Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2697: 1482: Confrontation and Clash
As Sina and Loris traded looks, their minds churned with chaos, appearing utterly bewildered.
Ever since they encountered the Human Sovereign, he had pulled them out of one disaster after another, that's for sure.
Right now, the Human Sovereign had stationed his elite forces with them; they were supposed to guard them properly, but instead, this unexpected disaster struck.
Staring at those shriveled massive trees, how on earth could they justify this to the Human Sovereign?
With that in mind, the pair felt a wave of guilt wash over them, shaking their heads in despair.
“Two leaders, since the devil’s temptation halted so abruptly, it probably signals that the Sovereign is now clashing with the enemy.”
Grey Elder, fully aware that the devil couldn’t split its focus, pressed on with haste, “Even though the elites are worn out now, we can’t afford any breaks.”
“That makes sense, but why didn’t the Human Sovereign link up with us first before charging straight into the heart of Giant City?”
Loris gathered his wits, a hint of suspicion flickering across his leonine features.
“Rainforest leader, we can’t waste time pondering this anymore.”
Sina, setting aside old grudges with the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, nodded decisively, “Let’s hurry and support the Human Sovereign!”
“Exactly, and don’t leave us behind!”
A handful of Broken Valley Alliance commanders advanced, geared up for the fight.
Right away, after hastily organizing their formation, the entire group surged forward into the core of Giant City.
Only moments earlier, in the shadowy depths of Bone Hall, Leo Ray and his companions confronted the demon, unfolding a completely different spectacle.
When the colossal shadow unveiled its twelve crimson eyes, Leo Ray and the others sensed an crushing burden on their frames, as if a massive peak was bearing down, nearly forcing them to their knees.
The tremendous force from overhead acted like an unseen dark claw gripping their throats, making every breath a struggle.
Those aligned scarlet eyes on the shadow sent shivers through their spines, nothing like any beast they’d ever witnessed, radiating an eerie, warped aura beyond words.
“Just a demigod, yet you dare call yourself a god—how utterly ridiculous!”
The figure in the pink hood clenched their jaw, unleashing a torrent of fierce aura to push back against the enemy’s overwhelming might once more.
However, on this occasion, the shadow zeroed in on the pink-hooded figure, all its rows of massive bloodshot eyes locking onto them in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, the figure absorbed a devastating blow, their sturdy Energy Barrier shattering completely, pinning them in place while the surrounding space warped clearly from Spatial Confinement.
Witnessing that, Frank and old Gary both shivered with fear, understanding that the pink-hooded one was their mightiest half-step Tier 7 fighter, on the verge of demigod status, and even they couldn’t endure a single strike. Against an enemy like this, how were they supposed to fight?
In the midst of the team’s stunned reactions, a soothing yet unyielding energy erupted from Leo Ray, beginning to resist the foe’s pressure in the air above.
Right away, relief washed over the group, and even the pink-hooded figure grasped the moment to escape the restraint, restoring their mobility.
It went without saying; this was the Power of Divine Grace, a key weapon in Leo Ray’s arsenal against this threat.
From the explanations by Elder Bing and Sina as God’s Chosen, Leo Ray knew this force similarly repelled demons, much like Holy Power opposed Forbidden Power.
At first, from earlier discussions, Leo Ray intended to deploy the Divine Grace for an ambush, but the situation left no choice now.
“Hmm?”
The shadow’s eyes shifted, zeroing in on Leo Ray, its deep tone laced with astonishment, “A puny human insect, but you command such potent Divine Grace, even cleaner than most God’s Chosen from before.”
At that moment, the shadow’s tone sharpened, declaring icily, “But what does it matter? In the past, I’ve slain hordes of God’s Chosen!”
With those words, the shadow’s lines of scarlet pupils narrowed, and a barrage of dark eroding orbs plummeted from the heights, hurtling straight at Leo Ray!
“Human boy, share your strength with me!”
The pink-hooded figure shouted toward Leo Ray, who was ready and promptly extended Divine Grace to envelop the whole group.
Empowered by Leo Ray’s Divine Grace, the pink-hooded figure’s aura skyrocketed, their magic wand tracing intricate patterns in the air to erect a see-through spatial shield, detonating the charging black corrosive orbs against it without harm.
“So this is what you’re banking on? Pathetic and amusing.”
The shadow’s gaze shifted, appraising Leo Ray and the pink-hooded figure briefly, then it uttered darkly, “Now, feel the true might!”
As the shadow finished speaking, a bizarre energy wave rippled out, pulsing wildly across the skies and earth, densifying the atmosphere and igniting a profound dread in their souls.
Leo Ray recognized this odd force intimately from his battle with Malevolent Deity’s Chosen Son; it was clearly the Evil God’s Favor, the counterpart to Divine Grace.
However, the shadow’s version of Evil God’s Favor overwhelmed all, dwarfing what Malevolent Deity’s Chosen Son possessed.
Beneath its sway, Leo Ray noticed his circulating Divine Grace getting stifled, its pace visibly dropping.
In theory, Divine Grace ought to hold the edge, but the enemy’s sheer dominance erased that upper hand.
With Evil God’s Favor rampaging unchecked, before the group could respond, innumerable slender vine roots burst forth from the gloom, shooting in every direction at them!
The enveloping darkness, combined with the foe’s aura scrambling the aerial energy currents, kept the team oblivious until the roots were nearly upon them.
Yet at this close range, evasion was out of the question; they could only stare as the deadly onslaught closed in to devour them.
