Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2810: 1540: The Fierce Battle Nears Its End (2)

“Was that truly the Human Majesty who triggered that Anemo Magic Scroll at such a pivotal juncture?”

Administrator I, possessing remarkably keen vision, blurted out, “But a standard Tier 6 scroll wouldn't provide such a massive velocity boost. Could that possibly be a Seventh Stage Magic Scroll?!”

The moment these words left the Administrator’s lips, the nearby Market Guards exchanged glances; the expressions hidden behind their opaque Battle Helmets were painted with sheer disbelief.

As agents of the Trade Guardians belonging to the Ten Thousand Clans’ Shadow Market, they possessed a deep understanding that a Seventh Stage Magic Scroll was an item rarely seen even among second-tier organizations, typically remaining exclusive to the most powerful, first-class forces.

Considering the Human Clan had only just arrived in the Outer Region, from what source could they have obtained such a rare Seventh Stage Magic Scroll?

Stunned, both the Administrator and his guards fixed their gaze upon the shimmering figure of Leo Ray, momentarily struck speechless.

Setting aside the mystery of the item's origin, the very fact that this Human Emperor acted with such decisive boldness was enough to inspire awe.

After all, the value inherent in such a scroll remained vast enough to tempt any leader of a secondary power, often regarded as the ultimate lineage treasure for entire clans.

There was no escaping the truth: ever since this Human Emperor set foot into the market exchange, their perceptions had been shattered repeatedly by his capacity for such unimaginable feats.

Center stage, Leo Ray watched as his blade, Rolanddel, rent the very air asunder, striking Hollis II with unrelenting precision.

Just as the Administrator had surmised, Leo Ray had indeed deployed a Tier 7 speed-enhancing Anemo Magic Scroll, sourced directly from the vast warehouses of Observation City.

According to the accompanying intelligence, the compatibility of this particular scroll was exceptional, designed to stack with other supportive incantations, naturally including the buffs currently empowering Leo Ray.

“However, this scroll only enhances my mobility, leaving my fundamental strike speed largely unchanged.”

Watching the labored defense of Hollis II, Leo Ray permitted himself a subtle, dissatisfied smirk.

Though he had pushed his attack frequency to its absolute limit, the opponent’s massive silhouette remained as immovable as a mountain, effortlessly neutralizing his onslaught.

The vast majority of his strikes were deflected by the Giant Axe, and those that managed to bypass the steel were stopped dead by the opponent’s obscenely dense Energy Barrier.

“My Lord, this adversary relies on several stubborn defensive techniques and likely hides a secret method to fortify his Energy Barrier. That double layer of reinforcement effectively transforms him into an indestructible fortress,” Sheila remarked, her brow furrowed as she struggled to keep the volatile Rax and Payton in check.

She added, “How shall we proceed?”

Sheila understood perfectly that Leo Ray only managed to shift the momentum against Hollis II thanks to the Seventh Stage scroll's potency. Once that effect dissipated, their advantage would likely evaporate.

“Do not be concerned. Forget not that I possess more than a single Seventh Stage Scroll,” Leo Ray replied, maintaining his poise. “We simply require the perfect moment for a killing blow.”

“I await your command, my Lord.”

Hearing this, Sheila’s expression softened as she returned her focus to the restless duo of Rax and Payton, who remained too intimidated by the speed of Leo Ray and her Elemental Bullets to launch any meaningful disruption.

“Humans, do you genuinely believe a mere trick will suffice to fell me?”

A resonant, deep voice boomed from the unshakable, statue-like form of Hollis II. “It is a pity; your attacks remain futile against me, regardless of how fast you move!”

Despite his outward bravado, the inner heart of Hollis II was in a state of chaotic panic.

As a combatant of his caliber, the Half-Titan recognized that a Seventh Stage Magic Scroll had indeed been deployed, allowing his enemy to evade his own finisher.

Even if one were to tear the entire Half-Titan Kingdom to its foundations, acquiring such a scroll would remain an impossibility. In truth, throughout their history since the Blank Era, there were virtually no records of a Half-Titan ever possessing a Seventh Stage Magic Scroll.

Yet, this was exactly the sort of trump card they had thirsted for across generations—a weapon to finally overcome the Stone Giants.

To see a Human emperor wield such a treasure and activate it without hesitation was, quite simply, madness.

Furthermore, the Half-Titan noticed that the blade Leo Ray carried could stand against his own ancestral Tier 6 Giant Axe, confirming it was similarly Tier 6 quality. This was not the reach of a clan from the hinterlands. This Emperor possessed strength rivaling his own, a prospect he found terrifying to contemplate.

Stifling his apprehension, Hollis II wore a grim, scowling mask.

Regardless, the Human could not pierce his defenses. As long as he survived until the buff subsided, the initiative would belong to him once more.

Hollis II briefly considered the possibility of the emperor owning a second Seventh Stage Scroll, but he quickly dismissed the thought as utter absurdity.

“I refuse to believe this Human has the means for a second Seventh Stage Scroll!”

With that resolve, a flicker of cold disdain returned to his aged features.

After all, the Half-Titans had dominated the Outer Region for eons; for a fledgling Human Clan to challenge such a colossus was a fool’s errand.

As this thought crossed the mind of Hollis II, he channeled the freezing brilliance of his Giant Axe, shifting aggressively from a defensive posture to a ferocious assault.

“The opening I desired has finally arrived!”

Observing the lapse in the Titan’s guard, Leo Ray dropped low to skirt the massive blow and discarded his spent scroll to activate a new one, pulsing with vivid, violet energy.

Boom!

A deafening resonance shattered the quiet, as blinding lightning saturated the Banquet Hall, swallowing Hollis II whole.

Administrator I watched in awe as a titanic hand formed of pure electrical current erupted from the void, clamping onto the completely bewildered, struggling form of Hollis II.

As the violet radiance faded, the entire audience stood petrified.

The previously invincible Hollis II was now reduced to a half-kneeling position, his Energy Barrier decimated, trailing wisps of dark smoke, while Leo Ray hovered over him, his blade steady against the Titan’s trembling throat.

The scroll Leo Ray had activated was the Seventh Stage restraint-type spell known as Thunder God’s Grip.

It was a standard, albeit formidable, tool meant to bind individuals; had he utilized a strictly offensive scroll, Hollis II might have been obliterated entirely.

Leo Ray’s actions were so fluidly executed that many believed he had personally breached the Titan’s defenses in a singular, calculated strike.

With the lethal aura of the magic still lingering in the air, the hall fell into a profound, suffocating silence. All eyes remained anchored to the scene, chest heaving and breath catching in the throat of every spectator.

The conclusion, at last, was beyond dispute.
