Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2633: 1449: Desperation and Astonishment (Part 2)

The myriad, perhaps even hundreds of thousands or millions, of eerie white eyes crammed into every nook, already overwhelming the whole area and rendering it nearly impossible to navigate.

“Your Majesty of the Humans, just hang in there a bit more—the secret path you took to get here offers the quickest way back up to the surface!”

Sina gave a nod to Leo Ray, her teeth clenched as she uttered the words.

Her wounds were grave, and though she might blend in with those white eyes, the sinister vibe still caused her footing to waver.

Right after Sina finished speaking, an abrupt shift took place.

A massive white barrier, absent moments ago, materialized ahead on the route, obstructing their way.

At the sight, Leo Ray and his allies unleashed a flurry of strikes, charging straight at the obstacle.

Yet this unforeseen white barrier proved incredibly tough, with any damaged section reforming in an instant, and deeper layers of wall lurking behind the breaks, as though the void was stuffed full.

A short time later, to the shock of Leo Ray and his team, they realized the barrier consisted entirely of those bizarre white eyes.

For in the instant of breakage, they witnessed hordes of white eyes fracturing apart before fusing back into the structure, and in its solid wall state, even Sina found passage denied.

With no other recourse, the party had to skirt alongside the barrier, searching for an alternate route, only to discover every direction sealed off by enormous white barriers, halting all progress.

Even worse, the barrier's depth kept growing, drawing in additional swarms of those encroaching white oddities.

It appeared these white oddities had condensed to a critical point, crafting this indestructible white barrier.

“Your Majesty of the Humans, it looks like our only option is to retrace our steps. The other ways out are longer, but we’re out of choices.”

Sina shook her head in resignation at Leo Ray, and the group promptly reversed course.

However, it wasn’t long before their worst fear came true.

The route they’d just crossed was now sealed by another white barrier, which thickened relentlessly, defying all attempts to breach it.

Witnessing this, a heavy silence of despair settled over them, trapped with no advance or retreat possible.

Should this persist, soon the whole space would brim with white barriers, sealing their doom beyond doubt.

“No, we need to sever the origin of these eerie white eyes for any chance at survival.”

Amid the rising panic in the group, Leo Ray’s steady voice cut through, directing his question to Sina: “Desert Leader, where did these things first emerge from?”

“I’m sure Your Majesty is aware by now, but during our Medusa New King’s ascension ceremony, the ancient Magic Stele needed activation to grant the new ruler a massive boost in strength and magical abilities.”

Sina detailed to Leo Ray through gritted teeth, “Back then, no matter Belinda’s coercion or temptations, I wouldn’t assist in powering the stele. Enraged, she ignored our sacred traditions and commanded all nearby Tier 6 Medusas to force its activation.”

“Once mana flowed in, the stele released an odd energy pulse, and these horrifying creatures burst forth from it without warning, starting to ravenously consume everyone present.”

“Soon after feeding, more of those eerie white eyes appeared from other spots, causing the chaos to explode out of control.”

Remembering that horror, Sina’s already tense, pale features grew even more stricken with dread as she told Leo Ray, “The rest, as Your Majesty knows, unfolded from there.”

“So the Magic Stele is the root of it all?”

Leo Ray nodded at Sina without hesitation, “Hurry, lead me to the stele!”

“Got it—it’s right there on the altar!”

With that, Sina mustered her remaining energy to dash ahead once more.

En route to their goal, Leo Ray could clearly sense it.

The hordes of bizarre eyes crowding around them started to sluggish their movements, signaling the onset of white barrier formation, leaving him scant time.

As the team blasted away the snarling white eyes swarming nearby, they pressed on rapidly, and soon reached the altar, close to the towering white stele.

Etched upon the stele were intricate magical runes, emitting a faint, unusual white glow that matched the earlier white formations perfectly.

“Little Jie, Xiao Jing, join me in striking the stele—let’s try smashing it outright!”

A surge of purple light erupted from the sword in Leo Ray’s grip, his divine grace power fully ignited, as he rained down hundreds of cuts upon the massive stele.

At the same time, the pair of Stone Spirits unleashed their might, with volleys of magic projectiles and razor-sharp sword beams weaving together, surging toward the stele.

Following the onslaught, the huge stele stood unscathed, though its radiating white light intensified dramatically.

Before Leo Ray could respond, the environment shifted in a flash, transporting the group into a boundless white expanse.

This realm stretched infinitely, beyond the reach of sight, filled solely with an otherworldly glow that induced vertigo.

Suddenly, torrents of yellow sand erupted nearby, whipping the space into a fierce sandstorm, rapidly reshaping it into a vast desert—an utterly astonishing transformation.

Regardless of the sandstorm’s rage, their immediate surroundings stayed untouched, while endless sand particles inexplicably welled up from below, elevating the ground considerably.

“Lord, look over there—quick!”

The surprised exclamations from Little Jie and Xiao Jing echoed together, their fingers aimed directly forward.

At the heart of the sandstorm hovered a shadowy elderly form, unknown to them, prompting all to clutch their weapons firmly, staying ever vigilant.

In an instant, the sandstorm halted abruptly, and the elderly figure materialized like a specter right in front of Leo Ray.

Dressed in a robe the color of sand, stooped with age, his wrinkled face evoked a simple human farmer from the countryside, bearing no remarkable traits.

“Young one, did you stir me from slumber?”

The old man in the sand robe locked his aged gaze on Leo Ray, inquiring sternly.

“Who might you be? And what is this place?”

Though the elder seemed unthreatening, Leo Ray remained cautious, posing his questions warily.

“You wonder about this location?”

The sand-robed elder erupted into chuckles, replying, “You’ve been within me all along, yet you question its nature?”

“What?”

At the elder’s revelation, the group traded puzzled looks.

A beat later, realization dawned on Leo Ray, and he exclaimed, “So this subterranean realm of peculiar white substance is really just your skeleton?”

With Leo Ray’s statement, the others caught on too, their expressions brimming with incredulity.

This Medusa sanctuary was already immense, the coronation hall alone vast enough for an entire village, and it formed merely a portion of this entity’s form? Even a colossal dragon couldn’t boast such scale!

But the sand-robed elder’s following remark stunned them further.

“Skeleton? That’s not quite right—what you called the full underground area is only a minor cavity inside one of my finger bones, nowhere near my full skeletal frame.”

The elder’s declaration brought utter quiet.

Even a mere fragment of a finger bone spanned so hugely; what unimaginable proportions did this existence possess? It defied all conception!

“Then, who are you exactly, Your Excellency?”

Though reeling inwardly, Leo Ray steadied himself and pressed the question once more.
