In reality, the damage inflicted by the members of the First Unit didn’t concern Aphrodite in the slightest.
Sakuya’s shooting was only meant as a distraction, a flash of bullet light.
Although Soma’s attack was powerful enough to take down a large Aragami with just one strike, for Aphrodite, it was merely a momentary pain similar to a sharp pin pricking against the skin and it didn’t even pierce through Aphrodite’s skin.
Amamiya Rindou’s attack had some effect, but the wounds his attacks created, although they seemed exaggerated, were equivalent to a scratch on a human’s fingertip when considering Aphrodite’s enormous size.
Therefore, Aphrodite didn’t pay any attention to the attacks from Amamiya Rindou, Sakuya, and Soma.
However, in that instant, Aphrodite’s instincts screamed in desperation.
Though the blade light descending from above wasn’t particularly terrifying, Aphrodite’s instincts told it that once struck, it would face a fate no better than instant death.
“————Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa————”
At that moment, Aphrodite let out its most ear-piercing cry to date. Without hesitation, it abandoned its focus on Amamiya Rindou, Sakuya, and Soma, directing all of its energy toward Fang Li’s body.
“Hū————!”
In the next instant, the thick and robust vines surged upward, accompanied by a howling gale as they ruthlessly lashed out in Fang Li’s direction.
The force was even more ferocious than before, utilizing all of Aphrodite’s might.
In this situation, even before the vines reached Fang Li, the powerful gusts they generated had already swept against his body. It caused Fang Li, who descended from the sky, to momentarily falter and decelerate.
Then, the vine carrying terrifying power reached in front of Fang Li, countering the blade light he had unleashed just a second ago at an extremely fast speed.
As Fang Li faced the incoming vine that was about to crash down on him, he knew that his certain kill strike probably wouldn’t land on Aphrodite’s body.
Thus, Fang Li shifted his ice-blue Mystic Eyes towards the vine that was rapidly approaching him. In a split second, he visually captured the cracks in the form of Death Lines.
Immediately, without losing any momentum, he swiftly slashed with his dagger.
“Pū chī————!”
The dagger, minuscule in comparison to the vine, effortlessly penetrated its interior, piercing through the skin and slicing along the crack that only Fang Li could see. It cut through with astonishing speed, cleanly splitting the immensely thick vine in half.
“Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaa————!”
Aphrodite let out an enraged cry. All the vines on its body thrashed violently, resembling a storm, shooting one after another toward Fang Li, enveloping his entire field of vision.
Each vine possessed power no weaker than the previous attack.
Even with Fang Li’s Endurance reaching 18 points, being hit by just one would lead to a near-death state if not outright death.
Adding to that, Aphrodite had hundreds of vines, and at this moment, they all rebelled and assaulted Fang Li, as if a riot had broken out. As long as Fang Li couldn’t evade all of the attacks, he would be finished here.
However, Fang Li descended from the sky and had no place to leverage or evade from. He was trapped.
This was practically a hopeless situation.
If it were the Fang Li from before his battle with the Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father), the only thing he could do in this situation would probably be to await his death.
However, the current Fang Li was different from before.
As the vines assaulted him like a storm, Fang Li abruptly turned his body, shifting his figure half a position away.
“BOOM————!”
One of the vines struck the spot where Fang Li had been just a second ago, as if smashing into thin air, causing a terrifying sonic boom.
Seizing this moment, Fang Li made his move.
With a “Pā” sound, Fang Li landed on the surface of the vine and, like a spider, quickly tensed his limbs and leaped away.
One after another, the vines fiercely lashed out, but Fang Li, transformed into a spider-like figure, dodged them one by one with extraordinary speed, landing in empty spaces.
Fang Li, resembling a spider-like figure dashing rapidly on a vine, swiftly leaped and descended on the surface of the vines, evading the attacks that came one after another. He moved at an astonishing speed until he finally reached Aphrodite’s front.
Once again, his ice-blue Mystic Eyes fell upon Aphrodite’s face, which was as beautiful as a young girl’s.
More precisely, they were fixed on Aphrodite’s forehead.
With the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Fang Li captured the fatal Death Line of Aphrodite.
That was where Aphrodite’s core lay.
“Die!”
Fang Li raised his dagger as his figure flashed toward Aphrodite’s forehead and viciously thrust it down.
However, just at that moment, Amamiya Rindou’s voice reached Fang Li’s ears.
“Be careful!”
Upon hearing Amamiya Rindou’s voice, Fang Li’s ice-blue eyes instantly focused. Without any hesitation, he halted his attack and swiftly evaded, shifting his figure to the side.
“Pū————!”
In the split second Fang Li dodged, a ray of light violently shot past his original position, piercing through the afterimage he left behind.
Seeing this scene, Fang Li’s complexion slightly changed.
Although it was only a split second, Fang Li successfully caught sight of the true form of that ray of light.
It was a stream of water that violently shot at an extremely terrifying speed.
Aphrodite’s lips curled up slightly, and from its mouth, slender streams of water gushed out. Although these streams appeared small, each one shot out at a speed surpassing bullets, possessing enough power to penetrate Fang Li’s body or even pierce through a one-meter-thick steel wall.
Faced with such an attack, Fang Li could only do his best to dodge. He relied on the vines that Aphrodite had not yet retracted, employing his figure’s eerie movements to barely avoid those streams of water.
“Bang bang bang bang bang————!”
At this moment, the sound of submachine gunshots rang out, followed by a sudden barrage that struck Aphrodite’s face.
“Pang pang pang pang pang————!”
One bullet after another exploded, causing Aphrodite’s face to be hit like fireworks, abruptly shifting to the side.
Fang Li couldn’t help but be taken aback when he saw it.
In the distance, on the ground, Alisa wielded her submachine gun and continuously shot at Aphrodite.
