The girl with white hair and red eyes is serious about revenge

Amidst the indescribable trembling, the corners of Kemp's mouth twisted ugly, barely forming a smile.

He glanced at the escape pod in the middle of the woods—that pod had been completely destroyed, but not far away, there was another prism signal.

If I rush there with all my might, maybe... there is still some chance of survival.

"call...."

Kemp didn't waste any more time. Since he had killed Balza, he could get his dog tags.

As for the other guy...

Kemp looked at the boy in the giant armor who was lying opposite Balza.

That was the guy who fought with Balza by the stream. If Kemp remembered correctly, this brother also appeared in the Steam Pipe Inn in Lavis, but he was reading the newspaper at the time, so Kemp didn't see his face clearly.

This brother is with the sister with pink hair.

At this moment, he was looking at Kemp weakly, with a little light in his black pupils, but it was obviously unlikely that he would be able to stand up.

Do you want to get rid of him?

"..."

Kemp struggled to reload his pistol with one hand, then picked up Jessica's small pistol from the ground and reloaded it as well.

After doing all this, he carried Jessica on his back and staggered to Balza's body.

Then, he tore off the light blue dog tag from Balza's broken wrist. The dog tag was stained with some bright red liquid, but it didn't look like blood.

He quickly took the dog tag in his mouth, then held the gun handle tightly with his left hand. A sweet taste that didn't taste like blood spread in his mouth, causing his mind to waver slightly.

With time running out and only one hand left, it would be time-consuming to take the dog tag off his neck, so Kemp chose to hang it in his mouth.

Even though the unknown red liquid on the dog tag was a bit disgusting, now was not the time to worry about it.

The important thing is that Kemp got the dog tags again...this way, he can send Jessica away.

Wait... that guy in the giant armor, does he have another dog tag on him?

Kemp turned his head, faced Pace, and raised the pistol in his hand.

At the same time, Pace also raised his head and looked at Kemp without saying a word.

Why was he here alone fighting Balza Durant? Why weren't the pink-haired sister and the white-haired sister here?

Kemp looked at Pace breathlessly. He saw Pace's broken wrist in the battle and his body covered in blood. He was puzzled for a moment.

After a brief search, Kemp did not see the dog tags on Pace, and his confusion grew.

Could it be that he was competing with Balza for the dog tags?

"......"

The pink-haired sister showed me the way.

She had a strong factor shield, and even Yu's sniper rifle couldn't penetrate her. She could have killed Kemp and his group directly.

Yu...Kemp's heart twitched slightly when he thought of this name.

Morally and logically, he still owed that sister, so he should help her companions and should not snatch the dog tags in front of him.

But...But...

Kemp felt the weight of Jessica behind him, and for some reason, his steps became much steadier.

We agreed to send Jessica away.

This is a competition.

He had no choice. Even if his brother would die because he took the only dog ​​tag, he had to do it.

"Boom——"

A red lightning flashed, the light was brighter than ever.

Kemp slightly lowered the gun pointed at Pace and closed his eyes tiredly.

Then he bowed slightly to Pace and turned to run to the location of the next prism signal.

It's too late, the factor energy storm is starting to shrink.

For Jessica, he couldn't hesitate any longer.

Even if it was raining in front of him, he would still raise his gun.

......

He's gone...

After Kemp's figure ran out of Pace's sight, Pace sighed deeply and lay on the ground.

I thought he was going to be killed... Turns out he just took the dog tags. He's a kind-hearted kid.

Of course, in the competition, this kind of kindness and stupidity can basically be equated. Taking advantage of the opportunity when he ran away with his back turned, Pace could have used his energy hook to hit him on the back, killing or injuring him.

He must have suffered a lot because of this kindness, right?

"..."

For some reason, Pace felt that the child in front of him seemed familiar, as if he had seen a guy with similar features one morning in Lavis.

Now I remember, it was the boy who asked Miss Carly about the rules of the competition...

At that time, Pace had been reading a newspaper. All his attention was attracted by the situation in Longmai River, so he didn't pay much attention to the appearance of the young man.

If it was really him, it meant that he did not listen to Miss Carly's advice and still participated in the competition.

Miss Carly guessed it all... She didn't shoot when she saw the other contestants lying on the ground. How childish...

Pace smiled helplessly, and inexplicably remembered the figure who yelled at the white-haired girl in the inn in Wanren Mountain.

It seems like I was so childish before. Haha, finally I can get the sense of superiority of "I have grown a lot" from someone who is even more childish!

Is it considered finding joy in misery?

"Boom——"

Red lightning flashed, and the storm gradually began to spread, forming a huge vortex with the Tower of Babel as the eye of the storm.

Pace knew that the energy storm was beginning to shrink.

He actually didn't care at all whether the boy took his dog tag or not. After all, he was already unable to move forward. Even if he got Balza's dog tag, he would not be able to reach the nearest prism signal.

Since he's going to die anyway, wouldn't it be better to let the boy survive?

What's more, the boy was carrying a girl on his back, which reminded Pace of how he once had to carry a brainless idiot and struggle forward in the snow.

Could he have saved her? Pace had no way of knowing.

"Alas... Unfortunately, I still owe the little princess a meal with the characteristics of the Dibit people..."

As if he didn't know where the strength came from, Pace used all his strength to sit up and sighed helplessly.

I'm unwilling to accept this. It's obvious that the men of Thebes are trustworthy.

By this time, Perlis and Carly should have reached the base of the tower, right?

It seems that Prince Aloi did not get what he wanted, and he can be considered a man who defeated the Wilkin royal family.

It was a very glorious life! Being able to defeat Wilkin's chief guard was an achievement that many people would never dare to think of.

I have not brought shame to the Monarch family at all!

"..."

Looking at the sky filled with red thunder, Pace smiled gently and tried hard to fill his heart with pride.

However, he felt something cool running across his cheek.

It feels so strange. When was the last time I shed tears?

"Boom——"

Thunder broke through the sky and began to fall randomly on the land of the Weird Misty Forest, occasionally knocking down a bunch of trees.

The energy storm began to shrink.

Under the red lightning, the Thebiter raised his head slightly, closed his eyes, and let the tears flow.

"Sure enough, I still can't bear to let go."

......

8) Martyrs, Roses at the Tomb (Part 10)

It's almost there.

It's almost there.

Just a little bit.

"..."

A violent wave spread out from the Tower of Babel to the surrounding areas. Driven by this wave, the energy storm that had been imprisoned in the sky for a long time finally broke free and began to devour the strange fog forest.

Kemp clearly felt the force; he trembled and his steps became faster and faster.

Somehow, Kemp felt his senses become clearer, and everything around him seemed to be under his control. He heard the red thunder falling, splitting the bushes; he heard the storm sweeping, tearing the woods.

Mixed in with that great power were countless roars that were almost whispers—the voices of the dying were too small and were almost completely swallowed up by the storm of elemental energy.

But Kemp, he didn't care, he just ran -

“Haaaaaaaaaaaaa…”

The sweetness from the dog tag in his mouth had disappeared, transformed into Kemp's strength. He felt very excited and sober, and completely free of the fatigue caused by his serious injury.

Is it a last gasp?

dying?

"..."

The light beam was getting closer and closer. It flickered among the dancing leaves in the storm and was almost disappearing.

Just a little closer.

Can't stop.

Kemp held Jessica's hand tightly. The girl was still sleeping motionlessly on his back.

I was the one who got her involved, I must get her out.

As long as she can get out, Aunt Enlia can survive.

As long as she could get out, she could live a better life.

If only she could get out...

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the vicinity of Camp, splitting a towering tree in half.

The flying debris scratched Kemp's cheek, creating a deep cut. Blood gushed out, but he felt no pain at all.

Right before my eyes...

......

Jessica had a dream.

She dreamed that she and Kemp were walking hand in hand through the streets of Wiesel.

Oh, of course, she had no idea what Wezel looked like—the mud of Slenderhorse Lane was too solid and she might never be able to escape from it in her lifetime.

But she was sure that this was Wezel: there were stars on the streets, and more importantly, there were stars in the eyes of the boy holding her hand.

Jessica knew that Kemp had always wanted to leave Skinny Horse Lane and move to Weiser.

The boy hated Skinny Horse Lane, he loved the stars.

......

"Boom——"

More and more red thunders fell from the sky, shattering the trees and the earth.

Strong winds blew from all directions, making Kemp's steps more difficult. He was like a lone boat drifting on a stormy sea, and could capsize at any time.
