Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2735: 1502: Calm Before the Downpour

“Never mind. We just clashed with ‘Corrosion’ yesterday; there’s no way we’d uncover their scheme that fast.”
“Based on the schedule, the next wave of ‘Corrosion’ assaults is right around the corner. Right now, the top priority is to hand out the Divine Stone Weapons as quickly as possible.”
Inside the temple’s resting area, Leo Ray pondered this point before swiftly facing Old Book and stating, “I believe the City Lord has realized I’m a Chosen Son of God too. During the night, I overheard a divine message by chance, and upon awakening, this came to me.”
At those words, Leo Ray turned over his hand, passing a Storage Ring packed with three hundred Divine Stone Weapons to the other man.
Given that the fellow doubled as the temple’s High Priest, this kind of reasoning proved perfect without a doubt.
In truth, it made total sense for that guiding voice to pull together us valiant folks in a haze and then supply a batch of Divine Stone Weapons, didn’t it?
“Oh?”
Old Book took hold of the Storage Ring amid clear bewilderment, and as he detected the huge stash of Divine Stone Weapons inside, his aged, creased eyes bulged in shock, “Lord Brave, this is… ?!”
With a mental command, Old Book called forth a tidy lineup of Tier 6 Divine Stone Weapons onto the lengthy table in the resting area, instantly bathing the space in a radiant glow.
Seeing this sight, our powerhouses, who knew full well the immense worth of Divine Stone Weapons, all stared wide-eyed, their expressions brimming with astonishment.
Moli stood out in particular, her big eyes nearly bursting forth, leaving her temporarily at a loss for words.
Remember, wielding Divine Stone Weapons lets our powerhouses fend off ‘Corrosion’ without needing the shared strength from a God’s Stone bearer. Even in our territory, it counts as a priceless holy artifact!
“We’ve got a full three hundred in total, matching the count of Divine Stone Weapons held in the Royal Capital!”
Old Book grew so emotional that tears gathered in his eyes, his mouth quivering as he addressed Leo Ray, “Lord Brave, did the Deity grant all these to you?”
“Exactly, He encouraged us to press on and safeguard this city side by side.”
Leo Ray rubbed his nose and answered, “Maybe He noticed our struggles against ‘Corrosion’ the day before, or got stirred by your devoted prayers and bravery.”
“Praise the Deity!”
Old Book dropped to his knees at once and started paying homage to the statue within the resting area.
Once he stood back up, he gazed at Leo Ray, his heart swelling with thrill as he offered a formal bow, “I figure it’s your presence, Lord Brave, that prompted the Deity to show this wonder. Clearly, you’re the one favored by the Deity!”
“But if this fellow’s the Deity’s chosen, why did we get pulled into this mess so strangely?”
Moli clearly wasn’t buying Leo Ray’s story, murmuring, “Plus, you’re the one who prayed so earnestly; wouldn’t the wonder show up right in front of you?”
Still, after mulling it over, Moli soon decided Leo Ray’s explanation held water.
After all, this man had produced such an enormous haul of Divine Stone Weapons. If not a miracle, then how did he manage it? They couldn’t have materialized from nowhere, could they?
With everyone in the room buzzing with excitement, Moli’s quiet grumble escaped Old Book’s notice and amounted to just a small hiccup.
Before long, she shoved her skepticism away for good, because the addition of these Divine Weapons meant our forces were set for a massive boost!
“Fine, have the City Lord pass out the Divine Stone Weapons without delay. I’ve got extras to give straight to the powerhouses in my group.”
Leo Ray offered a small incline of his head to the fired-up Old Book and added, “The fight’s closing in; time’s short for us.”
“Lord Brave speaks true; I’ll handle it right away!”
Old Book bobbed his head vigorously and hurried from the resting area.
What followed needs no recounting: the City Guard swelled with energy and deep thanks once they got their Divine Stone Weapons. Old Book called a dedicated assembly, nearly placing Leo Ray on a pedestal like a god, bordering on outright adoration.
In the midst of it all, Leo Ray handed out the Divine Stone Weapons, assigning one each to Old Nick, Kara, and Calvin.
The remaining ones went to arm all our carried Alchemy Puppets, markedly enhancing our collective strength versus ‘Corrosion.’
Right as we wrapped up the preparations, the ‘Corrosion’ Grand Army rolled in like surging waves, reemerging near the Underground Fortress and swiftly encircling it completely.
In sheer size, it dwarfed yesterday’s assault by far more than a single notch.
One look revealed the underground fortress, buried deep underground already, sinking into a void-like pit, overflowing with floating massive eyeballs, while waves of dread crashed over like raging storms.
Positioned on the Fortress City Wall just like the previous day, Leo Ray sensed the chilling, sharp presence, his gaze alight with holy gleam.
Back on the prior day, this setup would spell serious headaches.
Yet today, over 50 holders of Divine Stone Weapons lined each segment of the Fortress City Wall at key spots, rendering our defense against ‘Corrosion’ leagues beyond yesterday’s.
Even filled with assurance, Leo Ray channeled inner power to quell the terror stirred by the foes, for these enemies truly struck deep fear.
