Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2707 1487: Counterattack and Fury (Part 2)
Previously on Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong...
While Yuanyuan brimmed with shock, the chaos on the battlefield intensified dramatically.
The demon's line of crimson eyes bulged wide, clearly caught off guard by how much Leo Ray's strength had exploded.
Startled, the demon's murderous aura spiked sharply, growling, "You're nothing but a puny insect— what difference does your flailing make?"
"Plenty to handle scum like you."
Right as the demon geared up for another strike, Leo Ray grabbed the upper hand this time around.
A violet glow danced in Leo Ray's hand, summoning a brilliant massive lightning bolt that plummeted from above, slamming straight at the enemy.
Yet, moments before the lightning hit the demon, it vanished abruptly, clearly swallowed by the strange dark mist shield wrapping around it, dealing zero damage at all.
Witnessing that, the group's fresh surge of hope crashed down, questioning if Leo Ray's boosted might still fell short of landing real blows on the foe.
"A flea hopping about stays a flea, no matter what."
A mocking chuckle rose from under the demon's arachnid visage, obviously scorning Leo Ray's failed strike.
Before the demon's cackle faded, an abrupt golden surge erupted from atop its skull without warning.
This round, all eyes caught it plainly: though the demon stood firm, the thick dark mist shield over its head appeared to fade just a bit.
Held in Leo Ray's embrace, the tiny elf Sheila clutched a small wand firmly, aimed right at the enemy's huge cranium, responsible for that earlier blast.
Keep in mind, as a true half-step Tier 7, Sheila—bolstered by the enhanced Stone Spirit's might—could deploy skills that pinned down the demon utterly, so this turn of events came as no shock.
"Elemental Bombardment!"
Ere the demon could respond, power swirled around Sheila, unleashing a blast rivaling a Magic Cannon's force.
"Multiple Magic Bullet!"
In the same vein, Little Jie, latched onto Leo Ray, stayed active, unleashing barrage upon barrage of magical shots.
In that instant, the demon's crown endured nonstop assault, with golden arcane blasts flashing endlessly, eroding the encircling dark mist shield even more.
Once Sheila poured out her full strength, Leo Ray also triggered Little Jie and Xiao Jing's abilities at once, allowing Little Jie—who once failed to scratch the demon—to now chip away at the enemy's protective field.
"Roar!"
Struck by the surprise onslaught, the demon turned markedly fiercer, its eight enormous limbs thrusting hard, morphing into a huge blur as it charged at Leo Ray once more.
Its claw-like appendages lashed out viciously, and while the enemy kept trying spatial tricks, the pink-hooded figure blocked them with determined effort.
Still, the enemy's pace stayed breathtaking, akin to an unstoppable colossal peak bearing down on Leo Ray, sending chills down his spine and forcing total vigilance.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Through a barrage of world-shaking power clashes, Leo Ray gritted his teeth hard and fended off every hit, but before long, he started feeling the strain.
In the end, the enemy boasted a crushing edge in raw power, and even with our team's abilities ramped up hugely, just Leo Ray could hardly hold the line up close, the burden plain to see.
All the while, Sheila and Little Jie's strikes kept coming without pause, the pink-hooded figure wove in space crushes whenever feasible, and the rest chipped in with support moves, but the demon's dark mist shield stayed solid, ruling out any straight hits on the beast.
"This monster's way harder than I thought; keep this up, and I'll drop first."
Sensing the searing pain in his near-paralyzed grip from the impacts, Leo Ray yelled at the pink-hooded figure, "Pin down its speed as much as you can— I gotta dodge now!"
Catching Leo Ray's call, the pink-hooded figure got it right away, waving their wand to etch gray spell rings one by one in the air, warping and squeezing the area near the demon.
Seizing the opening, Leo Ray ramped up his velocity fully, switching to a hit-and-run strategy.
Remember, beyond Leo Ray alone, three Stone Spirits backed him up, with two able to strike from range.
So, Leo Ray knew full well that keeping space from the enemy, while Sheila and Little Jie wore down its shield remotely, would leave the villain helpless.
As expected, our abrupt tactical shift, backed by the trio of half-step Tier 7 powerhouses and the team, shoved the demon into defense mode fast, blocking its lunges at Leo Ray, as our distant barrages dogged it mercilessly, thinning its shield further.
No denying it, Sheila's rousing had truly tipped the scales in our favor against the fiend, a feat Leo Ray hadn't pulled off earlier.
Regrettably, this edge didn't hold; spotting Leo Ray—wreathed in purple glow—slithering away like a mudfish, the demon promptly switched targets.
"Pink pest flaunting your petty tricks— as if that'll hold me back!"
Saying so, the enemy's hulking form spun suddenly, hurtling a brutal charge at the pink-hooded figure.
"Foul creature, keep dreaming if you think you'll snag me!"
Facing the oncoming spider bulk, the pink-hooded figure stayed cool, clearly tapping some speed spell, blurring into a hazy gray flash and vanishing from the enemy's sight.
Before, with mana running low, the pink-hooded figure lacked the reserves for such energy-draining haste magic.
Yet now, thanks to Sheila's boost, their mana regen sped up, spell costs dropped, and invocation time shortened, letting them deploy it freely.
At top pace, the pink-hooded figure matched Leo Ray's swiftness, ramping up the demon's frustration in no time.
Meantime, with Leo Ray's focus freed, he swiftly landed several hits on the enemy's vast frame, stoking its rage more, shattering its early calm, as angry bellows filled the chamber nonstop.
With Sheila and Little Jie's unyielding barrages persisting, the all-devouring dark mist shield thinned out more and more, clearly getting hammered hard, since the Stone of God naturally repelled demons.
"What's going on here? How can blows from simple half-step Tier 7 or Tier 6 foes disadvantage me so badly? Even stirring a hint of holy might! Back then, Demigod-tier Chosen Ones barely did that much!"
Grasping this, the demon's scarlet eyes throbbed with bulging lines, seething with utmost wrath.
Spotting that, Leo Ray stayed composed.
Truth be told, this beast had only just stirred from the Silver Moon Era, probably ignorant of the Stone of God's true nature. Plus, amid constant bootlicking from the Witch Demon Leader, this twist made sense, particularly as Leo Ray had fully tapped the Stone Spirits' core strength too.
"You human gnat— you're the one scheming in the shadows!"
The demon quickly locked its array of bloodshot eyes on Leo Ray, its tone dripping with lethal rage.
But with Leo Ray and his allies in flawless sync long ago, how would they allow the enemy an easy win?
"Demon, while we hold this ground, no more seeds of ruin and decay will sprout here, and no further innocents will feed your twisted growth."
Leo Ray's tone rang steady and powerful, booming across the chamber: "Your doom approaches."
At Leo Ray's declaration, our team's spirits skyrocketed—no words needed—while the demon, pausing briefly instead of exploding, let out a laugh, its eerie tone echoing anew through the shadowy vault.
"You swarm of bugs, you actually believe you can topple me?"
