Thump! Thump! Thump!
Both were simultaneously forced back!
Brain's hands, maintaining the magic, trembled violently!
The crystal ball's light flickered intensely!
Ezreal's blood and qi surged!
Brain steadied himself, his pure black eyes fixed on Ezreal, who was slightly panting on a distant stone pillar. The last remaining black rune on his face pulsed even more violently, as if it could break at any moment!
"Damn brat..." Brain's voice carried a hint of fury, like someone repeatedly harassed by an ant, and also a trace of... unbelievable gravity.
He had thought he could easily crush his opponent while simultaneously maintaining the activation of Nirvana. But Ezreal's displayed strength, tactical prowess, and grasp of timing far exceeded his expectations! His precise sniping, tricky displacements, and tenacious defense... every attack aimed directly at a vital point, every dodge was executed with perfect timing!
This was a formidable enemy, capable of threatening him and even disrupting his plans!
The crystal ball's light, due to the previous impact, fluctuated violently again, on the verge of extinguishing. Brain could feel that, while multitasking, he not only couldn't quickly deal with Ezreal but also struggled to maintain the core of Nirvana, which was becoming precarious!
"I can't let this continue..." A ruthless determination flashed in Brain's eyes! He gritted his teeth sharply!
Buzz—!!!
The vast torrent of dark magic that had been continuously injected into the crystal ball... suddenly ceased!
Brain withdrew both hands simultaneously!
The huge black-green magic array in front of him instantly dispersed!
He no longer maintained the magic power supply to the crystal ball!
He concentrated all his attention and all his magic power... on the battle before him!
"Kid..." Brain slowly turned, facing Ezreal directly, his pure black eyes burning with an unprecedented cold killing intent. The last remaining black rune pulsed violently due to the frantic circulation of his magic power, as if it wanted to break free from his skin! "You've successfully enraged me! And... you've earned my full 'respect'!"
Boom—!!!
A surge of dark magic, even more terrifying, more condensed than before, as if connected to an endless abyss, erupted from Brain's body without reservation, like an awakened ancient fierce beast!
The light in the entire control room was instantly swallowed!
Only the viscous darkness, swirling around him like a living creature, remained!
The air groaned under the unbearable pressure!
The runes on the ground cracked inch by inch!
"Now... let us... have some fun!" Brain's voice was like a chilling wind from the netherworld, carrying an absolute declaration of death!
Brain moved!
No longer casting spells from a fixed position!
His figure blurred like a ghost!
Instantly crossing a distance of tens of meters!
His free right hand formed a claw, carrying a dark sharp blade that tore through space, aiming directly for Ezreal's face!
The speed was far greater than before!
"So fast!" Ezreal's pupils constricted!
After Brain gave up maintaining Nirvana, his speed and strength surged!
"Arcane Shift!" Light particles dispersed!
Ezreal narrowly dodged the claw attack! Appearing on the other side!
"Evernight • Shadow Bind Cage!" Brain clenched his left hand in the air!
The shadow beneath Ezreal's feet instantly came alive!
Wrapping around him like black asphalt!
At the same time, several shadowy chains ripped through the air!
"Sanctuary!" Ezreal shouted!
A wave of purifying light erupted!
Dispelling the shadow bind!
But the chains had already arrived!
"Light Array!" A small light shield instantly formed!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The chains struck the light shield!
A massive force came through!
Ezreal grunted, sent flying backward!
"Die! Evernight • Capriccio • Barrage!" Killing intent flashed in Brain's eyes!
His ten fingers rapidly flickered!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Ten pitch-black rays, condensed as if solid, silent yet as fast as lightning, like deadly poisonous needles, sealed off all of Ezreal's escape routes!
Aiming directly at his vital points!
Ezreal was in mid-air, his old strength spent, new strength not yet born!
He was about to be pierced by this deadly rain of rays!
Just at this critical moment!
An unexpected change occurred!
Beneath Ezreal, the elongated shadow cast by the faint light in the control room... suddenly boiled!
From deep within the shadow, two points of blood-red light suddenly flared!
As if the gates of hell had opened!
A terrifying aura, cold, tyrannical, and filled with an endless desire to devour, instantly spread!
Immediately after!
"Roar—!!!"
A low, hoarse wolf howl, yet filled with primeval ferocity, exploded in the control room like muffled thunder!
Ezreal's shadow violently churned and expanded like boiling ink!
An enormous, hideous, pitch-black wolf head suddenly emerged from the shadow!
Its maw wide open, revealing bone-white fangs like daggers!
Its blood-red wolf eyes burned with a tyrannical, fierce flame that sought to destroy everything!
It happened in a flash!
Just as the ten deadly black lines were about to pierce Ezreal's body!
The enormous black wolf head suddenly lunged forward!
Its gaping maw opened to an impossible angle!
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
...A series of eerie sounds, like crushing brittle bones, rang out one after another!
The ten pitch-black rays, capable of piercing tempered steel and annihilating magic, were actually... completely swallowed... by this suddenly appearing black wolf head!
No explosion!
No annihilation!
Only a chilling "gurgle" sound, like swallowing viscous liquid, came from deep within the wolf's throat!
As if the terrifying dark magic was merely an appetizer for it!
"What?!" Brain's sneer instantly froze! For the first time, an unbelievable shock appeared in his pure black eyes!
His attack... was... eaten?!
Ezreal's body hit the ground hard, but he seemed to have anticipated it, rolling to dissipate the force and quickly standing up.
He brushed off the dust, his movements calm and unhurried.
He didn't look at Brain, but instead turned his gaze to the dense black smoke beside him, which was still violently churning and expanding.
The black smoke rose and condensed as if alive!
A massive, ferocious outline rapidly formed within it!
Whoosh—!!!
The black smoke suddenly dispersed to both sides!
A colossal creature strikingly appeared beside Ezreal!
This was a pitch-black giant wolf, nearly fifteen meters long!
Its entire body was covered in glossy fur, like the deepest night, its muscles bulging, filled with explosive power!
Most striking were the pair of pitch-black wings on its back, composed of pure dark energy, with a wingspan of over twenty meters when spread!
Dark red energy patterns flowed along the edges of the wings, emanating an ominous aura!
And its eyes were the same blood-red ones that had lit up in the shadow—filled with endless tyranny, ferocity, and... a craving for destruction!
An S-Rank Magic Beast—the Evil Wolf!
The Evil Wolf lowered its massive head, its blood-red wolf eyes locked onto Brain in the distance, emitting a threatening growl from deep within its throat. Viscous drool dripped from its sharp fangs, corroding the rocky ground with a "sizzling" white smoke.
Brain's face was so dark it could drip water!
He stared intently at the terrifying dark beast, then looked at Ezreal, who remained calm.
"A Summoned Beast? An S-Rank Magic Beast?" The skull staff let out a shriek of uncertain surprise.
