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

Chapter 161 - 161: 161: Prophecy of the Great Catastrophe

In the dense green forest, seven powerful and awe-inspiring figures swiftly moved through the trees.

Their oppressive presence caused the Tier 1 and 2 magical beasts around them to flee from the area as if they had met their natural enemies.

Without a doubt, these were Leo Ray and his team.

Accustomed to being in the center of the group, Leo Ray narrowed his eyes and looked around.

At the forefront, leading the way, were a pair of agile, black-clothed assassin sisters.

After consecutively refining two Rose Gathering Energy Pills, Stella Clark, who excelled at close-range assassination, had reached the Tier 3 eight-star level, only one step away from the Tier 3 pinnacle powerhouse.

Beside her, Serena Clark, good at long-range sniping, had also reached the Tier 3 seven-star level.

The boost in strength had further enhanced the speed of both sisters, as if their delicate bodies contained limitless explosive power.

Following them was Taylor, the Tier 5 two-star magical beast that Leo Ray sat on, undoubtedly the core of the team and comparable to a nuclear weapon.

Flanking Leo Ray on both sides were two maidens with long swords at their waists.

On his left was Abigail, who had short hair and wore a black ribbon around her head.

As a side member of the Rivers Family, she perfectly inherited the family’s traditional character of being calm and cautious. Her pretty face always maintained a tranquil expression.

The maturity that came with age, combined with her Tier 3, 5-star swordsman strength, made her an undeniably formidable force.

On his right was Amelia, who had a single braid.

She seemed a bit younger than Abigail, probably in her mid-twenties.

However, as a disciple of the kingdom’s famous dual sword style, she had a speed that could match the Clark sisters.

Moreover, according to Orion Wolfe, Amelia was known as the “Hawk Sword Maiden” within the Frost Family.

Although she was currently at the Tier 3 three-star level, her keen observation skills and delicate personality could help her side eliminate any potential threats at the first sign.

“I must admit, our team is getting stronger and stronger,” Leo Ray said with a satisfied expression.

In the rear were Gideon Black and Scarlett, two powerful magicians.

As a Tier 4 five-star muscular priest, Gideon Black was both powerful and able to heal. He had taken down no less than five Tier 3 powerhouses while carrying a girl in his arms.

Sometimes, Leo Ray even suspected that his main profession was a fighter, with the dark priest being a secondary one.

Last but not least, Scarlett was at the Tier 3 three-star level.

With her large, shimmering eyes, she proved to be a formidable force, despite occasionally displaying some perplexing human behavior.

She could not only conjure fire but also extinguish it, making her virtually unbeatable – except, of course, against Tier 1 Hydro Slimes.

“A Tier 1 slime, terrifying indeed,” Leo Ray said, shaking his head with a smile.

As they proceeded through the Demonic Shadow Forest, they could vaguely see the towering Hundred Ranges mountain range in the distance through the gaps in the leaves.

“It seems we’re not far from our destination,” Leo Ray observed. Turning on his Mind Talk, he said to the six members of the group, ‘We’ll stop at a hidden pass ahead. I want to observe the terrain first.”

“Yes, sir!” The voices of the subordinates rang out in unison from all around. Leo Ray nodded slightly, and he recalled the meeting he had just held in the mansion.

Firstly, the tasks of Gavin Sullivan, Belinda Wright, Aaron, and Bard did not need to be mentioned. They would still lead their respective teams and continue building the last buffer zone.

Moreover, Leo Ray had specifically instructed them to set the traps in a designated forest area that was slightly further from their territory, using sound to establish a related alarm mechanism.

Once the trap was triggered, they must detect it as soon as possible.

Additionally, there was the matter of reinforcing the watchtowers and constructing artillery platforms.

Without a doubt, since the Mage Squad had already arrived.

The next step was for them to deploy magic cannons around their territory.

As for Daisy Sasha and the other new subordinates, after careful inquiries, Leo

Ray found out that-

These Tier 2 magicians from the Magic Tower could set up an auxiliary barrier called “Eye of Insight” that completely enveloped their territory.

This type of auxiliary barrier had no actual defensive effect.

However, it could break or weaken any stealth and illusion effects, preventing enemies from infiltrating their territory.

Therefore, the task of these magicians was naturally to build this barrier with all their might, further increasing the potential defensive level of their territory.

“Speaking of which, these are not the main focus.”

Thinking about it, Leo Ray, while feeling the biting cold wind brought by the extreme speed, showed a solemn expression on his face and recalled the scene at that time.

Fifteen minutes ago, the drawing room in the Lord’s Mansion.

“Scarlett, I didn’t expect you to be here!”

Immediately after the meeting ended, Sasha Zuman, who was tightly holding the Tier 3 magic staff given by Leo Ray, went straight to Scarlett with a delighted look on her face, “Our mentor and juniors in the tower miss you a lot! Especially the mentors, who often mention you whenever they have a chance.”

“Oh?” Hearing this, Scarlett placed her hands on her hips and showed a smug expression, “How did those old monsters praise me?”

“The mentors said that without you around, life has become much more boring.”

While fondling the Tier 3 magic staff as if it were a treasure, Sasha Zuman continued, “For example, the Second Elder said that since you left the Magic Tower, there hasn’t been a fire in the Grand Attic Library.

The Sixth Elder said that since you graduated, there have been no explosions in the Magic Laboratory. Oh, the Ninth Elder said they no longer have to worry about their wig getting burned.”

“Stop!”

From the other side, Scarlett quickly covered Sasha Zuman’s mouth while seeing Leo Ray looking at them, and after giving an awkward smile, she changed the subject, “By the way, Sasha, I remember that you guys should have at least half a year of internship before being allowed to leave the tower, right?

Why did the schedule change?”

“It was supposed to be like that.”

Confused by the changed subject, Sasha Zuman scratched her head and responded, “But during a divination conference, the Fifth Elder suddenly said with an extremely tense expression-

It could be in a month or a year when a terrible catastrophe will happen in the world, which is why we were sent out early…”

“I see.” Hearing this, Scarlett pouted and shook her head helplessly, “But that old monster’s predictions don’t seem to be very accurate, right?

There was a time when he warned me that I would encounter a disaster the next day, but it was just a flowerpot that fell on my head…”

Recalling this, Leo Ray’s expression became even more solemn.

Without a doubt, this might not be groundless, and it’s uncertain whether a terrible disaster will indeed occur in this world.

Therefore, before the so-called catastrophe arrives, they must seize every opportunity to enhance their strength as much as possible.

This is to cope with the unusual crisis they are about to face.

Just as Leo Ray thought of this, Taylor’s voice suddenly came, “My Lord, something seems to be off not far ahead….”
