“Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam!”
When Fang Li’s group saw the soldiers coming to support them, the army ahead also formed a formation and started shooting at the Aragami around them.
Naturally, human weapons posed no threat to the Aragami, not even a little bit. However, just as Fang Li was able to restrain the Aragami through close combat, shooting with firearms could also somewhat impede the Aragami’s attacks.
As a result, the Aragami surrounding Fang Li’s group found it difficult to continue their assault amidst the hail of bullets, and their encirclement was disrupted.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Li’s group finally broke free from the Aragami’s encirclement and rushed into the ranks of the military.
“Are you okay?” Fang Li gently set Hibari down from his embrace and politely asked.
“I’m… I’m okay.” Hibari seemed to have just regained consciousness and looked at Fang Li with a completely changed look in her eyes. She exclaimed in astonishment, “You’re amazing, you can defeat an Aragami.”
“Defeat?” Fang Li couldn’t help but laugh when he heard that.
Could that really be considered a defeat?
Although he didn’t use the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Fang Li had used all his abilities just now, but he couldn’t even defeat a single Aragami. He could only suppress it.
“It may not be a small Aragami, but it’s not a large Aragami either.” Due to their cellular composition, the more Oracle Cell they combine together, the larger and stronger the Aragami’s size and abilities become.
After all, if each Oracle Cell has a function, the larger the body, the stronger the Aragami’s power would become. Based on size and abilities, Aragami can generally be classified as small, medium, and large.
Small Aragamis are relatively easy to deal with, and regular God Eaters can easily take them down. In the hands of elite God Eaters like Amamiya Rindou, Tachibana Sakuya, and Soma, they are merely fodder to be dispatched with a single slash or shot.
Medium-sized Aragami are more difficult to deal with. For example, the Kongou Shaped Aragami would require some effort for a single God Eater to defeat.
As for large Aragami, they are even harder to handle.
It is said that above the large Aragami, there are various Fallen Species of Aragamis.
These Aragami, either with immense size or enhanced abilities, even if a squad of God Eaters surrounds them, it is extremely difficult and dangerous to annihilate them.
And those Aragami that stand at the top of the Aragami hierarchy, bearing the names of deities from various myths, possess the ability to turn an entire region into scorched earth in a split second. Their power is terrifying beyond imagination.
Aragamis are indeed challenging opponents.
Just now, Fang Li was dealing with Kongou-like Aragami at best, which could only be considered a medium-sized Aragami. Without using his trump cards, he could only suppress and restrain it.
“If I didn’t enhance my AGI (Agility) to a certain extent, I probably wouldn’t have dared to take that initial blow head-on, would I?” Just as enhancing STR, VIT (Endurance), and AGI (Agility) can to some extent enhance stamina, enhancing AGI (Agility) definitely improves footwork.
After all, without sufficient leg power, how can one achieve exceptional speed?
Therefore, enhancing AGI (Agility) can to some extent strengthen footwork and even enhance the resilience of muscles, allowing Agility to fully burst forth and demonstrate its abilities. It’s just the result of the dataization of the panels provided by the Main God’s Dimension. It’s impossible to be so precise about every aspect, but it’s definitely reasonable.
“However, if I want to complete my Quest, it seems I’ll really have to put in some effort.” While Fang Li was immersed in these thoughts, Amamiya Rindou also stepped forward.
“I am Amamiya Rindou, the captain of the First Unit,” Amamiya Rindou introduced himself to the army men. “Who is in charge here?”
“It’s me.” A middle-aged man stepped forward, his tone somewhat awe-inspiring, and said, “I am the captain here.”
“Can you tell me about the current situation?” Amamiya Rindou cut straight to the point. “Wasn’t the Aragami attack supposed to happen in three days? Why are they already appearing on the outskirts?”
Faced with Amamiya Rindou’s questioning, the captain gave a troubled explanation and this question also changed the complexion of the entire group.
…
“The vanguard force?” Amamiya Rindou exclaimed with a surprised expression on his face. “You’re saying that the Aragami appearing here are only the vanguard force?”
“Yes.” The captain nodded solemnly and said, “According to the intelligence, the number of Aragami gathering outside the Russian Branch is too numerous to count for small Aragami, and there are at least tens of thousands of medium-sized Aragami, with nearly a thousand large Aragami. It’s an unprecedentedly large-scale attack.”
Hearing this, Amamiya Rindou, Tachibana Sakuya, and Soma all tightened their faces, while Hibari was at a loss.
Beside them, Fang Li also furrowed his brows.
Although he couldn’t understand Russian or Japanese, the main Divine Envoy had a hidden ability that ensured smooth communication. The language of others would be heard as a familiar language in their ears, and his own language would be heard by others as their subconsciously recognized language.
Therefore, Fang Li could still understand what the captain was saying and it was precisely because he understood this that Fang Li couldn’t help but have a question.
And this question was also on the minds of the First Unit God Eaters.
“Why would there be such a large gathering of Aragami launching a coordinated attack on this base?” Amamiya Rindou voiced the obvious question.
“No matter what, it’s suspicious that such a large-scale Aragami attack is organized and purposeful, even including a vanguard force,” Amamiya Rindou said.
Upon hearing these words, the captain fell silent. Shortly after, the captain revealed a bombshell piece of information.
“Although we don’t know the exact reason, it is speculated that the reason the Aragami have gathered in such large numbers for this attack is that there is a leader…”
These words sent a chill running through the hearts of the people present.
“A leader…” The expression on Amamiya Rindou’s face turned grave, and he muttered in a low voice, “Someone who can lead a large number of Aragami, including the large ones?”
If that was the case, then undoubtedly, the opponent could only be one of those terrifying Aragami that bear the names of deities from myths.
Realizing this, Fang Li couldn’t help but bitterly smile inwardly.
“This is troublesome…” He hadn’t expected this Aragami extermination mission to be so dangerous.
Of course, the Main God’s Dimension’s Quest didn’t require Fang Li to defeat that terrifying Aragami leader.
So, that terrifying Aragami leader probably belonged to the realm of an unreachable Hidden Quest, just like the Hunters in the previous world.
“Now, what should I do?”
