However, Ezreal's performance… had just begun!
He raised his left hand and snapped his fingers softly at the ground beneath his feet.
Snap!
The sound was crisp and exceptionally clear in the silent control room.
Immediately after, under Brain's astonished gaze, a tiny emerald green sprout, without any warning, broke through the hard basalt floor at Ezreal's feet!
The sprout grew wildly at a visible speed!
Branches shot out!
Leaves unfurled!
It expanded!
In just a single breath!
A giant Treant, ten meters tall, already stood beside Ezreal!
This Treant was not an ordinary tree; its entire body was constructed from gnarled, thick, emerald green branches that gleamed with a metallic luster, and its physique was as sturdy as a mountain!
Its body was covered with a layer of light armor woven from tough leaves, exuding a rich aura of nature and life!
Most striking was its head—a pair of intricate branches, like giant antlers, grew from its crown, and in the center of the antlers, a crimson flame burned quietly, forming a majestic Crown of Fire!
The flame was not scorching or violent, but carried a restrained power, as if it could burn the very essence of the soul!
S-Rank Magic Beast—Fire Crown Treant! Entering the fray!
The Treant's face, formed from ancient wood grain, was solemn and hard, and its head, crowned with burning fire, turned slightly. Its two fiery red eyes locked onto Brain without any emotion.
But that wasn't all!
Ezreal didn't even turn his head.
The rock wall behind him suddenly emitted a "crack, crack" sound of shattering!
The hard rock seemed to be forced open from within by an invisible, immense force! Debris rattled down!
A giant, eight meters tall, composed entirely of grayish-white, hard rock, suddenly broke free from the rock wall!
Its physique was massive, like a moving small mountain, and every step it took caused the ground to tremble slightly!
The most peculiar thing was its head—it had no facial features!
There was only a constantly spinning, glowing blue energy vortex, like a single eye, coldly "watching" forward!
A+ Rank Magic Beast—Blue Buff! Appearing!
The Blue Buff silently walked behind Ezreal, like the most loyal guard.
The blue energy vortex on its head slowly rotated, and a gentle yet resilient blue energy aura spread out from it, enveloping Ezreal, Evil Wolf, and Fire Crown Treant!
The moment he was covered by the aura, Ezreal felt his depleted magic slowly recovering, and the fatigue in his body also lessened slightly!
The ferocity in Evil Wolf's crimson eyes intensified, and the leafy armor on Fire Crown Treant's body also seemed to shine brighter!
Three Summoned Beasts, each with a distinct form yet all exuding a powerful aura, guarded Ezreal in the center, like knights protecting their king!
Evil Wolf growled, its fangs bared.
The Treant was solemn, its Crown of Fire flickering.
The Blue Buff was silent, its energy eye rotating.
Brain looked at the three powerful Magic Beasts that had suddenly appeared, then at Ezreal, who stood calmly in their midst, his golden pupils now holding a hint of composure, as if he controlled the entire situation. His wrinkled face, for the first time… completely darkened!
An unprecedented pressure, like a tangible weight, pressed down on his heart!
"Summoning Magic… S-Rank Magic Beast… and an auxiliary Magic Beast…" Brain's voice carried a hint of imperceptible dryness as he stared intently at Ezreal, "I… underestimated you."
Ezreal lightly brushed off non-existent dust from his sleeve, a faint but absolutely confident smile playing on his lips.
"I forgot to introduce myself," his voice was clear and steady, echoing in the silent control room, "Ezreal, proficient in Summoning Magic and Light Magic, newly promoted S-Class Mage of the Fairy Tail Guild."
The moment his words fell!
"Everyone…" Ezreal took a deep breath.
"Let's go!"
Ezreal's calm yet undeniable command was like a war horn igniting the battle!
"Roar—!!!" Evil Wolf was the first to attack!
Its dark wings on its back flapped violently!
Its massive body transformed into a black lightning bolt that tore through space!
Its speed was so fast that it left streaks of afterimages!
It lunged straight at Brain!
At the same time, its crimson wolf eyes suddenly burst forth with an eerie red glow!
An invisible mental shockwave instantly shot towards Brain! Demon Eye activated!
"Buzz!" Fire Crown Treant's massive body leaned slightly forward, and its leaf-armored giant arm plunged into the ground!
Rumble!
Countless thick roots, burning with crimson flames like giant pythons, burst forth from the ground!
With the scorching heat that burned souls and the tenacity that entangled all things, they coiled around Brain from all directions!
At the same time, an invisible life-draining fluctuation spread out, attempting to weaken Brain's vitality!
The Blue Buff silently raised its rocky giant arm!
Buzz!
A thick, blue-runed rock shield instantly unfolded in front of Ezreal and his Summoned Beasts!
Simultaneously, the energy vortex on its head accelerated its rotation, and a more concentrated blue energy aura spread out, continuously restoring everyone's magic and enhancing their defense!
Facing this sudden, overwhelming, all-directional attack, Brain's expression changed drastically!
"Darkness · Soul Bulwark!" he roared!
A shield composed of pure mental power and dark magic instantly enveloped his entire body!
Attempting to resist Evil Wolf's Demon Eye!
Buzz—!
The invisible mental impact violently crashed against the Soul Bulwark!
The shield fluctuated intensely!
Brain grunted, feeling as if his Brain had been hit by a heavy hammer!
A wave of dizziness washed over him!
Although he blocked most of the impact, his mind was still shaken!
At the same time!
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—!!!
The roots burning with crimson flames, like whips from hell, fiercely lashed at Brain's hastily deployed dark shield!
Flames and darkness fiercely clashed!
Emitting a piercing, dissolving sound!
Brain's face twitched, a strong burning sensation came from the depths of his soul, and a fiery pain spread throughout his body, "An additional magic that burns vitality?"
The shield on his body flickered violently!
At the same time, the life-draining power, like maggots on a corpse, made him feel his vitality slowly draining away!
"Get lost!" Brain roared in rage! His free hands suddenly spread outwards! "Darkness · Black Corrosion Burst!"
Boom—!!!
A violent dark shockwave exploded outwards from him!
Forcibly shattering and pushing away the coiling flame roots!
Flames splattered everywhere!
But Evil Wolf's claws had already arrived!
With dark blades that tore through space, they fiercely clawed at Brain's head!
"Darkness · Bone Grip!" Brain's right hand suddenly clenched! A giant bone claw made of pale bones appeared out of thin air, fiercely grabbing at Evil Wolf!
Bang—!!!
The bone claw and the wolf claw fiercely collided!
Emitting a loud clang like metal striking metal!
Bones shattered and flew!
Evil Wolf was also knocked back a step by the immense force!
But the injured part of its body was instantly covered and repaired by surging, smoky dark energy!
Its self-healing ability was astonishing!
"Darkness · Wail Storm!" Brain clasped his hands together!
A violent dark sound wave mixed with the screams of countless vengeful spirits, like a storm, swept towards the three Summoned Beasts and Ezreal!
"Blue Buff!" Ezreal was not flustered!
The Blue Buff's head energy vortex rotated rapidly!
The Steadfast Bulwark glowed brightly!
The thick rock shield became even more solid!
At the same time, a stronger magic power feedback flowed into everyone's bodies!
Evil Wolf let out a low growl, dark magic surging on its body, enduring the sound wave!
Fire Crown Treant's leafy armor glowed green, its life aura surging, weakening the erosion of the sound wave!
Ezreal, protected by the shield and aura, was unharmed!
"Nature's Wrath!" Fire Crown Treant suddenly raised its arms!
Countless thorny vines, burning with crimson flames like wild whips, shot out from its body!
They lashed at Brain, covering the sky and earth!
Each strike carried the terrifying effect of burning vitality!
"Shadow Clone! Shadow Devour!" A fierce glint flashed in Evil Wolf's crimson eyes!
Its body swayed suddenly!
Instantly, it split into three solid black wolf shadows!
Together with its main body, four giant wolves lunged at Brain from different directions!
At the same time, its massive mouth opened!
A spinning dark vortex formed in its mouth! Emitting a terrifying suction force!
Shadow Devour!
Attempting to devour Brain's magic power and even draw out his soul!
When it came to dark magic, Evil Wolf, having absorbed a large number of dark mages and evolved from the Undead Demon Deliora, also had deep attainments!
"Earthquake Stomp!" The Blue Buff's rocky giant foot stomped violently on the ground!
Rumble!
The entire control room floor vibrated violently!
Countless sharp stone spikes burst forth from the ground!
Stabbing towards Brain's lower body!
At the same time, a powerful shockwave interfered with his balance and spellcasting!
