Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2952 1614: Shifting Winds of Battle (Part 2)
Previously on Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong...
Observing the unfolding situation, Leo Ray's brow furrowed slightly. After engaging in a demanding confrontation with the Broken Wing King, his reserve of seventh-order attack scrolls had dwindled significantly. Even if he could vanquish the four immediate adversaries, confronting the Broken Wing King and the remaining two formidable Winged warriors would prove exceedingly challenging.
"Struggle? How absurd. A fight to the death is precisely what I yearn for. As long as there's still breath in our bodies, hope shall never be extinguished."
As the four imposing Winged powerhouses rapidly advanced, Leo Ray's expression grew grave, his mind working at breakneck speed. Suddenly, a deep, resonant voice, unfamiliar yet commanding, pierced the air: "If you dare lay a hand on the Human Lord, you must first contend with me!"
The moment the words left the speaker's lips, an incredibly robust and agile figure surged forward, positioning itself directly in Leo Ray's path.
Focusing his vision, Leo Ray was struck with considerable surprise to realize that the intervening figure was none other than the young Frost Fire Giant King from earlier!
From the commencement of the conflict with the Broken Wing King, Leo Ray had been meticulously observing the reactions of the opposing faction. Various indicators suggested they might develop into potential allies.
However, even when Noth made his appearance, the young Frost Fire Giant King, while refraining from aiding the other subordinates in supporting the tyrant, had remained in the background, head lowered, taking no action.
Initially, Leo Ray had concluded that the Frost Fire Giant King would not intervene further. Yet, unexpectedly, at this precise moment, he chose to step forward.
A sense of astonishment bloomed within Leo Ray, along with another startling observation.
The young Frost Fire Giant King now exuded a significantly more imposing aura, having apparently attained the half-step tier 7 cultivation level. Unless he had been deliberately concealing his true strength all along, he must have employed some potent, temporary power-boosting secret spell.
Following in the wake of the young Frost Fire Giant King, the half-step tier 7 Frost Fire Giant Elder also materialized, joining forces with the former to obstruct the attack vector of the four Winged combatants, creating a shield for Leo Ray.
"Broken Wing King, what is the meaning of this?"
Witnessing this turn of events, Noth's countenance became increasingly somber.
As a Winged expert who had been operating behind the Broken Wing King, Noth was well aware that the Frost Fire Giants were indeed subordinates of the Broken Wing King. Their current defiance, however, left him momentarily bewildered and caught off guard.
"You worthless cur, a mere lackey of the Lonely King. Not only do you refuse to act at this critical juncture, but you also fawn over these insignificant insects. Do you court death?"
In response to Noth's perplexed inquiry, the Broken Wing King's expression darkened further. He directed a cold, menacing shout towards the Frost Fire Giant King: "If you refuse to fight for the Lonely King now, once these traitors are dealt with, your Frost Fire Giants will undoubtedly face the Lonely King's unending fury!"
"Were it not for your desire to enslave us, you would have likely annihilated us entirely by now, wouldn't you?"
The young Frost Fire Giant King met the Broken Wing King's furious gaze directly, his voice steady, neither subservient nor arrogant: "For years, we have awaited an opportunity to shatter your tyrannical reign. Now, His Majesty the Human has presented us with a beacon of hope. Naturally, we shall not falter!"
Having spoken, the young Frost Fire Giant King ceased paying attention to the contorted expression of the Broken Wing King. He turned instead towards Leo Ray, inclining his head with profound respect. "Your Majesty the Human, your courage and wisdom are truly commendable. You stand firm even when faced with overwhelming adversity. You have inspired me to find my own courage to stand. You are right; as long as we still draw breath, hope will never be extinguished!"
"Take them down for me!"
Noth's features twisted in frustration. Before the enraged Broken Wing King could formulate a response, Noth gestured for the four Winged powerhouses to engage the two Frost Fire Giants.
"Prepare to face the might of the Frost Fire Giants!"
The young Frost Fire Giant King's colossal fist, wreathed in flame, generated a tempestuous gust as it descended like a veritable mountain upon his foe.
Simultaneously, the Frost Fire Giant Elder, emanating an intense aura of frost, unleashed a barrage of icy projectiles towards their adversaries.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A symphony of deafening explosions echoed as powerful waves of energy rippled outward from the initial impact.
Despite the swift and ferocious assault from the Frost Fire Giant King and Elder duo, particularly the young Frost Fire Giant King whose power and speed demonstrably surpassed that of typical half-step seventh-order cultivators, the four Winged experts proved exceptionally resilient. The Winged warriors swiftly regained the initiative, forcing the giant pair onto the defensive.
Fortunately, Fei'er intervened, her longsword a blur, managing to momentarily hold back one of the Winged combatants. This allowed the young Frost Fire Giant King to engage two of the enemies, while the elder giant contended with the remaining one.
With Noth included, the ten fierce Winged powerhouses had all been engaged by Leo Ray and his allies, stabilizing the overall confrontation.
"Why are you all lingering? Hurry to the fray!"
Witnessing the continued assault without shifting the battle's momentum, Noth’s arrogance and disdain transformed into frustration as he bellowed at the Broken Wing King and the other two Winged experts.
Heeding his command, the trio didn't falter; they drew their keen blades and charged forward with ferocious expressions.
Among them, the Broken Wing King, who had faced repeated defeats at Leo Ray's hands, widened his bloodshot eagle eyes, brimming with killing intent, and unleashed a brutal assault upon Leo Ray.
"Everyone, this is our final opportunity. Will you continue to endure oppression and exploitation by the Broken Wing King? Observe your own territories; they are already scarred and wounded!"
The young Frost Fire Giant King, gritting his teeth while locked in combat with two ferocious Broken Wing powerhouses, addressed the neutral monarchs. "His Majesty of the Humans has extended a path to hope for us. The tyrant is at his wit's end. What are you waiting for? This is our last chance!"
"Shatter the tyrant's crown!"
Upon hearing the young Giant King’s rallying cry, those neutral monarchs, who had been poised to act, could no longer restrain themselves. With roars of fury, they surged towards the three Broken Wing King members, swiftly plunging into battle.
These neutral monarchs had already covertly acquired the weapons of the fallen Broken Wing elite guards, catching the three Broken Wing King members unaware in their charge.
It must be remembered that the neutral monarchs numbered over a dozen half-step seventh-level experts, while the Broken Wing King only commanded three. In a contest of equal strength, regardless of the trio's prowess, they quickly found themselves at a disadvantage.
Before long, one of the Winged powerhouses, caught off guard, plummeted to the ground with a shriek under the combined assault of our four combatants, intensifying the dire situation for the remaining two Broken Wing King members.
"Mere ants from second-tier factions, how dare you act so presumptuously!"
Noth, already exasperated, observed the worsening turn of events and erupted in fury. "Today, every single one of these insignificant pests shall perish here!"
With that enraged declaration, three potent magical scrolls emanated from his grasp, their immense power unleashed.
In the following instant, resplendent summoning arrays materialized from nothingness, projecting three formidable auras skyward. The tempestuous winds they generated even buffeted our ordinary Tier 6 experts engaged in distant clashes and those elite Broken Wing guards, tossing them aloft as well.
As the summoning arrays' brilliance subsided, three Winged demon puppets, emanating terrifying auras, materialized before all eyes, their sheer presence causing the very fabric of space to warp and churn.
"Three demigod-level golem puppets?"
Moli watched the unfolding spectacle with utter astonishment, exclaiming in disbelief.
One should recall that not long ago, within the Barrier Area of the Moon Shadow Deer People, a single Deer-man Ancestor had thrown us into chaos. The appearance of three such entities simultaneously was beyond comprehension!
All other powerhouses present were gripped by an uncontrollable wave of dread, breaking out in a cold sweat.
For individuals at the half-step seventh-order cultivation, true Tier 7 demigod powerhouses represented an unyielding and terrifying presence.
