The barrier fluctuated violently, its surface marred by countless ripples and craters, and the specter of the vengeful spirit dissipated in wails!
But the barrier stubbornly withstood this barrage of furious light-rain cleansing! It did not shatter!
"Ignorant brat!" the skull staff sneered with disdain.
"Arcane Shift!"
Just as the smoke from the exploding light sphere had yet to clear!
Ezreal's figure blurred abruptly!
Only a faint golden afterimage remained in his original spot!
In the next thousandth of a second!
Less than three meters from Brain's side, the air rippled like water!
Countless golden light particles converged and reassembled out of thin air! Ezreal's figure solidified instantly!
He clenched his right hand into a fist, the blue gemstone on the back of his hand glowing as intensely as the blazing sun!
His entire right arm seemed to have transformed into a pure blade of light!
"Amaterasu: Destruction Beam!"
Boom—!!!
Without any wind-up!
Three magic arrays, each over a meter in diameter and composed of countless spinning white runes, instantly stacked and unfolded in front of Ezreal's fist!
Immediately following, a pure white beam of light, as thick as a bowl, condensed to the extreme, exuding destructive high temperatures and a purifying will, like a spear of judgment tearing through the void, with an ear-piercing shriek, blasted Brain's temple at point-blank range!
This strike was fast! Ruthless! Precise!
He wanted to interrupt Brain's spellcasting, and even more, to destroy the last shackles that maintained the terrifying seal!
"Presumptuous!" Brain finally moved!
His deep, abyss-like crimson eyes, which had been tightly shut, suddenly snapped open!
Two tangible, bloodthirsty gazes, carrying a cold will of destruction, pierced Ezreal like sharp swords!
At the same time, his right hand, which was maintaining the magic array, casually waved in Ezreal's direction, as if shooing away a fly!
"Evernight: Dark Sky Curtain!"
Buzz—!!!
Centered on Brain's outstretched palm, a profound darkness, deep enough to seemingly swallow all light, instantly expanded!
This darkness was not empty space, but rather composed of countless rapidly spinning, space-cutting dark magic blades!
It writhed and expanded like a living thing, instantly engulfing Ezreal along with the Destruction Beam he had unleashed!
Hiss—!!!
An ear-piercing sound of energy annihilation echoed in the darkness!
Ezreal's Destruction Beam, powerful enough to penetrate mountains, shot into this writhing Dark Sky Curtain, like a mud ox entering the sea, only stirring up a faint ripple before completely vanishing without a trace!
Not even a glimmer of light managed to escape!
Even more terrifying, this Dark Sky Curtain possessed a powerful suction and corrosive force!
Ezreal felt as if he had fallen into a sticky asphalt swamp, his body being frantically torn and dragged by an invisible force!
His protective light magic was rapidly eroded and consumed!
"This guy..." An alarm blared in Ezreal's mind!
He didn't hesitate, activating Arcane Shift again!
Buzz!
The golden light particles instantly dispersed!
His figure narrowly escaped the edge of the Dark Sky Curtain, reappearing ten meters away!
However, before he could even steady himself, Brain's cold, emotionless voice rang out like a death knell: "Evernight: Requiem of Sorrows!"
His left hand, which was maintaining the magic power transfer to the crystal ball, remained motionless, while his free right hand spread its five fingers and, with a gentle flick, aimed at the now sluggish Ezreal!
Buzz—!
It wasn't an ear-piercing shriek, but a low, oppressive, dark sound wave that seemed to penetrate the soul, instantly spreading out!
The air became like a viscous swamp, carrying strong slowing and mental erosion effects, enveloping Ezreal!
"Amaterasu: Light Array!" Ezreal reacted swiftly!
He thrust his left hand forward!
A massive light shield, composed of countless rapidly spinning white runes, instantly unfolded before him!
Sacred light flowed across the shield's surface, forcibly isolating the invisible sound waves and mental shock, emitting a sizzling, dissolving sound!
"Is that old Makarov's magic?!" Brain's eyes filled with a dense black light, staining his originally crimson eyes, and he clenched his right hand into a fist!
"Evernight: Shadow Bind!" The shadow beneath Ezreal's feet instantly came alive!
Like viscous black asphalt, it transformed into several giant, pitch-black hands, carrying bone-chilling cold and powerful restraining force, and lunged to grab his legs!
"Arcane Shift!" Ezreal's figure blurred abruptly! Only an afterimage, shattered by the dark hands, remained in his original spot!
The next instant!
Above Brain's head!
The air distorted!
Golden light particles converged!
Ezreal instantly reassembled!
His right fist was clenched, the sapphire on the back of his hand glowing as brightly as a small sun!
"Amaterasu: Meteor Shower!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—!!!
No longer scattered light spheres, but dozens of intensely white beams of light, condensed and substantial, linked end to end, like white Comets!
The beams were not straight, but followed precise tracking arcs, like spiritual snakes, tearing through the air from different angles, with ear-piercing shrieks, directly blasting Brain's vital points all around him!
The end of each beam contained terrifying explosive energy!
"A little interesting!" A hint of surprise flashed in Brain's eyes, but his movements were no less swift!
His left hand, maintaining the magic array, remained motionless, while his free right hand bloomed like a lotus!
"Evernight: Black Lotus Barrier!"
Buzz!
A giant black lotus, composed of pure dark magic, with layers of petals and glowing green runes flowing along its edges, instantly bloomed and closed above his head!
It tightly shielded his entire body along with the area in front of the crystal ball!
Boom boom boom boom boom—!!!
The white Comet beams slammed fiercely into the Black Lotus Barrier!
A deafening roar erupted!
Blazing white light and profound darkness violently clashed and annihilated each other!
Energy shockwaves spread out like ripples, making the entire control room hum!
The Black Lotus Barrier trembled violently, its petals blasted and shattered, but its core remained stable!
Most of the impact force from the explosion was diverted outwards, not affecting Brain's magic power transfer to the crystal ball!
"It's not over yet!" Ezreal, undeterred by his failed attack, blurred again!
"Arcane Shift!"
This time, he appeared directly in front of Brain! Almost parallel to the crystal ball!
"Amaterasu: Destruction Beam!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three giant magic arrays, each over a meter in diameter and composed of countless spinning white runes, instantly stacked and unfolded!
Layer upon layer!
At the center of the magic arrays, a pure white beam of light, exuding destructive high temperatures and a purifying will, like a spear of judgment, with a shriek that tore through space, brazenly blasted towards Brain's face!
The target was directly the pulsating black rune!
Where the light beam passed, the air ionized, crackling loudly!
"Arrogant!" Brain finally showed emotion!
The power of this strike far exceeded the previous one!
He had no choice but to divert more of his attention!
His free right hand clenched into a fist and retracted abruptly, then shot forward like a heavy hammer!
"Evernight: Dark Erosion Impact!"
A giant, pitch-black fist print, composed of rapidly spinning dark magic with serrated energy blades along its edges, instantly formed!
At the center of the fist print, a black hole seemed to collapse, emitting a terrifying suction force that threatened to devour everything!
It slammed fiercely into the destructive light beam!
