Chapter 156 - Chapter 156: Engagement

"So, there are twenty-three more people like you?" Cana's heart was slightly startled as she narrowed her eyes, looking at the Jingzhe Scorpion opposite her.

Elfman, beside her, had a slight sheen of sweat on his forehead. He was certain that if that last attack had hit him, he would have been severely injured.

Ezreal stared intently at the enemy, and Cana and Elfman moved closer to him.

On the other side, the Jingzhe Scorpion twisted his neck, purple electric light flickering around him, and his scorpion tail, which had been in a cannon-like form, slowly transformed, its tip reverting to a sharp scorpion tail.

Beside him, the White Rat People and Black Pig People were clearly separated into two groups, respectfully kneeling on one knee. The subsequent Orcs rushing out of the teleportation gate also knelt down in turn.

"Greetings, General!"

"Disperse and capture and kill the humans with full force!" The Jingzhe Scorpion's eyes were cold as he swept his hand horizontally.

"Yes!"

The surrounding Orc Soldiers immediately responded in unison, then stood up and rapidly scattered like fireworks exploding on the ground, howling as they rushed to various parts of the city.

The Fiore Kingdom had already notified its citizens to evacuate in advance.

Monster attacks were common in this world, so the citizens didn't feel much panic about the Orc invasion.

Those who could afford it had already fled to other countries for refuge, while those who couldn't were hiding at home, locking their doors and windows, waiting for the Guild Mages or Royal Army to handle it.

"Gray, have you died enough yet?" Ezreal roared with a grim face, without turning his head, then said to Cana and Elfman: "Lightning magic is too incompatible with you two. Leave this troublesome guy to me; you two handle the Orcs."

Cana nodded, "No problem!"

With a flick of her hands, ten cards appeared at Cana's fingertips. With a flick of her wrist, nine cards shot out, transforming into a sky full of black feathers carrying a black aura of death, flying horizontally.

In just an instant, nearly a hundred White Rat People were killed in one blow, falling down with wails like wheat being cut.

Cana ran quickly, and as she ran, she threw a card. A seven-colored light flashed, transforming into a handsome white horse with hooves that stirred the wind.

Cana flipped onto the horse, accelerating towards the Orc Soldiers. The Evil Crow King and Frost Spirit were also unsealed by her, rushing in different directions, one to the left and one to the right.

Elfman tore open his cotton clothes, revealing his bronze, muscular physique. "Man, leave it to me!"

"Partial Take Over · Beast Arm!"

A wild aura erupted from Elfman. From the front of his right hand, a black magic circle opened, and then the muscles of his right arm gradually swelled. Blue-black, shield-shaped scales covered his arm from his fingertips.

When the blue-black scales completely covered his arm, Elfman's arm transformed into a monster's claw with sharp, knife-like nails.

After his right hand completed the Take Over transformation, Elfman's eyes also changed into eerie amber vertical pupils, looking somewhat like the eyes of a cold-blooded animal.

His knees bent slightly, and the next moment, Elfman shot out from his spot like a cannonball.

His giant right claw opened, grabbing a Black Pig Person by the head and slamming him to the ground.

The huge pig's head exploded the moment it hit the ground, like a bursting watermelon. The headless corpse twitched twice, then completely died, and crimson blood flowed in a trickle.

Elfman picked up the rolling mace from the ground with his left hand, tossed it twice, and nodded in satisfaction.

Elfman, who was about 2.2 meters tall, held the mace perfectly.

He just carried the mace and rushed towards his next target.

As Cana and Elfman moved, a figure enveloped in ice-blue cold air, with rapidly spreading ice beneath his feet, rushed towards the direction behind Ezreal.

Wherever he passed, cold air overflowed, and both the White Rat People and Black Pig People instantly turned into ice sculptures.

It was Gray, who had just been sent flying by the lightning.

Although his chest had a slight scorch mark and his upper garment was gone, Gray showed no signs of injury.

Seeing Cana and the others in action, and their astonishing speed of killing, the originally arrogant Jingzhe Scorpion's face turned ugly. "Damn human Mages!"

"I'll kill you first!"

The Jingzhe Scorpion licked his tongue around his lips. He spread his hands, purple electric arcs flickering between his fingers.

The Jingzhe Scorpion leaned forward slightly, adopting an attacking stance, but the next second, his whole body stiffened. A strong killing intent and malice locked onto him.

"This aura…" He suddenly looked up at the golden-haired young man in front of him, somewhat disbelieving, "Monster? Summoner!"

"I advise you to stay put." Ezreal's expression was cold and hard. The night was deep, and an extremely ferocious beastly aura emanated from behind him. A low, chilling wolf howl suddenly echoed in the night, carrying undisguised malice that sent shivers down one's spine.

"White rats, commonly used in alchemist experiments, are standard D-Class Monsters. Their characteristics are strong reproductive ability, strong adaptability, and no magic, but the magic power in their bodies strengthens their stomach, allowing them to digest even rotten, spoiled, or poisonous food normally."

"Black-maned wild boars are common D-Class Monsters. They have thick skin, strong physiques, and like white rats, are species with strong reproductive ability and strong adaptability. Their innate magic is physical enhancement, a passive magic where magic power slowly increases physical strength."

"By fusing human bloodlines, constructing human forms to increase intelligence, and through the process of genetic reconstruction, the magic powers positively interact, elevating their power level."

"Although the proportion of low-level monster genes is high, they can perfectly fuse without genetic collapse."

"It seems you've truly obtained some incredible technology." Ezreal carefully observed the Jingzhe Scorpion opposite him.

"Although your skin has turned purple, I can still recognize your appearance. If I'm not mistaken, you should be Kabuda, the Vice Guild Master of the Dark Guild Evil Worm, an A-Class Mage skilled in lightning magic."

"You fused with a Purple Lightning Scorpion, didn't you?"

Ezreal asked with certainty in his voice.

In the entire Guild, no one was more authoritative than him when it came to understanding Monsters.

That scorpion tail, which could freely transform between cannon and scorpion tail forms, was a characteristic of the ancient Purple Lightning Scorpion.

This transformation was actually the Purple Lightning Scorpion's innate magic, Electric Cannon!

A simple, brutal, yet incredibly powerful lightning magic.

"No matter how much you know, you'll still die, brat!" The Jingzhe Scorpion glared, purple electric light exploding around him. He felt a sense of unease at this moment.

The chilling aura coming from behind Ezreal grew stronger and stronger. That malicious aura, carrying evil, seemed to permeate every corner of the surroundings.

"You are far from it." Ezreal looked at him expressionlessly.

"In front of my lightning, you won't have a chance to summon Monsters!" The Jingzhe Scorpion bent down, supporting himself on the ground with both hands. His entire body resembled a mutated giant scorpion, his purple scorpion tail raised high, and the flickering electric arcs began to gather at its tip.

But the next second, a gigantic wolf claw, condensed from black smoke, suddenly appeared above the Jingzhe Scorpion's head.

A cold, shrill wolf howl echoed at that moment. The black smoke wolf claw slammed the Jingzhe Scorpion to the ground, its immense force directly shattering the ground. Spiderweb cracks spread, a huge deep pit appeared in the ground, and shattered rocks and dirt flew everywhere.

The wolf claw pressed down on the Jingzhe Scorpion, driving him into the ground.
