Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2746: 1507: Unforeseeable Attack (Part 2)

Imagine yourself in Chris's shoes—what spot would you choose? Grasping that point lets you easily figure out where Chris might be headed.

"Hold on, once I made sure I was safe, my immediate thought was to track down Chris and the rest, so in the same way, Chris and her companions must be doing everything possible to link up with me!"

This realization hit Leo Ray, causing his dark eyes to light up as clarity washed over him.

Thus, pinpointing Chris's position became obvious; they'd surely search for him close to the section of the wall he had protected earlier!

With all the pieces in place, Leo Ray wasted no time in explaining his conclusions to the nearby powerhouses.

"Young human, you're truly brilliant!"

Moli exclaimed with enthusiasm, "Spot on—they have to be right there!"

The rest of the powerhouses, including Broy, gave nods of approval, obviously backing Leo Ray's reasoning.

"No, Chris and the team are facing peril!"

Just as excitement built among the group, Leo Ray gripped Moli's arm tightly and urged, "Hurry and transport us over now; if we delay, it'll be disastrous."

…

"Chris, do you think the Lord is truly staying by that initial city wall?"

Within a shadowy, cramped lane on the outskirts of the fortress's living quarters, the hefty Bruno sidled through and posed the question to Chris.

Nearby, a handful of Tier 6 powerhouses who had split off from Leo Ray stood vigilant, their faces etched with strain.

"The Lord is bound to be there!"

Chris affirmed with a solid nod in response.

Earlier, as Chris and her allies rushed up to the wall, they encountered not the expected flood of "Corrosion" but a fierce assault from every angle by armored city guards and parasites.

The strike came without warning, leaving Chris and the others unprepared. Luckily, she possessed the vital safeguard Leo Ray had provided, swiftly deploying an Absolute Defense Barrier to fend off the initial onslaught and prevent any harm in that moment.

Yet the Absolute Defense Barrier could only hold for a short time before it crumbled under pressure, prompting Chris to use a Teleportation Scroll that whisked the surprised team to a secluded area amid the city's structures, just evading the disaster.

At first glance, given the enemy's meticulously prepared lethal ambush and disruptive tactics, Chris wouldn't have gotten away without harm even with those tools.

But recently, Leo Ray had handed over fresh lifelines to Chris, enabling her squad to slip away from certain doom.

Among these fresh lifelines were multiple Seventh Stage Magical Scrolls at demigod level, such as the Absolute Defense Barrier and Teleport Scroll she had employed right away.

These Seventh Stage Scrolls came straight from Leo Ray enhancing his stockpile via the ancient Book, representing the initial set of such high-level scrolls he acquired.

Still, the drawn-out conflict between this realm's mighty beings and "Corrosion" had depleted Tier 6 Scrolls heavily, and with vast regions badly tainted, resources grew rare, so Leo Ray only managed to secure around ten spare Tier 6 Scrolls.

After reaching a brief haven, Chris and Fanny, still shaken, pieced together that the fortress had been overrun by foes, spotting numerous Tier 6 and even Half-step Seventh-rank Parasites inside, and with no way to reach Leo Ray, they chose to conceal themselves temporarily in the core housing zone.

It was only after the nearby parasite sentries thinned out that Chris and her group stealthily shifted to the fringe of the housing, targeting a spot adjacent to the wall where Leo Ray had first bolstered defenses, hoping to connect with him.

"Chris has it correct—the Lord will absolutely be holding position for us there!"

Fanny agreed with a firm bob of her head, "Since the Lord can predict what we're thinking!"

Upon saying that, a determined look settled on Fanny's pale features.

Though the Lord had noticed something off with the Divine Stone General at the outset, who could foresee the whole fortress already under "Corrosion's" grip?

Reflecting on it, though, how exactly did "Corrosion" seize this well-fortified stronghold without a sound? It's beyond comprehension.

As doubts swirled in Fanny's mind, a quick-moving shape dropped from the sky—it was the scout returning, the troll Vice Leader Cassie.

"Chris, Fanny, all the parasite patrol squads in the area have pulled back!"

Cassie's azure visage held gravity as he inclined his head toward the two primary Fairy Clan powerhouses.

"Perfect chance—press on to the goal and aim to join the Lord without delay!"

Chris and Fanny shared a look, spotting resolve in each other's gaze, then surged ahead resolutely.

The remaining powerhouses trailed after them, blurring into phantoms as they raced toward the wall.

Moving at full speed, Chris's crew quickly exited the fortress's housing district, passed lines of military quarters, and drew near the imposing walls of the stronghold.

In that instant, a faint, recognizable call rang out from the drill field next to the quarters.

"What is that…?"

The unexpected noise halted Chris and the others, shock rippling through them.

That feeble call felt achingly familiar; it belonged to Leo Ray!

"This is bad—the Lord's in dire straits!"

Understanding dawned, and Chris and her allies skipped further deliberation, veering sharply toward the voice's origin.

Soon enough, in the wide expanse of the drill field, they spotted Leo Ray, clinging to life.

Around Leo Ray, blood stained the ground in splatters; Grey Elder, Moli, Broy, and various broken Alchemy Puppets lay scattered, devoid of vitality.

Leo Ray himself, his features masked in blood, dragged himself along in agony, tracing a vivid crimson path, clearly suffering severe wounds.

"Lord!"

Seeing this sight, Chris and Fanny, eyes brimming with tears, rushed over heedlessly, clutching Healing Scrolls and Magic Potions.

But as the desperate Chris and her companions neared Leo Ray, his gore-smeared face contorted into a wicked smirk.

Out of nowhere, the apparently frail "Leo Ray" exploded into action, a massive Giant Axe materializing in his hand as he swung ferociously at the leading Chris and Fanny.

The assault struck without prelude, leaving Chris and Fanny frozen, forced to watch the colossal axe blade—bigger than their petite forms—hurtling at them, whipping up a deadly wind.

Boom!

A deafening burst of energy collision rang out, with the Absolute Defense Barrier springing up automatically around Chris and Fanny, scarcely halting the blow.

As Leo Ray's base grew stronger, he distributed several crisis lifelines beyond Tier 6 gear to his key followers, set to activate in dire need.

This spared Chris and Fanny from the fatal strike.

"You—you're not the Lord! The Lord doesn't wield a Giant Axe, and he wouldn't flash a grin that horrifying!"

In the cold shock of their narrow escape, a wide-eyed Chris demanded while falling back with Fanny, "Who exactly are you?"

The foe posing as "Leo Ray" offered no reply, his expression twisting further as the Giant Axe carved a razor-sharp path of death, striking even swifter now!

Furthermore, the bodies of "Grey Elder," "Moli," "Broy," and the like, presumed dead, copied the action, surging forward with lethal blows from every side against their unprepared comrades.
