Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2669 1467: A Thorn-Filled Path Forward (Part 2)

When the voice reached his ears, the crimson light in the Witch Demon Leader's eye sockets intensified, and he cried out in ecstatic joy, "Got it, I'll head back to the master's domain right away!"

With those words, the Witch Demon Leader guided the surviving witch demons in a rapid dash, vanishing swiftly into the heart of the Forest White Giant City.

Rustling sounds.

Right as the witch demons pulled away, the fractured Absolute Defense Barrier crumbled apart, breaking into myriad enchanted shards that hovered in the air before fading into the thick black mist.

"We've done it!"

Below the massive city walls, as the Human Clan's forces watched the enemy's Absolute Defense Barrier fall, waves of triumphant shouts and exhilaration swept through their ranks.

Guided by Loris, the attacking commanders stood ready to climb, with enchanted bridges successfully stretching across to the top of the white giant city.

But right when Leo Ray ordered his commanders forward, the sealed skeletal city gate creaked open gradually.

Then, a squad of Broken Valley Alliance experts stepped out from behind the gate, swiftly joining up with the experts from our side.

"Human Majesty, the witch demons who were stationed within the walls have pulled back deep into the city, leaving the gate clear and open."

Following a brief discussion, a sturdy commander from the Broken Valley Alliance placed a fist over his heart in salute to Leo Ray and announced, "Strength to the commanders."

Leo Ray gave a nod to the commander before addressing Loris, Sina, and the rest, "With the path clear ahead, let's move out."

Once he finished, Leo Ray spearheaded the front line into the city at top speed, with Loris, Sina, and the others trailing right behind without delay.

At that instant, while all knew the Witch Demon's move probably hid deeper motives, pushing on was unavoidable; thorns might line the way forward, but marching ahead remained the sole option.

In a flash, Leo Ray surged past the city gate, led by the Broken Valley Alliance experts.

Yet, the moment Leo Ray crossed into the city's bounds, shock flashed across his features, a reaction echoed by Loris, Sina, and the followers, their eyes bulging wide.

The view inside the city clearly surpassed all expectations.

No thick black fog lingered, as though some unseen divide kept the city's core apart from the outer haze, granting an astonishingly sharp visibility.

In one sweep, the area brimmed with jammed skeletal bones and scarlet streams, plus various odd white structures, all under a somber, oppressive vibe that evoked the depths of hell.

This wasn't the biggest shock; what truly stunned Leo Ray and his group was the boundless expanse despite the open sightlines, featuring a towering black mist column piercing the heavens, far beyond the outer glimpse.

Even the walls they'd just passed loomed higher and stretched farther, nothing like the external view.

To sum up, the outside perspective of the city mismatched the inner truth entirely, as if they'd stepped into a whole new realm.

"Are we in a Barrier Area?"

Loris's lion-like eyes stretched wide as his brow creased deeply.

"No, it's not a Barrier Area; this has to be Space Folding."

Sina thought it over briefly and gave a considering nod, "The foes probably folded the inner space and built the outer walls around it; that's why the inside dwarfs the outside appearance."

"It's not just bigger; it's dozens of times vaster."

Old Susan's expression brimmed with confusion as he muttered, "But what's the point of the enemy doing that?"

Right after Old Susan spoke, a sharp cry burst from our side flank.

The group jolted and turned toward the noise, spotting a cluster of severed body parts floating in the air, mostly horse limbs, creating a gruesome spectacle.

"Leader, Human Majesty, it's a Magic Trap!"

Clattering hooves rang out as Thomas rode up with a grim look and warned solemnly, "My team tried scouting ahead and got torn apart like this!"

"Hold back from any rash actions!"

Leo Ray raised his hand, his forehead wrinkling sharply.

Prior to passing the gate, we'd thoroughly checked the nearby zone for magic traps and detected none.

Yet now, in what seemed secure ground, a trap triggered, sending a shiver of dread through the spine.

"Human Majesty, this isn't your typical magic trap; it's a spatial one, which standard scans can't pick up."

Sina creased her brow too and explained to Leo Ray, "Looks like the witch demons' withdrawal activated all the spatial traps in here."

"Is the huge size because of all these spatial traps packed in?"

Old Susan, suddenly seeing the light, burst out.

As Old Susan wrapped up, realization dawned across our camp's members.

Expanding the zone by several dozen folds naturally ramps up the challenge of reaching the enemy's heart by the same measure!

"Assemble every space series elite right here; they're probably our only shot at dismantling these spatial traps."

Leo Ray issued the order without pause.

Moments after Leo Ray's directive, five Tier 6 space experts and more than fifty Tier 5 space experts lined up before him, counting in the Broken Valley Alliance members.

Our assembly looked formidable, but space series experts were incredibly scarce, pooling all our resources; Jasper Richardson, by Leo Ray's side, was currently leveling up and couldn't join.

"Human Majesty, we've checked it thoroughly; this is definitely a space series magic trap, and it's highly sophisticated."

A youthful water elf expert, bearing a resemblance to Old Susan, advanced and briefed Leo Ray, "Setting up such a complex space magic trap and vast folding requires Demigod Level power."

Leo Ray had earlier discovered this young water elf expert was Old Susan's sibling named Ellie, serving as the Grand Elder of the water elf clan, boasting Sixth Rank Four Stars strength.

Ellie's statement sparked another ripple of unrest among the gathered experts.

This meant a Seventh Stage or higher powerhouse truly existed nearby, a terrifying force that backed the Human Majesty's hunch of demons hiding in the area.

"Elder Ellie, can these magic traps be sensed by anyone?"

Leo Ray steadied himself and pressed further.

"I can't manage it alone, but if we all combine efforts, we could give it a go."

Ellie considered it for a second and nodded at Leo Ray.

"Clear, then take the lead, Elder. The enemy's traps show they doubt a straight-up win against us."

Leo Ray inclined his head faintly and boosted the group's spirits at the same time.

"As you wish, Human Majesty."

Ellie acknowledged with a nod before directing the other space series experts to begin.

Soon enough, as a pulse of space series energy rippled out, the nearby scene shifted dramatically.

All at once, distortions warped the space in multiple spots, revealing sharp, blade-like transparent edges crammed throughout, even overhead, resembling unseen chasms with gaping maws ready to devour.

Facing this spine-tingling display, the onlookers drew in sharp, cold breaths; without precautions, heavy casualties would have struck.

Luckily, wide intervals separated most traps, creating ample room for a safe passage.

"Time's short; onward we go."

Having mapped a secure path, just as Leo Ray opened his mouth to urge them, an unexpected twist struck suddenly.
