The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them - Chapter 166

Continuous explosion sounds came from the distance, and Elvi had completely adopted an attitude of wanting to kill Adison on the spot.

The butterfly spirit was no match in terms of power, and had no intention of dealing with a rebellion while also getting himself involved, so he simply fought while retreating.

As for those soldiers who had originally been used as cannon fodder to intercept Elvi, after discovering Adison’s attitude, they also successively adopted a stance of fighting while retreating.

Elvi naturally wouldn’t allow this, but the severely injured dragon was stopped by Victoria, who had resolved the frontline issues.

The black dragon hurriedly intercepted the heated Elvi, quickly saying, “Your Excellency, Adison is severely injured. Even if we let him escape, he won’t have the opportunity to launch another attack against the dragon clan in the short term.”

“Rather than focusing on that bug who will die sooner or later, you should consider fusing with the Raven’s genes as soon as possible.”

Victoria held her breath, looking at the dragon’s vertical pupils that were clearly no longer human, and explained with trepidation, “The Queen has already declared war on us. Rather than wasting too much strength on one of the Queen’s subordinates, it would be better to resolve your problem early. This way, we can prevent future troubles in subsequent battles.”

The black dragon spoke very carefully, afraid that the heated Elvi might choose herself as the next target of attack.

At that time, many of the humanoid monster beasts who saw Adison’s fleeing figure had already pronounced a death sentence on him.

No one believed that the butterfly spirit, who had lost half his body and had multiple severe injuries on the other half, could survive safely under such circumstances.

Elvi’s originally heavy breathing from battle gradually became shallower.

Elvi, who had been fighting in human form, had many joints twisted during close combat with Adison. At this moment, breaking free from the monster beast’s instinct, the dragon whose face was stained with blood and butterfly body fragments, gradually freed herself from the non-human battle consciousness controlled by instinct.

Feeling the pain, Elvi directly straightened those twisted joints. Accompanied by cracking sounds, Victoria breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, Victoria turned her attention to Su Li.

“Now the most important thing is to resolve Your Excellency’s future troubles,” Victoria said to Su Li with a calm expression. “Have that crow let a bucket of blood.”

This was said so casually, as simple as humans killing chickens. There was no attitude of treating a fellow being, but rather it was filled with the matter-of-fact nature of objectification.

Su Li, however, coughed.

It wasn’t really the beginning of summer, and the battlefield’s smell was equally bloody and unpleasant, so Su Li’s seemingly abrupt action didn’t actually attract anyone’s attention.

Victoria added loudly, “Didn’t you hear?”

“Whether I heard or didn’t hear isn’t that important,” Su Li moved his right wrist.

“Before letting blood, can I ask a question first?”

“The most important thing now is Her Excellency’s matter. Whatever questions you have can be asked later,” Victoria didn’t think it was necessary to continue wasting words with Su Li. Resolving Elvi’s problem early would be best for the dragon clan.

Having the possibility of becoming an heir was one thing, but even if one had already been confirmed as an heir, the heir might not necessarily compare to the current king.

Victoria’s attitude was very clear.

However, Elvi responded to Su Li, not caring at all that her action slapped her subordinate’s face. She said, “Ask away.”

“How much blood is needed to complete the genetic part you’re missing?”

“All of it.” Elvi didn’t pay any attention to the Raven, and even her attitude in answering this question was like dealing with Su Li’s sudden tantrum.

Su Li laughed again, and while laughing, he couldn’t control himself and coughed several times in succession. The young man lowered his eyes and murmured, “So from the very beginning, as long as the Raven’s upgrade was confirmed successful, it was already equivalent to his death countdown beginning, wasn’t it?”

“I thought you should have known this possibility long ago.” Elvi raised an eyebrow, her voice carrying a cold arrogance that even the dragon herself couldn’t detect. “He, who has never broken through to a ninth-level monster beast, is fundamentally insufficient to fill the bloodline gap of me as a dragon.”

“So after his breakthrough, he can only use all his blood to exchange for the partial resolution of your problem?” The disease that Su Li had previously referred to as madness was not a problem that could be completely solved through genetic completion.

What Elvi demanded was equivalent to having the Raven use his life to delay the arrival of her madness.

Su Li had thought about this possibility before, but when his brain consciousness defined it as a genetic problem, his conceptual understanding naturally judged that drawing one or two tubes of blood would be sufficient.

But looking at Elvi’s appearance, he realized that what the dragon wanted was clearly to use the Raven’s blood to replace at least one-third of her own blood…

Su Li said in a sharp voice, “You never intended to let him live from the very beginning when you went to capture him, did you?”

“Even the Crystal Winged Dragon… you might indeed have deep enough friendship with Na’an, but as a dragon, you have actually hoped more than once that she could break through successfully, and then use her to complete the genetic part you’re missing, right?”

“I don’t think having such thoughts is abnormal,” Elvi saw through Su Li’s attitude at a glance. “The law of the jungle is natural and justified.”

“Unfortunately, Na’an, who was originally most compatible with me, not only failed to break through, but even died at the eighth-level monster beast stage.”

Elvi frowned, as if just thinking about this matter brought an indescribable regret.

The dragon in human form spoke without concealment. “If Na’an’s strength had improved to above ninth-level monster beast, using all of her to fill my bloodline would be equivalent to her merging with me. The unique talents of the Crystal Winged Dragon part might also be preserved as a result. And at that time, having merged with her, I wouldn’t mind raising her children as my own children…”

“What a pity, those two little ones couldn’t survive either.” There wasn’t a trace of hatred toward humans on Elvi’s face. She even applied the principle of survival of the fittest to both herself and humans, despite being a monster beast.

While speaking, Elvi scraped off Adison’s flesh and blood from her cheek, and with an unchanged expression, used her tongue to draw it into her mouth and swallowed it.

Su Li’s stomach churned continuously. He wanted to vomit.

After a long silence, Victoria frowned and said, “Didn’t you hear?”

“Her Excellency wants to fuse with his blood now.”

Su Li could directly feel the Raven perched on his head stepping on his skull.

That certainly wasn’t the Raven being foolish enough to think that sacrificing himself would keep Su Li in a relatively safe position.

That was a reminder.

A reminder that couldn’t be more obvious.

But before that, Su Li sneered, “She wants it so I should give it? What do you take me for? A dog that comes when called and goes when dismissed? Even dogs will bite when they’re unhappy with their master, let alone…”

In an instant, a familiar gun appeared in Su Li’s hand.

He had previously planned to use the weapon given by the dragon to kill the dragon when Elvi fell into a deadly situation of being surrounded.

Unfortunately, it seemed that such a dramatic scene wouldn’t have a chance to be performed for now.

Su Li raised the sniper rifle and aimed at Elvi’s head.

The latter didn’t believe that what she had bestowed could harm her. Instead, she said, “Don’t casually grip weapons.”

“For the weak, gripping weapons tightly is not an opportunity to fight back—it’s a provocation to the strong.”

Elvi twisted her neck. “I won’t kill you, and you know my reasons. It’s just that this reason is obviously not enough for me to spare the Raven.”

“Now, put down the weapon in your hand and hand the Raven over to Victoria. Let her do what you can’t bring yourself to do.”

Victoria also nodded at this moment.

Elvi still didn’t see Su Li’s reaction. “Could it be that for you, a human, the existence of monster beasts represents some life that must be saved?”

“If that’s really the case, then this joke doesn’t seem funny to me at all.” Elvi lowered her head to look at Su Li.

The dragon had long been accustomed to using various angles of looking down on others to give Su Li heavy psychological pressure.

But this had no effect.

Su Li’s response was to aim the barrel of the weapon in his hand at Elvi’s eyeball.

Bang——

The sound of the finger pulling the trigger was infinitely amplified in this dark night, followed by something completely different from the tranquility when wind elements were so still that they left no trace.

That wind sound was as violent as a stormy night, like large trees collapsing and breaking in chaos.

Unstoppable.

With unimaginable tremendous force and action, Elvi hadn’t made any defensive preparations at all.

That bullet directly carried a penetrating force that even the dragon herself couldn’t replicate, fiercely crashing into her eye.

An explosion sound followed, and Victoria’s expression changed from disbelief to distortion as if in slow motion.

But this wasn’t the end yet.

When Elvi uncontrollably covered her eye and simultaneously launched an attack, Su Li made no defensive moves—in fact, he had no defensive capability. He simply pulled the trigger again just as that attack was about to hit him.

The last bullet shot like an arrow piercing clouds, shattering the surging wind elemental cloud and creating a not-so-obvious surface wound for Elvi, who had momentarily lost her vision.

The gun was ruined.

Like flowing sand, the gun condensed from wind elements ultimately became part of the wind.

This dragon Elvi, who had brought endless pressure to various major forces at countless moments, had one eyeball pierced by Su Li before dawn, at the cost of Adison sacrificing half his body.

Boom—— 

Massive dark elements fiercely crashed into the ground in front of Su Li.

Cracks were visible to the naked eye under the dawn’s radiance, and the central collapse was more than three meters deep. Victoria’s roar followed immediately, “Human! I want you dead!”

Victoria could hardly believe that someone would wound Elvi right in front of her. The dragon covered in blood was destined to become an indelible nightmare for the black dragon until Su Li’s death could reverse it.

The Raven shouted “Be careful——!” while hurriedly taking Su Li out of the attack range.

In that instant, countless dark elements controlled by the black dragon attacked toward Su Li’s face.

But Su Li chuckled softly and removed the monocle that had always hung on his right eye.

Then, he forcefully threw it toward the severely injured Elvi’s direction.

Victoria instinctively intercepted it and held it in her hand.

But in the next second…

“Ahhhhhhh——”

Piercing screams reached the clouds, continuous and unending.
