Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 2304: Chapter 1280: The Threat of the Giant Dragons

Only hearing the manager’s voice become noticeably tenser, nodded at Leo Ray and said: “Your Majesty, I have already mentioned earlier that the teleportation function of this Shadow Market is aging, and its original perfect concealment has reached a low point. The Red Dragons have probably detected the energy fluctuations during the market’s teleportation, which is why they have come to investigate.”

“So that’s it.”

Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully amid his astonishment.

When the Shadow Market was relocating, he indeed sensed a massive energy fluctuation during teleportation, which was entirely different from the silent teleportations of Ice Stone City and Crystal Blue City.

At that time, he thought the other party was deliberately generating energy fluctuations to show off their power, but he didn’t expect it was due to the aging teleportation function.

“Speaking of which, this Shadow Market seems even inferior to Ice Stone City and Crystal Blue City; can they really assist in repairing my two Lands of Divine Favor?”

While hesitating in his heart, Leo Ray steadied his mind and nodded at the manager inside the gate, saying: “Your Excellency, how do you plan to deal with them?”

“Please rest assured, Your Majesty, although the Red Dragons run rampant in this area, they have not been so reckless as to attack the Shadow Market.”

The manager’s voice became more hurried, immediately responding: “I am worried about Your Majesty’s safety.”

Upon this, the manager hesitated for a moment but finally decided: “The situation is urgent, and although this violates the market’s regulations and might be detected by the Bazaar Brotherhood, I implore Your Majesty to take shelter within the market.”

“Your Excellency, we have just established a cooperative relationship, and the Human Clan will not trouble friends, even in a crisis.”

Leo Ray responded with a faint smile: “Your Excellency just needs to act as if we don’t exist and calmly face those Red Dragons; I have my own way to evade their pursuit.”

After saying this, Leo Ray nodded at Little Jie.

As Leo Ray’s exclusive Stone Spirit, one of the secret spells set for Little Jie was the Absolute Defense Barrier with an invisibility function.

Although it is difficult for Little Jie to maintain the invisibility function of the barrier while moving at high speed, relying on Elusa’s power is unavoidable.

However, when stationary, even Fei’er, at the Tier 6 Peak, could hardly detect the slightest trace of the invisibility function added to the barrier, which Leo Ray had tested before.

With this, combined with the inherently chaotic energy flow surrounding the Inverted Gorge, Leo Ray was confident in hiding himself.

“But… I understand,”

Seeing Leo Ray’s confident eyes, the manager said nothing more and just nodded firmly at Leo Ray.

Under the gaze of the manager and other Market Guards, our party soon vanished into a corner at the gorge’s entrance where it meets the market, as if we had never been there.

Just a few seconds after we disappeared, the clear sky suddenly darkened; about a dozen gigantic red silhouettes blocked out the sun high above, circling for a few turns before slowly descending.

Accompanied by the violent gusts of wind stirred by giant wing membranes, a dozen Red Dragons landed one after another in front of the Shadow Market’s gate, making the ground tremble violently under their giant Dragon Claws.

“Oh? Is the manager personally here to greet us?”

The lead Red Dragon narrowed its golden vertical pupils slightly, raising its thick neck covered in sturdy scales and looking down at the entrance of the market with a condescending and dismissive tone.

Hearing this, Leo Ray slightly furrowed his brows.

This arrogant and rude voice was not unfamiliar to him; it was the very Red who had clashed with him once before.

But what surprised Leo Ray even more was that, within this group of Red Dragons, he sensed two exceptionally powerful auras.

Following the auras with his gaze, Leo Ray noticed that there were two Red Dragons whose scales were significantly darker, and their sizes were far larger, standing out among the other ordinary Red Dragons.

“These are Dragon King-level Tier 6 Red Dragons? Truly extraordinary.”

Even though he was at some distance away, Leo Ray could still feel a tremendous sense of oppression, especially the mountain-like enormous physique, making them seem practically insurmountable.

Although the number of Red Dragons that appeared this time was about the same as last time, their overall strength was far above the usual Tier 5 Red Dragons of the previous encounter.

“Had they deployed such a formation last time, our side would have been on the brink of destruction.”

Leo Ray retracted his aura, feeling a bit on edge.

Beside Leo Ray, both Grey Elder and Yonir, who were also Tier 6, wore serious expressions. Although they were known for their speed and excelled in evasion and quick attacks, neither had the confidence to defeat the Tier 6 Red Dragons, even while equipped with the sixth-order equipment upgraded by Leo Ray.

“Seeing Your Excellency, the vanguard general of the Red Dragon Clan personally leading the team here, as the Guardian of the Shadow Market, I naturally came out of the city to greet you; it is the most basic courtesy.”

The manager stood inside the gate, speaking in a raspy and calm voice.

“Are you implying that I am rude? Cowards who don’t dare to step out of their cities will not earn the respect of the Dragon Clan.”

Red snorted contemptuously, looking down condescendingly: “Tell me, why have you led the Shadow Market here?”

“Your Excellency, the affairs of my Shadow Market have never required interference from the Dragon Clan.”
