Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2762: 1516: Sudden Changes
Previously on Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong...
“Weak insects, your pointless resistance concludes now. Prepare to be trampled beneath our hooves!”
A centaur parasite, its face twisted in scorn and arrogance, rapidly coordinated with the incoming parasites to form an enclosing formation.
Gazing upon those hideous, distorted half-crystal visages, whether it was Old Book, Curry, or the quivering guards, a wave of icy dread surged through their hearts.
Excluding Leo Ray, Old Book, and the other four half-step Tier 7 powerhouses, even with the assembled guards, they scarcely amounted to half a legion's strength, and though all surpassed Tier 4, they could hardly manage more than fifty Tier 6 foes.
Moreover, the enemy's imposing array undoubtedly surpassed their ability to counter.
“City Lord, what's our next move?”
Curry gripped his Divine Stone Longbow tightly, a trace of hopelessness lacing his tone.
From the intense clash earlier, his left shoulder plate lay in ruins, exposing a gruesome wound, clearly inflicted by an Energy Arrow, with his reformed Energy Barrier flickering unstably. Without the Tier 6 Healing Magic Potion and Healing Scroll, he might not have managed to restore the barrier at all.
“As I said before, we won't yield an inch!”
Old Book responded without pause, his Magic Wand radiating Holy Light as myriad warm golden motes rained down from above, swiftly restoring color to the soldiers' ashen features.
As he spoke, Old Book cast a quick look toward Leo Ray beside him.
While the elderly City Lord's expression brimmed with unyielding resolve, Leo Ray, the valiant fighter, remained his ultimate reliance.
“Sheila, apply ‘Lord’s Blessing’ and ‘Lord’s Blessing’, focus on bolstering me fully, and attempt to enhance all those here.”
Following relentless combats and the influx of Void Space energy, despite awareness of Sheila's near-exhausted reserves post-Power Activation, Leo Ray issued the order resolutely, holding nothing back.
Leo Ray knew full well that this moment decided triumph or ruin.
Having braved immense efforts to return to this place, his goal was to deliver a pivotal shift and optimism to the devastated city!
“Understood, Lord!”
Sheila unleashed her formidable presence, a gentle yet firm energy enveloping everyone, from Old Book and the other powerhouses to the city guards, who all felt invigorated instantly, their weapons and armor shining with renewed luster.
Empowered by Sheila's ability, the once-discouraged troops seized their arms anew, and the previously disorganized ranks began to realign with precision.
“You dare persist in defiance? Perish!”
The foremost centaur parasite offered no respite, and as soon as the surround tightened, it directed a horde of parasites in a sky-obscuring assault on Leo Ray and Old Book!
In a flash, the parasites under six half-step Tier 7 leaders unleashed a torrent of murderous aura, altering the heavens and earth, their force utterly overwhelming.
Ultimately, one half-step Tier 7 powerhouse equaled five Tier 3 legions in might, making it clear that despite the foes' modest count, their dread presence dwarfed the allies' vast numbers, sufficient to trap them securely.
“Assemble, hold the line!”
The front-line commander's strained shout had barely faded when a barrage of explosive crashes erupted, with Leo Ray and four allied half-step Tier 7 powerhouses already clashing directly against the enemy's top six.
“Insolent vermin, courting doom!”
A half-step Tier 7 fishman parasite, spear in hand and teeth bared in a growl, unleashed a vicious Water Spear from its gills after Leo Ray parried the spear, lunging savagely at him.
“Child's play!”
As Leo Ray countered in battle, Sheila moved with lightning speed, conjuring a massive Elemental Bullet that collided head-on with the freshly launched Water Spear.
Another deafening explosion followed, water spraying everywhere, as yet another parasite charged from the flank with unstoppable force, its bloodied Longsword thrusting toward Leo Ray's visage.
This was a Divine Stone Longsword, its gem extracted, suggesting its original owner was surely a freshly possessed Divine Stone General.
Though the attack came with blinding velocity, Leo Ray, amplified by multiple buffs, Thunder Flash Illusion Body, and various Thunder Attribute Magics, matched the pace effortlessly, deflecting the fatal blow.
At that instant, the two Divine Stone Longswords locked in a tense standoff mid-air, one aglow with brilliance while the other had faded long ago.
Leo Ray regarded the pallid face, more withered than Old Book's, with a swirl of emotions.
This white-bearded, infested Divine Stone General was Peter, the longest-serving Human Clan leader in Observation City, who had fought in innumerable Ten Thousand Clans and ‘Corrosion’ conflicts, earning boundless honors and aiding the Ten Thousand Clans immensely, only to fall victim to parasitization in the end.
Yet, lamenting was not for now; Leo Ray had no leisure for further reflection as his Longsword flared with violet Magic Radiance, momentarily repelling the adversary.
