The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a Deity by the Extraordinary Them-Chapter 57 - Mutual Ambush

Dawn was like a sword blade cutting through the darkness. Egbert walked towards the small building etched deeply in his memory, covered in morning dew, his heart brimming with unrestrained excitement.

After careful calculation, he hadn’t seen Lord Su Li for 71 days, 12 hours, and 38 minutes.

The troublesome affairs in Jisuo Town had hindered his steps, and the battle with the ninth-grade monster beast had repeatedly prolonged his time.

The people from the Dark Church, who constantly tried to probe whether this former Son of Light was still aligned with the Church of Light, continuously watching him with suspicious eyes, truly irritated Egbert to the point where he wanted to kill those people directly.

Everything was so tedious and disgusting.

But whenever he remembered that Lord Su Li also detested such things, yet still wanted to change them, to transform these despicable things into something less repulsive and potentially acceptable, Egbert would feel less frustrated.

However, upon careful consideration, he still needed to interact with Su Li up close.

Only by getting close to Lord Su Li, just like how humans enjoy cuddling and rubbing a kitten’s belly, could Egbert replenish the energy consumed during these days.

That’s right, exactly like that.

The golden key inserted into the lock, and the gaze he detected before even entering the door made Egbert casually speculate that Roy and Lan Zhe had discovered his return.

When a thought suddenly jumped out of his subconscious about these two currently staying in the peaceful Sadina City and whether their abilities had progressed, Egbert slightly bent down to place the gifts from Jisuo Town on the cabinet by the entrance, involuntarily imagining Lord Su Li’s joyful expression upon seeing the gifts…

Egbert’s breath quickened for a moment as he looked up towards the stairs…

In that instant, he was so shocked by a bird on a hanging painting at the staircase that he reflexively pulled out his great sword and stabbed forward.

“I bet my everything on protecting the Lord!”

In that moment, the former Son of Light’s mind was filled with conspiracy theories.

The ninth-grade monster beast’s assassination plan hadn’t been executed as initially conceived. And after severely wounding it, no one believed it would make a comeback in a short time.

Monster beasts were different from humans in their developmental capabilities.

Compared to humans who excel in various fields like alchemy or pharmaceutical arts, monster beasts typically recover from injuries by devouring their own kind or humans, or directly consuming raw materials to heal wounds.

In terms of actual effectiveness, their recovery speed was negligible.

And yet…

The stinking crow standing on the hanging painting, staring at him with eyes devoid of whites, had not only recovered to its peak strength but also let out a short, meaningless “Caw”.

While blue veins throbbed on Egbert’s forehead, he decisively gripped the great sword formed from light elements and charged directly at the crow.

Unlike Egbert, who was still concerned about potentially waking Su Li, the black crow ruthlessly launched a mental attack with its gaze.

If this were in the Monster Forest, Jisuo Town, or even inside Sadina City, Egbert would have attacked without hesitation.

But this stinking crow was actually in his home! His headquarters!

And in the private domain of the person he cherished!

“Caw,” the raven openly mocked, “Humans are truly peculiar creatures.”

“Being able to find me here shows I underestimated your tracking abilities.”

“But now, this ends here.”

The raven’s hoarse voice spoke its unilateral perception.

“I don’t believe you alone can defeat me at full strength with all my bodily injuries recovered.”

Compared to Egbert, who immediately widened his pupils and launched an attack upon first seeing him, the raven actually had no intention of fighting Egbert in this small building.

There were two reasons for this. Lan Zhe, who provided him with medicinal herbs to treat his wounds, was a dark element wielder, and dark elements have always been marginalized within human groups. If Lan Zhe were exposed…

Moreover, that child had some connection to Na’an.

The other reason was about Su Li.

That strange child who made the raven curious.

Before being confirmed as a raven, he was treated as another bird species more despised by humans.

Yet, despite this, that child had still reached out to him.

And then returned to the small building to bandage his wounds.

But before that, the child had not confirmed from anyone whether he was a raven or the type of blackbird he himself despised.

When Lan Zhe, who also possessed dark elements, revealed the raven’s identity, the raven clearly saw Su Li exhale in relief.

Su Li seemed completely uninterested in the human-attributed calamity narratives about ravens.

Compared to the crow’s ability to be easily isolated by elements and its defecation attack, what ravens represented should have been even more terrifying to humans…

But the reality was that Su Li had even wished him a speedy recovery.

This human child was too strange.

It had even made a ninth-grade monster beast unable to help but question whether it had seen too few humans before.

Before completely understanding the other party, the raven was unwilling to involve that elementless child in his battle with this light element holder.

That child would only be carelessly wounded and sent to hell during the fight between him and this light element holder.

Egbert had no idea that the raven could think so much in such a short time.

He only felt mockery, absolute mockery.

“Are you threatening me?”

For the former Son of Light who had sworn to absolutely prevent Su Li from being harmed before his own death, Egbert would never allow any danger near Su Li.

But this stinking raven, who represented the source of danger, had precisely struck his most sensitive trigger point.

At this moment, Egbert had abandoned any consideration of avoiding waking Su Li.

The most important thing now was to eliminate the enemy and keep Su Li safe!

Egbert charged forward directly.

The raven: Had never seen such an impractical, unaware creature among humans.

To avoid affecting the sleeping Su Li upstairs, the raven dodged the attack while simultaneously wielding a black elemental blade using dark elements.

“Let’s go outside.”

“The space is too small, let’s go outside.”

At the same time, Egbert and the raven spoke in unison.

However, the small building’s entrance was not a mansion-style wide-open gate, but a small door that could barely accommodate two people walking together.

Therefore, to avoid each other’s sneak attacks, they simultaneously launched assaults at each other in the doorway.

Raven & Egbert: As long as we can kill the other quickly, we can avoid potentially involving Su Li!

The same thought, the same decision.

The result was that the door, which had stood firm for who knows how many years, suddenly collapsed.

The commotion was now so large that even those who would typically consider Egbert’s madness as normal could no longer view this as an ordinary incident.

Roy directly jumped down from the second-floor window, roaring at the two creatures standing at the door, staring at each other with fierce gazes. “If you dare cause any more trouble, I’ll make you both die!”

Lan Zhe, with an equally dark expression, walked down the stairs step by step towards the two outside.

To prevent Egbert from going crazy due to not seeing Su Li for a long time, Lan Zhe had been staying in the guest room of the small building, rather than returning to his own house next door.

And now, Egbert was indeed going crazy.

“You—no, you all want to die? Idiots.”

“This is sleeping time, especially for you, Egbert!”

“Have you forgotten that Su Li’s vacation is over, and he has to resume normal classes early this morning?”

“For a child, inability to sleep normally affects not just academics, but also growth. Now, tell me…”

Lan Zhe enunciated each word, “Are. You. Seeking. Death?”

Egbert shrank back slightly, but immediately retorted. “The real idiot is you. You’ve been taking care of Lord Su Li up close, yet you never noticed such a massive threat appearing beside him.”

“This is a ninth-grade monster beast. Do you know what a ninth-grade monster beast means? With just the simplest attack, Lord Su Li could be completely erased from this world without a trace.”

Egbert’s gaze on the raven gradually turned red.

The former Son of Light could not accept such a possibility.

Lan Zhe was stunned for a moment before turning to look at the raven.

He narrowed his eyes, and within just a few seconds, he discovered that the ordinary bird Su Li had casually helped actually had something special…

Feelings of regret and aftermath flashed in his heart. Lan Zhe, who had originally just wanted to beat Egbert thoroughly, now joined Roy in surrounding the raven.

“A ninth-grade monster beast that can already communicate with humans, explain yourself. What are you trying to do?” Roy’s dangerous eyes were fixed firmly on the raven before them.

If he didn’t get a reasonable explanation, Roy would immediately collaborate with Lan Zhe and Egbert to attack the raven.

And the raven: …………

“Caw.”

Just a casual call to ease the awkwardness.

“I have no intention of harming the humans living in this building.”

This specifically referred to Su Li.

There were too many unsolved mysteries about that child, and before getting answers, the raven would not do anything rash.

However, after he spoke, Lan Zhe and Roy became even more vigilant.

Su Li, whose home’s door had been destroyed, jumped directly out of bed, simultaneously wondering if it was an earthquake and weakly opening his door to call Cyril next door.

Cyril, who would not waste time sleeping at night and instead chose to train, had already opened his door just before Su Li could knock.

“What happened?” Cyril vigilantly protected Su Li as they walked downstairs to a more spacious area.

Indoor spaces were never good for battles.

The two children’s unmasked footsteps, once heard by those downstairs, caused everyone to tacitly halt their discussion.

Egbert gave the raven a fierce look that said, “I’ll settle this with you later when it doesn’t affect Su Li.”
