Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2702: 1485: Sheila

In the shadowy depths of the foreboding grand hall, Leo Ray clutched his longsword firmly, his expression dawning with sudden comprehension.

The peril of the moment had been intense. Even without dwelling on that abrupt voice at first, looking back now, it was clear that Little Jie’s Absolute Defense Barrier had flared with intense light right as the voice emerged.

Furthermore, an odd but recognizable energy pulse rippled from his arms. Odd since it was entirely new to him, yet recognizable because it matched the core nature of Little Jie and Xiao Jing perfectly.

At this point, the truth stood obvious. The voice probably originated from the [Stone of God] he’d acquired from Reece, the one that had remained dormant all along!

“It seems Your Excellency has realized.”

That unknown female voice echoed once more, laced with a touch of laziness and resignation: “I didn’t expect to confront a demigod-level demon right after waking up. If only I’d slept a little longer.”

“Thank you for your help just now, Your Excellency. This isn’t the moment for jests.”

Leo Ray crouched low, eyes locked on the demon’s every motion, while he swiftly exchanged thoughts with the presence in his mind: “What exactly did you do back there, Your Excellency?”

“You mean her Absolute Defense Barrier…”

Before the freshly roused Stone Spirit could complete its thought, the demon’s icy, bone-chilling bellow reverberated right over Leo Ray’s head.

“Human ant, whatever tricks you pull, I’ll smash you all into oblivion!”

With those words, the demon’s lethal pincers burst straight from the emptiness this time, slicing downward with savage force and no warning motion!

“It’s even employing spatial pull in its strikes!”

Spotting this, the hooded figure’s starlit eyes bulged wide, exclaiming: “Be careful, young human!”

Elder Gary, Frank, and the rest showed clear strain on their faces. The demon’s assault was already blisteringly swift, and this space-warping arrival made it instantaneous, offering zero chance to respond!

Sure enough, despite Leo Ray’s preparations to evade, the spatial strike hit too abruptly. Luckily, Little Jie activated the Absolute Defense Barrier once more, its wall glowing with radiant intensity.

Boom! Boom!

The demon’s pincers hammered into the brilliantly gleaming Barrier Wall at nearly the same instant, splintering the Defensive Barrier—but stopping there. It had effectively halted the onslaught.

“Scatter!”

Meanwhile, Leo Ray refused to remain a sitting target; he pulled back swiftly while yelling to the group.

Leo Ray knew full well that the pressing priority was to uncover how the newly roused Stone Spirit had empowered Little Jie’s Absolute Defense Barrier to endure the foe’s blows; this might prove crucial for the battles ahead!

“The answer is straightforward: I bolstered her Absolute Defense Barrier!”

The newly awakened Stone Spirit, facing the dire circumstances, wasted no time. Its reply swiftly echoed in Leo Ray’s ears—or rather, straight into his thoughts.

Just as the Stone Spirit finished speaking, before Leo Ray could reply, the demon—with its grotesque, contorted visage and eight spindly legs whipping up a tempest—charged after Leo Ray once again, unleashing another space-rending assault!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Amid a barrage of massive energy blasts, Little Jie, in her elf shape within Leo Ray’s embrace while channeling spells, watched her Absolute Defense Barrier flicker into existence only to crumble repeatedly, her complexion draining to ghostly white after several rounds.

Witnessing this, thick drops of sweat reformed on Leo Ray’s brow.

With the Stone Spirit’s boost, Little Jie’s Absolute Defense Barrier gained substantial power, sufficient to repel one enemy hit. However, at this rate, she’d exhaust herself soon.

“Don’t hold back, Your Excellency! Since you possess the Power of Divine Grace, step in and help!”

The roused Stone Spirit clearly recognized the issue, pressing urgently: “While I can reinforce her, she requires your power even more!”

“But I’ve already shared the Power of Divine Grace!”

Beneath the demon’s crushing pressure, Leo Ray clenched his jaw, evading as bewilderment clouded his features.

“It’s not simple sharing—it’s a unique transformation for [Stone of God] bearers and Stone Spirits!”

The Stone Spirit’s tone quickened with urgency, shifting to Little Jie: “And you, my kin, hurry and ready the Silver Moon Power and Power of the Stars!”

“What’s the Silver Moon Power and Power of the Stars?”

Confronted with these unfamiliar concepts, Little Jie fought to hold on, her ashen face brimming with puzzlement.

Little Jie wasn’t alone; Leo Ray also picked up a surge of uncertainty from Xiao Jing, who stayed nestled in his arms.

Naturally, Leo Ray himself was clueless about these novel terms.

“It appears Your Excellency and the Stone Spirits haven’t delved into the profound aspects of Divine Revelation and thus don’t grasp these. A full explanation can’t be rushed in moments!”

The Stone Spirit’s voice held a trace of frustration, then it declared firmly: “If I fall alongside you now, who can say when I’ll stir again! Very well, with the first master gone, I’ll accept you as my new master!”
