Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2700: 1484: Embarrassment and Surprise
Previously on Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong...
This unexpected turn of events caused cold sweat to break out among everyone as they scrambled to evade the wildly thrashing roots, their expressions etched with utter desperation and powerlessness.
In particular, the figure in the pink hood tried several times to lend a hand to Leo Ray, only to be blocked each time, making the freshly reformed energy barrier grow weaker and weaker.
Frank's skill in countering the unique abilities of the undead proved barely useful against this demon, leaving him utterly helpless.
It was obvious to all that the foe had hoisted Leo Ray up, fully encased, for one clear purpose: to consume him whole!
As expected, once Leo Ray was raised right under the demon's enormous head, riddled with blood-red eyeballs, a deep, gaping mouth lined with endless razor-sharp teeth—like a ring of buzzing chainsaws—yawned open and engulfed Leo Ray together with the Absolute Defense Barrier.
The instant Leo Ray vanished into that yawning abyss, the sharp cracking noise of the Absolute Defense Barrier breaking echoed clearly for all to hear.
“Your Majesty of the Humans (Kid)!”
Witnessing this horror, the pink-hooded individual, old Gary, and the rest all cried out in unison.
They watched as the demon's massive jaws began to seal shut, the neatly aligned blood-red eyeballs starting to shine with a more sinister glow.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Right then, a series of booming magical blasts erupted one after another within the demon's vast mouth, sparking a faint ray of hope in the eyes of the despairing group.
Even trapped in such peril, Your Majesty of the Humans refused to surrender, fighting back fiercely until the bitter end!
Yet the demon showed no sign of distress, its face twisting into a malicious grin as it quickened the pace of clamping its jaws together.
In that very moment, the group could feel the recognizable energy surge from the deepening maw, which faded bit by bit as the mouth shut tight until it disappeared entirely.
Suddenly, it was like a bolt of lightning had hit them; everyone yelled Leo Ray's name over and over in frantic agony.
This demon truly possessed the might of a seventh-stage being, just a step below godhood—a terrifying demigod.
No matter Leo Ray's prowess, his strikes topped out at tier 6; how could he hope to challenge a demigod alone?
What's more, even with all his defensive tricks, Leo Ray could only fend off tier 6 assaults; surviving a demigod's consumption was impossible.
As these grim thoughts raced through their minds, a wave of total hopelessness washed over them.
One had to admit that for the pink-hooded person, old Gary, and Frank, their journey through countless obstacles to reach this point owed almost everything to Leo Ray's support and motivation.
To put it more accurately, it was Leo Ray's very presence and the Power of Divine Grace he bestowed that instilled the bravery and assurance needed to confront the demon directly, no matter its overwhelming strength.
But now, that soothing yet unyielding power had been snuffed out in the act of consumption, stripping away their final spark of optimism and plunging them into a bottomless pit.
“Hehe, now it’s your turn.”
The demon's eerie, chilling voice echoed from every direction, its mocking laughter booming across the sky and ground.
Yet as the demon's chuckles started up again, a far louder explosion cut them short.
With a heavy “thud,” thick plumes of dark smoke burst from the corner of the demon's twisted mouth, making its colossal frame shudder and even pausing its blockade against the other assaults from their side.
Soon after, the sealed abyssal mouth forced itself open once more, and Leo Ray's form, wrapped in violet glow, shot forth.
This startling development left everyone on their team staring in shock, hardly able to trust what they were seeing.
Exactly how Your Majesty of the Humans pulled it off remained a mystery, but he had clearly survived the demon's devouring abyss and broken free from its grasp!
As wonder filled their thoughts, Leo Ray touched down solidly, standing once again in front of the group.
Strands of black smoke curled from Leo Ray's frame too, his energy barrier now perilously thin and coated in a repulsive, odorous slime that hissed with “sizzling” corrosion, clearly eroding the barrier and sending up more dark fumes.
“Human kid, are you alright?”
The pink-hooded person hurried over first, ignoring the slime clinging to Leo Ray, while Frank and the others trailed right behind, their faces full of worry.
“I’m fine, if it had been any later, I probably would have been completely corroded by the opponent.”
Quickly discarding the damaged energy barrier and letting the slime drop to the earth, Leo Ray swallowed a dose of Magic Medicine to restore his power, as a fresh energy barrier started forming around him anew.
“Human kid, how on earth did you break free?”
Noting that Leo Ray was safe, the pink-hooded person asked right away.
“I just used a trump card that could rival a seventh-stage attack.”
Leo Ray, heart still pounding, brushed the sweat from his brow, the harrowing moment from seconds before flashing in his mind.
Knowing he was on the verge of being eaten, he had released the Power of Divine Grace and the Stone Spirit’s special power, unleashing his mightiest sword techniques and spells, then triggering a barrage of top-tier 6 single-target Attack Magic Scrolls, all to no effect.
