Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2843 1558: Fierce Battle and Dire Straits

In the shadowy void brimming with surging malice and murderous intent that pierced the heavens, Leo Ray stayed utterly composed amid the siege from hordes of "Corrosion" and infested Earth Dragons, promptly directing his powerful allies nearby to assemble a defensive array.

Leo Ray's steady and composed voice reached their ears, along with the distributed Power of Divine Grace, causing the anxiety gripping his mighty followers' hearts to visibly fade as they geared up for action.

"Little ants, nothing but pointless resistance."

The icy, raspy voice echoed once more, laced with scorn: "How does it feel to walk right into the trap? I crafted this death zone personally just for you! Today, you'll all get pulverized to dust amid terror and hopelessness!"

Hearing this, both Lila and Kira creased their brows once again.

Clearly, the foe had schemed for ages to wipe them out completely, with that elder Earth Dragon serving only as bait.

No doubt about it, the "Corrosion" proved deviously sly; even they hadn't foreseen tumbling directly into the enemy's snare.

With unease stirring in their hearts, the Stone Giant sisters' gazes locked onto Leo Ray simultaneously; he was now their sole hope, this young Human Clan Emperor.

"Trap?"

Facing the enemy's mockery, Leo Ray's face showed no change, replying coolly: "A trap fit for capturing prey earns the title, but otherwise, it's like digging your own pit. Do you know what yours is?"

Leo Ray's statement brought a brief silence to the area.

His intent was plain as day; he took the enemy's so-called trap with zero seriousness.

His core followers, battle-hardened from the brutal clashes at Observation City, didn't need further encouragement; though chaos swirled now like gathering storms, it paled against those ordeals.

Still, doubt flickered in Lila and Kira's eyes; despite fighting alongside Leo Ray moments ago, they wondered if his bold words were bravado or genuine assurance.

From his showing at the banquet, he didn't strike as a bluffer, yet their side held a clear disadvantage, facing the apparently unbeatable "Corrosion"—even a Seventh Stage Attack Scroll left them unscathed.

So, they couldn't fathom what trick Leo Ray had left to reverse the situation.

As the Lila sisters' minds churned with worry, the foe's haughty, sneering rasp cut through again.

"Human ants, you can spout bravado for now, but soon I'll make you our puppet and force you to dismantle all you've labored to create!"

With those words, the frigid rasp erupted in wicked laughter, brimming with smug triumph, as more parasitic Earth Dragons surged forward, their razor claws and fangs glinting coldly in the gloom.

Without question, thousands of massive beasts closing in under cover of darkness delivered crushing pressure, sending chills straight to the soul.

"You seem to know me quite well."

At the heart of his allies, Leo Ray kept his cool, arching a brow nonchalantly while ignoring the encroaching ferocious Demon Beasts.

"Human ants, you wrecked our schemes at Mist Dream Peak's Dragon Nest—forgotten already?"

The frigid rasp deepened, snarling coldly: "You're not yet on our hunt list, but you've caught our eye. Since fate crossed our paths, count yourself doomed; all of you here will perish without a trace!"

"Useless threats stop there; they don't faze me."

Leo Ray reacted just as anticipated upon hearing it.

From the Seeker's reports and intel from Observation City, he was already aware.

Thanks to the Ruins Returner's links, every "Corrosion" shared info instantly, confirming he'd piqued their interest.

While not ideal, it meant he held some power to counter these calamity sources.

"Insolent! This Magical Ley Lines surge dwarfs the Dragon Nest one, and endless numbers of us will rise—your ants will be the first feast for the disaster wave!"

The foe's maniacal cackles boomed across the dark void.

Heavy thuds of footsteps and harsh breaths from the Earth Dragons filled the air, their crimson slit-pupiled eyes glowing eerily from the shadows.

Hearing this, the Lila sisters especially widened their eyes in shock, faces draining of color.

Did the enemy's words mean the Great Catastrophe had truly ignited?!

As the Lila duo's hearts quaked, Leo Ray's serene voice broke through: "Enough posturing; with the Magic Barrier intact, you can't make a ripple. Breaching it this time cost you heavy losses, didn't it?"

Leo Ray knew full well that despite the foe's dire warnings sounding like the Great Catastrophe's onset, it was all bluster.
