"Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam!"
The muzzle of the submachine gun roared, causing the chaotic sound of gunshots to echo in the sky. The bullets, forming a curtain of rain, stormed forward like a violent storm, raining down upon a group of Ogretail bodies.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
In the next moment, each bullet caused a violent explosion, igniting flames that engulfed the bodies of the Aragami one after another. The Ogretail Aragami let out a cry of agony as their bodies were scorched by the flames, emitting smoke as they slowly collapsed to the ground.
Watching this scene, Alisa's eyes narrowed slightly as she transformed her God Arc in her hand into the form of a longsword.
However, instead of rushing forward, Alisa pointed the tip of the sword at a fallen Aragami and forcefully pressed down on the hilt.
"Rooooooaaaaar!"
A ferocious beast-like roar suddenly resounded.
However, it wasn't the cry of the Aragami, but the cry of Alisa's God Arc in her hand.
Suddenly, the God Arc in Alisa's hand burst with a black surface, gradually condensing into a shape resembling the head of a certain Aragami.
Then, the ferocious head shot out from Alisa's God Arc, like a snake springing out of a hole, and swiftly bit down on the fallen Aragami.
"Pū chī!"
The sound of the physical body being crushed echoed in the surrounding as the head tore apart the fallen Aragami, delving into its flesh, and then swallowed a glowing orb within the Aragami's body.
That orb was the Aragami's core.
At that moment, Alisa was utilizing the devouring function unique to close combat type God Arcs. Using this method, Alisa continuously devoured the fallen Aragami, retrieving the cores within their bodies one by one.
Not far away, Fang Li watched this scene with a satisfied expression on his face. He swung the dagger in his hand at an Ogretail Aragami that was pouncing toward him.
"Pū chī!"
With a tearing sound like ripped fabric, the dagger effortlessly cut through the Ogretail Aragami's skin, splattering a large amount of blood into the air. Shortly afterward, Fang Li swiftly turned around, delivering a powerful kick toward the bloodied and howling Ogretail Aragami.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound rang out as the Ogretail Aragami was directly kicked away by the tremendous force, flying out like a ball and crashing onto the ground, sliding towards Alisa's direction.
Seeing this, there was no way Alisa wouldn't understand Fang Li's intention, right?
After a sharp glance in Fang Li's direction, Alisa swiftly transformed her God Arc again and activated the devouring ability, causing the ferocious head to shoot out once more, tearing into the approaching Aragami and devouring its core.
The battle continued in this manner.
Whenever an Aragami attacked Alisa, she would transform her God Arc into a gun form and shoot down the incoming Aragami, then transform it back into a sword and activate the devouring function to retrieve the core.
Whenever an Aragami attacked Fang Li, he would wield his dagger and effortlessly slaughter the Aragami as if cutting through paper. Then, he would kick the half-dead Aragami toward Alisa, allowing her to finish the job.
Although the two seemed incompatible, once they cooperated, they showed remarkable synergy between them.
After all, Alisa was only a rookie, and she had an advantage in standing her ground and shooting rather than engaging in close combat.
Fang Li, although not a God Eater, possesses the formidable weapon known as the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, which unleashes unparalleled destructive power in close combat.
With one in close range and the other in long-range, their cooperation was perfectly suited. Dealing with small Aragami like the Ogretail was a breeze for the two of them, given their abilities.
In a matter of ten minutes, the entire horde of Ogretail Aragami was mercilessly slaughtered with not a single Aragami surviving.
After the battle concluded, Alisa raised her God Arc and pointed it toward the ground. Suddenly, the tip of the God Arc extended, revealing a menacing head that opened its mouth and spat out glowing jewels.
Fang Li approached them without a word and extended his hand, placing it on the pile of jewels. In an instant, the jewels on the ground vanished, entering Fang Li's Black Ring.
Witnessing this scene, Alisa couldn't help but be momentarily stunned. She subconsciously wanted to say something but held her tongue. After all, countless incredible things had already happened before. Did it really matter this time?
With that thought in mind, Alisa remained silent and observed Fang Li, as if trying to see through him completely. Unfortunately, expecting to uncover Fang Li's secrets with just that was nothing but a foolish dream.
"Alright," Fang Li stood up and said to Alisa, "Let's continue on our journey."
Alisa didn't reply but silently followed behind Fang Li, without uttering a word, as they resumed their journey.
From that point on, Fang Li and Alisa continued their activities with little change. They engaged and vanquished Aragami they encountered and continued their journey. They rested when night fell and set off again at dawn.
Under such circumstances, the two of them steadily made their way to their destination.
During this process, they defeated hundreds, if not thousands, of Aragami. Small Aragami were the most common, while medium-sized ones were fewer in number. As for large Aragami, there was only one.
That encounter took place on the second day. While Fang Li and Alisa were traveling as usual and they unexpectedly came across another Vajra.
Upon seeing the Vajra, Alisa's emotions showed signs of losing control, and without much thought, she charged straight at it.
Naturally, she ended up being brutally beaten. If it weren't for Fang Li's quick thinking, realizing the danger when the Vajra entered its charged state and prepared to unleash lightning, rushing in, activating his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception to attack the Vajra's core directly, and killing it, Alisa would have likely suffered another serious injury.
Even so, Fang Li and Alisa sustained some injuries.
Afterward, it seemed that Alisa finally realized the harsh reality of her insufficient strength, and her spirits dipped into a state of despondency.
However, even in that state, Alisa did not abandon her determination to reach Aphrodite's location. She continued to follow Fang Li on their journey.
And so, on the third day, Fang Li and Alisa finally emerged from the wilderness and arrived at the location where Aphrodite had ravaged just a few days ago.
The scene that unfolded before them had left both of them completely speechless.
It was a sight akin to a hellish nightmare.
