Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2544 1403: Qunnie Young's Shock (Part 2)

The massive wolf, which had been charging at maximum velocity, slowed down abruptly after taking a direct hit from Qunnie Young. Wisps of dark smoke drifted from its frame, yet the creature remained undefeated.

"Brother Chen, step back, I'll handle this!"

With a look of firm resolve, Qunnie Young raised her magic wand as it pulsed with a violet glow. She declared, "You saved our lives before, now it's my turn to repay you!"

"Uh, this..."

Leo Ray could only offer a helpless smile at her words. Without saying anything more, he retreated a step.

It was common knowledge that Tier 5 peak experts were generally no match for half-step Tier 6 opponents and could be slain in a single strike; thus, Qunnie Young’s concern was logical.

Because she was eager to return the favor, he decided to let her showcase her skills. It also provided him a chance to closely study the combat methods of a Talent Lord possessing a combat-oriented talent.

As Leo Ray moved behind her, Qunnie Young’s aura exploded with intensity, and she began to recite an incantation.

Complex and jagged ancient syllables filled the air. Even without a breeze, Qunnie Young’s hair and magic robes began to flutter violently, creating a truly grand and imposing sight.

Not far off, the magical giant wolf had lost some of its momentum, but it was not about to let her finish gathering her power. With a wild howl, it lunged forward once more, its murderous intent saturating the atmosphere.

In a mere heartbeat, the beast’s massive form was nearly upon her. Its razor-sharp fangs glinted with a terrifying, cold light.

"Rapid Thunder Burst!"

At the decisive moment, Qunnie Young snapped her starry eyes open. Her magic wand pointed straight into the creature's wide-open maw.

Bang!

A blinding bolt of lightning erupted from the wand's tip, striking the target with perfect precision once again.

Through the crackle of electricity, the magical wolf was sent flying as acrid black smoke billowed from its body.

Nevertheless, despite the heavy fall, the beast still clung to its existence.

"Her power and presence are quite impressive, and the spell construction was clever. However, the speed of her casting and the raw output are a bit lacking."

Leo Ray gave a slight nod of appraisal, his gaze shifting to the magic wand held in her slender hand.

It was a common Tier 5 wooden wand. Scars and burn marks covered its surface, showing it was in a state of severe decay—nearly at the point of breaking.

This was hardly surprising. In the Human Domain, a Tier 5 blacksmith was a rare genius seen only once every few centuries. A Tier 5 magic craftsman was even rarer, making the repair of such a weapon nearly impossible.

As the proverb goes, a great general requires a sharp blade. With her current level of Cultivation, using such a damaged tool heavily restricted her potential; her struggle was to be expected.

In the middle of the chaotic fray, the magical wolf scrambled back to its feet and lunged at Qunnie Young again.

"A wolf born of mere magic dares to be so prideful!"

After a short chant, Qunnie Young summoned a Thunder Attribute Magic Giant Dragon from her wand. The strike finally disintegrated the wolf, scattering it back into the ambient energy of the atmosphere.

"Brother Chen, are you hurt?"

Qunnie Young exhaled deeply and wiped the perspiration from her pale forehead as the threat vanished.

"I am fine, thank you for your efforts."

Leo Ray nodded, his voice carrying a hint of genuine praise.

Defeating a peer-level foe with only three magical strikes was a noteworthy achievement.

Beyond the high destructive power of the thunder attribute and its natural advantage over water, Qunnie Young’s personal combat instincts were clearly superior.

In summary, this Talent Lord with a combat-type talent possessed skills that could rival those of veteran experts.

"Do not fear, Brother Chen. As long as I stand here, you will remain safe!"

Unaware of Leo Ray’s relaxed state, Qunnie Young remained on high alert, scanning the area with vigilance.

All around them, the battle against the golem puppets had reached its peak, with violent clashes occurring in every direction.

Hardly had she finished her sentence when another half-step Tier 6 golem giant wolf materialized. It immediately launched a savage attack toward the pair.

"That trick failed once; do you really think it will work now?"

Sensing a hidden intelligence behind the summons, Qunnie Young snorted with disdain. "Try as many times as you like; I won't let you harm him!"

However, as she focused entirely on the enemy in front of her, she failed to notice a second wolf of the same rank forming in the shadows behind her. It crept forward silently, staying low to the ground as it prepared for a lethal ambush.

"Double Lightning Burst!"

The moment Qunnie Young finished her spell to repel the first wolf, the hidden predator lunged from the darkness with bared fangs, its powerful legs propelling it forward.

"What? No!"

It happened too fast. By the time she noticed the shadow attacker, her mana was spent and she was out of position to react.

In a moment of pure desperation, her first thought was for Leo Ray. She cried out urgently, "Run! There are two of them—"

But to her utter shock, Leo Ray was already holding a glowing magic wand. A massive pillar of thunder, carrying an overwhelming pressure, descended violently from the heavens.

Bang!

With a deafening roar, the ambushing wolf was vaporized into nothingness.

The display didn't end there. Leo Ray flicked his wand again, sending a fierce magical explosion directly onto the head of the first wolf she had just pushed back, shattering it into fragments.

"Brother Chen... you can use magic as well?"

Qunnie Young watched as he effortlessly ended the threat. Caught between the terror of death and the relief of survival, her mind was a whirlwind of confusion and awe.

Since he always carried a longsword, she had assumed he was a physical-type Tier 5 peak expert. Even though he had rescued her and Ethan Young previously, she hadn't credited him with such overwhelming personal power.

She had stepped forward to protect him to repay her debt and ensure his safety.

She never imagined that he was a dual-threat—not just a swordsman, but an incredibly potent mage!

She hadn't been able to kill the wolf in one hit, yet Leo Ray had ended the crisis with a single, decisive motion using the same thunder attribute she specialized in. It was staggering.

The rare thunder attribute had always been her greatest source of pride, yet he had surpassed her with zero effort.

Qunnie Young felt her entire understanding of the world being upended.

This young Lord, who she thought was merely a Tier 5 peak expert, possessed a level of power that far exceeded her own.

"It is nothing significant; just a few simple tricks."

Looking at her wide, bewildered eyes, Leo Ray gave a faint, calm smile.

A flush of embarrassment colored Qunnie Young’s face at his words.

Putting everything else aside, she had intended to save him, but instead, she had failed to protect herself and required his help for a second time. The irony was mortifying.

In her state of emotional turmoil, she realized this young Lord was far more profound and mysterious than she could have guessed. It made sense now why so many Tier 6 experts followed him; he was no ordinary person.

"Come, now isn't the time to be distracted. We must focus on the fight."

With his sword and wand held ready, Leo Ray’s eyes shone with a sharp, spirited light.

In the dark corners of the battlefield, unnoticed by his group, several pairs of cold, sinister eyes belonging to foreign Lords watched their every move.
