Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2674: 1470: Questions and Helpers
Previously on Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong...
Under the intense stare concealed beneath the hood, Leo Ray's thoughts swirled with a barrage of inquiries once more, all while he stayed cautiously alert toward the stranger, starting to reflect deeply.
Based on the present circumstances, there's absolutely no hint linking this individual to the liches or the shadowy figure pulling their strings.
The sole resemblance between them lies in their remarkable command over spatial forces.
This profound and mysterious might surpasses even Jasper Richardson, who's on the cusp of promotion, and outstrips the team's top Spatial Great Magic Instructor, Ellie, by far.
Yet, as Xiao Jing meticulously inspected earlier, the spatial barrier cast by this figure starkly contrasts with the spatial energy wielded by that puppet master beyond, solidifying that they're distinct spellcasters.
Thus, the puzzle persists, echoing my earlier musings: why does this individual dwell within this spatial rift? Why even tend to a patch of farmland here?
This clearly suggests they've inhabited this place for quite some time.
Moreover, what exactly is this person's background? Might they assist in escaping this trap? Could they even turn into an ally?
As confusion gripped Leo Ray, the thrilled murmur from the pink-hooded form echoed once more: “Human boy, there's a unique energy on you—precisely what I require!”
“What are you planning? Don't you dare plot against the Lord!”
At these abrupt declarations, Xiao Jing and Little Jie's expressions turned icy, their weapons snapping toward the unknown figure on pure instinct.
“Hmph? Just two Tier 6 Stone Spirits—in my domain, such beings are hardly uncommon.”
The pink-hooded figure's tone shifted to something darker, chillingly remarking: “Are you really trying to challenge the odds?”
Immediately, a tremendous spatial ripple surged from the pink-hooded figure, and Leo Ray suddenly sensed himself locked in invisible chains, frozen in place, with his inner energy flow almost grinding to a halt.
Little Jie and Xiao Jing faced the same predicament, straining desperately but achieving nothing.
In that instant, the pink-hooded figure, barely reaching Leo Ray's chest in stature, loomed like an immense fortress, bearing down oppressively on Leo Ray and his companions—and this was only the raw aura released, not a single spell invoked.
“Your Excellency, they're simply worried for my safety, with no ill will intended.”
Sensing the overwhelming force crashing from every angle, Leo Ray first sent a mental message to the two Stone Spirits to drop their aggression, then forced a subtle grin, stating: “If Your Excellency truly meant us harm, you'd have struck sooner—why let us even utter a word?”
“Clever one, aren't you.”
The pink-hooded figure let out a soft huff, and the binding pressure on Leo Ray and the others vanished.
With relief washing over him, Leo Ray kept his mild smile, pressing on: “As I said earlier, we stumbled into this place accidentally. If Your Excellency isn't aligned with the liches, maybe we could forge an alliance.”
“I noticed before—you were clashing with the liches, weren't you?”
The pink-hooded figure folded their arms, giving a small nod, and added: “That's why I made sure to encounter you. Otherwise, had those liches forced their way in, I'd have obliterated them ages ago.”
“So, the liches are Your Excellency's foes as well?”
A wave of elation rose in Leo Ray's chest, prompting him to inquire swiftly.
“Foes? We're beyond that—I'm in eternal conflict with them!”
The pink-hooded figure's voice grew noticeably angrier, teeth gnashing as they spat: “It's all because of them and the demon orchestrating from the shadows that I've been confined here for decades!”
“Oh?”
Leo Ray and the two Stone Spirits displayed a flicker of astonishment.
No surprise this figure makes their home in the spatial crevice and even farms a plot—turns out they're imprisoned here.
Even better, they've outright exposed the demon as the true culprit we suspected, validating our theory without a doubt.
“But that's the past—now, escape might finally be within reach!”
The pink-hooded figure stepped closer to Leo Ray, their tone brimming with uncontainable excitement: “Human boy, ever since you accidentally breached this spatial tear, I've been watching closely. The recent test only confirmed it further: you wield the Power of Divine Grace, the very special power I crave!”
“This figure can even detect the Power of Divine Grace?”
Upon hearing this, Leo Ray and the two Stone Spirits exchanged glances anew, conveying their shock via mental link.
It's worth noting that to date, no powerhouse from the Outer Regions—not even Loris or Sina—could properly differentiate the Power of Divine Grace from standard energy flows. Even after sharing it widely, nobody spots the distinction.
After all, this force was exclusive to the Chosen Sons of God in the pre-Blankness Era, shrouded in enigma back then, and now, with gods absent and Chosen Sons extinct, it's even more obscure. How on earth did this person perceive it?
