The Moment That Brought Victory

"Bang bang bang bang bang--!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang—!"

The sounds of gunfire and explosions continued.

Under the cover of Alisa and Sakuya Tachibana, the vines that fell like raindrops struck the ground and sank into the earth with tremendous force, turning into thick pillars.

Fang Li, Soma, and Soma moved at an extremely fast speed between the pillars, constantly closing the distance with Aphrodite.

"Laaaaaaaaaa————!"

It's unclear whether Aphrodite has completely come to see Fang Li as a threat, but as she watched Fang Li charge toward her, her cries grew increasingly ferocious.

The next second, Aphrodite raised a vine high and slammed it down heavily in front of her.

"Bang—!"

With a muffled thud, the vines crashed down so hard that they dented the ground.

At that instant, centered on the cratered ground, a surging torrent of water suddenly burst forth, like a floodgate bursting open, transforming into ocean waves that swept over Fang Li and his group.

"————!"

Upon seeing this, Fang Li was taken aback.

Unexpectedly, Aphrodite also possessed the ability to control water flow, which explains why she could shoot water from her mouth.

Perhaps this is why the Forbidden Kind of wild god before us was named Aphrodite.

After all, the Greek Goddess Aphrodite is said to have been born from the sea.

The desolate god before us also dwells in the sea.

Therefore, it's not surprising that this Forbidden Kind of Aragami uses water as a weapon.

On the contrary, Soma and Soma seemed to have witnessed Aphrodite's ability to manipulate water during their previous mission to defeat her, so they were not surprised at all by what they saw.

At that moment, Soma shouted, "Soma! It's up to you!"

"Hmph!" Soma snorted coldly, accelerated, and flashed in front of Fang Li and Soma. Facing the surging waves, he once again raised the jagged Divine Machine high above his head.

With a "hum", a deep purple light gathered on Soma's divine machine, causing a slight vibration in the surrounding air.

"Drink!" Soma shouted coldly, slamming down the divine weapon in his hand, turning the purple light into a torrent of impact, like a laser cannon, heading towards the surging waves.

"Boom—!"

The purple torrent collided violently with the raging waves, and with a deafening roar, it was as if two mountains collided and suddenly exploded.

Suddenly, a large number of water splashes and purple streaks of light appeared in the sky above the battlefield, like rain and shooting stars falling on every corner.

Under these circumstances, Soma reopened the road to Aphrodite.

Fang Li and Soma passed Soma, who was still in a sword-wielding stance, and once again rushed towards Aphrodite.

Finally, the two rushed up to Aphrodite.

"Thump—!"

With a heavy thud, Fang Li and Soma simultaneously burst into the air, transforming into arrows that shot towards Aphrodite's head.

"Laaaaaaaaaa————!"

Aphrodite's cries finally began to carry a hint of anxiety.

As Fang Li shot towards her face like an arrow soaring Fang Li the sky, Aphrodite's beautiful eyes flashed with malice, and she slowly opened her pitiful lips.

"Puff puff puff puff puff—!"

With a sound like the air being pierced, thin streams of water shot out from Aphrodite's mouth, like high-pressure water guns, cutting through space at terrifying speed and attacking Fang Li.

From beginning to end, Aphrodite was only wary of Fang Li and didn't take the others seriously at all.

Therefore, Aphrodite had no idea what role the person she had despised and ignored could play.

"Drink up! Drink up!"

Soma shouted, raised his Divine Weapon, and suddenly activated the chainsaw-like weapon, swinging it fiercely forward.

"Smack—!"

With a crisp, clear sound, a burst of high-pressure water was shattered by Soma.

"Clap clap clap clap clap—!"

At this moment, the cumbersome divine machine seemed to have completely transformed into a windmill in Soma's hands, striking like a storm and defeating all the incoming water streams with a series of crisp sounds.

Even though each of those high-pressure water jets had the power to penetrate a steel wall, forcing Fang Li to retreat, Soma was completely fearless, like an invincible war god, and took them all head-on.

"Go for it, kid!"

Immediately afterwards, Soma spun around, tilted the sword in his hand to the side, and swung it directly towards Fang Li.

Just then, Fang Li's foot landed on it.

"Smack—!"

Another crisp sound rang out.

However, this time, it wasn't the sound of Soma breaking through the high-pressure water flow that caused the noise, but rather the sound of Fang Li forcefully pushing off the Divine Machine under his feet.

"Laugh----!"

With a faint whooshing sound, Fang Li's figure, like a bullet fired from a gun, sliced through the air and hurtled toward Aphrodite's face.

With astonishing speed, Fang Li finally burst forth in front of Aphrodite this time.

The Ice-Blue Demon Eyes shone with dazzling light, like a jewel.

The sharp dagger resembled a crescent moon, reflecting a blinding arc of light.

At this moment, Fang Li was on Aphrodite's forehead.

Compared to Aphrodite's size, Fang Li's size is only that of a mosquito.

Therefore, in the instant Fang Li reached Aphrodite's forehead, Aphrodite's mouth could no longer be aimed at him.

"Now is the moment of victory!"

Without any hesitation.

Fang Li made the dagger in his hand transform into a flash of light, cutting through the atmosphere. Under the gaze of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, he swung the dagger at its maximum speed in an instant, suddenly slashing at the crack-like Death Lines on Aphrodite's forehead.

This strike is a call to victory.

However, Fang Li didn't find it at all.

Aphrodite's lips curled up slightly, as if she were mocking something.

That look, combined with Aphrodite's beautiful face, made her seem like a girl who was happy after successfully playing a prank, so playful that it brought a smile to one's face.

However, that playful appearance symbolizes not beauty, but death.
