But he recalled what happened in the backyard, the pure white figure and what he said:
"Once you choose your opposite, you are no longer in a position to be picky."
Yes, no matter who he is, he belongs to the Legion. As a member of the Legion, he participated in the tragedy of the Monarch family and even talked about it with relish.
No matter who he was, they had already stood on the same side in the dark.
Kindness and compassion are all Pace's wishful thinking. In reality, no one would think too much about it. They all fight for their subordinates. For the bald man, it is the [Legion], and for Pace, it is his family.
And when positions conflict, weapons come into contact.
All of Pes's hesitations suddenly vanished. He understood what Perlis said. With great determination, Pes whispered:
"For the family (Thebite)."
The next second, Pace pulled the trigger.
"Oh!"
The muzzle burst into flames, and the large-caliber bullet instantly hit the bald man's neck, creating a bloody hole on it. The bald man's eyes were filled with fear in an instant, and then he turned his head upwards, and the body wearing the giant armor fell to the ground completely, motionless.

5) The one who abandons, the one who is abandoned (Part 7)
Perlis pushed open the door to the second-floor corridor, and a hail of bullets instantly hit her:
"Da da da da da-"
Three or four legion soldiers poured bullets at Perlis, but Perlis just stood silently at the door, letting the bullets hit the factor shield on her body. After the rain of bullets, Perlis still stood there, motionless.
"What...?" The legionnaires were shocked. The next second, Perlis turned into a red light, and the butterfly knife in her hand spun at high speed.
“Swish—swish—swish—”
With Perlis's precise slashing, all the soldiers in the corridor collapsed like kites with broken strings.
"Is this here?"
There were closed doors on both sides of the corridor. Perlis looked along the corridor and saw a huge wooden door at the end of the corridor. On both sides of the door were carved snow sculptures with wings spread out.
That door must be the master bedroom, where the owner of the mansion lives.
Ivar was there.
Perlis's heart, which had been silent all this time, suddenly began to beat. Although Ivar was right in front of her, she no longer had the indifference and hatred she had before. Instead, a complex emotion lingered in her heart, making her a little hesitant.
He was in that room, the man who reached out to her in the icy rain, the murderer of her father.
Perlis walked slowly in the corridor, her pace slowed down. Her heartbeat kept accelerating, and the pressure on her chest suddenly increased, as if a thin film appeared between her lungs and the outside world.
Finally, Perlis arrived at the door.
A white hand was placed on the wooden door, but Perlis hesitated at this moment. She didn't know what she should say after pushing open the door. She didn't know if she could let go of everything and fight Ivar after seeing him.
From Wilkin's graveyard to the kingdom beneath the Tower of Babel, to the frozen ground where bones are buried today.
Amidst the complex emotions, Perlis calmed down and slowly opened the door in front of her:
"pat-"
A huge room appeared before her. The room was decorated very exquisitely. Various murals were hung on the walls, and the floor was covered with exquisite bear skin carpets. A soft big bed was placed on the right side of the room, leaning against the wall with a deer head trophy hanging on it.
This was obviously the room belonging to the owner of the mansion. Pearlis was not wrong.
At the end of the room was a French window. A figure was sitting at a table in front of the French window, with his back to Perlis. There were two bottles of wine on the table, but the glasses were empty, and it was obvious that the person had not drunk a drop of wine.
Has this moment finally arrived?
Perlis trembled slightly and wanted to speak, but before she could speak, the man spoke first:
"You are finally here, [Pure White Fireworks]..."
It was a familiar female voice, and Perlis felt as if her heart was hit by a huge hammer.
Not Ivar...?
Perlis stared at the man as he stood up from the chair, turned his face, and his golden hair swayed.
[Angel of the Iron Guard] Ekaterina Goncharova stood there, in front of the snowy scene outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, anger flashing in her determined eyes.
"You are very brave, and I respect that."
Ye Lina was still wearing the silver-white armor, and the scars from the previous battle had been hastily repaired. It was obvious that she was in good condition.
"But in the [Burial Land of Frozen Bones], your fate will be no different from those frozen dead bones. You will eventually be buried under the ice and snow."
"Where is Ivar...?"
Perlis didn't listen to what Yelena said at all. She looked a little dazed and her body was swaying slightly.
Why did Yelena need to answer? Perlis was not a fool. The moment she saw Yelena, she roughly knew the truth of the matter. The idea that she had been forcing herself to give up along the way was verified at this moment.
Perlis lowered her head and murmured in a low voice:
"He.. lied to me..."
The scene in front of her suddenly became blurry. Perlis remembered Pace's face and his flickering eyes in the tavern.
Yeah...it's really stupid to believe what a guy like that says.
"Him? Are you talking about the kid from the Monarch family?"
Ye Lina seemed to have figured out the truth quickly. She then looked at Perlis with a pitiful look on her face, with a smile on her lips:
"How foolish of you to believe the words of a hoodlum who runs a shabby tavern... I obviously overestimated you."
Perlis held the butterfly knife tightly in her hand, and the hesitant look on Pace's face before entering the cellar appeared in front of her eyes.
There was no difference between him and the old guys in the Federation. Pace just used Perlis as a tool to achieve his goal. Use her and then throw her away. This was the mission of a tool.
When I think about how I naively thought that young man was a rare "person who could be a friend", it was really...stupid.
Does not have a long memory.
The snow outside the floor-to-ceiling window was falling heavier and heavier, and strong winds gradually began to hit the window again and again, colliding with the glass.
"Where's Ivar?"
Perlis raised her head slightly, and a fierce murderous aura flashed in her red eyes.
"You tell me, or do I have to beat you to tell me?"
"How shameless of you, [Pure White Fireworks]..."
As soon as Ye Lina stretched out her hand, the energy sword [Hels] leaning against the bed instantly flew into her hand and was held in her hand with one hand.
"The Scavenger has always been in the Iron Fortress, but you won't have the chance to see him again..."
During the conversation, the silver-white wings behind Ye Lina suddenly spread out, and the huge wings almost filled the room:
"Because of that brat, you escaped in Lorton, but this time, I will completely destroy you."
Perlis stared coldly at Yelena with her wings spread out, suppressing all her emotions.
For some reason, she felt as if she had become a little lazy since coming to Lorton.
So lazy that it gave these people a strange illusion.
Whether it was Pace or Yelena, they were both wrong.
“Swish, swish—”
Perlis casually swung the butterfly knife, and the strong factor energy attached to the blade made a "sizzling" sound.
They were all immersed in this illusory illusion, including Perlis, but this false atmosphere gradually wore away her patience, making her begin to get a little impatient.
Yelena in front of her was obviously hopeless, but not because of the long clichés she spoke or the various motives that Polly didn't care about at all.
But she actually thought that she could be compared with the sixth seat [Pure White Flame] of [Blade of Babel]?
As if reading out a declaration issued at some established ceremony, Yelena kept repeating those sentences:
"For unity, for Lesev Goncharov... (Thebit)."
Perlis just stared at Yelena silently, she said nothing. She silently waited for Yelena to finish those long and so-called ritualistic words, waiting for the [Angel] in front of her to launch an attack.
"...I sentence you to be buried in ice and snow, and to become the cornerstone of Thebit's unification."
After the announcement, Ye Lina swung her sword violently, making a buzzing sound in the air.
"Be prepared to wake up!"
Then, Ye Lina swung her sword at the French window, shattering the glass:
"Bla——"
The [Angel] flapped its silver-white wings violently, and Ye Lina's body moved backwards and flew into the heavy snow outside the window.
“Hors!!”
Ye Lina was suspended in the air outside the window, pointing the greatsword at Perlis who was still in the room. The tip of the factor energy greatsword instantly unfolded, and the blue factor energy halo shone.
Staring at the familiar blue halo that almost took her life, there was no expression on Perlis's face. She just waited silently, waiting for that moment.
In the brief moment before the bombardment, Perlis turned the factor bracelet, and a red light flashed -
"Bam—"
The factor energy bullet passed through the floor-to-ceiling window in the flying snow and shot into the room. The entire room was instantly engulfed in the flames produced by the factor energy explosion.
Breaking through the smoke and dust, Perlis landed on the snow outside the mansion and somersaulted lightly.
"Are you still running away? [Pure White Fireworks]."
In the increasingly fierce snowstorm, Perlis slowly raised her head. The figure of the [Angel] was looming in the air filled with snow and wind. Only the energy from the tip of the sword was particularly dazzling.
Perlis didn't say anything, but just leaned down gently. She knew that it was time for them to truly face the [Pure White Fireworks].
......
5) The one who abandons, the one who is abandoned (Part 8)
"Hors!"
Suspended in the snow, the blue light of the factor energy on the tip of Ye Lina's sword became stronger and stronger. She aimed at the small white figure on the ground through the snow that blocked her vision.
"Bam—"
The bombardment tore apart the curtain of wind and snow, and the factor energy exploded on the ground, raising a cloud of smoke and dust mixed with snowflakes.
Yelena stared at the smoke raised by the explosion, but when the smoke cleared, Perlis was gone.
Gone? Wait...
Yelena looked around the grounds of the manor, but could no longer find any trace of Perlis.
At this moment, Perlis took advantage of the cover of the wind and snow and climbed up the wall silently in a few steps. After a few steps, she climbed onto the roof of the mansion. The red light on the blade was hidden by the wind and snow.
In the wind and snow, the cannon at the tip of Yelena's greatsword [Hors] was emitting a very obvious blue light as it was storing energy. The blue star was hanging in the air not far from the roof of the mansion, completely within Perlis's reach.
Perlis turned her head slightly and saw the chimney of the mansion not far away.
"caught you."
Perlis calmly turned her factor bracelet, then she lightly ran towards the chimney of the mansion. When she got close to the chimney, she jumped up, stepped on the chimney wall with both feet, turned in the air and aimed at the blue light behind the curtain of wind and snow.
"bass--"
Like a snowflake flying in the opposite direction, Perlis used the chimney wall as a jumping point, and with the addition of factor potential energy, she flew out and flew towards Yelina in mid-air.
Ye Lina only felt something flying at high speed cutting through the snow. When she pointed the tip of the sword filled with factor energy at the flying object, it was already too late.
"Varied..."
Before [Hors] was activated, Perlis's feet stepped on the blade of Yelina's greatsword, and then she ran two steps lightly and steadily on the greatsword, jumped into the air, and raised the butterfly knife in her hand against the backdrop of wind and snow.
It was too late to defend with the greatsword. In the critical moment, Ye Lina decisively threw the greatsword away and put her arms in an "X" shape in front of her chest.
"Shhh-"
The strong factor energy blade that could cut through iron like mud left a high-temperature melt mark on Ye Lina's silver-white arm guard. At that moment, time seemed to slow down. Through the gap between the arms protecting her neck, Ye Lina looked directly at the pair of red eyes that were shining brightly in the wind and snow.
Actually... can do such a level of action...
