Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2766: 1518: Holding the Line and Curtain Fall

“Sheila, no matter what happens, keep defending until the golden canopy overhead seals completely!”

In the face of the surging murderous aura closing in fast, Leo Ray gripped his longsword across his torso with a single hand, lifting the Divine Stone Staff in the other. Dazzling bolts of thick thunderlight plunged from above, creating a vivid purple magical shield that slammed ruthlessly at the Fishman-led parasites.

Inside the vivid purple barrier of bolts and rumbles, clear lightning arcs echoed everywhere, born from fusing the Quintuple Thunderfall Skill and Thunder Arc Burst boosted by the Running Thunder Sky Guide.

With Leo Ray becoming ever more skilled at wielding these lightning-based incantations, aided by the Tier 6 Divine Stone Staff, he bypassed incantations entirely and even blended two spells for partial concurrent release.

Under the sky brimming with thunderlight, Sheila clutched her staff firmly with her slim fingers, unleashing a stream of elemental projectiles like rapid-fire artillery from her wand's direction, crafting an intense volley that likewise hammered the foes' path forward.

Although Leo Ray and Sheila unleashed potent long-range strikes, the foes were ultimately unmatched half-step Seventh-order powerhouses. They dispersed like ghosts in moments, merely the front Fishman parasite absorbing several hits head-on and getting shoved back briefly by Sheila’s elemental shots.

In scarcely an eye's wink, Peter’s blade morphed into myriad paths, slashing savagely first toward Leo Ray and the glowing magic crystal at his rear!

“Ross!”

Against the rival’s tempestuous onslaught, Leo Ray’s Divine Stone longsword spun a tight silver mesh, halting the full barrage.

Even though the foe had been freshly infested and acted a bit rigidly, he remained a top-tier agile fighter; his velocity was staggering, sufficient to lock Leo Ray in place briefly at minimum.

While Leo Ray clashed intensely with Peter, a pair of fresh parasites from both flanks slipped past Leo Ray and his companions, heading straight for the magic crystal.

In this pivotal instant, sturdy forms bearing massive shields obstructed the duo's route, revealed as the radiant golden-armored “Holy Judges.”

Capitalizing on the enemies' momentary halt in assault, Leo Ray called forth several additional “Holy Judges,” merging with the survivors to protect the magic crystal's area.

Yet the golem constructs' pace proved too sluggish in the end, unable to match the adversaries' quick dodges. Out of options, Leo Ray directed Sheila to block them, just managing to stall the threats and prevent nearer access to the magic crystal temporarily.

Observing Leo Ray and his allies thwarting numerous parasites' charges, Old Book and Curry let out relieved breaths.

Right then, mere seconds separated them from the canopy's full enclosure. If they endured, these foolhardy half-step Seventh-order parasites would face severe restrictions, their power dropping sharply!

As optimism flared anew in Old Book and Curry's minds, haughty chuckles cut through.

“Hahaha, who dares halt me anymore!”

The final Bearman parasite emerged sneering, brandishing a colossal sword, plummeting from the heavens to hack straight at the exposed magic crystal!

“Disaster, defeat is imminent!”

Upon spotting this, Old Book and Curry's gazes bulged with frantic powerlessness.

They lingered at a considerable remove from the magic crystal, and in that instant, even maxing out their strikes would arrive way too late to block the descending blade!

With the massive sword nearing, their voices turned raw, the brief spark in their eyes shifting to overwhelming hopelessness.

Should the array core shatter now, linked nodes elsewhere would crumble, potentially sparking a violent magical blast that erased all!

Reinstating such an immense Annihilation Array proved utterly unfeasible; the enemies wouldn't grant allies another opportunity!

“Relax, it lacks the power to damage the array core alone.”

In the depths of gloom for the Old City Lord and remaining Divine Stone General, Leo Ray’s steady tone arrived through Magic Communication.

Following Leo Ray’s statement, the inevitable huge sword hovered mere fractions from the magic crystal.

Right when the blade’s dread force neared the magic crystal, a shimmering, solid yet see-through Defensive Barrier materialized abruptly, positioned firmly between them.

Boom!

A thunderous impact rang out as the keen edge of the huge sword smashed hard against the sturdy barrier surface, unleashing a powerful energy wave that rushed outward.

Once the energy surge faded, the barrier stood unscathed.

“What’s that…?!”

Beholding this, the Bearman parasite along with Book, Curry, and the rest stared in astonishment.

Yet quickly, the first’s savage features contorted in rage, as the others erupted in frenzied joy; clearly, it was a safeguard Lord Brave had set up beforehand!

Precisely as Book and companions surmised, it truly was Leo Ray’s prior arrangement.

Upon initially triggering the Extermination Array Scroll, Leo Ray had covertly activated this Seventh-tier Defense Scroll, enhanced from Observation City’s reserves.
