Pearlis didn't say anything. She glanced at the back of the truck - the sniper had disappeared long ago, apparently he had moved to another location.

In that case, let's deal with this idiot in front of us first.

"Little sister, I will hang your pretty little head around my waist and take good care of it (Thebitten)."

A foolish laugh was heard, and then there was a strong gust of wind—the great sword came across the sky. Perlis quickly dodged to the side, and at the moment when the great sword was embedded in the ground, she jumped onto the great sword.

"Zizi-"

With the burst of the elemental energy arc, Perlis jumped up on the big sword, turned her body in the air, and passed over the head of the sturdy man——

"bass--"

The red light drew an arc and instantly shattered the strong man's factor shield from behind.

"Varied--"

Before the sturdy man could turn around, Perlis's feet had already touched the ground. She leaned forward, and the blade flashing with red light was already aimed at the sturdy man's heart.

At this time, Carly's warning came -

"Nine o'clock, terrace!"

"clang--"

Perlis swung her knife and the sniper bullet that broke through the air was deflected by her. The next second, she chanted softly -

"Pace."

"I'm coming!"

Taking advantage of the moment when the sniper was reloading, a factor energy hook accurately embedded into his factor shield. The sniper, who had been concentrating on the sniper platform, did not notice the Eagle Wing in the shadow at all. When he turned around, he only had time to see the axe coming from the air.

"Pfft-"

The Factor Energy Axe instantly chopped off the sniper's Factor Shield. The next second, Pace's other hand took out the cold steel knife from his waist, and the sharp cold energy turned into a deadly trajectory.

"Kacha——"

In the sunlight at the border, a head slowly rose up, and fell to the ground along with bright red blood.

"Done!" On the terrace, Pace raised the sniper's head and smiled at the burly man. "Whose head did you say you wanted to hang around your waist? Is your friend's head okay (Thebit)?"

"Asshole!" the burly man roared. He pulled out the big sword on the ground, clenched it with both hands, and swung it fiercely behind him.

"clang--"

The butterfly knife's blade blocked the giant sword's attack, but the remaining force sent Perlis flying more than ten meters away. But the next second, the red light flashed, and the pure white figure flew over again with an arc of electricity. The blade brushed past the strong man's sword, sparking a burst of sparks.

"call..."

Time seemed to slow down, and in this moment of stillness, Perlis clearly saw the astonishment on the sturdy man's face, and the red line extending from the top of his head to his crotch.

He couldn't imagine the speed of [Pure White Flames].

At this moment, the battle is over——

"bass--"

The arc of factor energy turned into a wave, bursting out from the body of the silver blade. In this fleeting moment, Perlis raised the silver blade high and slashed the powerful slash across the big man's head, freezing his expression in a moment of astonishment -

"呲呲-"

The next second, the sturdy man's body broke apart, splitting into two equal halves from head to toe, splashing blood onto the stone brick road.

"Clap."

Perlis flicked the butterfly knife lightly, then turned her head and gave Pace a thumbs up:

"Well done, assassin."

"Hey, you were supposed to be the assassin..."

Pace covered his head helplessly, and he jumped down from the terrace. When his exoskeleton fell to the ground, it even cracked the cobblestone road in the town. After standing still, Pace took a look at the body of the strong man that was cut in half, and curled his lips a little exaggeratedly.

"By the way, little princess, have you always been this strong?"

"I don't know either," Perlis murmured. She looked at her right hand holding the knife. The arc of factor energy was still faintly lingering on her wrist, connected to the butterfly knife. "It seems... it's not strength. I seem to have... some changes..."

Change? What change? Was it the red factor energy arc that inexplicably lingered around him during the battle? Or was it the red line that appeared in the dark above all things?

Just as Perlis was about to think deeply, a slight headache came over her, and then came the red unknown geometric figures that appeared countless times in the darkness.

What exactly is that? Perlis didn't know, she only knew that this indescribable pattern was always accompanied by a slight headache, which made her upset.

Now is not the time to think about these things. Perlis shook her head and said to Pace:

"Young Master, did you see their third person when they were on the terrace?"

"No," Pace shook his head. "I thought there were only two of them. Why? Must there be three people to participate in the competition?"

"If they are mercenaries, there should be three of them," Perlis lowered her head and thought. In an instant, she seemed to have thought of something, "Unless..."

At that moment, Pace and Perlis seemed to think of the same thing at the same time:

"Ms. Carly!!"

"Carly!"

......

4) Overlooking fate (Part 6)

On the antenna tower, Carly quickly controlled the blue light spot, searching for information around her.

She knew that the two mercenaries could not be a match for Perlis, so she was only responsible for providing information, thus injecting most of the computing power into the surrounding reconnaissance process.

The breeze from the antenna tower blew up the girl's pink hair, which was tied into two low ponytails, and gently moved on her shoulders. Looking ahead, the ruins on the edge were already filled with explosions and screams, foreshadowing the death of countless lives.

What a boring game this Federation player played.

Amid the hustle and bustle, Carly turned off the radio in her ear. She turned around and faced the visitor who had walked on the rusty iron to the antenna tower as if she had foreseen it.

"What message are you here to convey?"

The person who came into view was a mercenary. His body was flashing with a blue factor shield, and the eyes on the black mask were extremely ferocious, staring at Carly.

And from the dagger in his hand, Carly saw her own ice-blue eyes.

"Carly Felos," the assassin said in a low voice, "Lord Blackcoat told me that you forgot the agreement."

"Agreement? What agreement?" Carly smiled softly. She was unarmed but not panicked at all. "Laplace called me a long time ago. His request was very clear and my answer was also very simple."

"I say, keep him away from Perlis."

The ice-blue eyes narrowed slightly, and that cold gaze pierced into the assassin's heart, as if to pierce his heart and bones.

"In that case..." the assassin murmured in a low voice, "Then your choice is to betray the [Blood Pact]."

"Yes," Carly nodded with a smile, "I have already made my choice."

"Then I'll have to trouble you to die here, proud [Eye]."

In an instant, the assassin's pace quickened, and the sharp blade attacked Carly - she had no chance to open the factor shield, as all her computing power was concentrated in the reconnaissance system.

unless--

"Bam—"

The revolver's mechanical structure emitted a burst of steam, which rose up along with the red light that burst out instantly. In just a moment, the [Thorn] bullet blew up the factor shield, pierced through the assassin's heart, and created a huge hole in his chest.

"You're a little slow, Mercury," Carly laughed softly, as if mocking the blade in the distance, "I only have three Thorn bullets. Next time if you want to deliver a letter, come in person, okay?"

“Gurgle…”

The assassin fell to the ground with a thump, but no blood flowed out of the hole. The next second, his clothes gradually became dry, and the body underneath turned into a pool of black mud, spreading on the floor of the antenna tower.

"Another follower of The Wave?" Carly shook her head helplessly. "It's sad that the Academy has fallen to the point of using this kind of thing..."

Carly turned her head and looked down from the antenna tower. She saw Perlis and Pace running towards the antenna tower anxiously, mumbling something, as if they wanted to contact her by radio.

Looking at the little girl with long pure white hair, Carly gave a gentle smile, followed by a soft sigh.

"Of course I choose you, little white flower."

After saying that, Carly stepped over a puddle of black liquid on the ground and began to leave the antenna tower along the rusty stairs.

......

"Are..are you okay? Carly?"

"It's okay."

"Are you really okay? I heard gunshots."

"Yes, so it's okay."

Carly gently turned the steam revolver in her hand and threw away the magazine: it was filled with five factor energy bullets, but one was missing.

"It should be some inferior mercenary organization. I killed them with one shot. They are very weak."

"I'll check—"

As Perlis was about to walk towards the antenna tower, Carly reached out to stop her.

"Don't waste time," Carly gently scratched Perlis' nose, "The monitoring information has been completed. The landing point of the supply warehouse is just outside the town, very close. Let's go there quickly."

"Hmm..." Perlis lowered her head slightly, and when she raised it again, her eyes were full of blame, "Next time Carly is in danger, just radio me for help! I'll be there soon, don't worry about me being distracted!"

"How can I not worry about you, idiot?" Carly smiled softly, "There are countless people here who want to swallow up the little white flower."

"I'm not afraid, don't do this again next time!"

"Okay, okay, got it~"

Carly said, patting Perlis's shoulder gently, and pointed to another direction at the end of the stone brick road. Towards the path she pointed out, a group of light blue dots formed a channel, constructing the shortest path to the supply warehouse.

"Come this way," Carly said, taking the first step. "I'll lead the way."

"..."

Looking at Carly's back, Perlis felt helpless. She looked at Pace beside her and found that there was some confusion in the latter's eyes.

"It seems that Miss Carly is... a little anxious," Pace said softly, "as if something has been threatened."

"It's because of me," Perlis sighed sharply, "She is too worried about me, really..."

After that, the two followed Carly and walked towards the landing point of the supply warehouse.

Walking on the borderland, there were explosions and the sound of cold weapons being exchanged from time to time not far away. According to Perlis's observation during the landing, there were at least four or five teams landing near the town, and they were all scrambling to occupy high ground so that they could get the supply warehouse as quickly as possible.

Such a cruel competition, the people under the Tower of Babel were willing to sacrifice their own and others' lives in order to get closer to the man-made tower. If this kind of thing had not happened in modern times, Perlis would probably have thought it was some kind of ancient ritual to worship the evil god.

The great Academi Federation.

"..."

In the noisy atmosphere, Perlis raised her head and looked at the vast sky. The arcs of electricity that burst out from the top of the Tower of Babel flashed in the clouds one after another. Perlis knew that it was the precursor of the factor energy storm - when the time came, the vast factor energy storm would engulf the entire border and turn all the lives that did not leave this place into dust.

Ivar was somewhere in this competition right now. This was the closest she had ever been to Ivar since the battle at Wanren Mountain.

"Where are you..."

The girl murmured softly. She stared at the red arc in the sky for a while, then lowered her head and continued to walk with Callipeth to the landing place of the supply warehouse.

However, what she didn't know was that the moment she lowered her head, a brilliant spear of light flashed across the sky.

......

"A-03 enters the battle zone, the convergence factor can provide a barrier."

"boom--"

Accompanied by a violent explosion, the shuttle slowed down instantly, creating a wave of air that distorted space under the sky.

"Buzz-"

The cabin door gradually opened, and a pair of light green eyes looked wearily at the vast battlefield: extending from the Tower of Babel in the distance to this dilapidated border, the air was already filled with sparks and heat waves.

[Federation's "Divine Punishment" Admir Sky Eye] Just in the distant horizon, the huge steel mountain was pushing the last batch of contestants into the battlefield, densely packed like ants.

Should I say it's nostalgic? No, maybe more like boredom.

“…”

In silence, Ivar Sekpas slowly walked to the edge of the cabin and stared at the battlefield where he had fallen once before. Last time, he killed his most trusted friend here.
