Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2978 1628: Unbreakable and Showdown
Previously on Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong...
Within the opened Gate of the Forbidden Land, the group led by Leo Ray advanced cautiously, their footsteps echoing in the expansive stone chamber, a sense of urgency overlaying the ethereal atmosphere.
In stark contrast to the exterior, which was constructed entirely of pristine white stone in an obvious Light Elf architectural style, the interior was fashioned from pure black stone. The walls were adorned with carvings of Elves, some depicted wearing hooded caps and others clad in night-walking attire—clearly reflecting the Dark Elf aesthetic, creating a striking dichotomy.
However, this architectural contrast wasn't the most captivating element. At the very heart of the Forbidden Land rested a snow-white stone bed, intricately entwined with blooming flowers and lush shrubs. Upon this bed lay a figure, seemingly lost in profound slumber.
Billowing and coiling black mist hovered directly above the pure white stone bed. The ceaselessly surging expanse caused the ceiling of the entire chamber to flicker in and out of visibility, rendering it impossible to discern clearly.
For a fleeting moment, the sight of the pure white stone bed and the swirling black mist existing in such close proximity was profoundly bizarre, sending an unmistakable chill down one's spine.
This striking visual immediately conveyed to everyone present that this central area was undeniably the core of the Dream Space.
After mere moments, Leo Ray and his companions reached the heart of the Forbidden Land, an area spanning at least several thousand square meters. Directly before them lay the aforementioned pure white stone bed.
From this vantage point, they could now clearly observe the figure sleeping peacefully on the stone bed, her chest rising and falling with a serene, rhythmic cadence. There was no doubt—it was Anna.
Distinctly different from the Bright Elf and Dark Elf manifestations, this Anna's visage was still fair and delicate. Yet, she wore neither golden powder nor dark attire. Instead, she was adorned in an exquisite, previously unseen gray robe, exuding an aura of tranquility and grace.
"The gray robe this one is wearing actually bears the patterns of both the Dark Elf and the Light Elf. It seems this one truly is a Mad Elf, unable to even ascertain her own identity."
Xiao Jing's brow furrowed slightly, her lingering fear of the aggressive Dark Elf Anna still palpable. She communicated via mind-link, "But considering this is a Dream Space, the manifestation of such things is entirely logical."
"Precisely, this Forbidden Land, with its Light Elf exterior architecture and Dark Elf interior style, is indeed quite peculiar."
Xiao Jie concurred with a nod. "Such a bizarre scene could only occur within a dream, couldn't it?"
"You are not entirely correct, sisters. This Forbidden Land is actually situated at the nexus between Dream Space and Real space. The majority of it genuinely exists. More accurately, the entire Dream Space branches outward from this point into Real space."
The unfamiliar Stone Spirit glanced around, her expression teeming with curiosity.
"It appears that Anna in reality might be intrinsically linked to both the Light Elf and the Dark Elf. Coupled with that Dark Elf Goddess Statue hidden deep within the Underground City… could it be that these Ancient Relics do not actually originate from the Light Elf?"
Absorbing the Stone Spirits' mind-link conversation, Leo Ray found himself with no time for further contemplation. His focus shifted instead to the stone bed nearby.
The immediate objective, naturally, was to shatter the core of the Dream Space as swiftly as possible, thereby restoring all to reality.
"So, the question arises: how precisely do we break the core of the Dream Space?"
Leo Ray's gaze settled upon the slumbering Anna, and he nodded thoughtfully. "Since she is the master of this Dream Space, could it be that simply awakening her will bring everything to a close?"
"Your Excellency, awakening her is a simple matter. Leave it to this little lady! Heh, calling me a statue boss, are you, you Mad Elf!"
The unfamiliar Stone Spirit had evidently perceived Leo Ray's thoughts. A subtle glint of vengeful amusement flickered across her sun-kissed face.
She darted towards the stone bed, extending her palm as if to pinch Anna's fair cheek.
However, just as her palm was about to make contact with Anna's face, an invisible Barrier materialized abruptly, halting her advance.
"Ouch!"
The unfamiliar Stone Spirit yelped in surprise, her fingers clearly pricked by the Barrier. Her face contorted in a grimace of pain.
"Looks like this one would fit right in at a table with Moli and Scarlett."
Witnessing this, Leo Ray emitted a soft, helpless chuckle.
After all, this was the core of the Dream Space; it was naturally not left unguarded, or he would have acted already.
Feeling a touch of exasperation, Leo Ray's attention turned to the suddenly manifested Barrier.
The surface of the Barrier emanated a potent, unyielding aura, demonstrably more formidable than the Magic Restriction situated outside the Gate.
"That Mad Elf actually set a trap for me!"
Branded by a previous failure, the Stone Spirit, a being Leo Ray had only just met, clearly refused to concede defeat. Echoing her prior encounter with the Magic Restriction, she placed her palm flat against the Barrier Wall, her intent to shatter it. However, this time, her efforts, even when she resorted to using both hands, proved futile. The Barrier stood unyielding, as impenetrable as a fortress, showing not the slightest tremor. This only fueled her frustration and anxiety, her brow glistening with sweat. "Let me give it a try." Leo Ray's voice was calm as he lightly patted her shoulder. Several Tier 7 Attack Magic Scrolls materialized in his hand. Based on its palpable aura, this Barrier was undeniably at the Demigod Level. Consequently, the most expedient method to breach it would naturally involve employing Demigod Level Attacks. Having retreated a safe distance along with the Stone Spirits, Leo Ray wasted no time. A series of Demigod Attack Scrolls, imbued with immense Penetration Power, were unleashed in rapid succession, all converging on a single point of the Barrier.
