Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2921: 1598: Mutation and Another Mutation

Chapter 2921: Chapter 1598: Mutation and Another Mutation

Sudden, explosive arcane sounds erupted from beyond the confines of the Cultivation Academy without any advance warning, causing the very ground to shudder violently.

The abruptness of these occurrences left everyone in a state of bewilderment, completely uncertain about their origin.

One fact, however, was undeniably clear: the direction from which these sonic booms originated pointed directly towards the Broken Wing Kingdom.

“Safeguard our King!”

In the very next instant, attended only by a standard contingent of personal guards, a formidable aura began to surge relentlessly around the Broken Wing King. At least twenty individuals at the half-step Tier 7 cultivation level materialized, forming a protective circle around their central charge.

This defensive retinue comprised not only elite warriors from the Broken Wing Clan itself but also pledged subordinates such as the Giant Horned King and the Tusk King, who promptly echoed the protective measures.

The majority of the assembled adversaries fixed their gazes with extreme vigilance upon all the monarchs, their eyes constantly sweeping across the surroundings.

Furthermore, around the vicinity of the Broken Wing King, multiple radiant defensive arrays flickered into existence, presenting an impenetrable facade akin to staunch fortresses, offering comprehensive security.

Concurrently, beneath the other monarchs, a multitude of extensive arcane traps began to illuminate in sequence, unleashing auras of immense destructive potential.

It would be no overstatement to claim that should these arcane traps be fully activated, the entire assembly would be instantly plunged into an absolute Purgatory Abyss.

“This individual was indeed well-prepared.”

Leo Ray’s brow furrowed slightly as his gaze fell upon the arcane traps beneath his feet, emanating waves of destructive energy.

While his own prodigious speed would allow him to easily evade these traps before their full activation, the majority of monarchs and their retinue present would struggle to achieve such rapid evasion, with predictable dire consequences.

As the other monarchs surrounding Leo Ray perceived the potential for their circumstances to shift drastically at any moment, they all secretly amplified their internal Qi, further intensifying the already tumultuous atmosphere.

“Stand down. The arcane detonations did not occur here, so why this heightened state of alert?”

The Broken Wing King’s expression darkened, and he sternly admonished the guards encircling him.

His displeasure stemmed partly from the premature revelation of his security measures and partly from his desire to prevent the escalating tension from spiraling further out of control.

Ultimately, these monarchs were his subjects, and any outbreak of conflict among them could lead to an unmanageable situation.

Upon receiving the Broken Wing King’s sharp reprimand, the guards and allied figures like the Giant Horned King retreated to their designated positions. Simultaneously, the defensive arrays and arcane traps were systematically withdrawn.

As the overwhelming, hostility-laden energy fluctuations dissipated one by one, the entire area gradually reverted to its former state.

“Your Majesty, sudden and unidentified arcane explosions occurred in various sectors of the Royal Capital, but the situation has been entirely contained!”

A subordinate officer of the Broken Wing Clan arrived promptly, addressing the Broken Wing King with utmost respect: “We are currently conducting a thorough investigation to identify the instigator!”

Although the officer deliberately modulated his voice to a lower volume, Leo Ray, subtly augmented by the Power of Divine Grace, apprehended every word with perfect clarity.

“Should you fail to apprehend the perpetrator, you are aware of the repercussions.”

The Broken Wing King gestured dismissively, his countenance betraying no emotion.

Observing the Broken Wing Clan officer depart as if treading on thin ice, Leo Ray’s face assumed a thoughtful expression.

Mere moments prior, he had received intelligence from Ice Stone City, confirming that multiple locations within the enemy’s stronghold were indeed engulfed in flames, accompanied by several spontaneous arcane detonations.

Despite their limited scope, these incidents were rapidly brought under control by the dispatched Broken Wing Clan soldiers, yet the disturbance was significant, and Leo Ray had already perceived its underlying currents earlier.

“For such a substantial enemy stronghold, the scale of these disturbances is clearly quite minor. And occurring at this precise juncture… Could the instigator's objective have been to deliberately draw attention, thereby exposing the defensive arrangements of this Cultivation Academy?”

Leo Ray nodded subtly, deep in contemplation.

It was not difficult to surmise that another clandestine force might be operating under the cover of darkness tonight, aiming to eliminate the Broken Wing King, the very source of all their troubles.

“This indeed presents favorable news. Then this clandestine force must be the same entity that previously contracted the Dark Elf Hunter, correct?”

Leo Ray’s gaze inadvertently shifted towards the young Frost Fire Giant King. Though he stood passively, lacking any overt actions and unlike his fellow subordinates, he displayed no outward signs of allegiance. Yet, he appeared remarkably composed when contrasted with the other monarchs.

“It seems the probability of this individual being an ally is indeed high. However, considering his personal strength, it appears somewhat insufficient, hardly playing a pivotal role. Under such circumstances, if all that transpired moments ago was truly his doing, then what could be his underlying motive?”

“Given his status as a lone half-step Tier 7 powerhouse, even aware of the Broken Wing King’s machinations, the odds of him intervening would be slim. Could it be that there are other powers aiding us besides him?”

As Leo Ray pondered this, the Broken Wing King swiftly regained his composure, his piercing gaze sweeping across the assembled monarchs.

His murderous aura intensified as he declared with icy resolve, “You’ve likely deduced the origin of the magical detonations. It is the capital of the Lonely King. Through all these passing years, not a single soul has dared to defile the Lonely King's capital.”
