Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2674: 1470: Questions and Helpers

Under the piercing stare concealed beneath the hood, Leo Ray's thoughts swirled once more with a barrage of inquiries, all while he stayed on high alert toward the mysterious figure, lost in contemplation.

Judging from the present circumstances, nothing points to any link between this individual and the liches, or the shadowy force pulling their strings.

The sole resemblance linking them is their command over remarkable spatial abilities.

This profound and inscrutable might surpasses even Jasper Richardson, who's climbing through the ranks, and outstrips the team's top Spatial Great Magic Instructor, Ellie, by far.

However, Xiao Jing's recent close inspection revealed that the spatial barrier cast by this figure starkly contrasts with the spatial energy wielded by that mastermind beyond, solidifying that they're wielded by different hands.

Thus, the puzzle deepens: as I suspected earlier, what draws this person to dwell in this spatial rift? Why even tend to a patch of farmland here?

That much suggests they've been dwelling in this place for quite some time now.

Moreover, what's the true background of this enigmatic being? Might they aid in my escape from here? Could they even turn into a valuable partner?

As bewilderment gripped Leo Ray, the thrilled murmur from the pink-hooded silhouette echoed once more: “Human boy, there's a unique energy about you—precisely what I crave!”

“What are your intentions? Don't you dare plot against the Lord!”

These abrupt words sparked icy expressions on Xiao Jing and Little Jie's faces, who promptly directed their weapons toward the unknown intruder on reflex.

“Hmm? Just two Tier 6 Stone Spirits—creatures like them are hardly uncommon in my domain.”

A chilling edge crept into the pink-hooded figure's tone as they sneered: “Are you really thinking of challenging the odds?”

Immediately, a tremendous surge of spatial energy rippled out from the pink-hooded figure; Leo Ray sensed himself ensnared by unseen bonds, frozen in place, with even the circulation of power in his veins grinding to a halt.

Xiao Jing and Little Jie found themselves equally immobilized, straining desperately but achieving nothing.

In that instant, the pink-hooded figure—barely reaching Leo Ray's chest in stature—loomed like an immense fortress, bearing down oppressively on Leo Ray and his companions, and this was only the raw pulse of their aura, without any incantation involved.

“Your Excellency, they're simply watching out for my safety, with no malice meant.”

Beneath the onslaught of pressure from every angle, Leo Ray first sent a mental message to the two Stone Spirits to hold back their aggression, then forced a subtle grin and stated: “If Your Excellency truly meant us harm, you'd have struck sooner—why let us even utter a word?”

“Clever one.”

The pink-hooded figure gave a soft huff, and the binding force clamping Leo Ray and the others vanished.

Now eased of the strain, Leo Ray kept his mild smile and pressed on: “As I said earlier, we stumbled into this place by accident; if Your Excellency isn't aligned with the liches, maybe we could forge an alliance.”

“I noticed before—you were clashing with the liches, weren't you?”

Folding their arms, the pink-hooded figure dipped their head and remarked: “That's exactly why I sought you out; had those liches forced their way in, I'd have smashed them to pieces ages ago.”

“Does that mean the liches are Your Excellency's foes as well?”

A rush of elation filled Leo Ray's chest as he hurriedly inquired.

“Foes? We're beyond that—I'm in eternal enmity with them!”

The pink-hooded figure's tone grew noticeably angrier, teeth gnashing as they spat: “It's all because of them and the demon lurking behind, that I've been sealed away in this prison for decades!”

“Oh?”

Traces of astonishment flickered across Leo Ray and the two Stone Spirits' features.

Ah, so that's why this figure makes their home in the spatial crevice and even farms the soil—they've been confined here all along.

Even better, they've openly unveiled the mastermind we suspected, lending weight to our suspicions without a doubt.

“But that's all in the past—now, escape might finally be within reach!”

The pink-hooded figure drew nearer to Leo Ray, their words brimming with uncontainable delight: “Human boy, ever since you accidentally slipped into this spatial tear, I've kept tabs on you. The test just now sealed it for me—you wield the Power of Divine Grace, the very special power I've been seeking!”

“This figure can even detect the Power of Divine Grace?”

At these words, Leo Ray and the two Stone Spirits exchanged glances anew, conveying their shock via mental link.

It's worth noting that so far, not a single powerhouse from the Outer Regions—not Loris or Sina—in could pinpoint the Power of Divine Grace amid regular energies; even after sharing it widely, no one spotted the distinction.

In the end, this force was exclusive to the Chosen Sons of God in the pre-Blankness Era, shrouded in enigma back then, and now, with gods absent and Chosen Sons faded into legend, how could this person possibly recognize it?
