Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2762: 1516: Sudden Changes

“Weak insects, your pointless resistance concludes now. Prepare to be trampled beneath our hooves!”
A centaur parasite, its features contorted in scorn and derision, rapidly coordinated with the arriving parasites to establish an encircling formation.
Gazing upon those hideous and warped half-crystal visages, chills surged through the hearts of old Book, Curry, and the shivering guards alike.
Excluding Leo Ray, old Book, and the other four half-step Tier 7 powerhouses, the assembled guards scarcely amounted to half a legion, and despite all being Tier 4 or higher, they could hardly manage more than 50 Tier 6 foes.
Moreover, the enemy's imposing array undoubtedly surpassed their ability to counter.
“City Lord, what’s our next move?”
Curry gripped his Divine Stone Longbow tightly, a trace of hopelessness tinging his words.
During the intense recent clash, his left shoulder plate had been smashed, exposing a gruesome wound, clearly inflicted by an Energy Arrow, leaving his reformed Energy Barrier highly unstable. Without the Tier 6 Healing Magic Potion and Healing Scroll, he might not have managed to restore the Energy Barrier at all.
“I warned you before, not a single step back!”
Old Book showed no hesitation, his Magic Wand radiating Holy Light as innumerable warm golden specks rained down from above, swiftly restoring color to the soldiers’ ashen faces.
As he spoke, old Book instinctively cast a look toward Leo Ray beside him.
While the elderly City Lord’s expression brimmed with unyielding resolve, Leo Ray, the valiant fighter, remained his ultimate reliance.
“Sheila, activate ‘Lord’s Blessing’ and ‘Lord’s Blessing’, focus on bolstering me fully, and attempt to enhance everyone here as well.”
Following a string of grueling combats bolstered by Void Space energy, despite awareness that Sheila’s reserves were almost exhausted post-Power Activation, Leo Ray issued the order resolutely without holding back.
Leo Ray knew full well that the outcome hung in the balance at this moment.
Having endured immense efforts to return to this place, his goal was to deliver a pivotal reversal and inspiration to the ravaged city!
“Understood, Lord!”
Sheila’s formidable aura erupted, a gentle yet firm energy enveloping all present, invigorating old Book, the other powerhouses, and the city guards, causing their weapons and armor to shine once more.
Empowered by Sheila’s ability, the formerly disheartened troops seized their weapons anew, and the previously disorganized ranks began to realign into orderly lines.
“Still daring to put up a desperate fight? Perish!”
The foremost centaur parasite refused to grant them any respite, and as the surround closed in, it directed a horde of parasites in a sky-obscuring assault on Leo Ray and old Book!
Instantly, the six parasite half-step Tier 7 powerhouses unleashed a torrent of murderous intent, stirring the winds and clouds, their presence utterly overwhelming.
After all, the might of one half-step Tier 7 powerhouse equaled five Tier 3 legions, making it clear that although the foes’ numbers were few, their dread aura vastly outstripped the allied forces, sufficient to trap them completely.
“Assemble, hold the line!”
The front-line commander’s strained command had barely ended when a barrage of explosive roars erupted, as Leo Ray and the four allied half-step Tier 7 powerhouses clashed head-on with the enemy’s top six.
“Insignificant bugs, courting death!”
A half-step Tier 7 fishman parasite, brandishing a long spear and baring its jagged fangs, growled after Leo Ray parried the spear, launching a vicious Water Spear from its gill region straight at him.
“Child’s play!”
As Leo Ray countered in battle, Sheila responded with lightning speed, conjuring a massive Elemental Bullet that collided headlong with the freshly launched Water Spear.
Another deafening explosion rang out, water spraying everywhere, as yet another parasite charged from the flank with unstoppable force, its bloodied Longsword thrusting toward Leo Ray’s face.
It was a Divine Stone Longsword, its Divine Stone core removed, clearly belonging to a lately parasitized Divine Stone General.
Although the attacker moved with blinding quickness, Leo Ray, amplified by multiple buffs, Thunder Flash Illusion Body, and various Thunder Attribute Magic boosts, matched the pace effortlessly, deftly deflecting the deadly blow.
At that instant, the two Divine Stone Longswords locked in a deadlock mid-air, one gleaming vibrantly while the other lay dull and faded.
Leo Ray regarded the slack, more wrinkled than old Book’s face of that figure, emotions swirling within.
This white-bearded, now-parasitized Divine Stone General called Peter was Observation City’s most veteran Human Clan leader, who had fought in innumerable Ten Thousand Clans and ‘Corrosion’ conflicts, earning boundless honors and rendering immense service to the Ten Thousand Clans, only to fall prey to parasitization in the end.
Yet, this was no moment for sorrow, as Leo Ray had no leisure for further reflection, his Longsword flaring with purple Magic Radiance to momentarily repel the adversary.
