Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2655: 1461: A Twist in the Journey
Previously on Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong...
On the fringes of the chaotic battlefield, amid swirling magical lights and flashing blades, Leo Ray narrowed his eyes at the sight of the witch demon vice leader commanding his horde of witch demons and mighty undead to seal off the path ahead.
The strength of that witch demon vice leader matched or even surpassed the crown skeleton from before, with multiple Tier 6 witch demons flanking him, while swarms of Tier 6 undead crammed the whole entrance shut.
Moreover, as I'd tested earlier, teleportation scrolls were useless in this zone, making any attempt to skirt around the enemy's blockade utterly out of the question.
“Do I have to fight my way through?”
Clenching his jaw, Leo Ray pressed on without pause, charging straight for the passage entrance.
With the crisis already spiraling out of control, any further delay would only doom them more.
“Your Majesty, I am here to help you!”
Frank's aged but resolute voice echoed as he dodged the trap set by over a dozen witch demons, barreling toward the vice leader from another angle.
All the while, power flared around Frank, conjuring hundreds of bone spears that hurtled toward the foe.
“That old thing is weird, get rid of him first for me!”
The witch demon vice leader, having witnessed Frank's feats earlier, snarled coldly, unleashing waves of corrosive spells and arrows that crashed toward Frank like a tidal wave.
“Thank you, old sir!”
Catching the gap as the enemy evaded the bone spears and hurled spells, Leo Ray struck at just the right instant. As his blade cleaved through an undead's arm bone, he shattered the blockade, crossed into the passage's mouth, and vanished swiftly into its shadowy depths.
“That damn pest!”
Watching Leo Ray slip past the line, the witch demon vice leader exploded in rage, a sly spark igniting in his eerie red eye sockets.
In the end, only the Human Race's Emperor had slipped away alone—what chaos could one man cause? Once these other pests were smashed, hunting down the Human Emperor later would be simple enough!
With that in mind, the witch demon vice leader ignored the lone Leo Ray, turning his fury back on Frank with wild assaults, bellowing wildly: “Pests, your Emperor of the Human Race has already run away, aren’t you all going to stick your neck out for slaughter?”
The witch demon vice leader's roar hit hard, shaking the spirits of our trapped powerhouses right away.
Yet those who'd stuck with Leo Ray through thick and thin, like the Dwarf Elves and Treants, stood firm without a flicker.
They all knew deep down that whatever the Human Majesty's play was, it had purpose—they just had to stand their ground!
Still, the bulk of the Desert Alliance and Rainforest Fortress Alliance warriors showed clear dismay, their fighting spirit plummeting fast.
Even though Leo Ray had just rescued their leaders, earning deep thanks, this was their debut battling beside him—who could swear this young Human Emperor wouldn't bolt when it got toughest?
In those faltering ranks, only Lannis's Catman Clan warriors held unyielding resolve; the esteemed Human Majesty had gone all out to save their Lord Leader—why would he quit now?
“Warriors of the Desert Alliance, Your Majesty of the Humans will never leave us!”
Sina's bold and fiery call rang out, urging, “Hold the line, grind these opponents into dust, the Desert Alliance is invincible!”
“Little ones, the soldiers of His Majesty of the Humans are all here, where could he have gone?”
Loris bellowed amid his frantic clashes, “Get your spirits up, anyone who dares to shrink back here, once we return victorious, I won’t spare you!”
Sina and Loris's rallying cries steadied our powerhouses' resolve a bit, letting them unleash their skills once more and clash fiercely with the enemy horde.
For a moment, despite the underground chamber's immense scale that dwarfed every fighter, the raging energy storms tore across the air and ground alike.
The roars of battle and thunderous booms from energy clashes drowned out everything, shaking the whole space without end.
Deep in the dim, winding tunnel, the fading echoes of combat grew fainter, hardening Leo Ray's grave look.
By now, not just the witch demon's reinforcements, but the beast itself was so overwhelming—flipping the fight's tide would be no simple feat.
“Little Jie, is the other party’s aura still there?”
Steel resolve rising, Leo Ray steadied his thoughts and questioned once more.
“My Lord, it’s getting closer and closer!”
Little Jie, now in her tiny elf shape like Little Illusion, hugged Leo Ray's shoulder tight and replied, “The other party is also heading towards us, right at the bend ahead!”
As Little Jie's answer landed, Leo Ray rounded the tunnel's turn and stepped into a fresh area.
This turned out to be an old hall, centered on a dried-up tiny fountain ringed by ruined, empty flower beds that screamed neglect.
“My Lord, the other side is right there!”
Little Jie jabbed a finger past the fountain and added.
Guided by Little Jie's point, Leo Ray spotted a pair of upright white ears poking up from that spot, fuzzy-coated ones that evoked cat ears but leaned a touch toward fox ears too.
