Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2792 1531: The Duel at the Banquet (Part 2)
Previously on Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong...
Then, something far more shocking took place.
As the brilliant flash of lightning, impossible to track precisely, began to dissipate, Leo Ray had already touched down firmly on Rax's head, following the giant's pointless rush!
This sight left the Half-Titans and Stone Giants alike with frozen smirks on their enormous faces, plunging the entire area into silence.
Keep in mind, Rax truly possessed half-step Tier 7 power, and though not the fastest, he could match any peak Tier 6 speedster!
For the Human Race's Emperor to effortlessly evade Rax's massive punch, it pointed to just one conclusion: the former's power was definitely on par with the latter!
"The power of Your Majesty of the Humans has reached half-step Tier 7?! That's the level of second-tier forces in the Outer Region!"
Stunned inwardly, Administrator I couldn't hold back and voiced it aloud.
"What?! Your Majesty of the Humans possesses half-step Tier 7 strength?!"
Hearing that, Sina, Loris, and the rest, still reeling from the earlier shocking display, all cried out in unison, even old Gary joined in.
During the demon confrontation, old Gary had witnessed Leo Ray's exceptional might and realized it hit half-step Tier 7, but at that time, Leo Ray was still getting used to this force and couldn't control it well.
In this brief period, Leo Ray appeared completely reborn, showing power equal to Rax's and even perching on the giant's head!
As for latecomers like Sina and Loris, they only knew Leo Ray had guided everyone to victory over the demons, unaware of the details, so seeing his power explode to this degree was bound to amaze them.
"Majesty of the Humans is mighty! Make that cocky fool feel our strength!"
Caught up in the astonishment, Sina, Loris, and the others couldn't resist shouting cheers, which immediately lifted our spirits.
Naturally, some who seemed to have anticipated this also joined the shouts, including Moli, Fei'er, and several of Leo Ray's powerful subordinates.
"Human, you've crossed the line!"
Sensing Leo Ray's weight on his head and the sudden shift in the mood around him, Rax's once steady and cool bronze face flushed with rage, as his huge hand whipped up a storm-like gale toward Leo Ray.
But Leo Ray was ready, leaping away like a dragonfly touching the surface, and soon reappeared directly before Rax.
Once he landed solidly, Leo Ray said nothing, merely crooking a finger at his foe.
"Human, you've completely provoked this Prince!"
With his pride crushed, Rax saw the taunt and charged ahead in fury once more, summoning a massive golden battle-axe into his enormous grip, swinging it at Leo Ray like a surging flood.
He hadn't intended to draw a weapon at first, not taking Leo Ray seriously, but now desperate to save face, he ignored everything else.
Quickly, armored in gleaming gold and gripping his golden axe, Rax resembled a descending War God, and everywhere the huge blade passed, it tore open a vast tear in space, exposing the mysterious Void Space's depths—a truly breathtaking view.
"Impressive force, if only you could actually hit me."
Leo Ray arched an eyebrow casually, then turned into a streak of vivid lightning, vanishing from Rax's view in a flash.
As expected, Rax's strike met empty air again, leaving him to bellow in frustration to release his boiling fury.
Soon after, an incredible display began.
Though Rax's assaults were rapid and devastating, even creating hundreds of huge afterimages, he failed to land a single blow on Leo Ray.
While Leo Ray dodged with ease, he occasionally paused on purpose to let Rax attack, driving the giant to roar skyward in rage, yet powerless against him.
Seeing this never-before-seen battle, our side's excitement knew no bounds, whereas the giant warriors stayed quiet, their hearts in chaos.
Having fought beside the Half-Titans and Stone Giants for ages, they all understood Prince Mad Axe Rax's prowess, a fearsome fighter who dominated Tier 5 armies like an unstoppable phantom, felling countless geniuses over the years.
Yet now, he couldn't deal with a single human—it was downright inconceivable!
Shaking inside, the giants' shocked stares fixed on the elusive Leo Ray, who appeared and vanished at will; no surprise the Human Race's Emperor brought his group to the feast without letting them profit, for he was this formidable himself!
Come to think of it, the minor Human Domain had never approached the Outer Region's edges, so how had it birthed such a remarkable powerhouse?
"To me, you're crawling like a snail, not even grazing my cloak, still bold enough to press on—who's the real idiot here?"
As he handled the fight with ease, Leo Ray's calm voice echoed across the Banquet Hall, cutting deeply into the giants' ears, leaving them helpless to respond.
Leo Ray stayed so composed because, first, as a Swordsman, he was an agility-based powerhouse.
Second, boosted by Thunder spells, various enhancements, and Sheila's complete buffs, his speed hit an extraordinarily high mark.
Third, compared to Rax's colossal frame, hitting the regular human-sized Leo Ray proved even harder under those advantages.
"Human, don't get cocky!"
Panting heavily but refusing to yield, Rax swung his massive axe in another brutal charge at Leo Ray!
"Using Your Excellency's words, it's just to liven up the banquet, so why get so worked up?"
Leo Ray smiled faintly, as waves of glowing purple magic swirled around him, allowing him to land once again on the sweat-soaked head of his rival for the umpteenth time, inflicting little physical damage but maximum shame.
Truth be told, Leo Ray's goal was to break the enemy's morale, gaining an edge for future dealings, and if things turned hostile, he was set for an all-out clash.
"Human, you've pushed me to the brink; this Prince will make you regret it!"
Frustrated time and again, Rax discarded his pride and the refined air of a Half-Titan aristocrat, clearly lost to insanity, far from his starting poise and tranquility.
"Your Excellency, doesn't this harm your reputation?"
Leo Ray zipped behind him, popping up casually and landing a quick kick on Rax's leg armor.
Though it didn't topple the energy-shielded Rax, it still caused him to stumble, almost toppling over.
"Since His Majesty of the Humans handles this so well, why not let this elder join the excitement?"
Watching Leo Ray toy with Rax effortlessly, Payton couldn't stay seated any longer, rushing forward with his giant sword drawn.
Sure enough, Payton and Rax were sworn foes, clashing many times in combat, and Payton relished seeing Rax humiliated.
However, with this banquet co-hosted by Half-Titans and Stone Giants, the pair were allied for now; in this setup, Payton couldn't allow Leo Ray to dominate alone.
As Payton's words rang out, he surged ahead, bridging the distance to Leo Ray almost instantly.
"Two half-step Tier 7 powerhouses ganging up on one of ours—doesn't this make a second-tier force look pathetic?"
Seeing this, Loris, Sina, and the rest voiced their concern, "Majesty of the Humans, watch out!"
Yet before our group's anxious shouts finished, Payton, sword held aloft, dove from overhead, unexpectedly striking down at Leo Ray with everything he had!
Boom!
In the midst of the thunderous energy collision, everyone's eyes bulged once more, as they watched Payton—the aggressor—get hurled back instead!
