"Cannibalism… evolution!" Levy's voice trembled slightly, but more than that, it was filled with shock and anger, "It's been completely twisted by darkness! It doesn't even spare its own kind!"
Just as that normal Marsh Frog was about to be completely devoured—
"Croak—!!!" The corrupted Marsh Frog let out a satisfied and violent roar!
It fiercely swallowed the last piece of flesh, and its body swelled again!
Its entire body was pitch black, exuding an even more foul and suffocating aura!
Thick black saliva dripped from the corners of its mouth, falling to the ground and instantly corroding the hard rock into "sizzling," bottomless pits!
A dark pressure, even more terrifying and chaotic than before, spread out!
And right beside this newly devoured, power-surging corrupted Marsh Frog, a silent, mountain-like giant figure stood quietly by the riverbank.
It was the Blue Buff!
But it too had been completely tainted by darkness!
Its originally grayish-white rocky body was now soaked in ink, appearing a dead, pitch black!
The constantly spinning energy vortex on its head was no longer a gentle, ethereal blue, but had become an absolute darkness that devoured all light!
The energy aura it emitted was no longer for recovery and defense enhancement, but instead a heavy, oppressive, despair-inducing force field!
Its single eye, formed of energy, was now just a deep, constantly swirling vortex of darkness, coldly "watching" Lucy and Levy!
"Two of them… and both completely corrupted!" Lucy gasped, instinctively tightening her grip on the golden key ring at her waist.
"Things are bad…" Levy's expression was grim as she quickly flipped through her magic book, "The Marsh Frog's corrosive poison and the Blue Buff's gravity field and Earth Magic… We must be very careful!"
The corrupted Marsh Frog's crimson, violent eyes instantly locked onto Lucy and Levy!
Its huge webbed foot slammed down!
"Croak—!!!"
A terrifying, thick, dark purple, almost black, poisonous mist, like a bursting dam, spewed from its mouth!
The mist instantly spread, carrying a pungent stench and strong mental corrosion and physical disintegration power, like a rolling cloud of death, descending upon Lucy and Levy!
At the same time, the Blue Buff's pitch-black rocky giant foot slowly lifted, then stomped down heavily!
Boom—!!!
An invisible, suffocatingly heavy gravity field instantly descended!
Lucy and Levy felt their bodies suddenly sink, as if burdened by a thousand catties, their movements instantly becoming sluggish!
At the same time, a desperate, oppressive emotion, like a cold tide, surged madly into their hearts, attempting to dismantle their fighting spirit!
"Lucy! Be careful!" Levy shouted, her magic book glowing brightly!
"Open! Gate of horologium! horologium!" Lucy unhesitatingly threw out the silver horologium key!
A huge magic circle instantly unfolded!
A gigantic, ancient-looking golden clock, engraved with time scales, appeared out of thin air!
The clock's hands slowly rotated, emitting soft "tick-tock" sounds!
"Eternal Protection!" Lucy cried out!
Hum—!!!
A semi-transparent barrier, flowing with golden time runes, instantly enveloped Lucy and Levy!
The poisonous mist hit the barrier, making a "sizzling" corrosive sound, but it couldn't break through!
The gravity field and despair aura were also isolated outside the barrier!
"Levy! Now's your chance!" Lucy maintained the magic, her face a little pale.
"Understood!" Levy's eyes were sharp, and her magic book quickly flipped, "Story Manifestation · Nami, the Tidecaller! Reader Integration!"
Top lane of the canyon.
Max's figure appeared on a relatively narrow path with steep rock walls on both sides.
His emerald green pupils vigilantly scanned his surroundings, and the gold sand beneath his feet flowed as if alive, ready to respond to any sudden situation.
Suddenly!
A cold, violent, terrifying aura, carrying an endless desire to devour, like an invisible giant hand, fiercely seized his heart!
The air in front of him violently twisted and churned!
Thick, viscous black smoke, like boiling ink, frantically gathered and expanded!
In the blink of an eye!
A gigantic black wolf, nearly twenty meters long, covered in oily, deep night-like fur, suddenly appeared in the middle of the road!
It was the Evil Wolf!
But at this moment, it had been completely consumed by darkness!
Its crimson eyes were replaced by pure darkness, leaving only two points of burning, destructive crimson light!
The dark wings on its back expanded wildly, with a wingspan of over thirty meters, and the dark red patterns flowing along its edges were like burning demonic blood!
A destructive aura, more violent and chaotic than before, as if from the end of the abyss, pressed down on the air as if it were solid!
It slightly lowered its huge head, its fangs bared, emitting a threatening growl from deep in its throat, and viscous saliva dripped from its sharp fangs, corroding the rocky ground with "sizzling" white smoke!
"Evil Wolf…" Max's pupils constricted, and cold flames ignited in his eyes, "Even you…"
"Roar—!!!" The corrupted Evil Wolf seemed to recognize Max, but there was no warmth of an old acquaintance in its eyes, only naked destructive desire!
It let out a deafening roar, and its massive body transformed into a black lightning bolt that tore through space!
Its speed was far greater than before!
It lunged straight for Max!
At the same time, its eyes, burning with crimson light, suddenly erupted with an eerie red glow!
An invisible shockwave, carrying strong mental pollution and soul erosion, instantly shot towards Max!
Demon Eye activated!
"gold sand Esoterica · Immovable Bulwark!" Max reacted swiftly!
The gold sand beneath his feet instantly boiled and rose!
A gigantic, mountain-heavy shield wall, composed of countless rapidly spinning gold sand, instantly formed in front of him!
The shield wall's surface flowed with a metallic luster, exuding a heavy, mountain-like, majestic aura!
Boom—!!!
The invisible mental impact slammed hard into the gold sand bulwark!
The shield wall violently vibrated, emitting a dull roar!
Max grunted, feeling as if his brain had been struck by a heavy hammer, and a wave of dizziness washed over him!
Although he blocked most of the impact, his spirit was still shaken!
At the same time!
The Evil Wolf's claws had arrived!
With dark blades that tore through space, they fiercely clawed at the gold sand bulwark!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Ear-piercing friction sounds rang out!
The sharp wolf claws scraped dazzling sparks and deep grooves onto the gold sand bulwark!
The thick gold sand was frantically eroded and melted by the dark energy, making "sizzling" sounds!
But the core of the bulwark remained stable!
"Evernight · Shadow Devour!" The Evil Wolf roared, its maw suddenly opening wide!
A swirling dark vortex, whose center seemed to connect to endless nothingness, instantly formed in its mouth!
Terrifying suction erupted!
It was no longer devouring energy, but directly pulling at space!
The ground beneath Max's feet cracked inch by inch, and shattered rocks were swept up by the suction, plunging into the bottomless dark vortex!
