“Pū chī—!”
With the burst of blood, the dagger, resembling a waning moon, slashed across the Death Line of the Aragami named Chi-You. And that Death Line was precisely the most crucial one beneath the entire body of the Aragami.
“Pēng—!”
A crisp sound emanated from within Chi-You’s body.
It was the sound of the Aragami’s core shattering.
Having its Death Line severed, even a being formed purely from Oracle Cells couldn’t avoid being forcibly driven towards its demise at this moment.
Therefore, Fang Li killed the core of this Aragami and the Aragami named Chi-You completely stiffened on the spot, unable to move any longer.
Meanwhile, Fang Li, as if appearing out of nowhere, suddenly stood behind Chi-You and watched it slowly fall to the ground.
At this moment, time stopped.
The roaring sound of the Ogretail Aragami came to a halt.
Alisa, who had just rushed out from the corner, was also frozen in place.
The entire process hadn’t even taken three seconds.
In just three seconds, Fang Li utilized the Flashing Dash technique from the Nanaya Assassination Technique to not only bypass Ogretail Aragamis one after another but also arrive in front of Chi-You at the exact moment when Alisa was about to launch her attack. He accomplished an instant kill.
It was astonishing.
As a result, this frozen moment seemed to last for an unknown duration.
After a while, the stiffened corpse of Chi-You slowly toppled over, and with each “bang” sound, time resumed its flow.
Only then did Fang Li slowly retract the Moon Blade, looking at Alisa, who remained completely stunned, and said with a self-deprecating laugh, “Don’t just stand there, quickly finish off these Aragami.”
Alisa finally snapped out of her daze after hearing Fang Li’s words.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!—!”
In the next second, gunshots resounded throughout the ruins, causing the wailing of one Aragami after another to resound, spreading incessantly.
…
It had to be said that there was a significant gap between Aragami.
Leaving aside Fallen Species and Deusphage Species, just considering the gap between Small-Type, Medium-Type, and Large-Type Aragami was already substantial.
For Large-Type Aragami like Vajra, previously, Fang Li wouldn’t have been able to deal with them without the expectation of getting injured. Even now, he only had the confidence to deal with one. If there were multiple, it would be a bit troublesome.
For Medium-Type Aragami, even before comprehending Flashing Scabbard and Flashing Dash, Fang Li could still suppress them. If he wanted to kill them, it would only take some time, and he would eventually succeed. Now, he even had the ability to instantly kill them.
As for Small-Type Aragami, it was basically a matter of killing them however Fang Li pleased. Even Alisa, a novice God Eater, could handle a dozen or twenty Ogretail Aragami, proving that the power of Aragami in this category wasn’t particularly strong.
At least in Fang Li’s opinion, Small-Type Aragami were at most slightly stronger than Kabane, maybe weaker than a Wazatori among the Kabane.
The truly terrifying aspect of Aragami lay in the fact that there was no way to kill them except with a God Arc, just like how Kabane wouldn’t die unless their hearts were pierced.
In other words, as long as this issue was resolved, everything would be easier.
From this, one could see the gap between Small-Type, Medium-Type, and Large-Type Aragami.
Therefore, it didn’t take long for Alisa to dispatch a group of Ogretail Aragami.
As for Fang Li, after dealing with Chi-You, he made his way to the helicopter. He took out the touchscreen panel given to him by Amamiya Rindou and connected it to the helicopter’s cockpit using a wire.
Immediately, the programs on the touchscreen panel started to automatically pop up one by one, causing the signal lights on the helicopter’s cockpit to start glittering one by one.
“How is it?” Alisa entered the helicopter and nervously asked Fang Li, “Can we use this helicopter?”
“It’s still under detection,” Fang Li replied, looking at the program diagrams that were automatically jumping on the touchscreen panel. “Fortunately, the First Unit gave us this thing. Otherwise, even if the helicopter was right in front of us, we wouldn’t be able to do anything.”
After all, Fang Li wasn’t a military enthusiast, and flying a helicopter was something that had nothing to do with him in his entire life.
Although Alisa had a military rank and could be considered a soldier strictly speaking, as a God Eater, her training focused on combat enhancement. She had no problem driving a vehicle, but piloting a helicopter was an impossible task for her.
Fortunately, Amamiya Rindou had anticipated this and gave the touchscreen panel to Fang Li.
After all, this was the future of 2070. Even if humans didn’t live in luxury in this era, technology was far more advanced than before.
Naturally, the ultimate goal of technological progress was to enhance human convenience. So, while manual operation might be necessary, intelligent operation was not an impossible task.
In this way, all Fang Li needed to do was connect the instrument to the helicopter’s control console and then leave everything else to the instrument.
Time slowly passed in this situation.
After who knows how long, a green window popped up on the touchscreen panel in Fang Li’s hand and seeing this scene, both Fang Li and Alisa were taken aback, but soon they became delighted.
“The detection is complete. Although there is some wear and tear, there are no malfunctions on the helicopter. It can be used perfectly,” Fang Li read the information on the pop-up window and then looked at Alisa, smiling. “Our luck has finally turned around.”
Hearing this, Alisa couldn’t help but smile slightly and asked, “So, shall we return to the Russian Branch now?”
“That’s what I’m thinking,” Fang Li turned his head and looked outside the helicopter, saying, “Although I would like to settle things with Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) once and for all, I’m still too weak right now. Even if I could kill it, it would definitely come at a great cost. So, let’s leave it at that for now.”
“But I will definitely settle this score in the future,” Fang Li shifted his gaze to Alisa’s body and asked softly, “What about you? Is it okay for you to leave like this?”
Alisa lowered her head and a light of struggle flickered in her eyes. After a while, Alisa raised her head again, her eyes filled with strong determination, and she spoke a line.
“I also need time to become stronger. When I truly become stronger, I will make Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) return everything he owes me.”
“Is that so?” Fang Li closed his eyes, but a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Seeing that Alisa could calmly admit her abilities and even mention Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) without losing control of her emotions, Fang Li knew that Alisa had come to terms with many things.
“Well then, let’s prepare to set off,” Fang Li tapped the screen of the touchscreen panel.
“Switch the controls to automatic mode and set the destination to the Russian Branch.”
In the next second, the helicopter, lying on a pile of ruins, slowly started up, the rotor blades spinning as it flew into the sky.
