Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2793 1532: Duel at the Banquet (Part 2)

Because of these unexpected occurrences unfolding so rapidly, even though Payton swiftly adapted his massive frame to balance himself upon landing from being hurled back, he was still forced to slide dozens of meters rearward before managing to halt his momentum.

"The Second Elder got blown away outright?"

Witnessing Payton in such a disheveled condition, the Stone Giant warriors immediately erupted in shock, hardly able to trust what they saw.

One must remember that while the Human Emperor had toyed with Prince Mad Axe Rax repeatedly, it was through clever disruption of his power, exactly the reason Rax remained powerless against him.

For Payton, whose abilities differ from Rax's, to suffer a setback in a head-on confrontation is utterly inconceivable!

"Uh! What's really happening here?"

Having been mysteriously repelled, Payton himself opened his enormous eyes wide, brimming with confusion and astonishment.

Just as he neared contact with Leo Ray, it seemed like he slammed into an unseen colossal spring, rebounding from an overpowering force beyond his control!

In Payton's direct view, Leo Ray remained relaxed, gazing at the Stone Spirit now visible on his shoulder while sharing thoughts mentally, "Sheila, excellent work, thanks to you."

"Lord, you praise me too much; it's my privilege as a subordinate to ease your load."

Sheila, in her petite elf shape, perched on Leo Ray's shoulder and offered a soft smile.

Payton's disheveled appearance stemmed directly from her magical energy.

"I never imagined you could repel that huge fellow so straightforwardly; what was your method?"

As he assessed the unfolding events anew, Leo Ray pondered aloud with interest.

Though Payton's entry complicated matters a bit, Sheila's assistance allowed him to maintain dominance over the scenario.

Sheila's action had genuinely impressed him too.

"That was the Resist Magic Ring; the more intense the incoming force, the greater the counterforce it generates. Naturally, this ability has notable restrictions, failing against overly massive or nimble foes, yet it's perfect for single Half-Titans and Stone Giants."

With a slight arch of her brows, Sheila placed hands on her hips and responded, "Lord, from your reaction, did you assume your subordinate was limited to boosting and firing elemental projectiles?"

"No way, absolutely not."

Leo Ray gave an embarrassed grin, then added earnestly, "In that case, I'll trust you with guarding my rear."

As Leo Ray and Sheila exchanged mental words, Rax and Payton were quickest to spot her manifested appearance.

Although Sheila looked as insignificant as a thumb cap to the giants, the powerful energy auras she radiated ensured neither Rax nor Payton underestimated her.

"Is that truly the Divine Stone?!"

Being of royal blood with high standing among Half-Titans, the erudite Rax soon discerned Sheila's true nature, his forehead creasing even more.

Little surprise the Human Emperor acted so boldly; he possesses such a formidable companion!

"Might it be the Divine Stone?"

Payton's massive eye locked onto Sheila atop Leo Ray's shoulder, his rocky gray colossal visage turning graver. Though he couldn't verify her identity completely, he knew she was the one who repelled him!

In that instant, both the often frustrated Rax and Payton, struck down on his initial attempt, seethed with fury, clenching their jaws.

Keep in mind, they rank as the premier powerhouses of their clans, yet against a single human, they secure no upper hand. How could this not shame them? Regardless, they must restore their honor!

"What's that perched on the Human Emperor's shoulder? Did it push back the Second Elder?"

The observing giants soon picked up on the hints, crying out in amazement, "I never thought the Human Emperor hid such a mighty partner!"

Beyond the shock, be it among the mighty Half-Titans or Stone Giants, everyone directed gazes blending wonder and concern.

Their awe stemmed from Leo Ray paired with Sheila, forming two Half-step Tier 7 powerhouses—an entity on par with national forces in any second-tier realm!

Their concern arose from Rax and Payton's ongoing presence; they had hoped Payton's entry would overpower the Human Emperor, but instead, Payton was effortlessly repulsed.

Adding Rax's earlier failures, doesn't this indicate they still achieve zilch against the Human Emperor?

Such ideas racing through their heads, numerous battle spectators, apart from fretting, subtly directed admiring glances toward Leo Ray.

Ultimately, Half-Titans and Stone Giants alike are societies that revere strength above all. Encountering Leo Ray, whose prowess matches their elite fighters, inevitably sparked reverence and a hint of submission.

"Long live Your Majesty of the Humans!"

At the same time, back at their base, Loris, Sina, and the rest yelled fervently amid their thrill.

No surprise Your Majesty brought them to the feast with such assurance; he truly holds the necessary might! A duo of Half-step Tier 7 experts qualifies as the key to joining the second-tier power elite!
