- Chapter 174.2 - Cooperative Battle (part 2)
Su Li raised his chin, his emerald green pupils unconsciously filled with contempt. “And therefore, you became frantic and flew into a rage out of shame?”
“I thought Victoria’s death would at least tell you that in this world, no matter how much one uses ‘might makes right’ as the cognitive standard, so-called strong ones can never make everything change according to their thoughts and wishes.”
These words were like sharp blades.
Elvi’s heart contracted uncontrollably with pain. For some unknown reason, the scene of Victoria gradually losing her breath appeared before her eyes again – her eyes filled with tears, yet still brimming with regret and anguish.
No dialogue, no eye contact, no communication…
No matter how much she warned herself, her heartstrings that had been touched and her mind that was being tormented by words were no longer under control.
“What right do you have to judge Victoria!”
“Whether she’s dead or alive, what does it have to do with you? Despicable as you are, weak as you are, what impact could you possibly have on her life and death! Do you think this will make me angry, or do you think this will make me spare you?”
“Don’t be ridiculous! I won’t spare either you or Leia.” Elvi’s eyes turned red, her nails digging into her palms, thick blood dripping onto the grass drop by drop.
At this moment, she seemed to have become a malevolent spirit that hated everything. “Even the people around you, I won’t spare them! I’ll make them die one by one, all of them.”
Faced with such threatening words, Su Li actually breathed a sigh of relief.
He wasn’t afraid of Elvi taking action; he was afraid of her remaining truly silent.
Although the words were harsh, the meaning remained the same.
——Dogs that bite don’t bark randomly.
At this time, when Elvi could express her attitude, Su Li could instead think of a solution in an instant.
It was just unfortunate that his technique of threatening with his own suicide was no longer suitable for Elvi, whose mental state had become increasingly abnormal.
“I won’t let you kill them.”
When speaking with increased breath output, combined with an unusual speaking speed, this expression became filled with sharp, tit-for-tat intensity.
Like the warning of a vicious dog.
Yet despite this seeming like an act of righteousness to protect those around him, Su Li’s gaze remained extremely calm.
Because he knew that as long as his performance seemed like he was being threatened by Elvi, the dragon would become even more convinced of the importance of hostages.
However, Elvi in this state wouldn’t necessarily become completely mad.
There was a high possibility she would determine that while hostages were important, too many would become cheap.
Only uniqueness was the most precious thing.
Su Li couldn’t guarantee he could make Elvi avoid this line of thinking, but he was certain that Elvi would step into his trap again.
“Do you think your disapproval matters?” Elvi laughed hideously, “Weakling, incompetent one, useless one, powerless to resist! Apart from accepting all the realities you don’t want to accept, you have no ability to change anything.”
The dragon forever despised Su Li’s weakness and powerlessness.
Without power, nothing could be accomplished.
“You can only watch, watch me kill them one by one. Then, even you yourself must accept the fact of becoming a tool in my hands despite endless resistance!”
Su Li, however, captured all her mental and emotional changes in his heart.
Several considerations flashed through his mind in an instant, and a trace of coldness appeared at the corner of the young man’s mouth.
Just as he was about to say words that went against his principles, the several people who had been controlled earlier broke free from their controlled state one by one.
Egbert wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, laughing boldly. A man in his twenties or thirties no longer possessed the endless vitality of youth, believing the world was in his grasp.
But as long as Su Li was by his side, Egbert would definitely obtain everything Lord Su Li wanted for him.
“Don’t always treat me as an insignificant ordinary human!” Egbert almost gritted his teeth to pieces.
The pain caused by the wind elements in his body hadn’t subsided, but Egbert relied on willpower and resistance to threats against Su Li to forcibly increase his internal injuries, making the light elements’ heat effect rise within his body.
In no time, the wind elements that had originally controlled his movements were completely evaporated, though the cost was that Egbert’s vision became blurred.
He could collapse at any moment, but this didn’t mean he would fall here.
The healing potions in his spatial alchemy tools seemed free as he bit them in his mouth. The high-efficiency healing potions had greatly reduced effectiveness at this time.
After several bottles of potions, Egbert, whose injuries were temporarily relieved, struck the bottom of his spear heavily against the ground.
Light elements flowed along the ground through this action, directly avoiding the pressure of wind elements in the air and quickly reaching the others.
This power emerged from the ground in a flash, and in just an instant, it dispersed the highly concentrated wind elements. The others seized the opportunity to quickly break free from the strong elemental control and successively raised their weapons toward Elvi.
The dragon, however, only found it laughable.
“If you chose to flee now, I might still need some time to capture you. Pity that you’re so foolish as to still think of resistance when facing me!”
Egbert, however, directly attacked.
His body trembled from the pain caused by wind elements, and his spirit fell into uncontrollable chaos simply from facing Elvi as an enemy, having once directly faced terror.
But so what!
As long as Lord Su Li was by his side, Egbert would never stop.
The spear pointed directly at Elvi’s chest, Egbert’s gaze focused only on positions that could potentially cause severe injury to Elvi.
But when he attacked Elvi with lightning speed, he was blocked by the dragon, who had superior speed, in one move.
Elvi used the incoming force to throw both him and the spear in his hands far behind.
This caused Egbert to roll continuously on the ground until he finally stopped when the force was completely exhausted.
The man supported himself with his spear with one hand while slowly climbing up from the ground.
In his blood-blurred vision, Roy had already turned all the green vegetation on the ground into ice crystals.
Roy’s fighting style always considered what he could accomplish. For instance, now his best role was to prevent the wind elements controlled by Elvi from having absolute dominance over the ground.
The Raven and Gabriel both transformed into their original forms, facing Elvi together in their strongest combat stance.
The continuous yet well-coordinated offensive didn’t cause severe damage to Elvi, but the advantage was that the several people’s cooperation was too seamless, and they had mutual assistance using different elements, making it no longer easy for Elvi to find a breakthrough in a short time.
“Disgusting disgusting disgusting disgusting… utterly disgusting! A group of incompetent weaklings, what right do they have to raise weapons in resistance!”
“Talking about rights and qualifications…” Lan Zhe also bit a healing potion in his mouth. The medicine that Egbert hadn’t tried was indeed as unpalatable as imagined.
Even so, Lan Zhe could barely speak while choking and coughing due to drinking the medicine too quickly. “When facing oppression, not giving resistance would be abnormal.”
Lan Zhe’s voice became increasingly high-pitched.
“No matter who it is, whether human or monster beast, everyone should fucking stop obediently! Go listen to the correct common sense from Su Li’s mouth!”
The extinction of the Crystal Winged Dragon was forever the pain in Lan Zhe’s heart. And Su Li, who had never thought of abandoning the final creation, was the person Lan Zhe had long decided to swear to follow.
Lan Zhe threw the medicine bottle on the ground. When the sound of the glass bottle breaking reached his ears, he extracted a large amount of dark elements from himself, transforming them into nine black meteors.
These things circled around him, and each movement extracted a large amount of elemental power from his body.
The wind elements that hadn’t been expelled from his body also transformed into a green wisp during this abnormal extraction process, mixing into the black meteors.
At this moment, Elvi suddenly discovered that the green was no longer under her control…
Accompanied by Lan Zhe’s falling backward figure, all the black meteors rushed straight toward Elvi.
——This attack was unavoidable.
Elvi understood this clearly, yet she also revealed a wild smile. She laughed loudly. “Hahaha, hahahaha! I’ve just realized that humans actually understand war too!”
That was a path filled with blood.
Elvi faced the incoming attack head-on. No matter how the dark elements corroded her skin, or how the green that was no longer under control entangled her flesh, Elvi still recklessly launched an attack on Lan Zhe, who had already fallen.
Roy, however, directly lifted the fallen person and retreated a large step.
Through Egbert’s previous action of injecting elements into the ground, Roy had also learned this technique.
Now this ice that seemed to cover the entire world became Roy’s greatest support for rapid movement on the ground.
“Even if I can’t become the main damage dealer at this time, don’t underestimate a mercenary’s awareness of combat.”
The heavy sword in Roy’s hand directly blocked Elvi’s incoming claws.
The dragon, who could switch partial body forms at will, caused Roy’s weapon to make cracking sounds with just one attack.
In the next second, Roy retreated again with Lan Zhe while throwing aside the heavy sword in his hand that was destined to be unable to participate in the next battle.
The heavy sword abandoned by the two-star mercenary didn’t even have time to hit the ground before it disintegrated in mid-air, becoming numerous fragments.
If this force hit a person, they would probably die on the spot.
Roy felt somewhat frightened in his heart, but he didn’t forget to mock. “I thought that someone like me couldn’t even block one move under your noble dragon’s hand.”
Saying this, he threw Lan Zhe toward Egbert’s direction.
Gabriel and Roy, along with the Raven who had transformed into its original form to increase aerial combat capability, took over the subsequent battle against Elvi.
But everyone knew that even with these three joining forces, they couldn’t last more than a few moves under Elvi’s hand.
However, the two-star mercenary hadn’t planned to become the main damage dealer in this battle.
The reason Lan Zhe was thrown toward Egbert wasn’t because both of them were temporarily incapacitated.
It was because, although the former had exhausted his power, he could still provide basic treatment to Egbert, who had nearly been burned senseless by light elements.
Lan Zhe coughed while pulling Egbert’s hair, viciously forcing medicine down the latter’s throat. The Dark Holy Son also said, “You better truly be as you said, able to protect Su Li well.”
Egbert gradually recovered from his unclear and confused state until he could finally vaguely see the combat scene of Elvi continuously diving from the air and striking Roy twice…
Most of the wind elements were diverted by the Raven. Pure physical attacks, due to excessive speed, made Roy obviously weaken even with Gabriel’s help in sharing the burden.
——Just one more time, and that idiot mercenary who made summer shaved ice for Lord Su Li in summer would never see tomorrow’s sun…
Egbert moved.
He was still covered in blood, disregarding the small fountains of blood that sprayed from his wounds just from standing up, facing forward with a stern expression.
“Any possibility of making Lord Su Li unhappy, I will not allow to happen.” Egbert vomited a large mouthful of blood from his mouth, the red seeping from his forehead wound staining his eyeballs, filled with the tenacity of a desperate gamble.
“This is the bottom line this body maintains in the world.” Egbert directly spat out the blood in his mouth, those eyes at this moment not inferior to the blazing sun hanging high in the sky.
“As long as Lord Su Li continues to advance, no matter how terrible the road is, I will completely level it——”
Holding the spear in his hand, Egbert once again aimed at Elvi’s heart.
In the chaotic scene, the blazing sun rising from the ground gathered at the spear tip. Accompanied by a great shout, Egbert charged straight ahead.
“With this body as offering, may light forever accompany Lord Su Li——!”
The other two who had been engaged in combat also desperately restrained Elvi’s movements.
Ice elements gathered in the air as if they cost nothing.
Since mutated elements were called mutated, it proved they were inherently abnormal. At this time, those ice elements actually faintly suppressed the higher-quality wind elements. Combined with Gabriel’s close-combat entanglement, Elvi was firmly restricted to one area——
Everyone could hear Egbert’s shout, and the dragon was no exception.
But at the moment the final note fell, Elvi saw something sharp that, like Victoria at that time, directly pierced through from the back of her heart to her front chest.
Unlike the black dragon, what the black dragon had encountered was a fish mouth, but now the dragon faced a human weapon.
“Pfft——” Elvi uncontrollably vomited a mouthful of fresh blood. She looked down at her chest in disbelief, red soaking her clothing. Elvi’s eyes widened.
Roy also completely lost his strength and collapsed on the ground at this moment.
Gabriel, who still had some strength left, chose without any hesitation to bring Roy to Lan Zhe’s side for the Dark Holy Son to help with treatment, rather than delivering a finishing blow to the dragon whose life or death was unknown.
Su Li, who wasn’t allowed to enter the battle, trembled all over. Looking at the post-battle scene where hardly anyone maintained a complete human form, he hated why, having already transmigrated, he still remained so incompatible with this world…
The young man and Lan Zhe together bandaged Roy. The mercenary had dozens of broken bones, and in many places, internal organs and deep white bones were visible.
Just being able to breathe was already like a miracle.
Lan Zhe was responsible for forcing medicine down his mouth, while Su Li took out a large amount of external healing potions, sprinkling the medicine on Roy’s body.
But for some unknown reason, the injuries on the latter’s body never seemed to recover.
Lan Zhe frantically shouted at Roy. “If you fucking dare to die here, I’ll bury you right here! Making you never see Su Li again, and never be able to rest in the same grave as ‘Roy’!”
Roy’s nearly vanished breathing became heavy again.
Lan Zhe shoved him into Su Li’s arms and immediately rushed to Egbert’s side, who was half-dead but still had a breath left.
“Don’t think you can lie flat just because you won. Right now, immediately! Use light elements to save Roy. Otherwise, that stupid mercenary will die in Lord Su Li’s arms, or do you want…”
“Do you want Su Li to think of Roy dying in his arms every time he sees his own hands?!”
Egbert was directly dragged by Lan Zhe to Roy’s side, whose injuries hadn’t diminished.
Light elements were input into Roy’s body under Egbert’s trembling palms.
Lan Zhe constantly monitored the changes in the two-star mercenary’s body. After personally witnessing some green traces escaping from Roy’s body, he couldn’t help but curse, “F*ck.”
These traces meant that Roy had been constantly feeling Elvi using wind elements to influence and manipulate his body throughout his battle with Elvi.
Even with mutated ice elements, this meant Roy could have died at any moment.
Yet when taking over the battle, the mercenary who could be hired for ten gold coins a month was fiercer than anyone…
The potions took effect, and the wounds on Roy’s body quickly recovered over large areas. After the latter regained mobility, Lan Zhe’s body went soft and he nearly collapsed directly on the ground.
“Huff…! Huff… Don’t, cough cough, don’t stay here.” The Raven lay on the ground breathing heavily.
“This place isn’t particularly far from Ergonikin. With such a large battle commotion, they couldn’t have not noticed, and moreover…” The Raven looked at Gabriel.
This humanoid monster beast had been expelled at a very coincidental time; he had no idea that Elvi had reached cooperation with the Beast Tribe.
Under these circumstances, once the monster beasts of Ergonikin revealed this point, Gabriel would probably launch an attack on them immediately.
It should be known that Gabriel’s attack on Elvi, who had reached cooperation with the Beast Tribe, was already equivalent to betraying the king he spoke of.
