Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2677 1472: Twists and Turns

"Oh? Please, Your Excellency, go ahead and speak!"

Leo Ray's deep black eyes sparkled with interest, prompting him to respond without delay.

"However, while this approach truly works well, it demands the use of a high-purity Barrier Crystal, which costs a fortune!"

The figure in the pink hood deftly rubbed his fingers in Leo Ray's direction before mimicking the motion of flipping a gold coin, adding: "Do you get my drift, young human? I'm happy to assist, but that doesn't include supplying the materials out of my own pocket!"

"Don't worry, Your Excellency; I'll cover every expense for employing your abilities."

Leo Ray caught on right away and offered a wry grin.

To his surprise, this person was no stranger to the gold coin flicking trick, a sign he'd roamed these lands for quite some time. In the Outer Region, after all, groups relied on Magic Crystals or bartered gear; such valuables weren't casually tossed about.

"From the look of you, you're clearly loaded. Just don't overlook my cherished rug!"

The pink-hooded figure nodded approvingly and flicked his wrist, summoning a Barrier Crystal as big as the earlier tiny cabin. Shaped squarely and buffed to flawless transparency, it bore intricate, profound Magic Patterns across its face—a scale that left Leo Ray utterly stunned.

"Hehe, impressed, right? I swapped it from a birdman ages back for five sixth-order equipment pieces, and sealing spells into it took me more than a month!"

Catching Leo Ray's wide-eyed stare, the pink-hooded figure planted his hands on his hips, radiating smug satisfaction.

With that, the pink-hooded figure eyed Leo Ray once more and inquired, "Young human, can you really swing five pieces of sixth-order equipment?"

"Your Excellency, our Lord rules as the Human Clan's Emperor; handling that is a breeze for him!"

Xiao Jing mirrored the pose with hands on hips, brimming with boastful energy: "Plus, loads of third-class powers in the Outer Region hold our Lord in high regard!"

"Oh? That's supposed to wow me?"

The pink-hooded figure kept his voice even while fixing his gaze directly on Leo Ray.

"Nothing earth-shattering, but sufficient to honor commitments."

Leo Ray dipped his head to the pink-hooded figure with a grin, saying, "Your Excellency, we're short on time, so let's hear your strategy."

"Very well, I'll take your word for it again. The strategy's straightforward: trigger the spatial disruption spell locked in the Barrier Crystal to wipe out every magical snare in this place!"

The pink-hooded figure gave the Barrier Crystal a light tap and elaborated: "With all these spatial snares neutralized, your group can just pull back together."

"So, Your Excellency, you're certain this can take out every spatial trap here in one go?"

Leo Ray's realization hit as he nodded and pressed for more details.

This was a vital point; despite his urgency, Leo Ray needed to confirm the foe's techniques.

"Yes, these spatial traps pose a real headache for typical space specialists, and layering on the Demon Evil God's Power makes breaking them far tougher."

The pink-hooded figure nodded sagely, exuding seasoned confidence. "Yet my space arts hail from the ancient woods..."

Sensing he risked revealing too much, the pink-hooded figure shifted gears and continued, "In any case, they're incredibly potent. By stirring up chaos on chaos, those spatial traps will dissolve. Naturally, I'll require your Power of Divine Grace to lend a hand."

"That's fine; this city hides space-folded zones with enormous expanses. Can your spell blanket such a broad stretch all at once, Your Excellency?"

Leo Ray pondered briefly before raising his last concern.

"It falls a bit short, hence my request for you to handle the Barrier Crystal's depletion."

The pink-hooded figure tilted his hooded chin upward and replied: "Usually, firing up the Formation stored in the Barrier Crystal wouldn't harm it, but to widen the reach, we'll have to boost the Formation's intensity past what the crystal can handle. Naturally, it'll shatter from the overload."

"Got it fully; time to start."

Leo Ray first alerted the rest of his followers in the city via Mind Talk, then gave the pink-hooded figure a nod.

Leo Ray's attendants all carried Magic Communications devices and assorted Communication Scrolls, positioned across the city. A few lingered near their mighty comrades, ready to pass along word even farther.

Though the spatial chaos severely hampered magical signals within the city, it couldn't block connections entirely, given that everyone involved was a Tier 5 powerhouse or stronger.

"I've waited ages for this chance. Time to give this loathsome wasteland a real shake!"

The pink-hooded figure rapidly set up an energy-feeding array right in front of Leo Ray, then tapped the Barrier Crystal gently with his Magic Wand, instantly conjuring a massive gray magic formation in the sky—easily half a castle's width.

As Leo Ray channeled his Power of Divine Grace into it, the vast gray magic formation's surface gleamed with golden radiance and swelled outward swiftly, resembling an enormous clock dial.

Furthermore, more than a thousand gray magic arrays of diverse sizes and forms materialized around the giant one, beginning to spin lazily.
