Although the Owl Man's philosopher's stone had been integrated into the Evil Wolf by Ezreal, Ezreal had always kept the Owl Man's Devouring Magic deep in his memory.
After successfully learning magic alchemy, Ezreal directly inscribed the method of using Devouring Magic into the Crimson Raptors and Marsh Frogs.
This also allowed these two Summoned Beasts to independently cultivate and improve their strength during this period.
However, because the inscription time was not long, their progress was indeed average just by relying on their own cultivation.
The two large Crimson Raptors' strength barely caught up to the Marsh Frogs, reaching C+ grade, and their original fireball skill automatically upgraded to Explosive Fireball, which was larger and would explode.
And they newly awakened a skill that could shoot flaming feathers.
This gave them an additional area-of-effect attack method besides spitting fireballs, which was quite good.
As for the ten small Raptors, besides their size increasing by a circle, their strength barely reached D+ level.
Another thing worth mentioning is that, perhaps because they could cultivate, as the fire-attribute magic power in their bodies increased, the feathers of these Raptors gradually turned completely red.
Previously, their feather colors were half red and half blue, with the large Raptors having entirely blue heads and red bodies, and the small Raptors having the opposite colors.
Now they were completely red firebird forms.
The large Raptors even emitted fire from their mouths, nostrils, and eyes with each breath.
They looked extraordinarily majestic.
Crimson Raptor was no longer an appropriate image, so Ezreal gave them a new name, changing it to 'Flamingo'.
Ezreal looked at the flock of Flamingos hovering beside him, flapping their wings, nodded, and then looked down.
At the red and blue spawn points, two large green-skinned frogs, each the size of a tank, were squatting, diligently raising their hands to greet Ezreal in the sky.
Their massive bodies, amber eyes, and gaping mouths large enough to swallow an adult, with eerie purple insides and even a purple forked tongue.
With each breath, purple toxic gas drifted into the air from their mouths and nostrils.
These were precisely the Marsh Frogs, whose strength was just a step away from B-grade after gaining Devouring Magic.
Ezreal nodded slightly, then gave an order without looking back, "Evil Wolf, hunt down the Orc Soldiers with all your might!"
"Flamingos, Marsh Frogs, you have only one mission: eat to your heart's content! Eat diligently! Eat as much as you can, eat freely!"
At his command, a wolf howl came from the black cloud behind him, the black cloud swelled and trembled, and then one after another, wolf-head specters formed from black smoke howled and flew out of the black cloud, pouncing down on the Orc Soldiers.
The Orc Soldiers, who were originally exploring the canyon, suddenly heard a mournful wolf howl from the sky, instinctively stopped their movements, and looked up.
They saw hundreds of wolf-head specters formed from black smoke rapidly descending from the sky, heading straight for them.
The wolf-head specters were extremely fast, rushing forward; with just one bite, the Orc Soldiers' bodies showed no external damage, but their eyes lost their luster, becoming dull and pale, and then they fell straight to the ground.
This was a new magic the Evil Wolf mastered after evolving to S-grade, which Ezreal called - Wolf Spirit!
From its appearance, it was very similar to Kindred's Wolf Spirit!
This was a new ability the Evil Wolf comprehended by combining its Dark Magic and Undead Magic.
Each Wolf Spirit had the ability to devour enemy souls.
Moreover, Wolf Spirits had no physical form, could gather and disperse like gas, and could even become invisible.
Their lethality was terrifying!
Large groups of Wolf Spirits flew through the canyon, and the Orc Soldiers instantly fell into a panic; they scattered and fled, but the wolf-head specters followed like shadows, continuously harvesting their lives.
At this time, the flock of Flamingos and the Marsh Frogs also began their actions.
The Flamingos flapped their wings and spread out, opening their large mouths and spewing out huge fireballs; these fireballs struck accurately, and each one could knock down an Orc.
In terms of power, about two fireballs could barely kill an Orc Soldier.
Compared to the Evil Wolf's Wolf Spirit magic, it seemed very weak.
Ezreal, observing from the side, did not disdain them; the small Flamingos' strength was too low after all, so dealing some damage to contribute was enough.
In contrast, the performance of the large Flamingos and Marsh Frogs was very impressive.
The two leading large Flamingos shook their wings, and crimson feathers burning with flames shot towards the Orcs like an arrow rain.
Nearly a hundred flaming feathers fell like rain, and in an instant, dozens of Orcs fell to the ground.
The Marsh Frogs, originally squatting at the red and blue bases, charged out with massive leaps.
Each leap covered a distance of nearly ten meters, and their massive bodies landed on the ground, directly crushing any Orcs who failed to dodge in time with their astonishing weight.
The two Marsh Frogs, relying on their thick skin and tough flesh, directly rushed into the Orc crowd with their bodies.
They opened their huge mouths and exhaled forcefully, spewing out purple toxic gas.
The highly corrosive toxic effect was astonishing.
Any Orc contaminated by the purple toxic gas instantly let out tragic, high-pitched wails, their skin rapidly festering and decaying at a visible speed.
The toxic gas from the two Marsh Frogs was simply comparable to concentrated sulfuric acid.
After the purple toxic gas was released, even the flock of Flamingos in the air instinctively increased their flight altitude slightly, fearing being affected.
The area around the two Marsh Frogs was enveloped in purple toxic gas, and the Orcs corroded by the gas did not struggle for long before succumbing to death due to corroded respiratory tracts, falling one after another to the ground.
The amber eyes of the two behemoths lit up with a glow, filled with greed.
They each walked towards the Orc corpses, and with a nimble flick of their purple tongues, the corpses on the ground were immediately rolled up by their tongues and swallowed into their mouths.
The two Marsh Frogs simply chewed a couple of times, and then with a gulp, the corpses were swallowed into their bellies, their flat, plump abdomens not even showing a ripple.
And after the two Marsh Frogs swallowed the corpses, the magic power within them increased slightly, which manifested externally as their originally amber eyes lighting up with a glow, appearing like two bright lamps.
Having tasted the sweetness, the Marsh Frogs, with their bright eyes, suddenly opened their huge mouths and sucked forcefully; the surrounding Orc corpses seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, flying into the Marsh Frogs' mouths one after another.
The Marsh Frogs' plump abdomens visibly swelled rapidly, but in less than two seconds, their abdomens returned to flat.
With the blessing of Devouring Magic, the Orc corpses sucked in were rapidly digested in the Marsh Frogs' stomachs, becoming part of their strength.
The two already massive Marsh Frogs' bodies mysteriously grew slightly larger again.
In the sky above, the sharp-eyed flock of Flamingos, seeing the Marsh Frogs start eating, no longer cared about their performance.
They all found positions to land on the ground, opened their large mouths, and began tearing at the Orc corpses killed by the Wolf Spirits.
Under rapid consumption, the bodies of these Flamingos also underwent changes, their fiery red feather colors becoming even brighter and more vibrant.
Ezreal overlooked all of this from the sky, without a trace of pity on his face, his eyes cold and indifferent.
