At this moment, Droy also forced his weakened body to throw out a handful of plant seeds again.
"Vine Dance Strangulation!" As his words fell, countless thick, thorny vines burst out from the ground, like monstrous giant pythons, frantically coiling around General Hanlu Turtle's limbs.
Hanlu Turtle's movements were bound by the vines, slowing him down slightly.
Laki seized this rare opportunity, gathering all her strength to raise her spiked club high and smash it down again with all her might.
"Bang!" The spiked club heavily struck General Hanlu Turtle's shoulder, his body swayed slightly, and the black light on him flickered erratically.
"It's working!" Jet shouted excitedly, despite his body being covered in wounds and bloodstains, the fighting spirit in his eyes still burned brightly.
"Supersonic Impact!" Jet endured the pain, his figure transforming into a series of afterimages, his legs kicking out like a whirlwind, each kick accurately landing on General Hanlu Turtle's body.
Hanlu Turtle was enraged by these successive attacks; he roared to the sky, and the black light on his body erupted violently, spreading like a tide.
"Ah!" Droy screamed, sent flying by the powerful force, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Those tough vines were instantly shattered into countless fragments, scattering across the sky.
Jet was also struck by the powerful recoil force again, his body like a kite with a broken string, arcing through the air before slamming hard onto the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Without Levy's support as the team's core, Jet and Droy's strength was almost at the bottom of the guild; facing a formidable enemy like Hanlu Turtle, they couldn't do much.
On the field, only Laki barely stood. This purple-haired, bespectacled girl, who usually worked part-time as a waitress and a supplier of guild tables, chairs, and benches, displayed astonishing perseverance.
Although she was panting heavily, sweat and blood mixed together, flowing down her cheeks, making her look disheveled.
Her magic power was almost depleted, but her eyes remained firm.
"It's not over yet!" Laki's hands trembled as she raised her spiked club again, blood from her tiger's mouth dripping onto the ground along the club. She forced herself to take a deep breath and shouted loudly, "We are Fairy Tail!"
"That's right!" Jet barely stood up, wiped a streak of blood from the corner of his mouth, glanced back at Levy, who was lying on the ground watching them from afar, his eyes resolute.
"We are Fairy Tail!" Droy used his hands and feet to struggle to his feet, his bean sprout hairstyle drooping, but he still glared at Hanlu Turtle and shouted.
"I think you are fools!" Hanlu Turtle raised his Turtle Shell Shield above his head, and black water gathered on the shield, forming a huge black water ball, emitting a chilling aura.
"Go to hell!" Hanlu Turtle looked at the few people indifferently and threw the water ball with force.
The water ball rapidly split into countless sharp water arrows in mid-air, raining down on Laki and the other two.
Laki's face changed drastically; she had little magic power left for defense.
"Is this how it ends?" A wave of despair surged in Laki's heart.
At this critical moment, a green light flashed, and Laki caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye: a huge green maple leaf flew past her shoulder and then stopped about ten feet in front of her.
The maple leaf hovered in the air, suddenly radiating green light, and a green barrier instantly expanded.
The seemingly thin barrier blocked all the incoming water arrows.
As the green light and water arrows dissipated together, and just as the maple leaf was about to fall, a massive green figure appeared in front of Laki, reaching out to grasp the maple leaf.
Hanlu Turtle frowned, clutching his shield tightly, and instinctively took two steps back, vigilantly staring at the huge green figure, his face turning grim. "The troublesome guy is here."
The Fire Crown Treant, with its Gigantification Amplification Magic active, stood with its arms crossed. Its fourteen-meter-tall body, just by standing there, exuded an imposing aura of steadfastness.
"Fire Crown Treant!" A hint of surprise flashed in Laki's eyes.
"It's Ezreal." The Fire Crown Treant waved its hand, a gentle smile appearing on its face. It looked down at Laki, and Ezreal's familiar voice came from the Fire Crown Treant's mouth, "Am I late?"
"No!" Laki dropped the spiked club in her hand, unceremoniously plopping down onto the ground, panting heavily. Then she lay down, looking up at the sky, and shouted loudly, "You're just in time!"
Jack and Droy showed relieved smiles, exchanged glances, and then spoke in unison, "We're saved!"
Due to excessive magic consumption and intense mental strain, now that they relaxed, their bodies went limp and they collapsed to the ground.
"Did you finish your side? How do you have time to split your consciousness and attach it to the Fire Crown Treant?" Laki asked.
"Done." The Fire Crown Treant nodded, an elated expression appearing on its majestic face. "I'm a Summoner, multitasking is basic, no need to be impressed!"
"You guys rest for a bit, Cana and the others are on their way here."
Laki raised her hand, pointed at the Hanlu Turtle opposite, and quickly blurted out the known intelligence, "This guy has very high defense, is good at water magic, and his attack power is mediocre. That black water has a certain corrosive property, similar to some kind of acid, but it doesn't take effect very quickly."
"It affects B-Rank Mages, but it's not a big problem if it's not a prolonged battle. If the injuries aren't severe, B-Rank Mages can withstand the corrosiveness of that black water."
"Without Levy's assistance, none of us can break his defense; we can't deal with this guy."
"Understood!" Ezreal, who was currently controlling the Fire Crown Treant's body, made an OK gesture, then tossed the maple leaf in his palm behind him. "Next, leave it to me."
The maple leaf floated in the air, once again radiating green light.
Laki, Jet, Droy, and even Levy, were all covered by this green light.
The green light contained vibrant life force; under its illumination, the injuries on their bodies recovered at a visible rate.
Levy, who had been lying on the ground clutching her abdomen, felt a tingling sensation in her abdomen. She barely looked down to see white granulation tissue growing from the bloodied hole in her abdomen, twisting and rapidly mending the wound.
Judging by the growth rate of the granulation tissue, the horrifying bloodied hole would be filled in within a few minutes at most.
Her face, which had been pale from significant blood loss, also regained much of its color, and her breathing became steady and strong.
After casting the healing magic, the Fire Crown Treant clapped its hands and looked at Hanlu Turtle, "It's our turn now."
"I just happen to need a material that can use water magic."
"You appeared at just the right time."
The Fire Crown Treant bared its teeth, and the expression on its majestic face became somewhat ferocious as it muttered to itself.
"I'm leaving it to you. I want him alive; can you do it?"
A flash of white light flickered in the Fire Crown Treant's eyes, and the next moment its expression returned to normal, as it replied with a solemn tone, "I will not fail you!"
