Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2680 1473: Urgency and Astonishment (Part 2)
Previously on Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong...
Upon the abrupt arrival of Leo Ray along with his allies, Old Gary and Yu Yu, positioned beyond the city walls, hurried forward to ask about the events.
Right from the start, these two had been locked in intense combat against various witch demons just outside the city, and they had sharply detected the death mist billowing upward from the massive city, filling their minds with intense concern and haste.
It was essential to realize that the primary orchestrator lurked far inside the massive city, and nobody could predict what additional cruel and brutal tactics the foe might unleash.
"The circumstances stand as follows."
Leo Ray brushed the perspiration off his brow and gave a concise account of what had transpired.
"So, unless we swiftly locate and obliterate the black fog array eye, the powerhouses within the city will be entirely eradicated in no time?"
Old Gary's tone grew intensely fretful as he declared, "Yet this region is incredibly expansive, the energy here is wildly disordered too, so precisely where might the array eye hide?"
The moment Old Gary concluded his words, Frank shook his head in despair at Leo Ray and remarked, "I apologize, Your Majesty, no signs of the foe's array eye exist in this vicinity."
"True enough, nothing out of the ordinary."
The figure in the pink hood likewise shook their head in resignation, concurring with the assessment.
"That's fine, we'll search elsewhere."
Though gripped by worry, Leo Ray forced himself to calm down and gave a nod to the pair.
Right when the group prepared to soar away, Yu Yu appeared to grasp a key insight, her eyes sparkling like stars, and she announced, "Human Majesty, the array eye lies within the Underground City!"
"Yu Yu, do you have certainty?"
Leo Ray's gaze brightened too as he burst out the question.
"Upon awakening, I sensed a concealed energy fluctuation in that spot; reflecting on it, that has to be the array eye!"
Yu Yu displayed total assurance, giving a firm nod.
"Lord, Yu Yu holds the Holy power and is exceptionally attuned to necromancy, so she cannot err!"
The words of Little Jie arrived via telepathic link.
"In that case, back to the Underground City we go!"
With this revelation, Leo Ray directed the team to lift off once more.
Retracing their earlier route, the party rapidly dropped down the tunnel until they reentered the subterranean chamber of the prior clash.
Following a thorough scan, Frank's spirits lifted noticeably, guiding Leo Ray and the rest deeper into the Underground City's core.
In the end, they halted at the terminus of a timeworn hallway, featuring merely an aged barrier, which looked like an impasse.
According to Old Gary and Yu Yu's recollections, it truly was a cul-de-sac, as prior efforts to extend the build never progressed further.
"Mere spatial trickery won't halt our advance!"
The pink-hooded individual sneered disdainfully, casually swung their magic wand, causing the nearby space to warp dramatically. The old barrier promptly dissolved, unveiling a hugely expansive shadowy realm before the assembly.
This zone rivaled the size of the earlier chamber, and at its heart floated a enormous crimson orb enveloped in dark haze.
The sphere pulsed endlessly, while sinister black magical runes sprawled across the floor, extending to the boundaries, nearly overtaking the whole area in a profoundly alarming display.
"Shatter into fragments now!"
The pink-hooded one brandished the wand, instantly pulverizing the crimson orb with spatial force, fragments exploding everywhere, unleashing a repulsive odor that hit them immediately.
Yet, once order restored, the form rapidly reformed, evidently unscathed at its essence.
Seeing this, just as the pink-hooded figure geared up for a total assault to demolish it, Frank's pressing call echoed: "That's no formation nucleus, merely a lure, the true nucleus hides over there!"
Tracing Frank's gesture, a modest cluster of crimson magical moss appeared in a overlooked nook, merging seamlessly with the surrounding vibrant moss varieties, nearly invisible without close inspection.
At these words, the pink-hooded one swung the wand anew, space twisted ferociously, pulverizing the moss and the full barrier into dust in an instant.
Precisely when the team neared relief, additional crimson magical moss sprouted from every side, some embedded profoundly in the shattered barrier, persisting in outward expansion.
"Very well, I'll pulverize this whole realm!"
Even as the pink-hooded figure readied another maximum effort, Leo Ray intervened to halt them.
"Your Excellency, the matter may prove more complex, aggressive removal would merely broaden the array eye's reach."
Leo Ray gave a subtle headshake, urging the pink-hooded one to maintain composure.
Thus, fresh beads of sweat rolled down Leo Ray's brow anew. Locating the array eye hadn't simplified things at all.
Moreover, it was undeniable that the comrades enduring deadly corrosion could scarcely endure much more.
"His Majesty speaks true, this reveals the dreadfulness of this array eye."
Frank continued the discussion, affirming with vigor: "Kindly permit this elder to attempt it."
After gaining Leo Ray's approval, Frank advanced, unleashing the unique ability to nullify necromancy in a swift wave.
On this occasion, the advancing moss growth halted effectively, though a dense darkness abruptly crept across the moss's exterior.
Instantly, the crimson moss bore shadowy markings, growing ever more sinister in aspect, as Frank's complexion drained of color, evidently rebounding from the array eye's counterforce.
"Your Majesty, grant this elder your strength!"
Frank clenched his jaws, his aged frame quivering, as he inclined his head toward Leo Ray.
"Precisely my plan."
Leo Ray rested his palm on Frank's shoulder, channeling the complete might of the Power of Divine Grace.
Infused with the Power of Divine Grace, Frank's presence surged vibrantly, the sinister dark markings on the crimson moss retreating rapidly.
With the dark markings dissolving, the crimson moss melted away akin to a flame in the wind, promptly evaporating into nothingness. In due course, the dark magical runes on the barriers and the crimson orb faded too, restoring peace to the shadowy expanse.
"Young human, victory is ours!"
Witnessing this, the pink-hooded one leaped in thrill, while Yu Yu and the others brimmed with uplifting expressions.
"With the foe's toxic array dismantled, we head back now."
Leo Ray acknowledged the group with a nod, propelling them into rapid departure again.
As the chaos beyond the city had largely settled, the Broken Valley Alliance's Grand Army clashing vigorously against the witch demon's undead forces in a temporary deadlock, Old Gary and Yu Yu trailed Leo Ray unhesitatingly this round.
All grasped the stakes plainly: eliminating the chief schemer buried in the massive city's depths would render the remaining witch demons harmless, with triumph or defeat resting on this pivotal move!
In tandem with their hasty maneuvers, upon reentering the Forest White Giant City's confines, the group observed the erosive death mist had truly cleared.
Shortly thereafter, as the elated party arrived back at their departure point, astonishment widened every eye.
The zone lay barren now, littered solely with dispersed bone fragments and rusted, ruined gear scattered thickly over the soil, evidently hailing from diverse groups.
"What is this...?!
This spectacle left not just Leo Ray, but the pink-hooded one, Frank, Old Gary, and Yu Yu all crying out in shock.
The view confronting them led to a single inevitable truth—they had arrived a moment too delayed, the deadly black forbidden mist having already devoured their allies' bastion.
Amid the collective dismay, from the massive city's profound interior, a foreboding tone boomed across the heavens: "You surviving pests, your efforts have crumbled to dust, and ignorance shall exact a fatal toll upon you!"
