"Pang pang pang pang—!"
"Boom boom boom boom—!"
The sound of gunshots and explosions continued.
Under the cover of Alisa and Tachibana Sakuya, as the vines fell like a curtain of rain, they directly plunged into the ground with heavy force, becoming sturdy pillars.
Fang Li, Amamiya Rindou, and Soma moved at an incredibly fast speed, shuttling between these pillars, constantly closing the distance with Aphrodite.
"Laaaaaaaaaa—!"
It seemed that Aphrodite had completely regarded Fang Li as a threat to its life. As it saw Fang Li rushing towards it, its roar became increasingly berserk.
In the next second, Aphrodite lifted one of its vines high, heavily smashing it down in front of itself.
"Pong—!"
With a muffled explosion, the heavily fallen vine sank into the ground, leaving a deep depression.
At that moment, centered around the sunken ground, a surging and tumultuous water flow suddenly gushed out, like a reservoir flooding, transforming into waves that covered the sky and earth, enveloping the direction of Fang Li's entire group.
"—!"
Seeing this scene, Fang Li couldn't help but be surprised.
He didn't expect that Aphrodite possessed the ability to manipulate water, which explained how it could shoot water from its mouth.
Perhaps this was also the reason why this Deusphage Species Aragami was given the name Aphrodite.
After all, the Greek goddess named Aphrodite was said to have emerged from the sea.
And this Aragami before them also resided in the sea.
So, it wasn't surprising for this Deusphage Species Aragami to use water as a weapon.
Conversely, Amamiya Rindou and Soma seemed to have already witnessed Aphrodite's ability to manipulate water during a previous mission to subjugate it, so they weren't surprised by the current scene.
At that moment, Amamiya Rindou loudly said, "Soma, it's up to you!"
"Hmph!" Soma coldly snorted in reaction and with a burst of speed, he flashed in front of Fang Li and Amamiya Rindou, facing the violently surging wave. Once again, he raised his serrated God Arc high above his head.
In a "Wēng" sound, deep purple light converged on Soma's God Arc, causing a slight vibration in the surrounding air.
"Hah!" Soma shouted coldly and swung down his God Arc heavily, causing the purple light to transform into a surging flood. Like a laser cannon, it clashed head-on with the raging wave.
"BOOM—!"
The purple flood and the berserk wave collided fiercely against each other. In an ear-splitting roar, it was as if two mountains were colliding against each other before they suddenly exploded.
For a moment, a large amount of water splashed, and purple light appeared in the sky above the battlefield, like rain and meteors falling in every corner.
In this situation, Soma reopened the path to Aphrodite.
Fang Li and Amamiya Rindou's figures crossed over Soma, who maintained his sword-swinging stance, and once again soared toward Aphrodite.
Finally, the two of them reached Aphrodite's front.
"BOOM—!"
With a heavy sound of stomping on the ground, Fang Li and Amamiya Rindou simultaneously shot up, transforming into arrows as they soared toward Aphrodite's head.
"Laaaaaaaaaa—!"
Aphrodite's roar finally started to carry a hint of impatience.
Watching the arrow-like figures soaring towards its face, Aphrodite's beautiful eyes filled with hostility. Slowly, it parted its pitiful lips.
"Pū pū pū pū pū—!"
With the sound of piercing through the air, small streams of water shot out from Aphrodite's mouth, resembling high-pressure water guns. With terrifying speed, they traversed through space, aiming for Fang Li.
From beginning to end, Aphrodite only focused on Fang Li, completely disregarding the others. Therefore, Aphrodite had no idea what kind of role the person it underestimated and ignored could play.
"Hah-ah—!"
Amamiya Rindou shouted loudly as he raised his God Arc and activated the chainsaw-like weapon, fiercely swinging it forward.
"Pā—!"
In a crisp sound, a high-pressure water stream shooting towards them was dispersed with a single strike from Amamiya Rindou.
"Pā pā pā pa—!"
At this moment, the heavy God Arc in Amamiya Rindou's hand seemed to transform into a spinning wheel, relentlessly striking against Aphrodite's attacks. With each crisp sound, it shattered every incoming water stream.
Although each high-pressure water stream possessed enough power to pierce through steel walls which would even cause Fang Li to retreat. Amamiya Rindou, however, showed no fear. Like a god of war who was invincible, he directly intercepted all the attacks.
"Go for it, kid!"
Shortly afterward, Amamiya Rindou spun around, tilting his God Arc to the side, and the blade directly swung towards Fang Li's direction.
It happened to be right where Fang Li's foot landed.
"Pā—!"
Another crisp sound echoed.
However, this time, it wasn't the sound of Amamiya Rindou shattering the high-pressure water stream. It was the sound of Fang Li forcefully kicking off the ground with his Moonlight Dagger in hand with the help of Amamiya Rindou's God Arc.
"Chī—!"
Amidst the faint sound of breaking space, Fang Li's figure, like a bullet fired from a gun, sliced through the air as he swiftly advanced toward Aphrodite's face.
With astonishing speed, this time, Fang Li finally leaped to Aphrodite's front.
His ice-blue Mystic Eyes radiated dazzling light like jewels as the sharp dagger resembled a crescent moon, reflecting a dazzling arc of light.
At this moment, Fang Li was right above Aphrodite's forehead.
Compared to Aphrodite's size, Fang Li's figure could only be considered that of a mosquito.
Therefore, in the instant, Fang Li arrived on Aphrodite's forehead, its mouth could no longer aim at him.
"Now is the moment of victory!"
Without any hesitation. Fang Li turned his dagger into a flash of light, cutting through the air. Under the gaze of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, he accelerated to the limit in an instant, swinging his weapon with all his might, slashing towards the crack-like Death Line on Aphrodite's forehead.
This strike was the strike that called for victory.
However, Fang Li didn't notice that Aphrodite's mouth curled up slightly at this moment, it was as if it was mocking something. That expression, along with Aphrodite's beautiful face, was akin to a mischievous girl who successfully played a prank, playfully making people smile.
But that playful appearance didn't symbolize beauty; it symbolized death.
