The gold sand barrier fluctuated violently, and the gold sand on its surface was forcefully torn and devoured!
"Hmph!" Max snorted coldly, golden light exploding in his pupils!
"gold sand - Quicksand Burial!"
Boom!
The ground beneath the Evil Wolf's feet instantly softened and collapsed!
Countless gold sand wrapped around it like living things, forming a huge quicksand vortex, attempting to drag the Evil Wolf's massive body underground!
At the same time, the devoured gold sand spun and cut frantically inside the vortex!
...Summoners Rift jungle, deep within the magical forest.
Natsu's figure landed unsteadily in the dense forest. He shook his dizzy head, his crimson pupils scanning his surroundings vigilantly.
"Cana! Max!" he called out softly, but his side was empty. His companions seemed to have been teleported to other places.
"Tsk, separated..." Natsu clenched his fist, flames dancing on it. "EZ, that guy's space... there are so many trees..."
Just as he was about to step forward, a strong sense of unease instantly gripped him!
The surrounding air seemed to solidify!
The magical forest, once full of life, was now filled with an aura of death and decay!
The ground beneath his feet trembled slightly!
"Buzz--!"
A low rumble, like ancient wood splitting, sounded in front of Natsu!
Immediately after!
A giant Treant, fifteen meters tall, suddenly broke through the dense canopy and appeared before Natsu!
It was a Fire Crown Treant!
But it too had been completely twisted by darkness!
The fiery crown on its head had long been extinguished, replaced by a pitch-black crown made of twisted thorns and pale bone spikes!
The leaf armor on its body had turned into charred scales, and the vines that once burned with the fire of life now transformed into dozens of black tentacles, flowing with corrosive venom, like venomous dragons!
All signs of life were gone, leaving only pure death and decay!
Those fiery red eyes were now just two hollow points burning with cold, ghostly fire!
"Treant..." Natsu's pupils contracted, flames burning fiercely in his eyes. "Even you've become like this?!"
"Buzz--!" The Blackened Treant's face, made of ancient wood grain, was expressionless, its hollow eyes burning with ghostly fire locked onto Natsu!
Its massive body leaned slightly forward, and its giant arm, covered in charred scales, plunged into the ground!
Boom!
Countless thick, dragon-like black tentacles, flowing with corrosive venom, burst out of the ground!
Like dancing venomous dragons, they wrapped around Natsu from all directions, bringing with them a pungent stench and terrifying heat that plundered life!
At the same time, an invisible life-draining wave spread out, attempting to weaken Natsu's vitality!
"Fire Dragons Roar!" Natsu didn't hesitate. He took a deep breath, his chest expanding like a bellows!
A scorching white flame breath, like a breached lava flow, roared with the power to incinerate everything, slamming fiercely into the incoming black tentacles!
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle--!!!
Flames and venom collided violently, annihilating each other!
Emitting a harsh melting sound!
The intense heat evaporated the venom, and the flames burned the tentacles black and broke them!
But more tentacles emerged from underground, coming one after another!
Even more critically, Natsu felt a chilling power eroding his body, his vitality slowly draining away!
"Damn it! There are too many trees in this cursed place! My flames are suppressed!" Natsu gritted his teeth, the temperature of his flames clearly not as fierce as outside!
He leaped back, dodging several sweeping tentacles, his fists igniting with flames. "Fire Dragons Wing Attack!"
A fiery whirlwind swept out, forcing back the approaching tentacles!
But the pitch-black crown on the Blackened Treant's head flashed with ghostly light!
"Buzz--!"
An even larger aura of death and decay erupted!
The ground trembled violently!
More, thicker black tentacles burst out of the ground!
At the same time, a viscous black poisonous mist seeped from the gaps in the Treant's charred scales, rapidly spreading!
Wherever the poisonous mist passed, the surrounding magical plants quickly withered, faded, and turned to ash!
"Poisonous mist?!" Natsu's expression changed. He quickly held his breath, flames forming a shield around him, but the corrosive power of the poisonous mist was extremely strong, making the flame shield sizzle!
He was in an unprecedented predicament!
The jungle environment restricted the power of his flames, while the Blackened Treant's poisonous mist and tentacle attacks thrived!
Summoners Rift, five battlefields, erupting simultaneously!
Mid-lane, Cana's elemental shield fluctuated violently under the Blackened Flamingo's dark arrow rain, cracks spreading!
"I can't just defend passively!" A determined look flashed in Cana's eyes!
She suddenly drew out a special fairy card with a shimmering purple-gold edge - fairy card - Elemental Fusion!
"fairy card - Elemental Storm - Modified!"
She slammed the Elemental Fusion fairy card onto the fairy card formation maintaining the shield!
Buzz--!!!
The defensive elemental shield instantly disintegrated!
The wild elemental energy was no longer used for defense but completely transformed into an offensive form!
Fire, frost, lightning, hurricane, and holy light, five streams of energy spun and fused frantically!
Forming a destructive, five-colored elemental energy torrent over three meters in diameter!
Like a roaring elemental dragon, it surged upstream, slamming fiercely into the diving Blackened Flamingo!
"Caw--!!!" The Flamingo let out an angry shriek, its pitch-black bone wings suddenly retracting. Its entire body transformed into a meteor burning with pitch-black flames, carrying the power to pierce through everything, boldly crashing into the elemental torrent!
Bottom lane, Lucy maintained horologium's Eternal Protection barrier, resisting the triple erosion of poisonous mist, gravity field, and despair aura, her face growing paler.
"Levy! Are you ready?"
"Just a little longer!" The magic book in Levy's hand glowed brightly, its pages turning to the one depicting a mermaid - Nami, the Tidecaller!
"Story Manifestation - Nami, the Tidecaller! Reader Immersion - Complete Descent!"
Levy bit her index finger, and the moment a drop of blood fell onto the illustration, silver powder suddenly lit up!
Her legs were enveloped in azure light, and water-patterned magic circles appeared beneath her skin, instantly transforming into a fish tail covered in pearlescent scales!
Water rings constantly condensed around her, forming flowing bands of light behind her!
A staff inlaid with a sapphire appeared in her hand, and she waved it gently!
"Aqua Prison!"
Rumble, rumble---!!!
The rushing river seemed to be stirred by an unseen force!
A three-meter-high giant wave appeared out of thin air, its crest swirling with white foam, carrying the power of purification and impact, slamming fiercely towards the Blackened Marsh Frog and the Blue Buff!
The moment the giant wave touched the poisonous mist, it made a "sizzle" sound, and a large amount of poisonous mist was diluted and dispersed by the water flow!
At the same time, the powerful water current slammed into the Marsh Frog's massive body, making it stumble!
The Blue Buff's gravity field was also disturbed by the water flow, showing a slight fluctuation!
Top lane, Max and the Blackened Evil Wolf's struggle entered a white-hot phase!
The quicksand vortex spun frantically, trying to devour the Evil Wolf!
But the dark wings on the Evil Wolf's back suddenly flapped!
A violent dark hurricane erupted!
It forcefully tore and scattered the entangled gold sand!
"Roar!" The Evil Wolf broke free, its gaping maw opening, and the Shadow Devour vortex formed again, a terrifying suction pulling at Max!
"gold sand Arcane - Thousand-Fold Sand Wall!" Max's hands suddenly clasped together!
Thick gold sand walls rose from the ground, layered in front of him!
The walls trembled violently and shattered under the suction, but new walls continuously generated!
At the same time, countless sharp sand blades made of gold sand shot towards the Evil Wolf like a torrential rain!
"Clang, clang, clang!" The sand blades struck the dark fur on the Evil Wolf's body, making crisp sounds like metal clashing. Most were deflected, but some still left shallow white marks on the fur!
The Evil Wolf cried out in pain, becoming even more enraged, and a crimson ghostly light surged in its eyes!
Jungle forest, Natsu's situation became increasingly perilous!
The poisonous mist grew thicker, and the flame shield was corroded thinner and thinner!
Countless black tentacles, like venomous snakes, attacked from all directions, each strike carrying corrosive venom and life-draining power!
"Damn it!" Natsu dodged frantically, his fiery fists continuously blasting out, burning off approaching tentacles, but new tentacles immediately replaced them!
"This can't go on!" A hint of madness flashed in Natsu's eyes. "I have to get close! Attack the main body!"
He took a deep breath, his chest swelling, flames compressing deep in his throat!
"Fire Dragons Roar!"
A scorching white pillar of fire erupted, forcefully blasting open a path through the dense mass of tentacles!
Natsu seized the opportunity, pushing off the ground, flames erupting beneath his feet. He shot forward like a cannonball along the path opened by the fire pillar, directly towards the Blackened Treant's main body!
"Roar!" The Treant seemed to sense Natsu's intention, and the charred scales on its body suddenly glowed with ghostly light!
"Buzz--!"
A layer of viscous, foul-smelling black mucus shield instantly expanded over its body!
At the same time, several of the thickest black tentacles coiled back like giant pythons, striking fiercely at the charging Natsu!
"Fire Dragon's Scales!" Natsu roared, imitating Gajeel's move, flames instantly condensing into crimson scales on his body!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The tentacles slammed fiercely onto the flame scales!
The scales shattered, and flames splattered!
Natsu grunted, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but his momentum did not decrease!
"Break for me! Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!!!"
His fist, burning with scorching white flames, carrying Natsu's indomitable will and wild power, slammed fiercely into the black mucus shield on the Treant's body!
Boom--!!!!
Flames and mucus collided violently, annihilating each other!
The shield fluctuated violently, and a huge dent was smashed into its surface!
But it did not break!
"Buzz--!" The pitch-black crown on the Treant's head glowed brightly!
A stronger aura of death and decay erupted!
Natsu felt the rate of life-force loss suddenly accelerate!
At the same time, countless tiny black spikes suddenly shot out from the dent in the shield, stabbing towards Natsu's fist!
"Not good!" Natsu's pupils contracted!
In the five battlefields, all members of the rescue team were engaged in a bitter struggle!
