Cherreads

Chapter 67 - Chapter 67: War

Ezreal, by expending all his magic and using magic amplification, could temporarily elevate the Red and Blue Buffs to the level of A-Ranked Magical Beasts.

Although it could only last for a short time, it was enough to support a battle.

As for Ezreal himself, after exhausting his magic, he could still obtain magic from other Summoned Beasts through magic sharing.

Two A-Ranked Magical Beasts, plus himself, made for three A-Rank combat powers.

Even if he truly encountered an S-Rank Magic Beast, Ezreal could ensure his safe retreat.

"Kid, your additional magic won't last long. You know, I'm a treant, inherently peace-loving and life-cherishing. Instead of fighting to the death, why don't we stop here, and I'll let you go?" The War Ancient Tree's tone was sincere, and he even deliberately took two steps back, spreading his hands to show his sincerity.

"You make a good point," Ezreal nodded seriously, but then his tone shifted. "But you are my precious prey!"

"Kid, are you sure you want to fight me to the death?" The War Ancient Tree's expression turned angry, and red light once again gleamed in his eyes.

Ezreal smiled. He took two steps forward and said, "I know you're stalling for time. Coincidentally, so am I."

"Regardless of whether you're ready or not, I am ready!"

The War Ancient Tree's face suddenly changed.

"Amaterasu - Style 28!"

Ezreal roared, bringing his hands, which were hidden behind his back, together in front of his chest.

Three massive white magic circles appeared above the War Ancient Tree's head, and a white pillar of light, carrying immense power like a falling galaxy, instantly engulfed him.

Immediately following, the Red Buff's fiery red eyes glared, and hundreds of enormous leaves condensed around his body, flying like a rainstorm towards the War Ancient Tree engulfed in white light.

The Blue Buff was not to be outdone; he pointed both hands skyward, then violently pulled them down. As soon as the magic circles of Amaterasu - Style 28 dissipated, a massive meteor, accompanied by a biting wind, descended from the sky!

As the white light dissipated, the War Ancient Tree felt a bit weak all over. The strong wind whistled above his head. He had just looked up at the sky when the meteor struck him squarely in the face.

The meteor, with its immense force, slammed the War Ancient Tree heavily into the ground. Spiderweb-like cracks spread outwards, with half of the meteor on the surface and the other half pressing the War Ancient Tree into the earth.

The War Ancient Tree let out an earth-shattering roar, a sound that seemed capable of tearing the sky apart.

He furiously twisted his massive body, attempting to break free from the meteor's heavy suppression.

Under the impact of his violent power, the enormous meteor cracked, making "kacha" sounds. Countless fissures spread, and shattered rocks shot out like meteors in all directions.

Ezreal's hands rapidly moved to form a hand seal, and he let out a low growl, "Amaterasu - Light Shield!"

Instantly, a translucent shield, sparkling with brilliant white light, completely enveloped him and the Red and Blue Buffs.

The branches and leaves on the War Ancient Tree's body were like the chaotic claws of a demon, and emerald green magic surged out like a torrential tide.

His previously heavily damaged areas healed at an inconceivable speed; scorched branches and leaves regenerated, broken tree trunks rapidly mended, and new branches grew wildly like snakes.

Immediately after, he stomped his foot, and countless roots, like flood dragons breaking free from their shackles, shot out from underground with a sharp whistling sound, sweeping towards Ezreal and his companions with overwhelming force.

The Red Buff did not hesitate. Magic surged through his body, and countless thick and tough emerald green vines instantly extended, intertwining and clashing with the War Ancient Tree's roots.

For a moment, the plant-based powers of both sides fiercely clashed in the air. The fluctuations of magic caused ripples in the surrounding air, as if it were a mirror about to shatter.

Ezreal's eyes were like torches. Seizing the opportunity, he struck a Kamehameha pose, his eyes wide open, and shouted, "Destruction Beam!"

A solid-looking white pillar of light shot out from his hands, like a lightning bolt piercing the night sky, carrying an aura of destruction, heading straight for the War Ancient Tree's trunk.

The War Ancient Tree's body flashed rapidly, trying to dodge, but the light pillar followed him like a shadow, eventually whistling past his trunk, instantly leaving a terrifying, charred black mark on it. Bark peeled away, and wood chips fluttered down like snowflakes.

"Tracking magic?" The burning pain from his body made the War Ancient Tree even angrier.

"Human brat, today will be your death day!" The War Ancient Tree roared, and the surrounding trees seemed to be driven by his terrifying will.

The originally soft branches instantly transformed into sharp, spear-like lances, shooting towards Ezreal and his companions like a volley of arrows.

The Blue Buff reacted with lightning speed, slamming his palms onto the ground.

The ground instantly trembled violently. A powerful force, like surging waves, caused the charging trees to instantly lose their balance, and the originally straight, spear-like branches deviated from their intended path.

The Red Buff seized the opportunity to increase his magic output. His vines instantly became thicker and stronger, twisting like giant pythons, and forcibly tearing off some of the War Ancient Tree's roots.

The War Ancient Tree let out another muffled, thunderous roar. Magic once again surged violently from his body like a volcanic eruption, and a green energy shockwave swept over, instantly shattering the Red Buff's vines.

The Red Buff was even sent flying by this powerful shockwave, crashing into the distance like a meteor, creating a massive crater in the ground.

Ezreal's hands moved non-stop, continuously firing one Amaterasu after another. Each white meteor emitted a dazzling white light, like a tracking missile, automatically locking onto the War Ancient Tree.

No matter how the War Ancient Tree dodged left and right, he could not escape these tracking white pillars of light.

"Damn it, what kind of magic is this!" The War Ancient Tree roared in anger, but it was useless.

One white meteor after another struck the War Ancient Tree. Amidst the booming explosions and rising white light, his hard tree trunk body developed one charred black pit after another, his branches and leaves were scattered, and green sap splattered.

On each wound, tiny white light specks, like snowflakes, were burning the wound, and with the added buff effect from the Red Buff, the War Ancient Tree's vitality was continuously being consumed.

"Damn it!" The War Ancient Tree's aura began to become chaotic, and his movements gradually slowed.

"Thorn Strangulation!" The War Ancient Tree waved his hands, and countless sharp, blade-like thorns grew wildly from all directions, intertwining to form a giant strangulation trap, rapidly closing in on Ezreal and his companions.

Ezreal's gaze was cold and hard. He crossed his hands over his chest, "Amaterasu - Solar Blast!"

An extremely powerful burst of light instantly erupted within the Thorn Strangulation trap, and some of the thorns were instantly blasted into dust.

The Blue Buff pressed his hands tightly to the ground, his whole body glowing blue.

Countless massive cracks instantly appeared on the ground, like the gaping maw of an abyss, attempting to tear apart the Thorn Strangulation trap. But the War Ancient Tree continuously cast magic, repairing the damaged trap, causing their breakouts to fail repeatedly.
