Qi also very much wanted to tell everyone in this world about what Su Li had done for it.
Perhaps Su Li himself didn’t care, perhaps Su Li himself wasn’t concerned, but the people around Su Li had always wanted him to receive the honor he deserved.
Being shrouded in glory should have been Su Li’s normal state.
Instead of quietly sacrificing for an entire race while no one knew about it.
……
As Qi had said, he left that afternoon. Not long after he left, changes occurred again in Sadina City.
This time it wasn’t just the earth shaking and mountains moving.
The crisis directly connected the great river created by Leia and Elvi’s battle with Sadina City’s moat.
In plain language, another humanoid monster beast had appeared.
When Su Li learned this news, he couldn’t help but think of Ophelia who had run away that afternoon.
Su Li inexplicably felt that when the Grand Princess had previously asked if he knew that many high-level monster beasts would come here, she had already anticipated the current situation.
But thinking carefully, he knew it was impossible.
What the Grand Princess knew was probably even less than what the ordinary citizens of Sadina City knew.
How could she possibly know that the newly arrived monster beasts would be beast tribe members?
Su Li stood on the walls of Sadina City that had only been fully constructed later, his expression grave as he looked at the area that had originally been hills and small forests, now completely transformed into a river landscape.
Originally, Sadina City was a city built around the Mercenary Guild in the central area. Before being surrounded by Ophelia’s troops, the city didn’t even have distinct wall structures.
After the siege ended, although walls appeared and moats were even built along the outer edge of the walls, essentially that river was just a tool to provide daily water for the city’s residents.
It wasn’t truly a “protective” moat in the literal sense.
But now it was different.
The newly arrived humanoid disaster, while fighting one against two without being at a disadvantage, had turned the fake moat into a real defensive moat.
Su Li placed both hands on the edge of the wall, feeling very troubled.
He couldn’t help but wonder if, in monster beast society, there really existed those who wanted to exterminate humans, then that group was likely led by the new type of monster beast in view.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain how the battle, which originally didn’t involve human living areas, suddenly became linked to human territories.
The battle results were also impressive.
Elvi had been beaten until several of her ribs were broken, while Leia had lost handfuls of scales, which in human form meant that both his legs were a bloody mess.
As for the newcomer… he was simply terrifyingly strong.
Under these circumstances, he had only broken the horn on his head.
There were no visible injuries on his actual body.
In other words, the strength of the humanoid monster beast’s horn was even weaker than his physical body.
During the battle, Elvi had retreated slightly, reluctantly letting Leia take the lead while she flew in front of Su Li, struggling to bandage herself.
Su Li tugged at the hat he had put back on after learning about the new monster beast’s appearance, then asked, “Can you introduce him?”
Su Li actually wanted to smirk and sarcastically ask Elvi, “Aren’t you going to make introductions?”
But he didn’t have that luxury.
Su Li, who rarely spoke without thinking, could only politely and humbly ask after weighing his options.
Elvi chose to introduce the identity of the newcomer monster beast in one breath.
“Bartholomew Christian, original form unicorn, the number one warrior under the Beast King, possesses light element but isn’t skilled in elemental warfare. His power cultivation has, from beginning to end, placed all elements entirely on physical enhancement, achieving the ability to pierce through a giant dragon’s original body with the horn on his head using only physical strength.”
Elvi spoke in detail, almost as if he wanted Su Li to create a complete profile for Bartholomew Christian in his mind, and strip him bare on the spot to determine his true intentions.
Leia had already proven that the beast tribe was targeting the water tribe.
Judging by the deliberate misleading tactics of Elvi, who represented the King of the Winged Tribe, without having direct communication with Leia, the dragon’s own thoughts were likely that there was a possibility of an alliance.
But because Elvi wasn’t the decision-maker, after understanding Leia’s thoughts, all the dragon could do was use her control ability to try to gain more benefits from Leia.
Yet before the two sides could even begin tentative cooperation, the beast tribe had already appeared…
And in a manner that gave no opportunity for dialogue, immediately engaging in a forceful one-against-two battle.
What did this mean?
Elvi’s mind was in chaos.
Without an explanation from Bartholomew himself, his arrival could mean too many things.
What Elvi needed was for Su Li to eliminate those improbable possibilities, and in the shortest time possible, determine his true purpose for coming.
The dragon thought this and also expressed his expectations of Su Li.
But Su Li just wanted to point at his nose and say, “Based on the available information, I can’t judge his target out of thin air! If I could really do that, it wouldn’t be speculation, it would be genuine prophecy.”
“But even I can tell that the beast tribe’s attack on the water tribe has changed,” Elvi said, then in the blink of an eye charged back toward the unicorn with the broken horn.
Leia, who had been under pressure earlier, visibly relaxed during this process.
If ranked by strength, Bartholomew undoubtedly occupied first place among the three humanoid monster beasts.
To this day, no monster beast could understand how Bartholomew had managed to push his strength to such an extreme level.
Leia’s ultra-concentrated water element formed into high-density elemental spheres. Under normal circumstances, Elvi, unable to avoid them, would have to prepare for significant injury before going all out on defense.
But strangely, that move of Leia’s was directly torn apart by the humanoid unicorn using just his bare hands…
Looking closely, one could see that Bartholomew’s hands were covered in various small wounds, but those injuries had already healed to just slight pink marks in the blink of an eye.
Leia couldn’t win in a one-on-one fight.
“I’d rather fight the entire dragon race alone than fight this mad dog.” Even if he couldn’t win, he could run away, but facing Bartholomew, Leia couldn’t escape or win.
He could only temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack. After confirming that Elvi still had fighting ability after bandaging herself, he retreated somewhat and cursed with an ugly expression. “Damn wild horse!”
Su Li then watched in amazement as Leia transformed water element into ice element, directly freezing the wounds that wouldn’t stop bleeding.
Then the merman charged toward the newcomer again.
Su Li questioned. “Can one freely switch between water element and ice element?”
“Roy can’t do that,” Egbert said.
After learning about the appearance of the third humanoid monster beast, everyone in the small building who could move had mobilized.
After Su Li arrived on the city wall, only Egbert and Cyril were beside him, along with the raven perched on his head.
Hearing Egbert’s response, Su Li continued, “When Leia said he would rather face the entire dragon race than face Bartholomew, does that mean the latter counters him? If so… what’s the reason?”
“There’s no obvious countering effect between water element and light element,” Egbert explained. In fact, apart from water and fire, two naturally incompatible elements, other elements didn’t inherently counter each other.
“As for the reason, I believe perhaps that light element beast tribe member, because he used large amounts of elements to strengthen his physical body, has extremely strong control over the elements within his own body, thus preventing Leia from remotely controlling elements to affect Bartholomew’s internal body.”
“Blood also contains water element. Of course, this is just my speculation,” Egbert seriously observed this non-human battle.
He now had many fresh insights regarding strength growth.
“Human water elementalists cannot remotely influence others’ blood. But if one truly reaches the level of rules, completely transforming control over water element into mastery over water, then affecting others’ blood should be a simple operation.”
These words stirred something in Su Li’s mind, a flash of inspiration. But what filled his brain in that instant couldn’t truly connect with the current situation in such a short time, so he could only urge Egbert to continue.
“Tell me everything you’ve observed.”
Su Li was rarely so serious. He suddenly felt he was touching on the reason this battle had occurred.
But he wasn’t certain enough yet.
Egbert didn’t know what Su Li was thinking, but cooperated by continuing, “Because Bartholomew has extremely powerful control over his physical body, he has perhaps achieved the level of controlling his own blood. He cannot be internally influenced by Leia, and externally his defenses cannot be easily broken by Leia, which is why Leia is so… troubled.”
Egbert wanted to say “frantic” instead.
Leia and Elvi joining forces against the newly appeared monster beast didn’t look like two against one at all, but rather like the dragon facing the unicorn head-on in single combat.
The merman’s assistance was not only pathetically small, but Elvi also had to constantly watch out for him during the battle to prevent Leia from being killed.
To prevent Leia from being killed…
Suddenly Su Li connected everything!
He opened his eyes wide and shouted from a distance to the dragon whose hands had transformed into claws. “Bartholomew Christian’s purpose for appearing is—to assassinate Leia Somorfeld!”
