Femradiel began to fly around the abandoned city and kept attacking Aphrodite, but even though the Greek goddess of love didn't move an inch or used any mana, she still blocked her bolts. Long-ranged attacks weren't effective but then trying to fight up close without fully understanding the enemies' ability wouldn't improve anything.
When Femradiel stopped attacking for a second to analyze Aphrodite's actions, she suddenly was hit by something in the stomach. It didn't feel like a punch or kick, but it wasn't sharp like a weapon either. However, Death Sense alerted her, and she moved her head to the left side, and then something sharp scratched her right cheek. Femradiel began to fire again as she flew in circles around Aphrodite. She touched her face and confirmed that blood was flowing from the wound… she was supposed to have a high endurance and mentality, so the invisible attack wasn't something to laugh at.
"She is using her special powers to defend herself… is she unable to attack and defend at the same time, or is this just a trap?" Femradiel wondered.
Femradiel couldn't tell, and most likely, unless Aphrodite messes up, she won't be able to confirm anything. It looked like she would have to use that crossbow later, so Femradiel summoned the Spiritualist's Crossbow to confirm something. While she flew around, Femradiel fired dozens of bolts every second, those were supposed to drain mana from the enemies, and they could even drain mana from magic attacks… despite that, Femradiel's bolts didn't approach her more than the others.
"Something is wrong here…" Femradiel thought.
While it was only natural that she wouldn't be able to analyze and understand her enemies' abilities so fast, Femradiel could smell something amiss on A Aphrodite's skills. Until now, all the enemies they faced used mana in some way or another. Even to manipulate things like direct damage or the deadly sins, they used mana for that, but it seemed that Aphrodite didn't need mana to do anything. And yet, despite that, her magical presence was on an equal level as the other Olympian gods.
Femradiel stopped attacking and then activated the Mana Barrier. At the same time, she used some potions to increase her intelligence and dexterity. However, she was forced to stop when Death Sense alerted her yet again. This time, Femradiel was hit in the left shoulder. Her wild reflexes prevented her from getting her heart pierced, but still… that power was worse than she had predicted.
"It can't be helped… even if my attacks aren't hitting her, I will need the effect of that bow," Femradiel said and then summoned the Long Mithril Bow of the Excitement.
Aphrodite showed her displeasure the very moment she began to feel Lilith's presence. Femradiel didn't know many myths regarding demons and Greek gods, but it seemed that those two had a certain history…
"Are my eyes wrong, or I can see the biggest slut in the universe?" Lilith asked, and she sounded particularly amused. "It has been a while, Aphrodite."
"I don't want to hear that from you who keeps chasing the same filthy demon and never gives up," Aphrodite said, visibly annoyed. "You should be ashamed of yourself, chasing a demon for thousands of years."
"I think it is better than opening the legs to almost all Olympian gods," Lilith said and then shrugged.
