Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2697: 1482: Confrontation and Clash

As Sina and Loris traded looks, their minds churned with chaos, appearing utterly bewildered.

Ever since encountering the Human Sovereign, he had pulled them through one disaster after another, without question.

Now, with the Human Sovereign's elite guards stationed here, they were supposed to protect them properly, but instead, this unexpected disaster struck.

Staring at those shriveled massive trees, how on earth could they justify this to the Human Sovereign?

With these thoughts swirling, both of them felt a wave of guilt, shaking their heads in despair.

“Leaders, the devil’s temptation has abruptly stopped, which probably indicates the Sovereign is already clashing with the foe.”

Grey Elder, fully aware that the devil couldn’t handle multiple tasks at once, pressed on with haste, “Even though the guards are worn out now, we can’t afford to pause.”

“That makes sense, but why didn’t the Human Sovereign link up with us first before charging straight into Giant City’s core?”

Loris gathered his wits, a hint of suspicion flickering across his leonine features.

“Rainforest leader, we don’t have the luxury to ponder that at the moment.”

Sina, setting aside old grudges with the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, nodded decisively, “We need to rush to the Human Sovereign’s aid without delay!”

“Exactly, and don’t leave us behind!”

A handful of Broken Valley Alliance commanders advanced, geared up and eager to move.

Right away, they organized into formation with no delay, then bolted directly toward Giant City’s inner reaches.

Merely moments earlier, in the shadowy depths of Bone Hall, Leo Ray and his companions confronted the demon, unfolding a starkly different scenario.

When the colossal shadow unveiled its twelve crimson eyes, Leo Ray and the others sensed an crushing burden upon them, as if a massive peak bore down, nearly forcing them to their knees.

The tremendous force from overhead felt like an unseen dark claw gripping their throats, making every breath a struggle.

Those aligned rows of bloody eyes in the shadow sent shivers through them, nothing like any beast they’d ever witnessed, radiating an eerie, twisted aura beyond words.

“A mere demigod, yet you dare call yourself a god—how utterly ridiculous!”

The figure in the pink hood clenched their jaw, unleashing a torrent of fierce aura to push back against the enemy’s oppressive might once more.

However, this round, the shadow zeroed in on the pink-hooded figure, its lines of scarlet giant eyes locking onto them in an instant.

In that fleeting moment, the figure absorbed a brutal strike, their sturdy Energy Barrier shattering outright, pinning them in place while space warped clearly from Spatial Confinement.

Witnessing this, Frank and old Gary shivered with dread, understanding the pink-hooded one was their mightiest half-step Tier 7 fighter, bordering on demigod status, yet felled by a single blow. Against such a terrifying enemy, how could they possibly fight?

In the midst of the team’s astonishment, a soothing yet unyielding energy erupted from Leo Ray, beginning to resist the foe’s pressure in the air above.

Right away, relief washed over everyone, and even the pink-hooded figure grasped the opportunity to shatter the restraint, restoring their mobility.

Undoubtedly, this was the Power of Divine Grace, a key weapon in Leo Ray’s arsenal against this threat.

Thanks to explanations from Elder Bing and Sina as God’s Chosen, Leo Ray knew this force similarly repelled demons, much like Holy Power opposes Forbidden Power.

Initially, from earlier discussions, Leo Ray intended to deploy the Divine Grace for an ambush, but the situation left no choice now.

“Hmm?”

The shadow’s eyes shifted, zeroing in on Leo Ray, its deep tone laced with surprise, “A puny human insect, yet you command such potent Divine Grace, even cleaner than that of many past God’s Chosen.”

Here, the shadow’s voice sharpened, icily declaring, “But what of it? In those days, hordes of God’s Chosen perished by my hand!”

With those words, the shadow’s array of crimson pupils narrowed, and a barrage of dark eroding orbs plummeted from on high, hurtling straight at Leo Ray!

“Human youth, share your power with me!”

The pink-hooded figure shouted toward Leo Ray, who was ready and promptly extended Divine Grace to envelop all those around.

Empowered by Leo Ray’s Divine Grace, the pink-hooded figure’s aura skyrocketed, their magic wand tracing intricate patterns in the air to erect a see-through spatial shield, detonating the howling black corrosive orbs against it without harm.

“So this is what you depend on? Pathetic nonsense.”

The shadow’s gaze swept over, assessing Leo Ray and the pink-hooded figure briefly, then it uttered darkly, “Now, feel the true might!”

As the shadow finished speaking, a bizarre energy wave rippled out, pulsing violently across the skies and earth, densifying the atmosphere and igniting a profound unease in their souls.

This odd force, Leo Ray recognized vividly from his battle with Malevolent Deity’s Chosen Son, clearly the Evil God’s Favor that rivaled Divine Grace.

Still, the shadow’s version of Evil God’s Favor overwhelmed all, dwarfing what Malevolent Deity’s Chosen Son wielded.

Beneath its sway, Leo Ray noticed his circulating Divine Grace being stifled, its pace visibly hampered.

Although in principle Divine Grace held the upper hand, the enemy’s sheer dominance erased that edge.

As Evil God’s Favor rampaged unchecked, before the group could respond, innumerable slender vine-resembling tendrils burst forth from the gloom in every direction, lunging at them!

The enveloping darkness, combined with the foe’s aura scrambling the ambient energy currents, kept the team oblivious until the tendrils were nearly upon them.

Yet at that close range, evasion proved impossible; they could only stare as the deadly onslaught closed in to devour them.
