Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2702: 1485: Sheila
In the shadowy depths of the foreboding grand hall, Leo Ray clutched his longsword firmly, his expression abruptly dawning with comprehension.
The peril from moments ago had been intensely perilous. Though he hadn't paid attention to that abrupt voice at first, thinking back now, right as that voice emerged, Little Jie's Absolute Defense Barrier had truly burst into a brilliant glow.
Furthermore, an odd but recognizable energy fluctuation pulsed from his arms. Odd since he'd never felt this fluctuation previously, recognizable since its core matched exactly that of Little Jie and Xiao Jing.
At this point, the truth stood obvious. The voice's origin was probably the [Stone of God] he'd acquired from Reece, which had remained dormant all along!
"It seems Your Excellency has realized."
The unknown feminine voice rang out once more, laced with a touch of indolence and resignation: "I didn't expect to confront a demigod-level demon right after waking up. If only I'd lingered in sleep a while more."
"Thank you for your help just now, Your Excellency. This isn't the moment for jests."
Leo Ray crouched low, vigilantly tracking the demon's actions, as he swiftly conversed with the presence mentally: "What precisely did you accomplish earlier, Your Excellency?"
"You mean her Absolute Defense Barrier..."
Before the freshly roused Stone Spirit could complete its sentence, the demon's icy, bone-chilling bellow reverberated right over Leo Ray's position.
"Human ant, regardless of your tricks, I will smash you all into oblivion!"
With the demon's words ending, this round, its lethal pincers materialized straight out of nothingness, chopping downward savagely with no apparent motion!
"To employ spatial pull in its assaults!"
Spotting this, the hooded figure's starry gaze expanded in shock, exclaiming: "Be careful, young human!"
Elder Gary, Frank, and the rest showed clear strain. The demon's assault was already alarmingly swift, and with space being tugged to strike instantly, there was zero chance for response!
True to form, despite Leo Ray's preparations to evade, the spatial assault arrived far too abruptly. Luckily, Little Jie erected the Absolute Defense Barrier anew, its wall gleaming intensely.
Boom! Boom!
The demon's pincers collided with the radiantly glowing Barrier Wall in near unison, forcing the Defensive Barrier to break apart, yet that was the extent of it. The barrier had effectively halted the blow.
"Scatter!"
Meanwhile, Leo Ray refused to remain passive under assault; he withdrew swiftly while yelling to the group.
Leo Ray knew full well that the pressing matter at hand was to swiftly uncover how the recently awakened Stone Spirit had empowered Little Jie's Absolute Defense Barrier to endure the foe's strikes; this might prove crucial for the battles ahead!
"The answer is straightforward, it's because I bolstered her Absolute Defense Barrier!"
The newly awakened Stone Spirit, facing the dire circumstances, wasted no time. Its reply swiftly echoed in Leo Ray's ears, or rather, straight into his thoughts.
Right after the Stone Spirit's statement trailed off, prior to Leo Ray's chance to reply, the demon—its face contorted in grotesque fury, its eight spindly legs whipping up a tempest—charged after Leo Ray once more with its space-rending assault!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Alongside waves of powerful energy blasts, Little Jie, in her elf guise while channeling spells from Leo Ray's embrace, watched her Absolute Defense Barrier just manage to rise before crumbling once more, this pattern repeating multiple times, leaving her complexion ashen and drained.
Witnessing this, thick drops of perspiration reformed on Leo Ray's brow.
With the Stone Spirit's boost, Little Jie's Absolute Defense Barrier gained considerable fortitude, sufficient to repel a single foe's hit. However, should this persist, her endurance would soon falter.
"Don't hesitate, Your Excellency! With your possession of the Power of Divine Grace, provide support!"
The roused Stone Spirit clearly recognized the peril, pressing urgently: "While I can reinforce her, she requires your strength even more!"
"But I've already imparted the Power of Divine Grace!"
Sensing the demon's overwhelming pressure, Leo Ray clenched his jaw, attempting to evade as puzzlement spread across his features.
"It's not simple imparting, but a unique conversion reserved for [Stone of God] possessors and Stone Spirits!"
The Stone Spirit's tone quickened with urgency, addressing Little Jie: "And you, fellow kin, hurry and ready the Silver Moon Power and Power of the Stars!"
"What are the Silver Moon Power and Power of the Stars?"
Upon catching these unfamiliar phrases, Little Jie fought to maintain her stance, her ashen visage brimming with confusion.
Not only Little Jie; Leo Ray detected a surge of bewilderment from Xiao Jing, ever-present in his hold.
Naturally, Leo Ray himself was clueless about the significance of these novel concepts.
"It appears Your Excellency and the Stone Spirits haven't delved into the profound aspects of Divine Revelation and thus fail to grasp these. Detailing them can't be done in brief!"
A trace of frustration tinged the Stone Spirit's voice, before it declared firmly: "If I'm felled alongside you once more, heaven knows when my next awakening will come! Very well, as the prior owner has perished, I'll accept you as my fresh master!"
