Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2631: 1448: Shock After Shock (Part 2)

Soon after, Leo Ray and his companions discovered Sina's location from the informant's words—it was inside a hidden chamber tucked away in one corner of the hall.
Upon reaching this place from the Coronation Ground, Belinda had dragged Sina and several guards into that secret room, while dispatching a handful of subordinates to summon help, since all magical communications in the area were severed.
Yet, these subordinates hadn't even departed when they bumped into those eerie white eyeballs once more, forcing them to retreat in panic, which sparked the chaos they had just witnessed.
Having heard the account, Leo Ray nodded in contemplation; ever since stepping into this space, even his mental communication failed, explaining why the other Medusas outside remained uninformed.
“Lead us to the secret chamber at once!”
With Lannis issuing a sharp order, the subordinates showed clear obedience and started guiding the group forward.
In the midst of this, they clung desperately close to Leo Ray, hoping for his safeguard, as those bizarre white eyeballs formed not just a lone threat but an overwhelming horde.
It wasn't long until the party reached the secret chamber's entrance, concealed in the hall's shadowy nook, where the door hung ajar, surrounded by the twisted remains of several subordinates strewn across the threshold.
At the sight, the group sighed in resignation. As the servant had explained, those odd white eyeballs materialized from nowhere on the pale walls and stone columns, and the entire surroundings matched that design. Thus, closing the door wouldn't have halted their advance anyway.
Directed by the subordinates, the team dashed through the corridor without pause, soon emerging into a confined white space far tighter than the grand hall before.
Corpses scattered the floor there, and hundreds of those peculiar white eyeballs floated menacingly. Amid this swarm stood Sina, restrained by heavy iron chains, alongside another crowned Medusa powerhouse who bore a striking resemblance to her, revealing her role unmistakably.
“That's the Lord Leader and Belinda!”
Lannis's eyes bulged in surprise as she cried out: “Wonderful, the Lord Leader has survived!”
“Lannis, and the Human Emperor?”
Spotting Leo Ray's arrival out of nowhere, Sina's face filled with utter disbelief: “What brings you here?”
“Desert Leader, this isn't the moment for explanations—let's escape this cursed spot first.”
Empowered by the Power of Divine Grace, Leo Ray replied, giving Sina a nod.
“Human Emperor, I didn't think you'd dare venture into this lair, dragging along these worthless pests no less.”
Belinda's bosom rose and fell rapidly as she scoffed: “Regrettably, though I planned to wipe you out personally, these horrors will guarantee your utter doom without a trace left!”
“Human Majesty, Lannis, flee now—these white eyeballs are utterly bizarre, resisting all forms of assault and brimming with savage fury; you can't stand against them!”
Sina's lovely eyes stretched wide as she urgently cautioned Leo Ray: “Hurry and escape, or a faint hope might still remain!”
“Hahaha, far too late—they show mercy to no one!”
Consumed by frenzy, Belinda shrieked wildly: “All of you will perish right here today!”
As Belinda's outburst faded, the hovering white anomalies clearly sensed Leo Ray's presence, radiating a savage intent to kill while charging forward swiftly.
At the same time, countless more dubious white eyeballs burst from the pale walls or the ceiling above, assaulting from every angle toward the group.
The swarm of hundreds packed tightly, the leading ones bloating grotesquely, their cavernous mouths gaping open in a spectacle of pure terror.
“Lord’s Binding!”
Little Jie's gentle call unleashed the Tier 6 Absolute Imprisonment Barrier, enveloping the whole area in an instant.
Crushed by intensified gravity, the eerie white eyeballs plastered themselves to the floor, walls, or ceiling, rendering them completely stuck.
“Thunder Arc Burst!”
Leo Ray's command rang out next, unleashing a torrent of brilliant violet arcs that leaped everywhere, swallowing the trapped white eyeballs and detonating them in waves.
“We'll help out as well!”
Emboldened by the display, Lannis and her allies surged with energy, pitching in to eliminate the lingering white eyeballs alongside Leo Ray; even the guiding subordinates joined the fray, firing off Petrification Light one after another.
Thanks to the united assault from the team, the previously invincible white eyeballs fell in droves, clearing the once-cluttered chamber back to openness.
“How—how could this be?”
Watching Leo Ray's forces dispatch the invincible white eyeballs with ease, Belinda's injected eyes protruded under the lingering gravity's weight, as she raved on: “Mere pathetic humans, how dare they accomplish what even I failed at?!”
Brushing off the foe entirely, Leo Ray guided Lannis and the rest to Sina's position.
“Human Emperor, you—how on earth did you pull that off?”
Sina, stunned to her core, fixed her gaze on Leo Ray's composed expression.
From the start, she had seen the terrifying might of those white eyeballs, their insatiable voids consuming all in a hellish nightmare of despair, echoing with cries of agony.
But against Leo Ray, these monstrous abominations proved utterly defenseless!
Even more shocking, Lannis and the subordinates had battled those fiends too!
Gazing at Sina's pale, amazed visage, Leo Ray offered a subtle smile and gestured for Xiao Jing and Little Jie to free her from the bonds.
Besides himself, the secret to Lannis and the others damaging the white eyeballs lay in the shared Power of Divine Grace.
This mirrored actions by Elder Bing and Xueli in the past; he had simply followed suit.
On top of that, his thoughts brimmed with uncertainties, like the origins of those white eyeballs and why Sina and Belinda appeared largely unscathed by them.
“Desert Leader, we need to depart immediately.”
Once the Stone Spirits released the chains, Leo Ray assisted Sina to her feet, his brow furrowed: “Time is short; the crisis presses on.”
“I'll follow the Human Majesty's lead.”
Sina, grasping the situation's details, agreed firmly without hesitation.
During their time at the Shadow Market, the Desert Leader had already warmed to Leo Ray, and this rescue elevated him to a profound savior in her eyes, deepening her admiration exponentially.
Meanwhile, Lannis and the catman warriors, buzzing with thrill, secured the ranting Belinda and the remaining subordinates tightly, averting any potential mishaps.
Following that, Leo Ray's crew hurried back the way they came, rapidly traversing the corridor to reenter the earlier hall.
But the spectacle that greeted them next left all in stunned horror, a chill racing through their veins.
The vast white hall, previously so open, now brimmed with fist-sized white eyeballs stacked in endless layers, jostling for space, their numbers swelling to at least ten thousand, sealing off every path as a suffocating wave of murderous intent thickened the very atmosphere.
Furthermore, the horde's density visibly grew by the second, clustering impenetrably and sending shivers across everyone's scalps.
“It appears our foes have no intention of letting us slip away unscathed.”
Taking in the view, Leo Ray's eyes narrowed darkly, violet energy flaring around his form.
