Inside a small tavern in Bayar City.
Ezreal smiled, his left hand pointing forward, a brilliant white light at his fingertip. The next moment, the white light expanded, and in the blink of an eye, a pure white spatial vortex, as tall as a man, appeared.
Ezreal unhesitatingly pushed Arad into it.
"No—!" Kageyama's eyes were bloodshot, and he reached out to stop him, but it was too late.
"Damn it!" He gritted his teeth, his face terrifyingly grim. "Punishment Knight Ezreal… and Swordswoman Ikaruga!"
The Mages of Eisenwald immediately stirred, clearly having heard of these two names.
"An S-Class Mage from Fairy Tail… how are they here?!"
"This is bad, we're no match for them!"
Kageyama's expression flickered, and finally, he bit his lip hard: "Retreat!"
What Ezreal had just used was clearly Spatial Magic to throw Arad into a summoning space, and even if Kageyama and his group combined their strength, they would be no match for these two.
The Eisenwald members immediately turned to flee, however—
"Buzz—!"
The skull flute in Kageyama's arms suddenly trembled violently, broke free from his grasp, and floated in mid-air, a eerie green light erupting!
"What?!" Kageyama looked up in horror.
Ezreal was about to give chase, but he abruptly stopped, his pupils contracting. He instinctively sensed danger and grabbed Ikaruga's wrist: "Fall back!"
The two instantly retreated dozens of meters, creating distance.
As the two retreated, Evil Wolf advanced instead of retreating.
Hundreds of wolf heads simultaneously let out deafening roars, pouncing towards the skull flute like a black torrent.
But it was too late—
"Buzz—!"
The skull flute erupted with dazzling eerie green light. The pouncing wolf heads let out painful whimpers the moment they touched the green light, and the black smoke was violently torn apart and dissipated.
"Ah ah ah ah—!"
A shrill scream suddenly rang out!
The eerie green light enveloped everyone from Eisenwald. Their bodies twitched violently, their hands clamped tightly over their mouths and ears, as if enduring some unspeakable pain.
"No… don't…!" Kageyama struggled to reach out, wanting to grasp something, but the next second—
"Pfft!"
An eerie green soul was forcibly extracted from his seven orifices, followed by a second, a third… The souls of everyone from Eisenwald were violently ripped from their bodies, transforming into streaks of green light, and devoured madly by the skull flute!
"Bang!"
The last Eisenwald member fell, their body shriveled like a withered tree.
And the skull flute, floating in mid-air, began to twist and expand!
"Crack crack crack—!"
The skull patterns on the flute's surface writhed, and the flute body continuously stretched and deformed, until finally—
"Boom—!"
A huge black shadow rose from the ground!
A demon nearly twenty meters tall stood atop the tavern ruins. Its body was like a twisted dead tree, covered in pitch-black bark, and three black-purple eyes opened on its trunk, emitting a soul-stirring evil light.
"Roar—!"
Lullaby looked up and let out a deafening roar. The sound wave swept out, and the tavern walls instantly collapsed!
Beside Ezreal, the remaining wolf heads all returned to him, forming a black barrier.
"This guy used the souls of these Eisenwald people to break the seal…" Ezreal's eyes were grave. "Ikaruga, beware of its song!"
Ikaruga nodded slightly, her right hand already on the hilt of her sword, her gaze sharp as a blade.
"Take the initiative!" Ezreal suddenly raised his hand, a brilliant white light condensing in his palm. "Amaterasu: Meteor!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"
Dozens of pure white light bullets shot out like meteors, tearing through the night sky, heading straight for Lullaby's head!
Lullaby's three eyes rotated simultaneously, and its tree-trunk-like giant arm lifted, blocking its face.
"Boom boom boom—!"
The light bullets exploded one after another, blinding white light bursting on its arm. The bark was scorched black and shattered, but the next second, black-green mist surged from the wound, rapidly healing it!
"Tsk, its regeneration ability is that strong?" Ezreal frowned.
"Let me!" Ikaruga shouted coldly, her figure vanishing instantly!
"Mugetsu Style: Ghost Slash!"
"Swish—!"
A pure white sword qi slashed out horizontally, moving so fast that it was almost invisible to the naked eye!
"Pfft!"
Lullaby's right arm was severed with a sound, and the huge tree-trunk arm crashed to the ground, making a dull thud.
However, Lullaby smiled eerily.
"Foolish…" Its low voice was like the friction of decaying violin strings. "Listen to my Song of the Dead!"
"Buzz—!"
Its tree-trunk body suddenly trembled, and its three eyes simultaneously lit up with an eerie purple light!
"Not good!" Ezreal's expression changed drastically. "Ikaruga, retreat!"
But it was too late—
"La la la… Ah ah ah…"
An eerie song emanated from Lullaby's body. The sound waves materialized into black ripples, instantly spreading across the entire battlefield!
"Ugh—!" Ikaruga's body stiffened, her brain felt like it had been hit hard, and her vision instantly blurred!
"Mental attack?!" She gritted her teeth, enduring the dizziness, but her movements were already half a beat slow.
Black mist surged from Lullaby's severed arm, and a new arm regenerated instantly. Immediately after, it slammed its claw down!
"Bang—!"
Ikaruga barely managed to block with her sword, but she was still sent flying by the immense force, crashing through several walls before finally stopping!
"Ikaruga!" Ezreal's expression was grave. He slammed his left hand onto the ground. "Evil Wolf!"
"Awooo—!"
A furious wolf howl echoed through the night sky. The surrounding protective black smoke suddenly surged upwards, and the ground cracked inch by inch as a pitch-black giant wolf, nearly fifteen meters tall, burst out of the earth!
Evil Wolf was wreathed in black smoke, its blood-red eyes fixed on Lullaby, and corrosive saliva dripped from its fangs.
"Tear it apart!" Ezreal ordered.
Evil Wolf instantly pounced, swift as lightning, and bit into Lullaby's tree-trunk body!
"Pfft!"
Sharp fangs sank deep into the trunk. Black smoke and black-green mist furiously intertwined, and a sizzling sound of corrosion filled the air!
Lullaby let out a painful shriek, and its three eyes on the tree trunk simultaneously locked onto the black wolf king. The sound waves condensed again!
"Die—Curse Song: Soul Requiem!"
"Buzz—!"
The terrifying sound waves directly blasted into Evil Wolf's body. Its body trembled violently, and the black smoke was violently dispersed!
"Ow—!" Evil Wolf howled, and its form began to dissipate.
"Tsk!" Ezreal gritted his teeth, clapped his hands together, then quickly spread them apart. "Super·Destruction Death Ray!"
"Boom boom boom—!"
Nine pure white magic circles stacked layered in front of him, finally converging into a terrifying beam of light with a diameter of over ten meters!
"Boom—!"
The beam of light pierced through the night sky, striking Lullaby's chest!
"Ah ah ah—!" Lullaby let out a shrill scream, its tree-trunk body blasted through with a large hole by the beam of light!
However, it did not fall, but instead grinned sinisterly.
