Countless rotting skeletons reached out from the ink-like darkness, clinging to his body in a chilling manner, their skulls gnawing at his scales, producing a grating sound.
He saw the shattered bodies of Hydra, Jack, Douglas, and others emerge from the darkness. Their twisted forms walked or crawled, their eyes filled with malice, ceaselessly uttering curses.
The piercing wails of the dead in his ears were like materialized blades, exploding madly within his skull, the sound seemingly capable of shattering his soul and dragging him into madness.
The moment Chris fell into the illusion, the Fire Crown Treant's palms glowed green, and a verdant seed condensed into shape in his hands.
"Paralytic Poison Gas!"
The Fire Crown Treant pressed his palms together, crushing the seed. Above Chris's head, a huge emerald green magic array suddenly opened, a green flower growing out of thin air. Its petals unfurled, and a dense green mist descended, enveloping Chris's entire body.
Chris, whose face had been contorted in a ferocious expression while in the illusion, quickly softened after being enveloped by the green mist. His tensed muscles relaxed, and his expression soon became peaceful.
The Blue Buff aimed its hands at Chris, and a bright blue light burst from its single eye. A blue light beam shot out, with circles of gray energy coiling around it, accurately hitting Chris's chest.
The light beam did not send Chris flying; instead, a dense gray light spread over the Dragon-man's body. Wherever it touched, scales turned to stone. In the blink of an eye, Chris's body was completely transformed into a stone sculpture.
All three control-type spells had served their purpose, and Ezreal in the sky had finally completed his incantation.
The originally azure energy bow was now completely dyed gold by the intense light element energy.
Ezreal raised his left hand, the golden energy bow drawn to its limit.
"Golden Skyline!" Ezreal roared.
A golden crescent-shaped energy detached from the energy bow, like a sword qi strike tearing through heaven and earth.
The intense golden light illuminated the world, and the crescent-shaped strike landed on Chris's neck, easily passing through his body.
The strike pierced through Chris, cutting deep into the ground, leaving a deep, dark crack in the earth.
Under the severe pain, Chris finally broke free from the illusion. He stared blankly at his gradually petrifying and numb limbs, instinctively wanting to raise his hand to touch his clearly aching neck.
But the next second, a dark red bloodline appeared on his neck, and the dragon scales neatly cracked.
"This is impossible, my indestructible body..."
Blood overflowed from the corners of Chris's mouth. He looked at Ezreal, who was bathed in golden light in the sky, in disbelief, as his head slowly slid from his neck to the ground.
His headless body knelt on the ground, the cut on his neck smooth and clean. After a brief delay due to the absence of his head, blood gushed out, and he softly collapsed to the ground.
"No enemy it cannot cut, no cut it cannot make. Haven't you heard of the Milong Legend?"
The blonde-haired Ezreal, who had changed the name of his ultimate ability, Precise Barrage, to one he thought sounded better, seemed very pleased.
Ezreal winked, waved his hand to dismiss the energy bow, and the golden light surrounding him slowly extinguished. He floated lightly down from the sky.
Mid-flight, the Evil Wolf on the ground transformed into a black cloud with a somersault, steadily catching Ezreal's body and carrying him to Chris's corpse.
White light expanded in Ezreal's hand, and both the headless body on the ground and the head with its eyes still open in death were collected by Ezreal into Summoners Rift.
Ezreal snapped his fingers, and the figures of the Fire Crown Treant and the Blue Buff slowly faded until they disappeared.
Just then, clear applause and footsteps sounded behind him.
Ezreal turned around.
"What an astonishingly powerful move!" Erza, clad in silver armor, walked over, applauding and sincerely praising Ezreal.
Behind her, Laxus and Mystogan followed unhurriedly.
Laxus gave Ezreal a look of relief.
Well, at least from Ezreal's perspective, Laxus's expression seemed very relieved...
As for Mystogan, wrapped like a mummy, his deadpan eyes showed no emotion, no hint of joy or anger, he merely nodded slightly at Ezreal.
Ezreal tentatively assumed this guy also greatly admired his strength.
"You guys weren't here the whole time, watching the show, were you?" Ezreal eyed the three with suspicion.
They showed up right after he dealt with the BOSS; it was too coincidental.
"We just arrived," the three each turned their heads away.
Ezreal tentatively believed them, and the four briefly exchanged information.
They learned that the four strongest leaders within Newborn City had been eliminated, and the remaining Orc Soldiers had been released into the outside world, leaving only this empty city.
The four immediately relaxed.
Although the Orc Soldiers were strong, it wouldn't be too difficult for the Mages outside to deal with them.
With all the Magician Guilds in the kingdom and the Magic Council acting together, that small remaining force couldn't cause any waves.
Laxus and the other two briefly explained the locations of the enemy leader's bodies they had killed, instructed Ezreal to retrieve them himself, and then the three left ahead of him.
The spatial teleportation gate was located at the main gate of Newborn City, and the three directly returned to the real world through the gate.
Ezreal, on the other hand, collected the bodies of the remaining three Orc leaders and then explored Newborn City.
At the Lord's Mansion, he found a large pile of documents.
These documents were placed directly on the desk, very conspicuously.
The content was entirely related to bloodline fusion technology, as well as some rare life magic.
Ezreal chose not to take the documents, but instead quickly memorized most of the important files using his photographic memory.
In addition to the documents, Ezreal also found a small amount of monster blood in Newborn City's laboratory.
There were many types, but not a large quantity. It certainly wasn't enough to feed to Summoned Beasts as evolution material, so he threw it all to the Evil Wolf as snacks.
Ezreal looked around, confirmed there was nothing else worth taking, and then returned to the real world through the teleportation gate.
