Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2558: 1411: An Increasingly Intense Situation
Amidst a battlefield where tumultuous energy storms howled, Leo Ray narrowed his eyes at the Grey-armored Lord. The enemy had successfully bypassed the defensive perimeter established by the Giant Golem Puppets, causing Leo Ray to scowl in frustration.
He observed as the adversary and his elite followers turned into ethereal shadows, effortlessly drifting through the supposedly impenetrable wall of Giant Golem Puppets.
Only moments prior, this individual had relied on an Absolute Defense Barrier, simply absorbing the relentless strikes from the Golem Puppets.
“It appears that the initial Absolute Defense Barrier was merely a feint; this phase-shifting is his true trump card. He must possess a technique akin to the Blood Clan’s mist form, yet far superior. While the Blood Clan is limited to traversing spatial rifts alone, this man can bring his subordinates along for the ride.”
“Crucially, this isn't a standard teleportation; it’s a fluid movement technique he can utilize at will.”
Leo Ray’s expression darkened as he rapidly deconstructed the opponent’s strategy.
He noted that while Xiao Jing’s Concealing Technique was powerful enough to shroud an entire metropolis, it lacked the ability to navigate through spatial rifts. This made the enemy's current method exceptionally troublesome.
If the foe could travel through spatial rifts, the physical blockade formed by the Golem Puppets in real space became practically meaningless.
Witnessing this development, Leo Ray—standing at the heart of the chaos—wasn't the only one worried. At the entrance of the passage, the Young family siblings watched with bated breath, their anxiety reaching a breaking point.
If the opponent managed to pull this off, their defeat was certain.
“If you think you can snatch the treasure from right under my nose, you’re sorely mistaken.”
“That golden light cluster exists within real space. As long as I prevent that man from manifesting back into this reality, we still have a chance.”
With that thought, Leo Ray produced a stack of Tier 6 area-of-effect Magic Scrolls. He began a rapid-fire activation, targeting the altar where the golden light cluster sat and where the Grey-armored Lord was hovering.
Guided by Leo Ray’s sharp spiritual power, the triggered Magic Scrolls released brilliant streaks of energy. Like a volley of Magic Missiles, they zipped through the openings in the Giant Golem Puppets' line, detonating around the golden treasure.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Blinding magical flares erupted in quick succession. These earth-shaking Magic Explosions tore across the altar, causing the golden light cluster to flicker violently, resembling a lone lantern struggling against a hurricane.
Under normal circumstances, Leo Ray might have feared damaging the artifact, but he no longer had the luxury of caution.
“That cursed brat! He’d rather destroy everything than let me claim the prize!”
Trapped within the spatial rift, the Grey-armored Lord hovered inches away from the golden cluster. However, the relentless magical bombardment in real space prevented him from re-emerging, forcing him to shout curses in fury.
“So, it actually worked?”
Seeing the Grey-armored Lord’s frustrated glare, Leo Ray raised an eyebrow while continuing to ignite more Magic Scrolls.
The enemy’s inability to return to real space was twofold. First, the moment he materialized, he would be shredded by the magical barrage.
Second, the sheer frequency of Tier 6 spells caused massive spatial disturbances, rendering the local environment extremely unstable.
In such a chaotic state, tearing a hole from the spatial rift back into real space became a monumental task.
Consequently, even if the Grey-armored Lord possessed a trump card to survive Tier 6 magic for a short duration, he remained unable to bridge the gap between dimensions, leaving him stranded in the rift.
“It’s a good thing I consulted Jasper Richardson so thoroughly. Combined with the insights from Louise, Catherine, and Teresa—who are all familiar with spatial cracks—I wasn't caught off guard by this move.”
While maintaining the magical pressure, Leo Ray shifted his attention back to the Giant Golem Puppets.
Despite the ferocious Magic Radiance detonating on the altar, the nearby Golem Puppets remained largely unharmed. The shockwaves only caused their massive frames to wobble slightly within the surging energy, creating temporary gaps in their formation.
“Most Tier 6 experts would be terrified by such intense energy fluctuations, yet these Giant Golem Puppets are barely scratched. Their defensive capabilities are truly monstrous. I definitely don't have the time to dismantle them one by one.”
The heavy thud of the Golems' fists continued to echo from above. Watching the defense line crack intermittently, Leo Ray’s eyes sharpened. “The plan is simple now: we maintain our formation and punch a hole straight through them.”
Deciding on his course of action, Leo Ray made a sharp cutting motion with his hand, signaling his subordinates to strike.
Upon receiving the order, his powerful allies unleashed their full strength, turning into streaks of light. Protected by the Absolute Defense Barrier, they lunged toward the widening gaps between the Golem Puppets.
In an instant, they reached the threshold between two of the massive constructs.
The Golems reacted to the attempted breakthrough, shifting their weight inward in an attempt to seal the breach.
“Don't stop for anything! Just charge through!”
