Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2559: 1411: The Intensifying Situation (Part 2)

With Leo Ray’s commanding roar, the collective power of our squad intensified instantly. Supporting members like Little Jie, Fanny, and Crisis, who were maintaining the defensive perimeter, saturated the barrier with mana, causing its shimmering walls to glow with a dense, concentrated light.

In the following breath, our group forced a breakthrough, moving with such momentum that even the lightning-fast reactions of the two massive golems couldn't halt us.

As we surged forward, violent surges of energy erupted between our barrier and the golems' limbs. The impact was so severe that the two mountain-sized giants began to wobble, appearing as though they might collapse at any moment.

Simultaneously, because Leo Ray had ceased his bombardment of magic scrolls, the Grey Armor Lord finally found the opening he needed to emerge from the void, manifesting directly in front of the golden orb.

Greed twisted his grim features as he reached for the prize. However, a towering figure wreathed in violet radiance arrived at that exact moment—it was undoubtedly Leo Ray.

Closing in on the golden orb, Leo Ray refused to let his rival claim victory. His blade flashed with a frigid, blinding light as he unleashed a rapid succession of over ten slashes at his opponent.

“You’ve stood in my way for the last time, brat; today, your life ends here!”

The Grey Armor Lord’s expression turned murderous as he saw Leo Ray obstructing him once again. His heart burned with a dark, lethal intent.

Brandishing a long-handled axe, he parried Leo Ray’s initial strikes before his aura exploded in a surge of power, fueling a devastating Half Moon Slash.

“Nothing but a cheap trick.”

Leo Ray met the counterattack head-on. His longsword, pulsing with purple light, traced intricate patterns in the air, neutralizing the lethal strike with ease.

Leo Ray had intentionally avoided using an Absolute Defense scroll or staying within the main barrier. He knew that a personal barrier would isolate him from the outside world, preventing him from touching the golden orb just as effectively as it blocked enemy blows.

To claim the treasure, he had to remain exposed.

Moments later, Leo Ray triggered several Tier 6 Magic Scrolls, directing their destructive power toward the Grey Armor Lord and his nearby subordinates.

Stunned by Leo Ray’s overwhelming burst of strength and facing the golems' massive fists from behind, the Grey Armor Lord hissed a curse. Driven by survival, he was forced to retreat once more into a spatial rift.

While our Absolute Defense Barrier absorbed the blows intended for us, the Grey Armor Lord’s disappearance meant the golems shifted their full fury toward our remaining allies, putting immense pressure on our defenses.

Seizing the fleeting window of opportunity, Leo Ray focused his mind and lunged toward the golden orb.

If he could just grasp it, the battle would reach its conclusion.

“Boy, don't you dare ignore me!”

Just as Leo Ray’s fingertips were inches from the golden orb, a figure radiating a crushing aura plummeted from above, swinging a heavy weapon in a downward cleave.

Boom!

Energy collided with a thunderous roar. Leo Ray was forced to abandon his reach for the orb, pivoting to deliver a backhand strike. He realized his attacker was the Brown Armor Lord, who had returned despite his previous failure.

Though he looked haggard—clutching a battered shield with his energy shield flickering on the verge of collapse—his bloodshot eyes remained fixed on the orb with insane determination.

As Leo Ray engaged the enemy, Xiao Jing’s lithe form appeared out of nowhere. Following Leo Ray’s silent command, she reached for the golden orb.

However, despite her fingers closing around it, the orb acted like a phantom of light, slipping through her grasp as if she weren't there.

“According to the ‘prompting voice’ rules, it seems only a Lord can truly claim it.”

Realizing the limitation, Leo Ray ignored the weakened Brown Armor Lord, leaving him to be suppressed by Xiao Jing while he turned his full attention back to the orb.

“Brat, did you really think I was out of options?!”

Seeing himself dismissed, the Brown Armor Lord let out a chilling laugh as a strange ripple of energy radiated from his body.

As the ripple expanded, everyone—Leo Ray, Xiao Jing, our allies, and even the Grey Armor Lord who had just rematerialized—found their movements dragging. It was as if they were submerged in thick syrup, reduced to slow motion. Only the mindless golems remained unaffected, continuing their brutal assault.

“Hahaha! This is the core of my talent: a specialized confinement field that slows everyone to a crawl!”

The Brown Armor Lord’s face twisted into a mask of triumph as he drifted toward the orb. “Once I have the treasure, I’ll leave you all here to rot!”

In that moment, Leo Ray noticed a crucial detail.

This confinement wasn't the work of one man. At nearly every entrance to the chamber, subordinates bearing the Brown Armor Lord’s insignia were acting as anchors, channeling their power to maintain the massive barrier above.

It was a carefully prepared trap, set long before the final confrontation.

However, the Brown Armor Lord’s pale face betrayed the strain. Managing such a vast field against so many powerful experts was pushing him to his breaking point.

Leo Ray knew that if even one of those anchors at the entrances were removed, the entire structure would fail.

“Nobody touches Master Liam Sanders!”

Suddenly, a sharp, cold cry echoed through the hall. The enemies maintaining the spell at our entrance were suddenly buried under a torrential storm of lightning.

The voice belonged to Qunnie Young.

Following her lead, Ethan Young and a contingent of elite warriors fell upon the distracted enemies, crushing them instantly.

“The hidden trump card finally paid off.”

Leo Ray gave a slight nod of approval.

He had instructed the Young siblings to remain hidden in the shadows earlier. This not only kept them safe but provided him with a secret reserve for exactly this kind of crisis.

With the anchors at our entrance destroyed, the sound of shattering glass filled the air as the confinement barrier collapsed. The Brown Armor Lord, mere inches from the orb, sprayed a mouthful of blood as the magical backlash hit him like a physical blow.

Instantly, Leo Ray and his team regained their speed, refocusing on the incoming golem strikes and the golden prize.

The Brown Armor Lord didn't even live long enough for Xiao Jing to finish him; the severity of the backlash killed him where he stood, and his body slumped to the floor.

“A man who didn't know his own limits.”

Watching the corpse fall, Leo Ray steadied his breathing and flew toward the golden orb once again.

“Kid, you’ve been a massive help.”

Suddenly, the Grey Armor Lord—now free from the slowing field—gave a wicked grin. He made his move, but his target wasn't the orb.

It was Leo Ray.

Through their previous clashes, the Grey Armor Lord had realized that even with Tier 6 power, defeating Leo Ray and his endless supply of hidden items was too difficult in a straight fight.

His new plan was simpler: drag the black-haired Lord into a spatial fissure where his own subordinates were waiting to swarm him.

“Now, die!”

With a ghostly shout, the space in front of Leo Ray began to warp violently, and a powerful suction force began to pull him into the dark void.
