The moonlight in Northwind City cast a blue-white cold glow on the snow. Ezreal stood on top of the caravan's carriage, his golden hair fluttering in the cold wind.
"What a commitment to the contract! The entire Dark Guild is here to ambush the caravan. You, the Guild Master, even led the team personally," Ezreal said from above, his eyes showing only mockery, no fear.
The man wearing the demon mask walked over, stepping on ice crystals.
With each step he took, the snow beneath his feet solidified into black ice crystals. The moonlight on his mask reflected no light at all, as if all light was swallowed by that eerie mask.
"There are 117 elite assassins from the Dark Guild here. No matter which Magician Guild you come from, leave now, and I can spare your life," the voice from under the mask was hoarse and unpleasant, like a dying crow.
"Otherwise, you will remain forever in this frozen land, along with your employers."
Ezreal suddenly burst out laughing, his laughter particularly grating in the deadly night.
He slowly raised his left hand. The caravan members suddenly found their shadows twisting and boiling, as if something was awakening.
"Comparing numbers?" The golden-haired youth lightly snapped his fingers, his fingers, encased in golden gauntlets, clapped together, producing a very crisp sound.
The shadows of the caravan members suddenly elongated, and hundreds of blood-red eyes opened simultaneously within the shadows.
A sinister and violent primal killing intent emanated through the blood-red pupils, making everyone feel a chill down their spine.
When the first wolf howl tore through the night sky, the entire Northwind City seemed to press a pause button.
One after another, piercing wolf howls rang out, and the caravan members instinctively panicked. But then, thick black smoke rose from the shadows of everyone in the caravan.
The black smoke condensed and took shape, and one wolf head after another twisted and detached from the shadows of the caravan members.
A wolf head formed from black smoke first emerged from the shadow of Old John, the caravan cook, followed by the shadow of the accountant, the shadow beneath the maid's skirt... Hundreds of black smoke wolf heads flew wildly in the air.
"Leave no one alive," Ezreal raised a hand and pointed. The hundreds of howling black smoke wolf heads flying above immediately charged towards the surrounding Black Robed Men.
The assassins of the Dark Guild began to engage with the wolf heads.
The strength of these assassins was quite good, but the abilities of the black smoke wolf heads were extremely strange.
Their bodies, condensed from black smoke, were immune to most physical damage and had a certain degree of resistance to magical damage.
Moreover, the wolf heads could also release sound wave attacks with their howls and spew dark energy. Being hit by a wolf head's attack would directly damage the soul.
These assassins of the Dark Guild found it extremely troublesome to deal with them, and their numbers were rapidly dwindling.
The Dark Guild Master stared intently at Ezreal on the carriage roof, his killing intent almost tangible. "Do you think you can stop me with Summoning Magic?"
Ezreal showed a mocking smile on his face, "I think I can."
Before Ezreal finished speaking, the Dark Guild Master suddenly burst into action. He raised his hand towards the golden-haired youth, and a black magic circle opened in his palm. Accompanied by a sound like a demon's wail, hundreds of black orbs flew directly towards Ezreal.
Ezreal's expression remained unchanged; he neither dodged nor avoided.
A giant white energy vortex opened in front of the carriage, followed by a wide white Stone Shield that emerged from the vortex first, firmly blocking the front of the carriage.
Hundreds of dark orbs slammed into the white Stone Shield, causing no damage whatsoever, disappearing one after another with a series of muffled thuds.
The ground trembled slightly. A Stone Man nearly six meters tall, made of milky white rock, with blood-red eyes, carrying a Stone Shield and a stone axe, strode out of the portal.
Immediately following him, a blue-eyed white Stone Man also emerged, carrying a stone hammer and a shield.
The two Stone Men, apart from their eyes and weapons, were almost identical, their bodies made of magic-sealing stone, heavy and majestic.
Without any instructions, the two Stone Warriors swung their weapons and charged towards the Dark Guild Master.
The Red-Eyed Stone Warrior led the charge, his raised stone axe cleaving down from above.
The Dark Guild Master's robe flapped in the strong winds stirred by the stone axe. He formed his fingers into a claw and grabbed at the void. Ten dark purple energy beams, like living snakes, wrapped around the Red-Eyed Stone Warrior's giant axe.
The moment the stone axe blade touched the dark magic, blinding sparks erupted. The dark energy, capable of corroding steel, only left a few wisps of smoke on the surface of the stone axe, failing to cause any damage.
"magic-sealing stone?!" The Dark Guild Master's voice finally revealed shock and anger, and the pupils beneath his mask suddenly constricted.
The Blue Stone Man came crashing in with his stone hammer. The Dark Guild Master immediately condensed his magic power into his arm, and his originally withered arm swelled and enlarged, wreathed in black smoke.
The Dark Guild Master actually raised his arm to directly block the Blue Stone Man's hammer strike.
But at that moment, the Red Stone Man stepped to the Dark Guild Master's side, and the stone axe in his hand swung horizontally.
The magic-sealing stone axe brought with it a fierce wind, and this strike directly cut the Dark Guild Master in half at the waist.
Although his body was severed into two pieces, the Dark Guild Master showed no sign of pain on his face. Intense black smoke billowed from the two severed halves, which suddenly exploded into dozens of ferocious black smoke ghosts, rapidly attacking the ordinary people of the caravan.
As expected, the Master of this Dark Guild was experienced.
After realizing that he couldn't easily defeat the Red and Blue Stone Golem with its magic-sealing stone body in a short time, he showed no intention of entanglement and immediately changed his attack target.
Ezreal looked at the Dark Guild Master in his black smoke demon form, his brow furrowing for the first time. "A ghost-type magic?"
Despite his surprise, Ezreal was not flustered.
Blazing white light points lit up the golden-haired youth's eyes, and a powerful, wild aura erupted. Intense white light spread outwards from Ezreal.
"Dust-Free Zone!"
The night instantly became as bright as day, the white light so intense that everyone instinctively closed their eyes.
The Dark Guild Master, transformed into a ghost, bore the brunt of it, directly facing the Dust-Free Zone.
Dozens of his ghostly bodies were instantly blasted away by the white light, accompanied by piercing screams.
The black smoke demon retreated in panic, then scattered and flew away without hesitation, completely ignoring the guild assassins being slaughtered by the Evil Wolf ghosts below.
Ezreal watched this scene, his brow unfurrowed, a mocking smile on his face. "How decisive, running away when you can't win."
"But unfortunately, you can't leave."
To the east, where the ghostly demon flew, an ancient towering tree trembled. Then, a strong Treant, seven meters tall, with branches resembling antlers on his head and a crown-like flame burning on his crown, detached from the ancient tree.
His burning, flame-like eyes were calm and majestic, containing only pure killing intent.
The ghostly demon to the west was fleeing at full speed, but the ground suddenly cracked, dirt and stones splattering. A large hand made of grayish-white rock broke through the earth, then gripped the ground, pulling a burly Stone Man body from underground.
The eight-meter-tall one-eyed Stone Giant stood silently in place, his blue energy eye flickering eerily.
To the south, the ghostly demon was directly intercepted in the sky. More than a dozen black smoke wolf heads, with blood-red eyes, howled and flew.
As for the north, golden energy particles condensed into a human form.
Ezreal smoothed his hair back with both hands, a brilliant smile on his face as he looked at the ghostly demon flying towards him, his white-glowing eyes full of mockery. "This path is blocked."
