I Won't Run Away Alone Either

The silence lingered in the dilapidated ruins.

Not long after, shadowy figures gradually appeared all around, slowly approaching.

Small Aragami with Oni-faced Giant-tailed gradually walked in from all around and entered the open space.

"Roar..."

"Roar..."

Amidst the faint roars, the Oni-faced Giant-tailed Aragami began to survey its surroundings, searching for prey.

Under these circumstances, it wasn't long before the several Oni-faced Giant-tailed saw a pile of minced meat on the open ground.

That was the corpse of the three-headed Vajra, crushed by the Father! Deus!.

Moreover, even the Father's severed jaw lay in a pool of blood, radiating a chilling aura.

Upon seeing this scene, the several Oni-faced Giant-tailed Aragami couldn't help but let out a joyful cry.

For these small Aragami living at the very bottom, the flesh and blood of the large Aragami are definitely a great source of nourishment.

Not to mention, there is also the jaw of Father! Deus!, there.

Compared to ordinary Vajra, this mutated species has undergone a further mutation, resulting in even greater power and making its flesh and blood more precious.

So, several Oni-faced Giant-tailed immediately pounced on it and began to gnaw on the corpse of their kind, which was far superior to themselves.

In the ruins, the sounds of wild beasts devouring their prey gradually echoed.

The several Oni-faced Giant-tailed failed to notice a figure lurking in the corner of the ruins.

Seeing the Oni-faced Giant-tailed, Alisa breathed a sigh of relief and glanced to her side.

There, Fang Li, Fang Li had fallen into a coma, was being supported by Alisa. His face was contorted with intense pain, causing him to break out in a sweat.

Even the cold-hearted Alisa knew that Fang Li's current situation was very bad.

The injuries weren't as serious as I'd imagined; apart from the abdominal wound, the rest were just minor injuries.

The bleeding from the abdominal wound had stopped, so there shouldn't be any serious problems.

However, Fang Li not only fell into a coma, but also looked like he was in a lot of pain.

Why?

As she said this, Alisa couldn't help but recall what had just happened, her gaze drifting to the back of Fang Li's hand.

There was a faint, mysterious tattoo imprinted on it, which was hard to notice unless you looked closely.

That mysterious pattern was just now shining with dazzling light.

As the light shone forth, Fang Li's strength suddenly surged, ultimately forcing the Father! Deus! to retreat.

Looking back now, it all seems so bizarre.

So, could the culprit behind this strange situation be this pattern?

It must be said that Alisa is indeed not stupid; she guessed it right away.

While the effects of the Holy Mark are extremely powerful, the side effects are also considerable.

This side effect manifests itself in the burden it places on the user.

Moreover, because the Holy Mark are powers deeply embedded in the soul, this burden is directed at the soul, not at Fang Li's body.

Therefore, Fang Li is now not only in a deep coma, but also suffering immense pain, as if experiencing a nightmare.

Alisa was unaware of this.

However, Alisa could still see just how bad Fang Li's condition was.

I'm afraid it will be a while before Fang Li wakes up.

During this time, Alisa not only had to protect Fang Li while she was injured, but also had to find a way to take care of Fang Li until he woke up.

To be honest, it would have been absolutely impossible for Alisa to take care of someone in the past.

However, at this moment, Alisa could not bring herself to abandon Fang Li.

Because that's what Fang Li said at that time.

"I will not run away alone."

Recalling Fang Li's gentle expression at that time, Alisa stared at Fang Li and spoke softly, as if talking to herself.

"I won't run away alone either."

After saying that, Alisa led Fang Li toward an abandoned mansion next door.

"Roar..."

"Roar..."

On the open ground of the ruins, more and more wild gods began to gather, making the roars increasingly loud.

One by one, the wild gods were drawn to Vajra's flesh and blood, gathering on the open ground of the ruins and beginning to devour Vajra's corpse.

Nearby, on the top floor of an abandoned mansion, Alisa saw this scene through the window and couldn't help but feel relieved.

"If the target is just Vajra's corpse, then the helicopter should be fine for the time being."

You see, the helicopter that Fang Li and Alisa found was their hope for returning to the Russian Branch.

If it gets devoured by the Aragami, then it's not worth the loss.

"Hopefully, those few Vajra corpses can hold out a little longer and not disappear so quickly."

The Aragami is, after all, just an aggregate of pure Oracle Cell; it takes shape only because of the existence of its core.

As long as the core of the Aragami is not removed, even if its body is torn apart, it will recover after a period of time.

If the core of the Aragami is removed, the Aragami's corpse will once again transform into pure Oracle Cell, evaporating in the air until it is attracted by another core and reassembles into a new Aragami.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, the Aragami can never be completely eradicated.

As long as the Oracle Cell exist, the Wild Gods will be inexhaustible.

Currently, the cores of those Vajra that were crushed by Father! Deus! have not yet been devoured and can continue to exist.

"Hopefully, no Aragami that likes to prey on helicopters has appeared."

Muttering to herself, Alisa turned her head and looked into the room.

There, on a tattered bed, Fang Li lay panting, sweat streaming down his face.

Seeing Fang Li's pained expression, Alisa remained silent for a while before stepping forward, taking out a handkerchief and a military water bottle from her person. After wetting the handkerchief, she began to wipe Fang Li's sweat.

However, Fang Li's breathing had not calmed down, making his lips feel dry.

Seeing this, Alisa tried to feed Fang Li water, but she couldn't get him to drink it.

At that moment, Alisa struggled to her feet, then sighed in resignation, poured the water from the kettle into her mouth, and helped Fang Li.

"Hmm..."

Her crimson lips pressed against Fang Li's, silencing Fang Li disordered breathing.

Immediately, Alisa passed the water from her mouth to him.

"Gurgle..."

With a swallowing sound, Fang Li finally drank the water.

Alisa was delighted and immediately fed him mouthfuls of water in this way.
