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

9) The Top of the Tower of Babel (Part 6)

The wound on the wrist...disappeared?

How is that possible? What happened?

"..."

Red arcs of electricity lingered around Perlis's wrists, constantly jumping and interweaving.

Where the wound had been before, there was now only a warm feeling, as if the wound had never existed.

Wrist... scar...

When these two words flashed by, Perlis' pupils shrank suddenly, as if she suddenly remembered something.

After thinking about it for a while, she found that the red symbol that had been blocking her had disappeared, and some memories were gradually awakening.

"Zizzizi..."

Along with the jumping lightning, pictures gradually emerged in Perlis's mind.

She saw Edward von Valantia's old house, the dark clouds hanging over it, and the icy rain that was falling.

She saw herself walking into the old house, searching and searching. She saw old photos passing by her eyes, which recorded a journey that Edward, Aleph, and Ivar had taken, but that was not anywhere on the continent of Ademir.

Then, she saw herself turning over a jar and seeing a blood-red eyeball suspended in the liquid.

When were these pictures taken?

Pearlis closed her eyes and tried to let her thoughts follow the electric currents flowing through her body - for some reason, she felt that she was beginning to control those currents and become one with them.

Then, she saw the progress of the picture as she wished.

Yes, after coming to the Admir Federation, she once visited Edward's old village, the home where she spent the second half of her childhood.

Then, she found a secret door in Edward's room, from which she obtained a bunch of old photos and a...blood-red eyeball.

What was that? Why did I only remember that experience now?

What made me forget those things?

"..."

Perlis gradually calmed her thoughts, and she felt the crimson lines gradually flowing and weaving in her body.

Then, the scenes after that gradually emerged.

She saw herself putting everything away, then quickly going downstairs and leaving Edward's old mansion.

She saw herself walking into the icy rain, and then a short figure appeared opposite her.

Without any need to identify, Perlis recognized the guy instantly: [Black Cape] Mercury, [Blade of Babel] Last Seat.

Then, she saw herself raising the silver blade and confronting the blade in the black straw raincoat.

She saw dead leaves falling to the ground, saw red light bursting out, saw Mercury approaching her rapidly, their blades connecting, and sparks bursting out in the icy rain.

"..."

It was a battle. For some reason, [Black Cape] Mercury came to intercept him, and eventually a battle broke out between them.

Why? What does he want?

"..."

Perlis exerted a little force, allowing the red arcs to continue weaving, forming the following picture.

She saw herself forcing Mercury with the silver blade, but the latter was no match for her and could only start passive defense.

She saw a red light pierce through the black clouds, saw Mercury's black sword break, saw the dark green eyes infinitely approaching her, and was pressed under her.

She saw herself raising the silver blade, pointing it at Mercury's throat, and stabbing it without hesitation.

Then, her forehead went dark and she fell to one side uncontrollably.

Before her vision turned completely dark, Perlis saw the person who attacked her from behind.

She saw a pair of blood-red eyes and long, black, smooth hair.

The figure held a scabbarded katana in her hand, her bloodshot eyes were indifferent and lifeless, as if her soul was isolated tens of millions of kilometers away by Vizel's icy rain.

That is [Falling Cherry Blossom Sword] Ibuki Rin, and the second seat of [Blade of Babel Tower].

She actually attacked him from behind? Why?

Carly once said that it was Aoi and Ibuki Rin who helped her rescue Perlis in Thebeth. Subconsciously, Perlis thought that the cold-blooded Second Seat of [Blade of Babel] was on Carly's side.

But now it seems that her purpose of saving Perlis was to allow Perlis to come to the Federation smoothly in order to complete a purpose given by Laplace.

Suddenly, Perlis felt that she was standing on the chessboard. As long as she raised her head, she could see the huge silver eyes beside the chessboard.

All of this seemed to be within Laplace's calculations, and she did not seem to have the qualifications to play the game and could only trudge across the chessboard with difficulty.

Then, after so long a struggle, she reached the spot Laplace had reserved for her.

"..."

Perlis could no longer obtain the follow-up of that memory. She didn't know why she lost this memory, and she didn't know why she remembered everything at this point in time.

She also couldn't understand something that was gradually awakening in her body - it was a pattern made up of red arcs of electricity. As Perlis ascended the Stairway to Heaven, she felt her blood getting hotter and her vision becoming clearer.

During that visit to Edward's old house, she must have been changed by some external force, causing her to lose some of her memory.

The changes brought about by that experience made Perlis feel that some kind of power was awakening the closer she got to the Tower of Babel.

From the red lines that could cling to everything and allow her to cut through everything, to the red arcs that increasingly lingered around her, to the mysterious power that could repair her minor wounds.

Ever since she stepped into the territory of Lavis, Perlis felt that she was getting closer and closer to that huge and indescribable thing.

This change made Perlis almost crazy and collapsed. If it weren't for the sea of ​​flowers appearing in front of her, it would be difficult for her to imagine her current state.

What was on the Tower of Babel?

"..."

The Ladder to Heaven rises at a high speed and will soon reach the top of the Tower of Babel. If nothing unexpected happens, Ivar should be waiting there.

Leading me to the top of the Tower of Babel, not only did they not try to weaken me, but they made me stronger. What on earth were they thinking...

Forget it. These things are not something we should spend time thinking about right now. After we deal with Ivar, we can worry about them as much as we want and investigate them however we want.

Now, you must eliminate all distractions and focus on the present.

Thinking of this, Perlis rubbed her wrist gently, then turned the factor energy bracelet, allowing the silver double-ring structure to begin to rotate around her wrist.

The red destructive factor emerged from the air and was immediately sucked in and gathered by the vortex formed by the factor energy bracelet.

As the altitude gets higher, the concentration of the destructive factor will gradually become denser, so the battle at the top of the Tower of Babel will basically be a battle between the two sides at their strongest, and a small error will result in defeat.

This means that Perlis must go all out to keep a glimmer of hope in the battle with Ivar.

"call......"

Perlis took a deep breath and closed her eyes. After seeing the sea of ​​flowers, the crazy whispers had completely faded, leaving only the indescribable red lines flowing in Perlis's mind.

She felt countless tiny spots of light floating quietly around her, some of which gathered towards her bracelet, and some of which gathered towards her silver blade.

But more of it goes straight up, like rain going against the current.

To some extent, Perlis felt a resonance between herself and the factor of destruction, and the closer she was to the core of the Tower of Babel, the more obvious this resonance became.

This time, we have to be super serious.

"..."

In the following days, Perlis did not think about anything else. No matter the past, old friends, or knots in her heart, she put them all into the little black box and sealed them completely.

She only allowed herself to appear calmer and more composed in the flow of her energy, and she turned all her thoughts around to focus on one goal:

A fight to the death with Ivar.

At this point, Perlis no longer wanted to think about so many things. All she wanted to do was to resolve this fateful duel on the chessboard with Ivar and decide a winner.

She wants to complete her revenge on Ivar.

"..."

In this silence that was almost eternal, Perlis meditated, eliminating all distracting thoughts from her mind, causing her already indifferent face to become almost emotionless.

When her mind was as clear as a mirror, a crisp bell rang, and at the same time, Perlis opened her bloodshot eyes.

"Ding Dong——"

As if resonating with a silver bell, Perlis felt the ladder to heaven begin to slow down slowly. Not long after, it stopped with a "click" and remained motionless.

Then, under Perlis's gaze, the silver cabin door slowly opened and a strong wind blew in, causing her to subconsciously raise her hands to block the strong wind that was rushing into the cabin.

After adapting to the strong wind, the arena with several huge pillars appeared in front of Perlis, and she could see it all at a glance.

This is the top of the Tower of Babel.

......

9) The Top of the Tower of Babel (Part 7)

The top of the Tower of Babel, the world's top arena.

Looking around, the first thing Perlis saw were the pillars surrounding the arena - huge arched pillars extending upward, each inlaid with red stones, forming a circle.

And on top of that pillar, the core of the Tower of Babel was quietly rotating. The core was a spherical body with countless edges and facets. The surface material was slightly transparent, showing a turbid white.

When Perlis's eyes fell on the core hanging above her head, her heart inexplicably stopped beating for a moment, causing her pupils to shrink and her shoulders to tremble slightly unconsciously.

This was an intuition that struck directly into the heart. Perlis took a breath and felt that something huge was pressing down on her head.

These can be left for later exploration, for now...

Perlis cast her eyes to the other side of the arena, and there was no doubt that a figure was standing there.

He was wearing a black windbreaker, and the hem of his coat, which reached his ankles, was fluttering wildly like waves in the strong wind at the top of the Tower of Babel, just like a black bat flapping its wings.

He stood straight, his spine was not bent at all, as if the previous battle had not burdened him at all. His face was thin to the point of being sickly, and there were dots of sparse stubble all over his pointed chin.

But what impressed Perlis the most and what she could not forget were his eyes.

Those dark green eyes that glowed wildly.

"..."

Without saying a word, Perlis approached Ivar, her steps as light as the wind, but her blood-red eyes were fixed on those green eyes.

Seeing this, Ivar just chuckled, and a terrifying smile twisted on his thin face:

"You're not late."

Perlis did not answer. She stood not far from Ivar, with mist in her bloodshot eyes.

Immediately, she raised the butterfly knife, and pointed the silver blade with a thin layer of red light at Ivar's face.

"Oh..."

Watching Perlis's every move, Ivar's smile remained unchanged, and the dark green in his eyes became even darker.

"I forgot that you are just like him, not talkative, aren't you?"

The tall and thin man did not react at all to Perlis's fighting posture. He just spread his hands slightly, like a parent welcoming his child home from school.

The wind was howling wildly, and at the top of the Tower of Babel, even the black cloud that was pregnant with red thunder was trampled under the feet of the two men.

The two didn't say another word, just stared at each other silently, blood-red eyes facing green eyes.

Everything from the icy rain eight years ago to the present day gradually became clear and distinct as the two looked at each other, no longer needing any embellishment of words.

Immediately, this silence was broken in an instant——

"Aha!!"

Perlis roared, and her pure white figure tore through the wind, and the silver blade drew a red track, pointing directly at Ivar,

Opposite her, Ivar remained motionless, but the smile under the shadow looked even more ferocious.

"bass--"

In just a moment, driven by the potential energy of the factor, Perlis arrived in front of Ivar and swung the silver blade.
