their heads burned with red flames.
Overall, they bore a five-point resemblance to the Fire Crown Treant, but their appearance was less imposing, their physique was somewhat weaker, they were only a little over two meters tall, and their faces looked younger.
From their aura, these Treant Warriors with burning flames on their heads were slightly stronger than the original War Ancient Tree's Treant Warriors, reaching the limit of a Rank D Magical Beast.
And judging by the flames on their heads, which were identical to the Fire Crown Treant's, they also inherited the main body's crown of embers magic. In terms of lethality, they were close to the level of a Rank C Magical Beast.
After summoning the Treant Warriors, the Fire Crown Treant clasped its hands together again, and its body emitted a green light, then slowly returned to its original size as if deflating.
Just at this moment, a slight tremor came from the ground, and twelve Blue Warriors, armed with stone hammers and stone shields, leaped out of the mud.
They were about to charge towards the Fire Crown Treant with their shields and stone hammers, but after just two steps, they were intercepted by a large group of Treant Warriors.
Light shone in the hands of these Treant Warriors. Some condensed thorn spears, some controlled vine whips, and some held flower buds that spewed seed projectiles.
The twelve Blue Warriors had astonishing defensive power. These only Rank D+ Treant Warriors could not cause any damage, and were almost one-hit kills.
However, with each attack from these Treant Warriors, a red mist would light up on the Blue Warriors' bodies.
The crown of embers' characteristic of burning life force, ignoring defense, was taking effect.
