"Oh? Please, Your Excellency, go ahead and speak!"
Leo Ray's dark eyes gleamed with excitement, and he responded without delay.
"However, while this approach works well, it demands the use of a high-purity Barrier Crystal, which costs a fortune!"
The figure in the pink hood deftly rubbed his fingers in Leo Ray's direction before mimicking the toss of a gold coin, adding: "Do you get my point, young human? I'm happy to assist, but that doesn't include supplying the materials out of my own pocket!"
"Don't worry, Your Excellency; I'll cover every expense for your abilities."
Leo Ray grasped the implication right away and offered a wry grin.
To his surprise, this person even knew the gold coin toss trick, a sign he'd roamed these lands for years. In the Outer Region, groups typically bartered with Magic Crystals or gear; such valuables weren't casually flung about.
"From the look of you, you're no pauper. Just don't overlook my fine carpet!"
The pink-hooded figure nodded approvingly and flicked his wrist, summoning a Barrier Crystal as big as the earlier tiny cabin. Shaped like a flawless cube, it gleamed with pristine clarity, etched with intricate and profound Magic Patterns, and its immense scale left Leo Ray stunned.
"Hehe, impressed, right? I swapped it from a birdman ages back for five sixth-order equipment pieces, and sealing the techniques inside took me more than a month!"
Catching Leo Ray's shocked stare, the pink-hooded figure placed hands on hips, radiating smugness.
With that, the pink-hooded figure eyed Leo Ray once more and inquired, "Young human, can you really handle five pieces of sixth-order equipment?"
"Your Excellency, our Lord rules as the Human Clan's Emperor; pulling that off is a breeze for him!"
Xiao Jing planted her hands on her hips too, brimming with arrogance: "Plus, plenty of third-class powers in the Outer Region hold our Lord in high regard!"
"Oh? That's something noteworthy?"
The pink-hooded figure spoke evenly while fixing his gaze on Leo Ray.
"Nothing earth-shattering, but sufficient to honor commitments."
Leo Ray dipped his head to the pink-hooded figure with a grin, saying, "Your Excellency, we're short on time, so let's hear your strategy."
"Very well, I'll take your word for it again. The strategy's straightforward: trigger the spatial disturbance technique locked in the Barrier Crystal to wipe out every magical trap in this place!"
The pink-hooded figure tapped the Barrier Crystal lightly and clarified: "With all the spatial traps neutralized here, your group can just pull back together."
"So, Your Excellency feels certain about clearing out every spatial trap in one go?"
Light dawned on Leo Ray as he nodded and probed deeper.
This was a vital point; despite his urgency, Leo Ray needed to confirm the other's capabilities.
"Yes, these spatial traps pose a real headache for typical spatial specialists, and layering on Demon Evil God's Power makes breaking them far tougher."
The pink-hooded figure nodded sagely, exuding experience. "Yet my space techniques hail from ancient woodlands..."
Sensing he risked revealing too much, the pink-hooded figure shifted gears and stated, "In any case, they're incredibly potent. Stirring up disruption after disruption will make any spatial traps disappear. Naturally, I'll require your Power of Divine Grace to lend support."
"That's fine; the city holds space-folded zones with enormous expanses. Can Your Excellency's spell encompass such a broad reach in a single cast?"
Leo Ray nodded pensively, raising his last concern.
"It falls a bit short, hence why I'm having you handle the Barrier Crystal's depletion."
The pink-hooded figure tilted his hooded chin upward and replied: "Under normal conditions, firing up the Formation inside the Barrier Crystal wouldn't harm it, but to widen the range, we'll push the Formation's strength past what the crystal can withstand. Naturally, it'll shatter from the overload."
"Got it fully; time to start."
Leo Ray first alerted the rest of his followers in the city via Mind Talk, then gave the pink-hooded figure a nod.
Leo Ray's attendants all carried Magic Communications and assorted Communication Scrolls, positioned across the city. A few lingered near their formidable partners, ready to pass along word.
Though the spatial interference hampered magical links within the city, it failed to block them entirely, given that everyone involved ranked as Tier 5 or stronger powerhouses.
"I've waited ages for this chance. Time to give this cursed wasteland a real shake!"
The pink-hooded figure rapidly set up an energy-feeding array in front of Leo Ray, then tapped the Barrier Crystal with a Magic Wand, instantly conjuring a massive grey magic formation in the sky, spanning at least half a castle's width.
As Leo Ray poured in his Power of Divine Grace, the huge grey magic formation's surface not only glowed with golden hues but also swelled swiftly, resembling an enormous clock dial.
Furthermore, more than a thousand grey magic arrays of diverse sizes and forms emerged around the central one, beginning to spin leisurely.
