As Fang Li watched the Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) slowly approaching him, even he, who had set aside life and death, couldn’t help but feel somewhat angry at this moment.
With the astonishing speed and excessive agility displayed by the Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) just now, this Aragami could easily kill Fang Li in a split second without the need for the slow approach he was taking now.
Therefore, the Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) only wanted to savor the despair and fear of his opponent before death, indulging in ample mockery.
Understanding this, Fang Li held his injured abdomen and struggled to stand up from the ground, looking at the Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) with ice-blue eyes that gleamed with unprecedented indifference.
“Even if I were to be killed by the lowest-level Ogretail, I absolutely refuse to die at the hands of scum like you.”
Hearing this, the Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father), who was once again locked in by those cold Mystic Eyes, suddenly halted his footsteps and shortly afterward let out an angry growl.
Apparently, the Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) was infuriated by Fang Li’s lack of the expected despair and fear, and with a roar that shook the air, the Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) tensed his limbs, shattered the ground beneath him, and pounced towards Fang Li like an arrow leaving the bowstring.
Seeing this, Fang Li tightly gripped his Moonlight Dagger, preparing for a desperate struggle.
However, at this moment, a burst of chaotic gunshots suddenly rang out.
“Bang bang bang bang bang!”
Accompanied by the sound of gunfire, bullets rained down like a curtain, enveloping the direction of the Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father). The Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father)’s figure instantly became heavily sluggish, and without any hesitation, he jumped, abandoning his attack on Fang Li and dodging to the side.
“Boom boom boom boom boom!”
One after another, incredibly powerful bullets landed on the spot where the Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) had stood just a second ago, creating bullet holes in the ground, with dust flying in all directions.
Witnessing this scene, Fang Li couldn’t help but be startled, and then he remembered something and look towards the direction from which the barrage was coming.
There, Alisa was covered in black dust, holding a gun-shaped God Arc, with a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, and her breathing in disarray.
“Aaah Aaah!”
The next moment, Alisa shouted loudly, and she pulled the trigger of her assault rifle once again, unleashing a barrage of gunfire in the Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father)’s direction.
The Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) squinted his eyes slightly, and his figure erupted once again, moving like a civet, evading each incoming barrage one by one. He then swiftly charged towards Alisa, raising his jet-black claws high.
“Thud!”
As the heavy claws ruthlessly struck the ground, berserk lightning thundered once again, exploding and sending shockwaves in all directions.
Already heavily injured, Alisa didn’t even have time to dodge. She was swept away by the blast wave, just like Fang Li before, and tumbled away.
When she finally came to a stop, Alisa was completely motionless.
In this ruined space, the sound had completely vanished.
Lying on the ground, Alisa gazed at the dark, oppressive sky with a dazed expression on her face. She tried to get up, but she was powerless.
She could no longer feel the pain.
Her body seemed to be growing cold and in this split second, Alisa finally realized how weak she was.
No.
That’s not right.
Rather than saying she was too weak, it was more accurate to say that the Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) was too powerful.
In the end, Alisa had underestimated the power of the Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father).
With Alisa’s current strength, it is almost impossible for her to defeat even an ordinary Vajra. The Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father), on the other hand, possesses an ability that effortlessly annihilates three Vajras, leaving them no chance to resist. The gap between them is immense.
“Father… Mother…” Alisa whispered unconsciously.
“I’m sorry…” she murmured. “I couldn’t avenge you, and I’m truly sorry.”
Amidst Alisa’s murmur, a figure shrouded in a gloomy and cold aura entered her field of vision. The Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father), stood before Alisa, looking down at the girl lying in front of him. His pitch-black face, filled with a sense of evil, bore a smirk of irony.
In the next moment, the Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) slowly opened his mouth and fiercely bit toward Alisa.
Death was just a step away from Alisa.
However, it was not yet her time to die.
“Chī——!” Suddenly, a chilly blade of light flashed through the space, aimed at the Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father)’s face.
“Roar!” The Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) let out a low roar, ceasing his action, and swiftly leaped backward.
It was only at that moment that Alisa noticed that a familiar figure had unknowingly appeared in front of her, drenched in crimson blood, facing away from her.
“Ha… ha…” Fang Li weakly gasped for breath, his hand pressing against his bleeding abdomen, while the other tightly grasped a short dagger. Despite his wretched state, his eyes and expression remained eerily calm as they gazed directly at the Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father).
Being repeatedly blocked, the Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) couldn’t help but let out a furious roar. However, beneath that terrifying roar, Fang Li’s figure remained unwavering, standing tall and resolute.
Gazing at Fang Li’s resolute back, a flicker of emotion finally emerged in Alisa’s bewildered eyes.
In such a situation, Alisa mustered all her strength and uttered a difficult line.
“Quick, escape…”
‘Yes.
Escape.
It’s impossible to win.
Even for you.
One person dying is enough.
I don’t want anyone else to die in front of me because of my weakness.
So, please, escape.
This ending, where the girl named Alisa challenges an invincible enemy beyond her limits, has nothing to do with you.
Escape…
Escape…
Even if it’s just you, at least, you have to survive…’
“You hate me, don’t you?” Alisa’s voice carried a hint of plea.
“In that case, abandon me, an incurable person, and escape alone!”
These words resounded clearly in the sky above the ruins.
But what followed was an exceptionally calm response.
“I won’t escape alone.” With that, Fang Li turned his head, gazing in Alisa’s direction, revealing, for the first time, a somewhat gentle expression in front of her, and spoke these words.
“And I have never once said once that I hate you.”
As his words fell, Fang Li averted his gaze and, under Alisa’s astonished expression, took step by step toward the Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father)’s direction.
With a furious growl from the Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father), Fang Li’s lips curled up.
“If you enjoy killing so much,” he said, “then let’s perform the opening and final act of this play.”
“This play is called a duel.”
