Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2680 1473: Urgency and Astonishment (Part 2)
Previously on Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong...
Upon the abrupt arrival of Leo Ray and his group, Old Gary and Yu Yu, stationed outside the city too, rushed forward to question what had happened.
Since the outset, these two, engaged in brutal clashes against additional witch demons beyond the city limits, had sharply detected the death mist billowing upward from the enormous city, stirring profound alarm and pressing haste in their minds.
After all, the primary culprit lurked within the depths of that massive city, and nobody could predict what other cruel and brutal tactics the foes might unleash.
"The situation is like this."
Leo Ray brushed the perspiration from his brow and succinctly outlined the events.
"So without swiftly locating and obliterating the black fog array eye, the powerhouses trapped inside the city face total annihilation in no time?"
Old Gary's tone grew intensely fretful as he added, "Yet this region stretches so far, and the energy feels utterly disordered—how can we pinpoint the array eye's exact spot?"
The moment Old Gary wrapped up his words, Frank shook his head in resignation at Leo Ray and stated, "I apologize, Your Majesty, but no signs of the foe's array eye appear anywhere nearby."
"True enough, everything seems ordinary."
The figure in the pink hood nodded in helpless accord, shaking their head as well.
"That's fine, we'll search elsewhere."
Though worry gnawed at him, Leo Ray fought to compose himself and gave a nod to the pair.
Right as the team prepared to soar away, Yu Yu caught on to an idea, her eyes sparkling like stars, and she declared, "Human Majesty, the array eye hides in the Underground City!"
"Yu Yu, do you have certainty?"
Leo Ray's gaze brightened too as the words tumbled from his lips.
"Upon my awakening, I sensed a concealed energy pulse from that spot; reflecting on it, that has to be the array eye!"
Yu Yu displayed total assurance, bobbing her head firmly.
"Lord, with Yu Yu's Holy power and her sharp attunement to necromancy, she can't err!"
Little Jie's words echoed via mental link.
"Back to the Underground City we go!"
At this revelation, Leo Ray guided the rest into the air once more.
Retracing their earlier route, the party plunged down the tunnel swiftly until they reentered the subterranean chamber of the prior skirmish.
After probing around, Frank's senses sharpened, and he directed Leo Ray and the others deeper into the Underground City's bowels.
At last, they halted at the terminus of a weathered hallway, facing merely an old wall that marked what looked like a complete impasse.
In the recollections of Old Gary and Yu Yu, it truly served as a dead end back then, with no opportunity for further excavation.
"A mere twist in spatial alignment won't halt our progress!"
The pink-hooded individual scoffed disdainfully, gave their magic wand a casual wave, and the ambient space warped dramatically. The aged wall dissolved promptly, unveiling a sprawling shadowy void before the group.
This expanse rivaled the size of the earlier chamber, and at its heart floated a gigantic crimson orb enveloped in dark haze.
It pulsed and twisted without cease, while ebony magical runes sprawled across the floor, extending clear to the boundaries, nearly saturating the whole area in a staggering display.
"Shatter into fragments for me!"
The pink-hooded one swung the magic wand, and spatial forces pulverized the crimson orb right away, splattering its remnants everywhere as a repulsive odor struck them fiercely.
Yet once calm returned, the mass reformed rapidly, showing it hadn't sustained a lethal blow.
With the pink-hooded figure poised to unleash full might against it, Frank's pressing call cut in: "That's not the formation's heart—just a lure. The true center lies over there!"
Tracing Frank's gesture, their eyes fell on a modest cluster of crimson magical moss tucked in an overlooked nook, merging seamlessly with the varied magical moss nearby, barely noticeable without close inspection.
At Frank's words, the pink-hooded one brandished the wand anew, space churned violently, and the magical moss plus the full wall crumbled to dust in an instant.
Just when the team neared a relieved exhale, fresh crimson magical moss sprouted from every side, some embedded far within the shattered wall, propagating outward still.
"Then I'll demolish this whole void!"
As the pink-hooded individual geared up for another total assault, Leo Ray held them back.
"Your Excellency, the matter may prove more complex—forcing its removal could merely broaden the array eye's reach."
Leo Ray gave a faint headshake, urging the pink-hooded one to hold steady.
With that, fresh beads of sweat trickled down Leo Ray's face. Locating the array eye hadn't simplified things at all.
And without question, the comrades enduring deadly corrosion could scarcely endure much more.
"His Majesty speaks true; this reveals the array eye's dread power."
Frank continued the exchange, affirming with a strong nod: "Kindly permit this elder to attempt it."
Gaining Leo Ray's approval, Frank advanced, unleashing his unique ability to nullify necromantic forces in a sudden wave.
On this occasion, the encroaching magical moss halted its advance, though a dense shadow abruptly cloaked its surface.
In an instant, the crimson magical moss bore sinister dark etchings, growing ever more sinister, as Frank's complexion drained, evidently rebounding from the array eye's counterforce.
"Your Majesty, grant this old one your strength!"
Frank clenched his jaw, his aged frame quivering, as he inclined his head toward Leo Ray.
"As planned."
Leo Ray rested a hand on Frank's shoulder, channeling the complete might of the Power of Divine Grace.
Infused with the Power of Divine Grace, Frank's presence surged, driving back the ominous dark etchings on the crimson magical moss with haste.
As the shadows withdrew, the crimson magical moss melted away like wax under flame, evaporating into nothingness shortly after. In due course, the ebony magical array on the walls and the crimson orb faded too, restoring peace to the shadowy expanse.
"Young human, victory is ours!"
Witnessing this, the pink-hooded figure leaped in thrilled delight, while Yu Yu and the rest brimmed with uplifting expressions.
"With the foe's toxic array dismantled, we head back now."
Leo Ray acknowledged the group with a nod, and they dashed away swiftly again.
As the chaos outside the city had largely settled, the Grand Army of the Broken Valley Alliance clashing evenly with the witch demon's undead horde in a temporary deadlock, Old Gary and Yu Yu trailed Leo Ray without delay this round.
All grasped the stakes clearly: eliminating the chief schemer buried in the giant city's core would render the remaining witch demons harmless—the outcome rested on this pivotal move!
In swift pursuit of their goal, upon reentering the Forest White Giant City's interior, they confirmed the corrosive death mist had truly cleared.
Soon enough, as the exhilarated party reached their former departure point, astonishment widened every eye.
The space stood barren now, littered solely with fragmented bones and rusted, ruined gear scattered thickly about, hailing from various groups.
"This is...?!"
Confronted by this view, not just Leo Ray but the pink-hooded figure, Frank, Old Gary, and Yu Yu all cried out in shock.
The scene screamed one harsh truth—they had arrived a beat too slow, the deadly black forbidden mist having already ravaged their allied bastion.
Amid the group's stunned silence, a foreboding voice thundered from the city's profound depths: "You lingering pests, your fangs are blunted to dust, and ignorance shall exact a fatal toll from you all!"
