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

Capítulo 2875: Chapter 1574: Sudden Despair (Part 2)

The “Old Fishman King” snorted with disdain and ridicule, and coldly said, “In this world, where is there a free lunch? I have satisfied your greed; naturally, now is the time for you to pay the price.”

“You…”

Upon hearing this, Lena couldn’t find the words to respond, only a trace of gloom and helplessness showing between her brows.

The opponent was right. For a century, the Desert Fishmen did gain many benefits under his guidance. But as a result, the Desert Fishmen now had a notorious reputation among the second-tier powers.

Moreover, Father King trusted him more because of his guidance in recent years, which barely kept the Desert Fishmen from famine under the heavy pressure of the Throne Corridor.

After all, the land where the Desert Fishmen live is relatively barren, and the sea’s fish production is limited, which can barely meet the basic survival needs of the Fishmen… In such circumstances, what else could Father King do?

“But if you hadn’t tempted our King in the first place, would our King have bowed at your feet!”

Little Sail stepped forward and said indignantly, “After all, it all started because of you, you are the root cause of the calamity!”

“You are that Stone Spirit, right? You really have an aura that makes me feel uneasy on you.”

The “Old Fishman King’s” gaze fell on Little Sail, coldly saying, “That’s right, even if I did tempt you, so what? As the saying goes, ‘You reap what you sow,’ it’s your own fault.”

“Moreover, without me, you’d still be sleeping in that Gate of Truth, would you now stand before me?”

After he finished speaking, Little Sail was at a loss for words, unsure of what to say.

At this moment, Leo Ray’s calm voice already echoed, “It’s a pity, we have not gained any benefit from you, and now, the Desert Fishmen have chosen to stand with us. Since the Fishmen are already under my protection, the one who should pay the price is you, and only you.”

“Furthermore, no matter how much the Old Fishman King trusts you, he wouldn’t hand over everything, right? He is a king after all, and knows the weight he carries. I can see this from the thriving Fishman capital and the simple Royal Castle. The Old Fishman King is by no means a greedy tyrant.”

Leo Ray’s eyes narrowed slightly again, saying faintly, “If I’m not mistaken, you’ve used some kind of mental manipulation to control the Old Fishman King, which is why you easily controlled everything of his?”

“What an annoying kid.”

The “Old Fishman King’s” old face finally showed a trace of fury, coldly saying, “So what? This old thing wasted a century of my time to fully control him, only to meet you meddling guys just before I could use the rituals of those fools outside to free myself from the shackles of the bones and quietly seize control of the entire Fishman Kingdom.”

Upon hearing this, both Lena and Little Sail felt a chill down their spines. If this guy really replaced the Old Fishman King and walked out of the temple, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Especially Lena, who clearly understood that in the past, this guy not only instructed her Father King to take advantage of trade but also gave many extremely brutal orders. Fortunately, her Father King did not follow blindly and only paid lip service, sparing many innocent Fishmen.

Only hearing the “Old Fishman King’s” voice growing more irritable, he coldly shouted, “Today, none of you will leave here!”

With the words of the “Old Fishman King”, numerous Guardians of Devouring suddenly poured from the white ceiling and floor, instantly breaking through our perimeter defenses, causing a series of abyssal mouths to open wide around us, devouring from all sides!

In an instant, the entire scene became perilous, with murderous intent filling the air.

“Contract the defense line!”

Leo Ray moved extremely quickly, instantly unleashing hundreds of sharp blade lights, clearing the sudden oncoming Guardians of Devouring around, while ordering the strong to do so.

“As you command, Your Majesty!”

Upon hearing Leo Ray’s command, the strong also quickly responded from this sudden crisis, with energy surging from their bellies, showing their abilities.

Longsword and battle axe wielded, with the brilliance of blade lights and magic intertwining, tracing deadly arcs in the air.

Under the blessing of the Power of Divine Grace, most of these unexpected Guardians of Devouring were quickly wiped out, and although more kept coming, the strong had already regrouped under Leo Ray’s command, standing shoulder to shoulder.

But just as our formation had just stabilized, another change occurred.

With no warning signs, around the group, white giant walls that hadn’t appeared before suddenly erected, blocking all paths by connecting ceiling and floor.

Because our attacks hadn’t stopped, the instant these giant walls appeared, dense magic radiance covered them, revealing massive breaches instantly.

The sudden white walls were bizarre, and despite being broken in part, they were instantly repaired as before.

What sent chills down everyone’s spine was that behind the shattered portion was still more walls, seemingly endless.

Noticing this, everyone gazed attentively in surprise and discovered that these bizarre walls were actually formed by numerous Guardians of Devouring pressing and piling against each other.

At the moment of fragmentation, everyone clearly noticed countless white eyeballs split out from around and instantly merged back into the walls, making them impervious.

What made one’s back chill further was that these walls soon merged into a giant arc, rapidly squeezing in from all sides on our side.

“This is…?!”

As it all happened too suddenly, while in bewilderment, everyone held their breath, sped up their attacks.

However, even with all firepower from the group, all we could manage was slightly slowing the speed of the giant arc’s compression.

This giant arc, exuding overwhelming murderous intent, not only recovered quickly but kept merging with more Guardians of Devouring drilling continuously from ceiling and floor, growing more massive and frightening.

Sweat continuously dripped from everyone’s foreheads, all clearly understanding that our clearance speed is far behind their replication speed. If the situation continues, the outcome could only be being crushed to powder, if not devoured.

“Hahaha, let’s see how reckless you can still be now!”

The “Old Fishman King’s” figure flickered around the giant walls, arrogantly saying, “You’re doomed to die now! Once you’re dead, I can find a way to restore the rituals by those fools outside!”

While the opponent laughed wildly, Leo Ray had already led the strong towards the altar’s rear, aimed directly at that giant eerie white statue.

Regarding the scene of the rampant giant walls, Leo Ray has encountered it once in Medusa’s Land of Divine Favor, and that strange white statue is certainly connected to the life origin, just like the sand-robed old man.

Since the opponent couldn’t leave despite controlling the Old Fishman King, it indicates that his life origin should still be there. Thus, as long as that’s destroyed, he may not dissipate but will certainly suffer a heavy blow.

Currently, the giant arc has yet to cover there, making it the best opportunity for our attack!

“What are you going to do?”

The “Old Fishman King” evidently noticed Leo Ray’s intention, a trace of nervousness slipped into his voice.

“Attack there with full force!”

Leo Ray naturally paid no heed to the opponent, indicating that bizarre humanoid statue, issuing the command to attack.
