The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them-Chapter 100.2

This was already terrifying enough.

Ophelia closed her mouth and fell silent.

The King also told Su Li that since the royal family’s inherited element was water, eight of the Ten Elites were also water elementalists.

In this world, there were broadly only five types of elements.

Excluding mutations, it could be described in one sentence.

“The elements are water, fire, wind, light, and darkness.”

“Thank goodness I haven’t completely forgotten everything I learned from my teachers,” Su Li blurted out as the Pope had already repelled all of the Ten Elites.

They weren’t killed outright, partly because water elements could refract light elements’ attacks, reducing their power, and also because Roy and Egbert had recovered their strength and took the brunt of the Pope’s attacks again.

This couldn’t continue. After the two men exchanged glances, Egbert said, “I’ll handle the next attacks.”

Without thinking, Roy objected, “You can’t withstand it.”

“Even if I can’t withstand it, I must try. As long as Lord Su Li is behind me, never mind just a mere Pope – I could even block the entire world!”

As soon as Egbert finished speaking, he tilted his head to dodge another blade of light shooting down from the sky.

Though he dodged, he hadn’t completely avoided it.

The edge of the light blade still carved a wound across Egbert’s face.

Blood flowed quickly along the straight line of the wound, but Roy noticed that Egbert seemed completely unaware of the injury.

Roy suddenly understood that for Egbert, as long as Su Li was behind him, retreat would never be an option in battle.

At the same time, Roy also realized something…

The two-star mercenary who called himself third-rate noticed from the corner of his eye that the youth standing beside the King and Grand Princess, while not hiding his own brilliance, had that silly black bird perched on his arm and showed no signs of tension or worry on his face.

When Su Li had been beaten by Xiao Zuo for three minutes while in invincible mode in Sadina City, not many people were watching, but afterwards, whenever others chose to ask the pitiful dragon youth about it, Cyril had to reluctantly tell the truth with a frustrated expression.

Moreover, to complete Egbert’s commission (to avoid being continuously threatened by the former Son of Light), Cyril’s drawing skills improved tremendously during that period.

The scene of Xiao Zuo pinning Su Li against a tree was perfectly captured in his drawing.

Although that drawing later became Egbert’s private collection, it didn’t mean others in the small building hadn’t seen it.

In short—

Su Li’s current expression was no different from back then.

He had anticipated this.

So Roy told Egbert, “Then I’ll leave it to you!”

After Egbert nodded, he immediately charged toward the Pope in the high sky while enduring the attacks.

Roy became a true support role, with every ice block he formed appearing perfectly under Egbert’s feet.

Due to the small range, and the fact that the ice blocks would rapidly fall to the ground once Egbert stepped on them, even if the Pope wanted to target these ice blocks that served as Egbert’s foothold, he couldn’t change the fact that Egbert was quickly approaching him.

Close combat—was the only attack method these two men could think of that might give them an advantage.

The Pope was old and had sat in his high position for many years. He was different from the young people in the Mercenary City who would immediately go to the outskirts to fight whenever there was an argument or disagreement.

Moreover, later it wasn’t just humans fighting each other – the Raven had also gotten involved.

Egbert was the type who didn’t show much normally, but whenever he was at a disadvantage or lost during a fight, he would feel unwilling to accept it.

How many beatings he took from the Raven during that time directly corresponded to how strong his close combat ability had become now.

Not being able to fly means no aerial combat capability?

Roy would be the first to disagree.

Moreover, Su Li stood behind them.

This was why they firmly believed they would never lose!

“Have all your subordinates, including yourself and all water elementalists, disperse water element particles into the air.”

Su Li directed the King. He squinted at Egbert, who was barely managing to step on the ice blocks Roy hastily created, then launching attacks at the Pope from these extremely small and dangerous platforms.

This was far more difficult than modern people walking on a tightrope across a cliff.

Because Roy’s ice blocks didn’t exist naturally – after Egbert jumped higher, Roy had to accurately judge Egbert’s landing point from far away, then condense the ice block under his feet, allowing Egbert to precisely step on it at the moment it appeared and use that force to go even higher.

It was like humans challenging divinity through their own abilities.

The King beside Su Li didn’t question him at all.

After Su Li spoke, the King directed the water elementalists among the Ten Elites who could still move to begin releasing their water element particles.

Due to the large number of people and excessive concentration of water elements, Su Li could even see tiny water droplets in the air that were visible to the naked eye but wouldn’t fall. When he instructed again: “Lower the water element density, expand the range as much as possible, preferably covering the entire palace area”…

The tiny water droplets became invisible to the naked eye but created a sticky humidity that could definitely be felt in the air.

In the sky, Egbert continued his attack as if walking a tightrope.

Su Li shouted to Roy from afar, “Now, immediately use all your ice elements to form ice blocks, then make those ice blocks shatter in an instant!”

Roy paused when he heard this, but his hands didn’t stop creating paths for Egbert. He shouted back while facing away from Su Li. “That’s too much to ask of a third-rate mercenary!”

“Do it even if it’s too much!” Su Li shouted back, “You, or rather I, or rather this world, has never had any room to retreat!”

It wasn’t that they couldn’t let the Raven join the fight. Rather, after the King shouted that line “What other unimaginable purpose does he still have!”, Su Li felt a chill in his heart.

He thought of a possibility he didn’t want to accept, but one that had an extremely high likelihood.

Thus, the Raven, who should have been released, remained firmly perched on Su Li’s arm.

This was a battle between humans. Su Li was willing to accept Egbert and Roy’s trust in him, but he couldn’t let these two try to trust the Raven, not even the slightest possibility.

This wasn’t because there was something wrong with the Raven, but rather something more troublesome, more troublesome…

Su Li’s eyes were extremely cold. Usually unable to observe the elements used by people from this other world, he could only observe them after they formed actual substances. But now, Su Li clearly noticed a force field that seemed to be constantly expanding around the Pope hovering in mid-air.

The Pope’s voice also reached the ears of everyone on the ground.

“The sky is territory that only gods can enter.”

“Only gods, only gods can do it!”

As that power continued to expand, Su Li never imagined his voice could become so sharp and quick.

“Roy! Act—!!”

What did it mean to use all ice elements?

All meant including the power supporting Egbert’s foothold.

“I already said a third-rate mercenary can’t do this!”

While Roy shouted this, he was actually continuously sending ice elements toward where Egbert was in the high sky.

Previously, his ability to use ice elements to create ice for Egbert’s footholds wasn’t just due to battle awareness and exceptional eyesight – more importantly, Egbert had an alchemy device that could quickly transmit Roy’s ice elements.

That thing could only create small ice blocks like now – once the power output increased, that alchemy device would become a one-time use item.

This meant that if Roy followed Su Li’s instructions, he would completely abandon Egbert’s survival chances in the sky.

By now they were already hundreds of meters away from the Pope’s position, yet Egbert was still continuously confronting and exchanging attacks with the Pope under these conditions…

Falling from this height, even someone as extraordinarily powerful as Egbert might not survive.

To trust or not to trust?!

No matter how much the third-rate two-star mercenary despised Egbert as a pervert, he never thought Egbert deserved to die.

But…

But ah!

Su Li had already said so.

Could they trust him? They should be able to trust him.

Perhaps it wasn’t even a question of whether to trust or not!

That pervert up there, who had clearly sneaked something extra into the little master’s alchemy device, heard Su Li’s words even from such a great distance.

So Egbert didn’t continue jumping upward according to his original trajectory. When he needed to jump again, he stopped.

And that ice block he had already stepped on was falling downward at a speed exceeding gravity.

Roy cursed. “You better f*cking wait!”

Then, Roy channeled all his power into that alchemy device, and through it, quickly dispersed high-concentration ice element particles around Egbert.

Until the sound of the alchemy device shattering, which only Egbert could hear, rang in his ears.

The howling wind during the fall covered his hearing, and Egbert could only see for an instant an ice-blue color that almost covered the entire sky.

Then after another second, all the ice-blue shattered into dust.

The ice block fragments instantly lowered the temperature in the high altitude, and the rapidly falling Egbert gave up watching this scene. Before completely losing consciousness, or rather truly dying…

He wanted to focus all his attention on Su Li.

But below, the figure of the youth who should have been standing beside the King and Ophelia had completely disappeared.

What happened?

Questions questions questions questions questions questions questions questions questions questions…

Countless doubts, and a hint of hope that shouldn’t exist at this moment, surged endlessly in his heart.

Would he die? Probably not.

But even if he died like this, he probably wouldn’t have any regrets, because he had achieved his goal—— as long as he wasn’t dead, no one would be able to harm Lord Su Li.

And if he died here…

Then there was nothing he could do about it.

Egbert felt no regret; he was even happy at this moment that he could finally do something for Su Li.

Just that he felt somewhat unwilling…

Unwilling that the book buried in the coffin hadn’t been spread yet.

Unwilling that his position by Lord Su Li’s side would be replaced by others in the future.

That is to say!

If he really would die, if he really died in front of Lord Su Li…

He would still be unwilling.

Would still be unwilling!

Until suddenly he heard the youth’s somewhat hoarse roar in his ears.

“If you’re going to jump down, at least tell Roy first, you bastard!”

No one knew how many curses went through Su Li’s mind when he heard the Raven say “Egbert gave up continuing to jump up.”

Giving up jumping up was equivalent to giving up attacking, and also giving up Roy’s continued support with ice block footholds.

How the f*ck was this any different from bungee jumping off a cliff without any protection?!

Su Li was scared half to death, and the Raven was also quite cooperative, transforming from an ordinary crow into the giant raven that had appeared in Jisuo Town before, seeming to block out the sky and sun.

Su Li sat on his back, his hair disheveled by the sudden fierce wind, but his gaze was extremely sharp as he watched where Egbert was falling.

Then, at a distance of ten meters, he saw Egbert with his eyes closed…

With a smile at the corner of his mouth.

F*ck!

Su Li grabbed Egbert’s neck, when endless brilliant light burst forth in this man’s eyes as he suddenly opened them, with a face still bearing injuries.

Su Li cursed. “You really are a pervert.”

Then, Su Li coldly smiled and released his hand from Egbert’s neck.

“You idiot.” Su Li sat down on the Raven’s shiny feathered back.

“Now, immediately, release all the light elements in your body in the form of light and heat.”

Su Li looked up at the force field around the Pope that was expanding more and more violently.

Feeling the wind blowing past his ears that wasn’t warm but definitely not cold either, after being gently placed on the ground by the Raven, he ignored the groan from Egbert who had been thrown to the ground, and reached out to catch a still-intact Daphne flower petal that had floated over from somewhere.

He looked up.

Looking up at the natural scenery in the sky that had suddenly changed.

Dark clouds gathered, thunder and lightning were about to strike.

But it still lacked something——

A bit of luck.

Su Li crushed the Daphne flower petal in his hand, and as that hint of fragrance entered his nostrils from his palm, visibly, the force field that had already been constantly expanding around the Pope in the sky completely erupted.
