Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2543 1403: Qunnie Young's Shock
Previously on Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong...
As massive waves slammed into the cabin's ceiling, countless droplets splattered across the floor, forming puddles that signaled the start of a new mutation.
Densely packed figures radiating formidable auras began to manifest rapidly from the pool and the wet ground, encircling Leo Ray and the Young siblings in an instant.
These towering entities, shrouded in water mist, mimicked the shapes of various Demon Beasts, including several formidable Giant Dragons. Their translucent, fluid bodies identified them clearly as a specialized type of Water Element Demon Puppet.
"Prepare for battle!"
Directing his Long Spear toward a dragon-shaped Tier 6 Demon Puppet, Ethan Young signaled his warriors to take their defensive marks before shouting to Leo Ray, "Brother Chen, leave the Demon Puppets at the rear to us!"
"Understood."
At that moment, Leo Ray had already finished scanning the sudden peril surrounding them.
Approximately sixty to seventy of these Water Attribute Demon Puppets had manifested; while the majority were Tier 5, about fifteen were Tier 6. Most operated at a One-star or Two-star level. Their collective combat power seemed roughly equivalent to the strength his group was currently showing, meaning they didn't hold a decisive edge.
Furthermore, a Tier 6 Five Stars like Jess was capable of holding off two or even three Tier 6 One-star adversaries simultaneously.
In other words, Leo Ray believed these Demon Puppets wouldn't be a major threat even if he only utilized his current visible combat power.
However, this was merely the surface situation. He was uncertain if the enemy held hidden reinforcements, if a Lord was pulling the strings, or if this was simply a complex and cunning ancient magic trap.
"Given the circumstances, the presence of a Lord seems more probable, especially since we haven't triggered any of the Great City of Ships' original magic traps until now."
"Still, there is no sign of another Lord yet, so we must remain observant."
As these thoughts occupied Leo Ray, the Water Attribute Demon Puppets launched their multi-directional assault, and his elite subordinates immediately engaged in a fierce struggle.
In a flash, the dark cabin was illuminated by a breathtaking display of colors as cold blade light crossed paths with the brilliant glow of Magic Radiance.
Vast ripples of energy surged outward, causing the pool to churn violently and turning the entire area into a scene of absolute chaos.
Standing at the center of this turmoil, Leo Ray narrowed his eyes, watching the turbulent fight while he continued to evaluate the tactical landscape.
Amidst the flashing swords and knives, he felt no need for excessive worry; his elites had survived countless battles together and their coordination was seamless.
Whether it was Jess, Elder Bing, the Silver Moon Era veterans like Shuert and the other Treant Elders, the Tier 6 Alchemical Golems under Broy and Konet’s command, or the experienced President Yonir—all were seasoned masters of war.
The Young siblings and their subordinates were equally proficient. Their formation was tight and balanced, with physical melee experts holding the front while long-range physical and Magic Type experts provided cover from the rear, all bolstered by the constant buffing spells of a veteran Tier 6 Priest.
Under normal conditions, even powerful Demon Puppets should eventually falter if they relied solely on instinct without coordination. Yet, these enemies were trading blow for blow without losing any ground.
"The teamwork among these Demon Puppets is flawless. This proves a manipulator must be guiding them; they aren't just simple summoned magic traps."
Just as Leo Ray reached this conclusion, a new Water Attribute Magic Puppet with a significant aura materialized from a nearby pool.
It was a Golem Puppet shaped like a massive wolf, its translucent water-colored frame vibrating with heavy energy. Though not quite Tier 6, its strength was sufficient to challenge a Half-step Tier 6 expert.
The moment it took shape, it bared its fangs and lunged straight for Leo Ray.
"Targeting me directly? It seems there really is a hidden hand behind this."
Leo Ray watched the approach with complete composure.
Even though he had deployed his strongest warriors to the perimeter, leaving his immediate side open, Xiao Jing and Little Jie were tucked in his arms, ready to act.
Furthermore, with his current buffs active, the Power of Divine Grace, and a full set of Sixth-order Equipment, he was more than capable of handling a Half-step Tier 6 opponent, despite being at the Peak of Tier Five himself.
"Brother Chen, watch out! You can't handle this enemy!"
Just as Leo Ray was about to strike, a clear, urgent voice filled with power rang out.
With a thunderous boom, a glowing Magic Bomb fell from above, striking the wolf Golem Puppet head-on.
Simultaneously, a slender figure clad in flowing Magic Robes stepped in front of Leo Ray. It was Qunnie Young, clutching her Magic Wand tightly.
