Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2711 1489: Cheers in the Depths of the Great Hall (Part 2)

"Tch, in the end, it's just an oversized spider monster after all."

A cold snort escaped from the figure in the pink hood, who was ready to press the assault alongside our comrades, yet the events that unfolded right after caught everyone off guard.

"Hahaha, hahahahaha!"

A wicked and manic cackle boomed across the skies as the demon staggered to its feet, unleashing another burst of laughter.

All at once, thick black mist enveloped our area, and the eerie noise of the energy shield eroding returned with intensity.

"It's that same fatal black mist poison array from earlier in the Giant City, but way more potent this time!"

Frank emitted a stifled grunt, his features contorted in agony while he fought to stay upright, his protective barrier shattering swiftly, draining the color from his face until it was ghostly white.

Within moments, Frank wasn't alone—Old Gary, Little Jie, and Xiao Jing suffered the identical torment. Just Leo Ray, Sheila, and the pink-hooded individual managed to cling on with great difficulty.

Still, Leo Ray sensed plainly how each movement through this abrupt deadly black mist felt like wading through quicksand, hardly shielding himself, much less launching any strikes.

"This can't be; normally, a setup like this demands immense forbidden energy woven with anguish and torment. Not even the outer miasma black fog could serve as kindling—how on earth did this fiend pull it off?"

The pink-hooded person gnawed at their lower lip, their ashen features etched with utter incredulity.

"Master, look!"

Following the direction of Sheila's pointing finger, the group at last beheld the stark reality.

The demon's eight massive limbs dissolved into swirling black mist, while its eerie and bone-chilling guffaw reverberated overhead: "A bunch of ants, even if I die, I will take you with me!"

"So that's the way this vicious beast sacrificed itself to summon these poisonous vapors."

As the deranged chuckles rang out, the pink-hooded figure's pallor deepened further, their striking power utterly gone and mobility reduced to a crawl. Turning toward Leo Ray, they uttered, "Human boy, what do we do now?"

"This setup wasn't whipped up on the spot by them—they merely triggered it."

Leo Ray gave a nod to the others before speaking, "If I'm right, the core of this array mirrors the previous one, probably placed beyond the grand hall. With the array now ignited, heading out there ought to reveal some hints, don't you think?"

He went on, "Plus, this demon's full of hubris, so it likely skipped any sly traps at the core. Provided we pack sufficient might, breaking through should be feasible."

"Yet despite that, we're all stuck inside at the moment; how exactly do we dismantle the array from beyond?"

Anxiety gripped the pink-hooded person as they eyed the Stone Spirits near Leo Ray, each one debilitated much like the rest and immobilized amid the dense toxic black haze.

"Remember, we're not fighting solo here—they'll join the fray as well."

Confidence shone in Leo Ray's expression as he nodded toward the pink-hooded figure.

True to his words, scarcely had Leo Ray spoken when explosive energy blasts from outside the hall thundered relentlessly, whipping up gusts and summoning swirling clouds within.

Right then, the demon's twisted and savage visage unleashed a shrill howl, as though its tail were crushed, and the poisonous black mist swiftly faded away.

"Your Majesty of the Humans, we're here!"

Swift silhouettes radiating immense power dashed through the hall's doorway, spearheaded by Loris and Sina, backed by a contingent of our followers.

"Human boy, you foresaw every bit of this!"

Witnessing the arrival, relief washed over the pink-hooded person, their expression alight with thrill.

The rest of those gathered exhaled deeply too, hastening to link up with our arriving forces.

Soon after, upon spotting the colossal and horrifying demon teetering on collapse, the newcomers directed gazes of reverence and respect our way.

Nobody could have foreseen that Your Majesty of the Humans, relying on merely a handful of powerful companions, would corner a genuine Seventh Stage demon to such a brink!

"Sorry, Your Majesty, we got thrown off track earlier, which held us up quite a bit."

Despite the astonishment, Loris appeared sheepish while addressing Leo Ray, "We owe it to your actions that we made it here to aid you."

"That's right, just prior to stepping into the hall, we shattered a concealed array core, figuring it might assist Your Majesty!"

Sina affirmed with a vigorous nod directed at Leo Ray.

Furthermore, as the Desert Leader detected Leo Ray's aura now eclipsing hers, a gleam lit her stunning eyes, sending an enigmatic glance his direction.

"Ladies and gentlemen, chit-chat can wait; time to wrap this up for good."

Leo Ray's keen gaze fixed ahead as he aimed his longsword at the demon still rallying its remaining vigor. At this juncture, numerous Tier 6 powerhouses from our side had encircled the foe.

"Orders from Your Majesty will be followed!"

Without pause, the pair of commanders directed the elite warriors into the clash, all under Leo Ray's guidance.

On this occasion, bolstered by countless Tier 6 powerhouses, the dazzling assault proved unstoppable, and though the demon thrashed and fumed wildly, it succumbed amid its profanities, toppling heavily before disintegrating into dust beneath our unrelenting barrage.

In a flash, triumphant shouts filled the whole chamber.

After navigating countless perils and snares, guided by Your Majesty's command, our side secured triumph in this fierce encounter. We not only eradicated the demon ringleader but seized every last witch demon too!

Concerning the stray witch demons still haunting the city's outskirts, the Broken Valley Alliance's commanders had quelled them ages ago, rendering them harmless.

Especially the Broken Valley Alliance's warriors, under Old Gary's lead, with his frame shaking beyond control, clearly swamped by intense feelings.

Across endless years, despite their altered shapes, they had at long last settled their deep-seated vendetta!

"Long live Your Majesty of the Humans! Long live Your Majesty of the Humans!"

With the unending roars of acclaim ringing in his ears, Leo Ray lifted his hand just a touch, gesturing for silence among the assembly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our presence here today stems directly from the dedication and bravery shown by every soul among you. Amidst such perils, your unyielding advance merits the highest acclaim."

Leo Ray's words resounded throughout the hall; then, seizing Old Gary's bony grip, he drew the deeply moved veteran forward for all to see, pressing on, "In particular, the warriors of the Broken Valley Alliance—your deeds and valor shall endure in memory forever!"

Once Leo Ray concluded, the hall buzzed anew, though now the accolades poured freely onto the Broken Valley Alliance's fighters, stirring Old Gary and his kin to even greater fervor.

In truth, their appearance echoed Dead Spirits closely, but our allies harbored no bias, gripping their skeletal limbs with firm resolve.

Surveying the jubilant throng nearby, a subtle shadow crossed Leo Ray's eyes.

Moments earlier, he'd uncovered Shuert and the others' grim outcome, and in his haste toward the demon, severing the vital link proved impossible—the conclusion was plain.

"The Treant guardians stood by me until the end, and I won't abandon them to eternal slumber as trees, least of all Shuert, whose service warrants recognition."

Leo Ray balled his hand into a fist, mulling over Shuert's earlier remarks from the treant woods.

Should the woodland's vitality rebound, they might yet bud and rouse once more.

"That's it; perhaps aid is within reach!"

Leo Ray's gaze sparked with hope, clearly struck by a fresh idea.
