Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2845: 1559: The Climax of the Fierce Battle and the Return

“Little ants, your bluffs are utterly useless!”
Within the treacherous underground chamber, the malevolent voice turned even frostier, booming wildly: “Become the prey of terror for this throne!”
As the foe's haughty and scornful words rang out, the earth dragons vaulted into the air, blotting out the sky, their energy-clad claws and fangs mere moments from breaching our fractured Absolute Defense!
Suddenly, ominous black glows flared on the foreheads of the infested earth dragons, their faces contorted in disdain, savage bloody mouths dripping saliva aimed at each of us, poised for a massacre.
These earth dragons could shatter armor forged by the dwarf clan's top artisans with a single bite, and boosted by ‘Corrosion,’ their menace skyrocketed; not even the sturdiest energy shields could endure their mad onslaught for long!
Lila and Kira couldn't help gulping at the sight.
Should the Absolute Defense Barrier break, we'd be instantly swarmed by the earth dragon horde and ‘Corrosion’ surging from every direction!
Just as despair gripped the stone giant sisters, Leo Ray, not far off, flipped his hand to reveal an ancient magic scroll, activating it without delay.
The moment Leo Ray triggered the scroll, a faint golden energy ripple burst forth.
Everywhere the ripple passed, earth dragons lunging from above or rampaging below recoiled as if punched by an invisible giant hammer, shrieking in agony as they tumbled back.
In that chaos, numerous unwary Tier 5 earth dragons and even some regular Tier 6 ones saw their forehead crystals explode, black-scaled heads and torsos erupting mid-flight into stinking black ooze before crashing down.
Stronger infested earth dragons survived but writhed in torment on the ground, colossal forms thrashing and flipping belly-up, unleashing a symphony of piercing wails.
Almost instantly, the ferocious earth dragon pack crumbled, their savage momentum vanished.
The ‘Corrosion’ disintegrated on contact, bursting apart into black sludge remnants that swiftly vaporized entirely.
“Wha-what's going on?!”
Lila and Kira stared in shock, eyes bulging, faces etched with incredulity.
Right then, the stone giant sisters spotted Leo Ray clutching what looked like a scroll, and an unbelievable spectacle erupted.
Upon second thought, that mysterious energy wave had indeed emanated from the scroll; yet a scroll that damaged ‘Corrosion’ was beyond their wildest knowledge!
Even more astonishing was its devastating power!
Beyond their amazement, Lila and Kira felt a rush of relief after the peril, clueless on the details but certain that Your Majesty of the Humans had saved us once more!
As the stone giant sisters watched intently, Leo Ray's eyes shifted to a fresh golden barrier now enveloping our Absolute Defense Barrier.
This new golden shield spanned much of the cavern, its oppressive force delivering crushing strikes to the infested earth dragons and ‘Corrosion’ alike.
Thus, the barrier's source was obvious: the Extermination Array Scroll Leo Ray obtained from old Book.
Leo Ray had chatted with the enemy earlier solely to stall and set up the annihilation array.
Honed by the Observation City clash, Leo Ray could now erect this unique barrier undetected, using the final Extermination Array Scroll as the Array Eye's core.
Hence, the array ignited fully the instant the last scroll activated.
“I've used 10 Extermination Array Scrolls in total to stretch the barrier this wide, and triggering it at the brink was to trap as many infested earth dragons and ‘Corrosion’ inside as possible.”
Leo Ray swept his gaze around, commanding the elites to finish off the downed foes while surveying the battlefield.
Wherever he looked, even the once-threatening half-step Tier 7 earth dragons flailed to stand, bellowing in frenzy.
The Extermination Array Scroll's suppressive might exceeded expectations; deployed in Observation City, it wouldn't have hit so hard.
This made sense—the ‘Corrosion’ there had clashed with the annihilation array repeatedly, building resistance; but here, unused to it, the ‘Corrosion’ fell easily.
“From old Book’s briefing, I know ‘Corrosion’ holds vast growth potential, potentially spawning bizarre variants with eerie, fearsome powers.”
