"Come on, show me what you've got. Let's see if you have any new changes beyond just your appearance." Ezreal clapped his hands, issuing a mental command to the two Stone Warriors to attack their surroundings freely.
The two Stone Warriors immediately sprang into action, their eyes flashing with red and blue light respectively, and then their massive rocky bodies began to tremble.
Following that, their bodies started to split, and one by one, identical Stone Men with red and blue eyes appeared.
Each of the two Stone Men split into nine identical copies of themselves, with perfectly consistent build, weapons, and appearance—they were exact replicas.
Ten Red-Eyed Stone Warriors, each wielding a shield and a stone axe.
Ten Blue-Eyed Stone Warriors, each wielding a shield and a stone hammer.
The twenty Stone Warriors each picked a direction and ran with astonishing speed. The ground trembled, dust flew, and they swung their stone axes or hammers, beginning to destroy everything in their line of sight.
A towering ancient tree, as thick as a man, was easily severed by a single strike from a Red-Eyed Stone Warrior wielding an axe, crashing to the ground.
The fallen ancient tree kicked up a cloud of dust, and then a Stone Man with a stone hammer ran over.
He swung his massive stone hammer, smashing the fallen ancient tree into two pieces with another strike, then furiously pounded the broken tree, reducing it to a pile of fragments in a few seconds.
The other Stone Men also cooperated tacitly; the axe-wielding Stone Men were responsible for felling trees, and once a tree was down, the hammer-wielding Stone Men smashed it into splinters.
There were also hammer-wielding Stone Men who broke an ancient tree in a single blow, and the fallen tree was then chopped into segments by the axe-wielding Stone Men.
In just over ten seconds, most of the surrounding trees had fallen, clearing an open space the size of a basketball court.
"Stop, stop, stop! That's enough! That's enough!" Ezreal had been watching with great interest until the open space around him grew larger and larger, and more and more wood chips flew through the air. He quickly called for them to stop.
The twenty Stone Warriors received the command and immediately halted their actions. Some, who had just begun to swing their axes or hammers, also stopped abruptly and then slowly retracted their movements.
After stopping, these Stone Men began to tremble, like magnets attracting each other, and started to merge.
Two or three seconds later, only one Red-Eyed Stone Warrior and one Blue-Eyed Stone Warrior remained, walking back to Ezreal with heavy steps.
Ezreal looked at the large cleared area around him, the mess, and the flying wood chips. He shook his head, a little troubled. "It really is 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do.' How did this destructive behavior become contagious? I wonder if I've been infected by those troublemakers!"
Natsu! Gray! Erza! I'm talking about you!
"Oh well, Earth Land doesn't have forest protection laws anyway." Ezreal shrugged indifferently, then turned to look at the Red and Blue Warriors standing on either side of him.
"The splitting magic has been significantly enhanced. It can split into nine duplicates, so counting the original, that's essentially ten lives!"
"The duplicates are as strong as the original, all C-class monster strength. Their rocky bodies have good destructive power and very impressive defense."
"However, the magic power in their bodies is only one-tenth of the original, but that's fine. Since they don't cast magic, less magic power doesn't matter. The defense and attack power of their rocky bodies won't decrease; close-quarters brawling is enough."
"Their speed has also increased; they can now move at about fifty or sixty miles per hour in a car, finally getting rid of their previous snail's pace." Ezreal nodded. For such a large, stone-made body, this speed was quite good.
"Overall, it's a successful Life Alchemy."
Ezreal was very satisfied, then continued: "I'll call you Red Warrior and Blue Warrior. From now on, you'll be the tank-style, and later I'll find more high-defense rock materials or crystals for you to merge with several times."
"Once I master Life Alchemy to the point where I can infuse magic into living beings, I'll arrange some crowd control skills for you, and then it'll be perfect."
"You guys take the damage upfront, and I'll be behind, spamming skills—perfect!"
Ezreal briefly envisioned the future, clapped his hands happily, then waved his hand, and the Red and Blue Warriors disappeared as if erased, returning to the Rift.
"Next up, fusion time! Come out, Shadow Wolf, Crimson Raptor!" Ezreal spread his hands, opening four Dimensional Summoning Gates again, with white energy vortexes appearing beside him.
Following that, six Shadow Wolves and twelve Crimson Raptors emerged from the white vortexes, their eyes wary and full of malice, closely surrounding Ezreal.
Ezreal clasped his hands together, and a ghostly green mist, shaped like flames, ignited his palms. His eyes also glowed with green light.
"Life Alchemy!"
Before he finished speaking, a thick, ghostly green mist emanated from Ezreal's palms, rapidly spreading out to envelop the six Shadow Wolves and twelve Crimson Raptors.
This time, the green dense mist lasted even longer than before, about four hours.
And this time, within the dense mist, the screams of Shadow Wolves and the howls of Raptors could be heard, interspersed with the occasional sound of bones cracking.
In the dark forest at night, the continuous screams and howls, accompanied by the whimpering autumn wind, were incredibly eerie.
Ezreal's magic power couldn't sustain such a long Life Alchemy, so after maintaining the magic output for about an hour, he activated Magic Sharing.
This was one of the three core auxiliary magics recorded in the Dimensional Summoning spell.
The purpose of Magic Sharing is to forcibly extract magic power from magic-based living beings that have signed a contract with the Summoner for the Summoner's use.
As long as the extracted magic power does not exceed the Summoner's body's limit, there is virtually no risk.
However, if it exceeds the range the caster's body can contain, it will lead to an explosion and death.
This magic, to a certain extent, compensated for Ezreal's inherent lack of magic power.
Before his own magic power was completely consumed by Life Alchemy, Ezreal transferred all the magic power from the Blue Sentinel and the Brambleback, who were in the Rift, as well as the Red and Blue Warriors he had just modified through Life Alchemy, to himself.
Under the immense magic power boost, the green mist released by Ezreal became increasingly dense, almost coalescing into a green cloud.
Within this green cloud, nothing could be seen, not even screams could escape.
Before the magic power of the Blue Sentinel, which had the most abundant and strongest sustained magic power, was depleted, Ezreal finally completed this Life Alchemy.
The cloud-like green mist gradually thinned, slowly being absorbed by the creatures within it. As the mist faded, Ezreal, standing quietly in place, and six massive monsters revealed themselves.
