Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2765: 1517: Holding the Line and Dawn_2
Previously on Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong...
A derisive icy chuckle resounded, as the Centaur Parasite cast a look at the three freshly infested Divine Stone Generals, before turning its scornful eyes toward Leo Ray and his two companions who were battling fiercely, jeering, “What’s the point of desperately maintaining a worthless Barrier? It’s all for nothing!”
The Centaur’s remark promptly crushed the momentary optimism that had just sparked among the troops, filling their expressions with deep grief.
Upon reflection, even if they poured every ounce of effort into overcoming the mighty foe before them, what would it achieve? The Centaur spoke true; as moments ticked by, they would confront an ever-growing horde of Parasites!
Moreover, the Extermination Array that Lord Brave had labored to set up failed to even contain the Parasites in this area, let alone the myriad “Corrosions” scattered throughout the city!
“Lord Brave, I understand you’ve given it your all, yet in the end, we’re helpless against the overwhelming odds.”
While Old Book plunged into hopelessness, Leo Ray’s steady and composed tone sounded in everyone’s ears again.
“Who claimed my Magic Array is useless?”
With Leo Ray’s statement landing, a blindingly brilliant massive golden beam of light erupted instantly from the heart of the nearby Extermination Array, soaring toward the ceiling of the subterranean chamber, bathing all in glorious brilliance.
Shortly thereafter, smaller golden beams arose from each of the city’s four directions, acting as pillars of support, which swiftly wove together into a vast and splendid golden dome that merged with the central beam.
In the areas covered by the grand golden dome, eerie cries of torment echoed across the city, and countless Parasites twisted in pain on the ground, their crystals starting to fracture and break apart.
In front of them, numerous City Guard Soldiers lay fallen from the enemy’s wild assaults, some with weapons at their necks, obviously on the verge of defeat. Yet this unexpected turn yanked every City Guard Soldier away from the edge of doom!
Additionally, thick clusters of “Corrosions” burst apart beneath the golden dome, transforming into pools of dark sludge that oozed and seeped into the gaps of the stone-paved streets in the districts.
Within these “Corrosions” were several that had developed large cocoons of various hues, trapping victims inside for infestation; now they ruptured, letting those not yet fully parasitized escape from the sludge, their breaths still weakly heaving, obviously rescued from the jaws of death.
“Curse it! That insignificant pest’s trash Magic Array was merely the Array Eye, designed to link up with additional array nodes!”
The chief Centaur Parasite responded rapidly, its shrill, cutting cry booming across the sky and land, “Hurry and smash that Array Eye!”
With those words, it disregarded its clash with Old Book and wildly pulled back its enormous bow, firing energy arrows at the Extermination Array’s center.
Not just the primary Centaur Parasite, but the remaining nine half-step Seventh-rank Parasites and even the standard Tier 6 Parasites all charged heedlessly at the Extermination Array’s core.
At the Extermination Array’s core, a golden Magic Crystal hovered in the air, glowing intensely, serving as their assault’s focus.
At the same time, Leo Ray and his two allies materialized near the golden Magic Crystal.
As the top Parasite had observed, the Extermination Array Leo Ray had just established wasn’t solely for restraining the Parasites around the Temple; its key role was as a huge Array Eye, linking to other Extermination Arrays throughout the city.
The personnel for setting up those other Extermination Arrays came from the [Divine Stone] possessors serving under Leo Ray.
Moments earlier, Moli hadn’t replied right away since she had dispatched five squads under Sarah Shawn, Elusa, Gideon Black, Serena Clark, and Stella Clark via teleportation to different sections of Observation City to ready the Extermination Arrays, explaining why only Leo Ray, Sheila, and Moli showed up before the Temple.
Shielded by fellow Tier 6 Experts among his subordinates, the five [Divine Stone] bearers and Stone Spirits enjoyed top-tier protection.
In particular, once those dominantly strong half-step Seventh-rank Parasites began showing up, while the danger to Leo Ray and his group spiked dramatically, it substantially eased the burden on his other team members, so Leo Ray clenched his jaw and held the line to grant them more time.
“Since the prior activation of the Extermination Array, my allies have grown far more adept at handling these Magic Arrays, and I picked spots in Observation City packed with Magic Towers. Backed by the Magic Towers and with each [Divine Stone] user equipped with 10 Extermination Array Scrolls, this setup surely boosts the Array’s impact to its peak.”
Leo Ray eyed the savage, warped Parasites barreling toward them and clutched his Longsword firmly.
Though these Extermination Array Scrolls were at Tier 6, from earlier combat trials, Leo Ray had seen that adding more scrolls amplified the suppressive power markedly.
Through layered enhancement, while the Extermination Array wouldn’t hit Tier 7 strength, it could still manage to hold back half-step Seventh-rank Parasites!
Thus, if they guarded the Array Eye site and fully linked the other Extermination Arrays to this one, unleashing the Array’s full potential would suffice to swing the outcome toward triumph for the war-ravaged city and its defenders!
“This must be Lord Brave’s real strategy; he never surrendered and kept fighting for one final chance at salvation for our doomed city, for all of us!”
Old Book swiftly grasped Leo Ray’s plan, clenching his teeth in a emotional shout, “Everyone, help Lord Brave safeguard the Array Eye!”
Upon saying that, Old Book and Curry spearheaded the effort, dashing toward the Array Eye’s position.
However, right then, Leo Ray and his group confronted eight advancing half-step Seventh-rank Parasites plus two Centaur Parasites providing rear support.
“Too late now; nobody can stop us from wrecking the Array Eye!”
Capitalizing on the Extermination Array not yet fully linked, the head Centaur Parasite and the other Centaur Parasite unleashed a barrage of energy arrows with fury!
Beyond the storm of energy arrows, massive bolts from Amanda’s crossbow and blazing, tempestuous spells from three more Parasites surged toward Leo Ray and his allies like a flood.
In a flash, the thick volley of arrows and the surging Magic Radiance dominated the heavens, making the nearby Space crumble and fracture once more, exposing the shadowy depths of the Void Space, an awe-inspiring sight.
“Fine by me; I’ll widen that Spatial Rift a touch more!”
Moli had no time for anything else, seizing her Magic Wand with force and swinging it hard, which tore open a Spatial Rift resembling a colossal void mouth that quickly expanded, drawing in every arrow and Magic strike into the Void Space.
Yet, given the intensity of the foes’ barrage hammering the Spatial Rift’s boundary, though Moli managed to intercept it, she couldn’t avoid coughing up blood, which splashed vivid red across the front of her pink hooded cape, obviously enduring a harsh Magic rebound.
It wasn’t unexpected; blocking strikes from five formidable adversaries alone, even at her best, Moli wouldn’t risk it, especially now with her Mana nearly exhausted?
While Moli concentrated on repelling the far-off Parasites’ onslaughts, five close-range Parasites barreled at Leo Ray with unstoppable momentum.
Leo Ray displayed no trace of dread as he shielded the radiant Array Eye at his back.
“Brat, now’s the moment for you to get ripped apart with that junk Array Eye!”
The foremost Fishman Parasite’s gore-covered halberd flashed with icy gleam, as the other four Parasites trailed right behind, all lunging at Leo Ray together.
