Tore had just escaped the quicksand and hadn't yet found his footing.
At this moment, Blue Buff appeared in front of him with a flash, swinging its massive fist. The fist whistled through the air, carrying an overwhelming force as it slammed towards Tore.
The colossal stone fist grew larger and larger in front of his eyes. Tore, with no other option, could only cross his arms to block.
"Bang!" A deafening roar echoed.
Tore was knocked back dozens of meters, the ground along his path torn up, forming a long gully.
"My hand bones are fractured!" Beneath his mask, Tore's face was exceptionally grim. The intense pain from his hands made his arms tremble uncontrollably. Pain and numbness intertwined, causing him to temporarily lose control of his arms.
Just then, Blue Buff across from him clasped its hands together, a deep sound like a grand bell.
"Eternal Land!"
Violent, heavy magic surged out of Blue Buff as if it were free, forming a seemingly substantial grey earth-wave.
Tore instinctively wanted to retreat and dodge, but the next second, he uncontrollably fell to his knees. His already fractured arms instinctively braced against the ground, and a crisp cracking sound was heard as a mist of blood burst from the crevices of the stone armor on his arms.
The excruciating pain in his arms made him let out a groan. Blood trickled from the breathing holes of his face mask, rapidly dripping to the ground.
But at this moment, Tore no longer had time to worry about his arm injury. His eyes were bloodshot, filled with blood, and the blood within his body surged, threatening to burst out and sink into the ground at any moment.
Tore knelt on the ground, and the ground itself was sinking.
Centered on him, the ground within a radius of dozens of meters sank by nearly a meter. The air in this sunken area was distorted; looking from the outside in, the air within it was rapidly descending, permeating into the soil.
Tore's eyes were crimson, and bloody tears dripped from the corners of his eyes. His ears and nose were also bleeding.
All the bones in his body trembled, emitting a grating, teeth-aching sound.
"Such powerful gravity magic?" As this thought just surfaced in Tore's mind, Blue Buff's subsequent attack had already arrived.
Tore, suppressed by gravity, suddenly noticed a large shadow suddenly enveloping him.
A giant rock, at least ten meters tall, descended from the sky. The heavy rock, as large as a small mountain, aided by gravity, fell from a hundred meters high to the ground almost instantly.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar once again echoed in the forest. This time, the ground directly cracked open.
The immense impact shattered the surrounding trees, sending leaves, grass, and dirt flying.
Even Ezreal, who was watching from afar, was thrown half a meter high by the trembling earth.
After the small mountain fell, Blue Buff still didn't stop its attack.
It stretched its palms towards the sky and then forcefully pulled them down.
With its movement, the sky suddenly darkened, and ten more giant rocks, not much smaller than the previous small mountain, appeared one after another, raining down like dumplings.
The doubled gravity combined with the power brought by their enormous size caused the ground to tremble ten times consecutively.
The immense impact completely tore apart the surrounding land, leaving not a single intact tree within a hundred meters.
Rising dust billowed, like boiling water.
The entire clearing was obscured by the dust, making everything invisible.
Ezreal, his body glowing with a faint white light, his hands clasped across his chest, flew far away from the dust. He couldn't help but click his tongue, "Having a lot of magic is just being domineering, directly using an ultimate to wipe the floor."
Ezreal shouted from afar, "Blue Buff, there's still a life force. He's still alive."
Blue Buff didn't reply. Being in the battlefield, it had already sensed, through its earth element perception, that the person who was competing with it for control of the surrounding earth elements was still there.
The continuous attacks had surprisingly failed to kill the opponent, which also slightly startled it.
Blue Buff was in the dust, its single eye's light flickering, maximizing its perception.
Its single eye wasn't actually a real eye, but merely a head shape.
Blue Buff, strictly speaking, belonged to a type of elemental spirit.
Categorized as a Stone Spirit.
Its true form was that blue light, and it perceived external information by relying on the earth element magic in the air.
Every pebble and speck of dust in the surrounding dust was its eye.
In its perception, a strong sense of danger emerged, but this sense of danger was everywhere, as if the enemy was ubiquitous.
Blue Buff felt uneasy.
"Boom!"
Another loud bang came from the ground. A giant stone arm burst out from underground, its fist wrapped in a grey magical glow, and it punched Blue Buff away.
Blue Buff, being knocked away, adjusted its body in mid-air and looked down.
On the ground, a stone giant of similar size to it stood prominently, its hands forming a lotus palm gesture. A thick, earthy-grey beam of light instantly traversed dozens of meters and slammed into Blue Buff's body.
The immense power directly punched a large hole through Blue Buff's torso.
Blue Buff was thrown high into the air, then landed heavily on the ground.
The Stone Man moved its steps, quickly rushing towards the fallen Blue Buff.
Ezreal in the sky was still observing. Upon seeing the Stone Man appear, he frowned slightly, "So he has Stone Man bloodline? No wonder he could escape from the gravity field. He can actually merge himself with rock. What is this, semi-elementalization?"
While Ezreal pondered, Tore, in his Stone Giant form, with a sinister smile on his face, had already rushed to Blue Buff's side and raised his foot to stomp on Blue Buff's head.
"Die!"
Just as Tore's massive foot was about to descend, several thick stone stalagmites suddenly grew out of the ground, bursting forth and fiercely pushing Tore away.
And Blue Buff, which had been lying on the ground, now stood up. The earth trembled slightly, and streams of earthy-grey air emerged from underground, integrating into Blue Buff's body through its legs. The large hole in its chest glowed blue, the broken area shining brightly with blue light, and rock rapidly grew, restoring it.
In the blink of an eye, the large hole in its chest was restored to its original state.
The moment its injuries were healed, Stone Man Tore, who had just been knocked away, charged forward again.
His fist, wrapped in a grey glow, came smashing over.
The grey light at the front of his fist transformed into a giant grey magic array, and hundreds of human-head sized stone cones flew out from the array, raining down like a storm.
Blue Buff clasped its hands together, bowing its head slightly, grey mist emanating from its body.
"Power of the Mountains!"
Blue Buff's deep voice resonated.
The grey mist around its body vaguely formed a nearly ten-meter-tall phantom of a giant mountain, enveloping Blue Buff.
The incoming stone cones struck the mountain phantom, like a mayfly trying to shake a tree, shattering and exploding into scattered rock and dust.
