Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong - Chapter 2686 1476: Footsteps Toward the Depths of Darkness (Part 2)
“These damned bastards, those were my people of the Broken Valley Alliance.”
The old man, Guy, gazed at the towering ruins, his voice filled with grief.
Meanwhile, Leo Ray held his longsword tightly in his hand, maintaining his silence. If the enemy continued like this, the next Bone Hall might be erected within the Human Domain.
It didn’t take long for the group to reach the gate of the Forest White Giant Palace. There was no city gate here; the skull-shaped building’s jawbone was wide open, leading into an unfathomable depth.
“Stay alert, let’s move.”
Leo Ray quickly cast a round of buff increases on himself and the others, then took the lead and prepared to step forward again.
“Wait, young man of the Human Clan.”
The pink hooded figure seemed to remember something and handed several fist-sized gray gems to everyone one by one, nodding slightly, “These are gems that resist Spatial Magic. They can prevent you from being forcibly transported into the Void Space, but you won’t be able to use teleportation yourself while wearing them. Although they offer some defense against Spatial Strangulation and Space Binding, their effect is very limited, especially when there is a huge power disparity.”
“Thank you, Your Excellency, this is a great help.”
Leo Ray took the gemstone and casually opened the attribute column.
[Name: Void Resistance Crystal]
[Resource Level: Tier 6 (Rare)]
[Size: 8cm]
[Purity: S+ Grade]
[Note: This is a special magic crystal, extremely precious and rare, with considerable repulsion towards the Void Space, preventing the carrier from any teleportation and providing some resistance against other spatial spells.]
“A Tier 6 rare resource? It’s on the same level as the Magic Communication Gems granted by the Administrator to the Land of Divine Favor.”
Looking at the text in the attribute column, Leo Ray’s eyes widened slightly.
It is well known that one of the most formidable tactics of top-level Space Series wielders is tearing open a rift in the Void Space and directly sucking their opponent into it. Once the rift closes, the outcome is clear.
Furthermore, the space here is extremely chaotic, giving our side almost no opportunity to use a Space Scroll, so the protective function of this crystal is undoubtedly significant.
It is also apparent that this pink hooded figure indeed has significant backing; a Tier 6 rare resource is difficult to find even in a first-class force’s Shadow Market, making its value immeasurable.
“Don’t break it, I am only lending it to you temporarily. You have to return it to me when you’re done!”
Seeing the astonished expressions of the group, the pink hooded figure reminded them once more.
Upon hearing this, the group nodded and then composed themselves, beginning to walk into the pitch-black depths of the palace.
As they proceeded, Little Jie and Youyou successively cast magic spheres for illumination, darting towards the Bone Gate one after another.
However, the extent to which the deep darkness was illuminated was very limited, as if able to absorb the light source, leaving the group to barely glimpse their surrounding environment, as if stepping into endless darkness.
Thud, thud, thud.
In the blurred and foul-smelling dark space, vast and lengthy, only the cautious footsteps of the group echoed, while the way ahead was unknown.
After an indeterminate amount of time, just as the group was meticulously detecting magic traps and staying alert to their surroundings, they suddenly noticed a pile of indistinct shadows appearing on the path ahead.
Those dense shadows stood silently, immovable, presenting only a silhouette in the darkness, barely looking humanoid; nothing else was discernible.
“What is that?”
Seeing this scene, the group cautiously raised their weapons, not daring to be careless.
“Who cares what it is, just smash it!”
The pink-hooded figure clearly lacked patience, waving a magic wand. The space densely filled with shadows immediately distorted, and the sound of stone shattering arose from all directions.
Under the pink hooded figure’s Space Strangulation, those shadows quickly disintegrated into piles of fragments on the ground.
It was only then that they realized that what seemed to be merely a pile of statues.
“Let’s keep moving.”
After Leo Ray spoke, the group resumed their steps.
Nearing the piles of residue, Leo Ray observed.
Indeed, they were statues, and one could barely discern some patterns on the fragments scattered on the ground. However, the pink hooded figure’s execution was exceptionally efficient, reducing the statues to fist-sized pieces, thus making it difficult to discern their original forms.
Yet, as the group passed by these rubble, a change occurred.
Without any warning, accompanied by a sudden gust of wind, the fragments inexplicably rose into the air, swiftly reassembling to their original form.
In such close proximity, Leo Ray observed clearly: they were statues in the form of cloaked liches, and despite being stone, the gaunt faces remained gruesomely terrifying.
Before the group could react, the lich statues, restored, suddenly radiated a brilliant scarlet glow from their eyeless sockets and reached out with skeletal hands to launch an attack from all directions.
“Such ridiculous tricks, don’t make a fool of yourself with them!”
The pink hooded figure sneered, as overwhelming magical energy surged from the magic wand. Accompanied by a deep gray glow, the surrounding space shifted and distorted, echoing with the continuous sound of shattering stones.
The lich statues that had just activated shattered into pieces under the powerful onslaught of the pink hooded figure. However, this time, the fragments did not fall to the ground but instead shot toward our group like bullets.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Since Little Jie had already erected an Absolute Defense Barrier, the sound of energy blasts reverberated around us, and those fragments were not merely bullets but Magic Cannon bombs.
“With me here, don’t expect to breach this Barrier!”
Despite the continued attacks from the shattered lich statues taking the pink hooded figure by surprise, the latter swiftly joined in supplying power.
The glow around our Barrier Wall intensified with the magical input from the pink hooded figure. Although the attacks from the debris were fierce, they were unable to affect us in the slightest. They merely turned into dust in the energy collisions, hovering mid-air and slowly descending to the ground.
After the assault subsided, just as Leo Ray and the group prepared to move forward once more, the dust suspended in the air swiftly gathered from all around, covering the entire Barrier Wall like a lid, obstructing our view and making the outside scene invisible.
“What is the opponent trying to do now?”
Upon seeing this, our group frowned.
No one expected that after the statues shattered into fragments and dust, our adversary still had tricks up their sleeve.
Under these circumstances, relying on any spell or physical attack seemed futile against the dust.
“If only we could open the Void Space, but alas, this place is full of the demon’s Space Barriers, impossible to breach.”
The pink hooded figure furrowed their brows tightly, muttering to themselves.
As our group attempted to ascertain the purpose behind their opponent’s actions, the dust began to scatter and dissipate into the air.
“What’s this?!”
As visibility returned and we could once again see the scene before us, our eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
This time, the group found themselves in a vast new space, where the light had brightened significantly. Surrounding us was a fully-armed Undead Army.
Judging by the overwhelming aura around us, this Undead Army’s strength was all above Tier 5, numbering at least ten thousand strong, with the red glow of their hollow eye sockets flashing ominously, filling the air with a murderous intent that sent shivers down our spines.
“Heh, who would have thought you ants would actually come courting death, so let me fulfill your wish!”
A sinister and arrogant voice echoed in the ears of our group.
