That is its only heat vent, and its weakness.
"Its regeneration speed is too fast; wounds caused by bullets heal in seconds. It can't be killed by brute force alone. To end it, I must exploit its own flaws."
Overheating.
This is a common weakness of all immature biological weapons.
Alice analyzed calmly.
"Since you're so hot, I'll help you cool down."
Alice's gaze fell on the Cryogenic Storage Box on the side of her backpack.
That was what she had just snatched from the transport truck.
Although the box was damaged, the cooling core—a miniature high-pressure tank containing liquid nitrogen—was still intact.
"First Law of Physics: Thermal expansion and contraction."
"When biological tissue at 70 degrees meets liquid nitrogen at minus 196 degrees, muscle fibers become as fragile as glass."
But this requires an opportunity.
An opportunity to get close and accurately hit the back of its neck.
"System, switch Character Card—Mikasa Ackerman."
"Load Equipment: Omni-directional Mobility Gear."
"This is the mess I made, so I'll be the one to clean it up."
Feeling a weight at her waist, a fully armed Alice took a deep breath and pulled the trigger.
"Sshhh—"
Two steel cables with barbs shot out from the launchers at her waist, accurately anchoring into the outer wall of the building opposite.
Gas Burst.
Alice's figure instantly vanished from the spot, turning into a grey flash, swinging through the jungle of steel and concrete.
"Roar!"
Below, Alexei seemed to sense the threat; he jerked his head up, grabbed a motorcycle from the roadside, and hurled it at Alice in the air.
An ordinary person would surely die in mid-air with no way to maneuver.
But Alice performed a mid-air barrel roll that defied the laws of gravity; the motorcycle flew past her hair and crashed into a nearby window.
Using the centrifugal force of the rotation, she didn't slow down but instead accelerated, diving down towards Alexei.
The twin blades in her hands glinted coldly under the moonlight.
"First strike: deprive the vision."
Alice's figure swept over Alexei's head like a ghost.
A flash of blade light.
"Slash!"
Two jets of green blood sprayed out.
Alexei's eyes, which had been burning with green fire, were instantly slashed with two deep wounds.
His vision impaired, Alexei let out an even more violent scream and began to swing his arms wildly, sweeping away utility poles and mailboxes like grass.
Although he could no longer see, he could hear and smell.
He could feel that little bug, emitting the enticing scent of flesh and blood, nearby.
"System, switch Character Card—Kato Megumi."
This moment was the most critical turning point of the entire battle.
Just as Alexei was about to launch a counterattack based on sound.
The prey that had been flying through the air with an intense presence suddenly vanished.
It wasn't invisibility, but it was better than invisibility.
That sudden sense of losing the target caused Alexei's already chaotic brain to stall for a moment.
His movements froze, and he turned his ugly head in confusion, nostrils twitching, trying to find the enemy that had suddenly turned into a roadside stone.
And this moment of freezing was the signal of the God of Death knocking on the door.
Alice had already landed on his back.
Right between that row of hideous bone spurs.
Like a weightless feather, she stood lightly on the back that was as hot as a furnace.
In her hand, she held a Liquid Nitrogen Tank emitting white smoke.
"Checkmate."
Beneath the fox mask, Alice whispered softly.
The next second.
She slammed the Liquid Nitrogen Tank into the frantically pulsing heat-dissipating ganglion on the back of Alexei's neck.
