Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2769: 1519: Lord's Reward (2)
Previously on Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong...
Peter shook as he rose to his feet, exerting every bit of his energy to whisper to Leo Ray, “Pardon us, Lord Brave, since we opposed you before and almost committed a terrible error. Kindly forgive us, Lord Brave.”
Once Peter’s words trailed off, the other two, including Amanda who had scarcely any power remaining, displayed clear remorse and inclined their heads in agreement.
“Old General, what’s with those words? This is my first encounter with someone curbing the grip of ‘Corrosion.’ Without your crucial aid from the three of you at that pivotal instant, how would this city enjoy the light of triumph?”
Observing Peter’s quivering aged features, Leo Ray gave a firm nod and remarked, “You stand as the real champions of Observation City; why ask for pardon?”
With that, Leo Ray experienced a swirl of feelings in his chest.
Even though his interactions with these Divine Stone Generals had been rather brief, he knew for sure that their courage and determination matched that of his finest leaders. This could well explain why the Human Clan holds the top position among the Ten Thousand Clans.
Upon hearing Leo Ray’s statement, grins finally graced the faces of Peter and his companions, and a faint voice soon reached his ears, “To battle alongside Your Excellency is our supreme privilege.”
As the voice concluded, a notifying sound slipped into Leo Ray’s ears.
[Esteemed Lord Leo Ray, the city defense reward has been delivered. Congratulations on acquiring the Lord-only Secret Treasure “Purification Purple Crystal (Tier 6 • Legend).”]
[Note: Utilize the leftover time sensibly; 1799 seconds remain before returning to your home territory.]
The moment the notifying sound rang out, Leo Ray sensed his Leather Armor pocket becoming weightier, signaling the arrival of a fresh item.
“What an unusual method for granting rewards.”
Hearing this rather inopportune notifying sound, Leo Ray naturally examined the attributes of the reward object.
[Name: Purification Purple Crystal] (Unbound)
[Grade: Tier 6 – Legend (Gold)]
[Owner: None]
[Function: Purify multiple targets infested by ‘Corrosion’ up to Tier 6, enabling those retaining awareness to achieve full restoration (recharge duration: 72 hours)]
[Note: Lord-exclusive Secret Treasure secured by Leo Ray “ID: 0013076067” in the 002398th “Lord Trial,” unusable without binding, and post-binding, solely the possessor may wield it. Should the possessor perish, this item vanishes and remains unusable by fellow lords.]
“Fully heal targets infested by ‘Corrosion’? And it handles groups of them?”
Staring at the reward’s attribute panel, Leo Ray’s gaze brightened.
While the Annihilation Array can wipe out ‘Corrosion’ effects inside a host, as Old Book noted before, it fails to undo the infestation; death follows regardless. This fresh Secret Treasure flawlessly addresses that flaw!
“Looks like Peter and the rest can be rescued, even if they’re at half-step Tier 7, exceeding the Secret Treasure’s limit, but that’s no issue for me.”
Leo Ray gave a subtle nod and promptly started the enhancement.
[Congratulations! Your “Tier 6 Secret Treasure: Purification Purple Crystal” has advanced to “Tier 7 Secret Treasure: Purification Golden Crystal”!]
Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded contentedly.
Drawing from his prior upgrade of the “Contract Purple Crystal,” all proceeded as anticipated.
Next, Leo Ray wasted no time and pulled out the freshly enhanced Lord Secret Treasure from his chest.
This resembled a droplet-shaped gem a tad smaller than the [God’s Stone], its sleek surface radiating a golden glow, with subtle dark golden magical patterns flickering occasionally, appearing utterly translucent.
“Excellent, our struggles and those of my followers up to this point have paid off.”
Leo Ray admired the cozy jewel in his grasp and channeled a thread of power into it to initiate the link.
[Congratulations on binding triumphantly! You are now the fresh possessor of the “Purification Golden Crystal (Seventh Stage • World)”!]
After the binding succeeded, Leo Ray promptly accessed the updated attribute panel for review.
[Name: Purification Golden Crystal]
[Grade: Seventh Stage • World (Dark Gold)]
[Owner: Leo Ray “ID: 0013076067”]
[Function: Purify multiple targets infested by ‘Corrosion’ up to Seventh Stage, enabling those retaining awareness to achieve full restoration (recharge duration: 24 hours)]
[Note: Lord-exclusive Secret Treasure, destined to emerge randomly following the twelve thousandth Lord Trial yet obtained by you ahead of schedule, unusable without binding, and post-binding, solely the possessor may wield it. Should the possessor perish, this item vanishes and remains unusable by fellow lords.]
“It purifies up to Seventh Stage targets, and the recharge period has dropped sharply?”
Leo Ray’s eyes sparkled; he nodded to Old Book and declared, “Old City Lord, hurry and transport the three Divine Stone Generals to the Temple Gates; we might still save them!”
“Truly?! Understood, Your Excellency!”
Noticing Leo Ray abruptly reveal a shining golden gem, Old Book had no moment to inquire and swiftly followed Leo Ray’s directive.
Leo Ray chose the temple’s core for purification since it’s a mass-effect treasure.
Now, with ‘Corrosion’ fully driven back, numerous soldiers lie dispersed across the city, some even beneath debris. Though the treasure’s scope remains unclear, positioning at the urban heart maximizes coverage, offering hope to additional infested generals.
In an instant, Leo Ray had arrived at the temple’s grand entrance.
Before the trio of nearly deceased Divine Stone Generals, Leo Ray channeled mana straight into the novel Lord Secret Treasure.
The second mana flowed in, a potent golden energy surge erupted, swiftly expanding outward in every direction.
Everywhere the golden energy touched, people sensed a soothing warmth, like basking in radiant sunshine.
Even more incredibly, the three Divine Stone Generals got fully wrapped in golden radiance, shining with dazzling intensity.
As the glow dimmed, the group’s previously pallid visages regained rosy hues, and their faint life forces surged back to strength.
“A wonder! An absolute wonder!”
Sensing the rapid revival of the three Divine Stone Generals’ vitality, Old Book could hardly trust his vision, his face beaming with intense joy.
Before long, the three Divine Stone Generals had regained complete health, their forms pulsing with powerful energy once more.
Seeing this, the gazes of the city guards toward Leo Ray shifted from admiration to adoration, nearly bowing down before him.
One must remember that across the thousand-year conflict with ‘Corrosion,’ purifying anyone once infested was unheard of!
Throughout this, Leo Ray appeared profoundly delighted.
Not just for rescuing the Divine Stone Generals from death’s door, but also because he realized the purification’s reach spanned nearly all of Observation City, evidently at Giant City scale!
This means not only will fellow suffering generals revive, but they’ll contribute immensely moving forward!
“Lord Brave’s act of saving our lives—we shall eternally remember it!”
Following this, there’s no need to detail how the three Divine Stone Generals and Old Book expressed their thanks by kneeling to Leo Ray, as he made the best use of the leftover time, consulting Old Book and the rest on combating ‘Corrosion’ drawing from this defense.
In the midst of it, he also optimized the gathering of gear from the fallen parasitic entities.
Leo Ray knew well this was a precious chance to amass knowledge and wouldn’t squander a moment.
As the moment of departure neared, Leo Ray assembled his followers and troops nearby, while Old Book and company formed a respectful line at the temple entrance, farewelling Leo Ray and his group with utmost reverence.
“Knowing Lord Brave and his companions is without doubt the pinnacle of honor and fortune in our existences!”
With those words uttered, Old Book suddenly recalled a detail and hastily addressed Leo Ray, “Oh yes, Lord Brave, there’s something else!”
