The Seraph's red-and-white mosaic porcelain skin had already been shattered beyond recognition during its fall. Scarlet angel blood congealed into irregular blood-red diamonds in the high sky, only to be smashed into fine crimson powder by the Arcanist, who was diving rapidly above the Seraph. The heat from the jet engines melted or directly vaporized the blood powder again, leaving Salomon and the Witch trailing a long stream of golden sparks as brilliant as the Milky Way as they fell into the mountains' shadows.
Even at such heights, the Witch remained nimble. She skillfully performed difficult movements impossible for ordinary humans, winding her long, flexible, snake-like legs around the Arcanist's arm, turning herself around, and sitting on Salomon's shoulder armor like a lady riding side-saddle. The Witch took out an M202 66mm four-barreled rocket launcher and pulled the trigger at the still-falling Seraph, firing four M72A1 Anti-Armor Rounds—weaponry modified by Rodin possessed astonishing destructive power. For this mission, Bayonetta had specifically ordered a batch of ammunition designed for Upper Plane Beings, with Salomon providing the materials and Rodin handling the modifications. The M72A1 Anti-Armor Rounds she fired were among them.
According to Bayonetta herself, these weapons were as hot as she was.
But Salomon was not amused. His gaze remained fixed on the town below.
