Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2794 1532: Showdown at the Banquet (Part 2)
Previously on Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong...
"Emperor of the Human Race, this elder will face you again!"
Observing the declining spirits among his own forces contrasted with the vibrant energy on Leo Ray's side, Payton, who had been set to dominate the battle single-handedly, sensed a pulse in his temple. He lifted his enormous sword and unleashed yet another brutal assault toward Leo Ray.
Although Rax hesitated to team up with Payton, his desire to restore his reputation burned strong, prompting him to dash off in a separate path gripping his axe.
Amid the chaotic heart of the feast room, these two colossal fighters whipped up fierce gusts nearby, resembling enormous vessels navigating rough seas, clamping down on Leo Ray from opposite flanks!
Furthermore, the pair had obviously taken lessons from their earlier errors. The moment they surged forward, they morphed into countless afterimages, replicas, and even solid duplicates swarming from every angle, striving to seal off every possible retreat for Leo Ray!
Under these circumstances, even should Leo Ray slip past their strikes, any tangle with a solid duplicate hidden in the mirages and standard replicas would create a pause, handing them the upper hand!
With this strategy in mind, Rax and Payton grinned with overconfidence. At last, they were convinced the Emperor of the Human Race had nowhere to flee!
"Quite the fierce drive. Wonder if you can sustain it."
Confronting the joint assault, Leo Ray remained composed and chose not to dodge right away. Rather, he barreled directly toward Rax.
Perched on Leo Ray's shoulder, Sheila in her role as assistant shifted to total battle readiness, firing off a storm of elemental projectiles like ceaseless streams, demolishing the approaching phantoms and duplicates, paving the way for Leo Ray's advance.
The expansive middle of the banquet hall filled with intersecting energy surges, radiating outward akin to a hurricane's core, scattering numerous table settings in the process.
An observer needed to focus intently during the clash, deploying layer upon layer of sturdy magical barriers consecutively, or else the power of four near Tier 7 powerhouses would wreck the entire Shadow Market as unintended fallout.
"Human clan, feel the wrath of the prince's axe!"
Words barely spoken, Rax's massive axe slashed savagely at the oncoming Leo Ray!
As the battle axe's broad edge neared Leo Ray, Rax was stunned to see the form before him dissolve into a phantom—it had vanished already!
Simultaneously, Payton's blow met nothing but air, sending a shiver up his back, and as he whipped his head around in dread, Leo Ray's boot sole confronted him.
Boom!
A thunderous boom of clashing powers erupted, leaving Payton unprepared and stumbling rearward, absorbing Leo Ray's aerial kick via his energy shield, forced to step back more than ten paces once more.
Witnessing this, the spectators at last understood that the "Leo Ray" heading for Rax served merely as a feint, with the true form having snuck around to Payton's rear long before! Amid the wild energy ripples in the banquet hall's core, spotting it proved quite challenging!
"Did you two truly believe you alone master shadows and doppelgangers?"
Touching down firmly, Leo Ray brushed off his sleeve with poise.
"Mirage Illusion Skill!"
Ere the enraged Rax and Payton could respond, a horde of replicas sprang up beside Leo Ray in an instant, surging at the duo like a relentless wave.
During this, Sheila stayed active, unleashing thick clusters of elemental projectiles via the spaces amid Leo Ray's replicas, hurtling toward Rax and Payton.
Met with the abrupt retaliation from Leo Ray and Sheila, Rax and Payton were compelled to pull back momentarily, laboring to repel Leo Ray's replicas all the while evading Sheila's elemental shots.
Given their hulking builds, Rax and Payton struggled to evade the elemental projectiles effectively, particularly as Leo Ray's authentic form lurked within the replicas, at times vaulting above and others delivering kicks to the pair, leaving them in disarray and utterly devoid of their earlier vigor!
"Human clan, don't assume this ends here!"
As he awkwardly sidestepped elemental shots, Rax spotted Leo Ray's true form having just booted Payton's rear, ignored the encircling Leo Ray replicas, and lunged forward axe in hand.
Yet midway, a weight pressed on his skull, for another "Leo Ray" now perched above, slamming down with a Thunderfall!
Although the Thunder Light failed to shatter Rax's Energy Barrier, it pushed the already frustrated Prince Mad Axe into frenzy, bellowing uncontrollably!
Only then did he grasp that scattered among the ceaselessly growing Leo Ray replicas stood real solid duplicates!
"It's merely my Illusive Thunder Clone, why fuss so much about it?"
Leo Ray's silhouette shimmered, vanishing back among the nearby replicas.
At this stage, despite Payton's forceful attempts, his fate mirrored Rax's precisely—a mere chaotic pursuit orchestrated by Leo Ray.
Within the chaotic banquet hall, Leo Ray's purple magical glow danced through the cluster of replicas; each spot he materialized, a barrage of Sheila's elemental projectiles erupted, with elegant ease.
In contrast, Rax and Payton resembled aimless insects, flailing desperately across the space. As they swung their massive weapons in vain, they grappled to avoid abrupt hits from Leo Ray's true form and replicas, while also taking several hits from Sheila. What a sorry spectacle.
Everyone knew Leo Ray possessed not only matchless swiftness but also the boon of Power of Divine Grace, whereas Sheila gained vigor from Power Activation, and their lord-follower coordination flowed perfectly, rendering this outcome unavoidable.
"Emperor of the Human Race, this elder refuses to accept I cannot strike you!"
Soon enough, Payton also bellowed in anger, his ashen colossal visage twisted in annoyance, aligning with Rax in their helpless wrath.
Multiple instances, per Leo Ray's design, the pair nearly smashed into one another, sidestepping with hilariously clumsy maneuvers, amusing the giants who watched through cringed eyes.
"Move aside, Stone Giant, you're in the prince's way!"
At length, nearly crashing into Payton once more, Rax redirected his fury at him, pushing Payton out of the path.
"Half-Titan, this elder generously offered aid, you thankless brute!"
Payton, seething already, noticed Rax's initial move and countered directly.
"Who sought your assistance? You've only caused chaos!"
Rax growled in fury, "Without your meddling, this prince would have seized that human ages ago!"
"Absurd! A paltry Half-Titan, bragging shamelessly, utterly shaming the Titan lineage!"
Payton paid no heed to Leo Ray close by and charged forth to scuffle with Rax.
For an instant, the duo hammered at each other fiercely, caught in a lively scuffle.
Upon viewing their champions locked in combat, the sidelined half-Titans and Stone Giants refused to yield, clashing with one another in a furious exchange of words.
"Hahaha, so this has been Your Majesty of the Humans' scheme from the start!"
Observing this, the warriors on our team burst into joyful cheers, savoring the show.
In truth, the enmity between half-Titans and Stone Giants delved so profoundly that no fleeting pact could bridge it! While strife lingered, they could never wholly oppose us!
"Stop this! Such shame!"
Scarcely had Rax and Payton clashed for a short while when a profoundly commanding bass voice thundered from the banquet hall's far end, rattling the utensils on the tables.
"Emperor of the Human Race, you truly are a cunning tactician, yet do you suppose this halts all?"
