Aloi slowly said Edward's name, and then kicked Perlis in the stomach fiercely, kicking her away. Perlis stabilized her body very lightly, and with a turn of the butterfly knife, she accurately blocked the next attack from the air.
“Pah-sizzle…”
The junction of the spear tip and the blade burst out with energy, like welding sparks. Aloi still maintained a smile, but Perlis knew that his current state had nothing to do with calmness.
"How stupid! You took the tickets I gave you, but you still think you are in control of everything," Aloi laughed wildly, his pupils widened, "This is not Wilkin's territory, this is La Vatino's territory, they will die like an accident..."
The ticket he gave her? Perlis' heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he deliberately let Carly steal the ticket and then fall into her trap?
Perlis frowned slightly. Just as her intuition showed, the royal family of Wilkin would not let them go easily.
But what does it matter? Whoever it is, if there is an obstacle, just tear it apart.
Aloi Aziz is just an arrogant and disgusting prince, but she is the [Pure White Flame]. How can a mere prince stop her?
Perlis looked at Carly and Pace again. They had been almost forced into a desperate situation by the old guard and could not hold on for much longer.
In this case, she must end the battle quickly.
It's time to get serious.
Seeing that Perlis was indecisive, Aloi's pupils suddenly widened. He finally put away his fake smile and roared ferociously:
“Look at me!!!”
Then, Aloi twisted the broken spear in his hand and chopped at Perlis again. However, before his broken spear touched Perlis, the girl's figure was instantly covered by a red lightning, accompanied by crackling red electric light——
"bass--"
With the addition of the factor potential energy, Perlis instantly passed over Aloi's arm and teleported directly in front of him. The rapidly spinning butterfly knife in her hand slashed from bottom to top with great swiftness, slicing across Aloi's body and tearing a violent spark on the red factor shield -
"Zizzi-"
“Pala——”
Under the fatal blow of the butterfly knife, Aloi's factor shield was instantly shattered, and even a huge hole was torn on the surface of his dress, revealing the golden armor underneath.
Then, Perlis swung out a fierce second knife -
"bass--"
Seeing that the red trail was about to cut off Aloi's throat, he frowned and used almost all his strength to bend his upper body backwards to the limit, barely avoiding Perlis's second knife.
"Damn..."
Aloi cursed in a low voice and tried to get ready again. However, Perlis had already achieved her goal: she was not stupid enough to keep fighting Aloi. There were two guards beside the prince. If she really kept fighting, although Perlis was not afraid of losing to them, it would take too much time. If it dragged on like this, Carly and Pace would definitely not be able to hold on.
Moreover, this was the Star Track after all, so who could tell if Aloi had brought more guards on board? If they were ordinary guards, they would be no different from ordinary soldiers to Perlis, but if there were other guards of a similar level to [Fang] Balza Durant, Perlis might not be able to escape the battle quickly.
So, after repelling Aloi, Perlis instantly activated her factor bracelet, injected all the remaining factor energy into the burst module, then turned around incredibly quickly and rushed towards Balza.

2) Fang of the Golden Sand Snake (Part 8)
"clang..."
"clang..."
"clang--"
In the corridor of the carriage, Pace was beaten back step by step, and sparks flew again and again from the collision between the axe and the machete. Balza's attack was getting faster and faster. Even though Pace had begun to get familiar with his routine, the difference in strength made it impossible for him to hold on.
"You are weak, Thebite," Balza's old face was expressionless, "Put down your axe and let's finish this quickly."
"Shut up!" Pace roared, blocking with the axe in his hand. "Ms. Carly! Do you still have a chance?"
"No! Still a little bit off, damn it..." Carly looked at the charging ring on her thumb ring and saw that the progress was still just a little bit off. But even with this little bit, the swarm of drones couldn't find it even after searching the entire carriage.
Carly raised her head and looked through the vent that Balza had opened when he entered the carriage. She saw that the rails of the Star Track were still flashing with intense blue factor energy, crackling and emitting sparks, like a hot oil pan.
According to the design principle of the factor energy suspension track, there is a factor collector at every distance of the track, which absorbs all the destructive factors in the air and converts them into factor energy to maintain the operation of the track. Therefore, during the operation of the Star Track, the closer it is to the next factor energy absorber node, the less destructive factors there are in the car.
Directly absorbing destructive factors from the surroundings instead of using large base stations to transport them has two advantages: first, the independence of each factor energy generator can ensure that even if there is damage, it will not directly affect the operation of the entire track, and it is more flexible for accidents; second, it can produce a small factor energy domain, and various high-energy weapons based on factor energy will be difficult to use on the train, which greatly ensures safety.
According to Carly's calculations, the area where they were stagnant was probably the orbit near La Vatino. If so, then this area must be very close to the factor energy collector. Not only would she be unable to recharge the Five Rings, but Perlis would also be unable to replenish her factor shield.
Damn golden sand snake, it actually calculated even this.
As Pace gradually showed signs of weakness, the old guard's attack became more and more fierce. There was no light in his old eyes, and he just mechanically swung his sword again and again, as if it was a set program, cold and powerful. It didn't last long. With a flash of golden light, the axe in Pace's hand flew out of his hand again. Seizing this opportunity, the old guard slashed at Pace with a sword -
"bass--"
Blood splattered along the trajectory of the golden knife, and the old guard slashed Pace's arm with the knife, knocking him down on the seat next to the corridor.
"Ahh..." Pace covered his injured arm and twisted his body in pain.
"If this is the blood and steel of Wanren Mountain, it's no wonder you lost so miserably in the battle against Charon," Balza looked at Pace coldly, "It's over, son of Wanren Mountain."
"Thebite!" Carly yelled and tried to move forward, but before she could move her legs, she was slightly bent over by the pain in her stomach, "Ugh..."
Pace frowned with difficulty. In his field of vision, Balza's eyes were still lifeless and indifferent. Compared with a human being, he looked more like some kind of combat machine. There was no emotion contained in those eyes. There was only obedience to orders and pure murderous intent.
"From dust to dust, from ashes to ashes (Wilkin)."
Following the cruel verdict, Balza raised the golden knife in his hand high and pointed it at Pace's neck.
At this moment, a subtle airflow suddenly blew across Balza's neck. The killing intent he had developed through years of high-intensity combat made him highly sensitive to everything around him. In an instant, the old guard reacted according to his intuition and turned his knife to the back.
As expected, he saw a white shadow flying towards him. In his eyes, Perlis arrived in front of him in an instant, with the butterfly knife in her hand spinning at high speed.
So fast! Balza's nerves suddenly tensed up. He had heard of the legend of "Pure White Flame" and studied this 18-year-old girl through various documents, but he had never met her face to face. Instinctively, he did not choose to attack at the first time, but conservatively retreated the knife to the blocking area in front of him, waiting for the attack at any time.
However, he miscalculated. Perlis's target was not him at all.
“【Factor Burst】!”
The factor bracelet on the girl's left wrist suddenly stopped spinning, forming a pair of crossed circles. For a moment, even the air fell silent.
In this silent silence, Balza and Pearlis looked at each other. He saw that the girl's eyes were the same dull as his, and he felt a little surprised for a moment.
A child of this age actually has such a desperate look in his eyes.
What on earth had she been through?
At the end of the fleeting glimpse, Balza didn't even make a move. He watched as Perlis made a 90-degree turn in front of him and flew directly towards the wall of the carriage.
Oh no! Could it be that she...
Balza looked at the wall carefully and found that it was the escape passage of this carriage.
Before he could react, Perlis's fist had already hit the security door -
"boom--"
As the factor energy burst out along with red lightning, the safety door of the Star Track was blasted open. The strong wind in the air blew into the carriage, causing another round of screams from the passengers.
Balza raised his scimitar, intending to attack the girl from behind before she could turn around. But before he could do so, a roar came from behind him.
"Ahhhhh!!"
Balza turned around quickly and saw Pace rushing towards him with the axe in his hand raised high, his high collarbone tightly wrinkled. Without any hesitation, Balza put the scimitar in front of his chest and blocked Pace's full-strength chop.
"The people of Thebit... should retreat now." Balza said coldly, but Pace did not respond to him at all, and yelled at the other end of the carriage -
"Ms. Carly! Now!!"
"What!?" Balza turned his head suddenly, and saw that Carly, who was previously unable to fight due to lack of energy, was now raising her hand, and the ring on her finger was emitting a blue halo.
"【The Frozen Light】!" Carly said coldly, and the formation of nano drones instantly condensed together, and brilliant blue light bloomed.
Balza had no time to dodge. He felt the blocking force of the scimitar suddenly disappear, and a brilliant blue light came over like an overwhelming force -
"Ding--"
"Ahhh!" Balza covered his eyes in pain. He staggered backwards and finally fell to the ground, tears constantly flowing from his old eyes.
This is a strong light of nine million kan. Even a killing machine has eyes.
"Pace! Carly! Over here!" As Balza fell to the ground, Perlis immediately called out to the two of them, "Come here quickly!"
"Got it!" When Pace heard Perlis' call, he immediately supported the staggering Carly and went to the broken escape door.
The hot wind blew across his cheeks. Pace looked at the scenery outside the escape door and couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly: under the warm yellow halo, everything he could see was covered with buildings like those in an old town. At the edge of the horizon, there were several huge half-moon-shaped stone pillars, forming a cage-like edge. This warm yellow picture of grandeur and inexplicable sadness caught Pace's eyes, and for a moment his vision was blurred.
This is La Watino, the last remaining area of the Kingdom of Grau Yad.
"Don't stand there, we don't have time!" Carly pulled Pace back from his daze and looked behind him with her icy blue eyes, "The Golden Sand Snake is still there."
Pace turned his head as if waking up from a dream, and following Carly's line of sight, he saw Aloi Aziz slowly walking towards him from the other end of the carriage, holding the broken spear.
"Where do you want to go? My lovely Miss Pearlis..."
Aloi whispered, his red-gold eyes were fierce, but it was not difficult to see some consideration in his eyes. It seemed that after the battle with Perlis, he did not dare to rush up rashly.
But this does not mean that they can continue to delay. The backup of the Royal Guards will arrive at any time, and they will probably be unable to escape by then. Realizing this, Pace turned to Perlis who was looking at the outside scene and asked anxiously:
"Little Princess, what should we do?"
"Dance." Perlis said calmly. The warm yellow light made her profile a little blurry, but it couldn't penetrate the mist in her red pupils.
"What?!" Pace seemed to have not heard what Pearlis said for a moment, "How do we escape?"
Before Pace could react, Perlis turned around quickly and was behind Pace in an instant, then kicked him hard on the butt without hesitation -
"Jump!"
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!” Pace screamed and fell off the car. The sound became farther and farther away...
"Ugh! Little White Flower! How did you make him..."
Carly was shocked by the horrific act of Perlis, and Perlis walked up to her and hugged her with open arms.
"Eh?! What...what are you doing! Why are you suddenly..."
"Carly," Perlis looked directly at Carly's slightly panicked face, still looking calm, "Trust me."
"Eh!? Wait, what are you going to do..."
Before Carly could finish her words, Perlis hugged her and jumped out of the broken escape door, like a bird flying into the sky, and fell into the dim sunlight of La Vatino.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
...END...
3) Edge of the Cage
“Ahhhhhh….”
Falling, falling from the track suspension train, falling in the air.
“Ahhhhhhhh….”
The feeling of weightlessness came over me, and everything in front of me turned into a golden blur, like the lights of a pub when I was tipsy, or like a frenzied train coming straight towards me in the rainy night.
"Aaaaaaaaaa!!!"
Looking around, Pace only felt that he was getting closer and closer to the hard ground. There were faintly a lot of spikes on the ground, like the mountains of Wanren Mountain.
“Ahhhhhhhh I’m going to die!!!”
Pace suddenly opened his eyes, sat up with a scream, his eyes were bloodshot, and he kept holding his head with both hands, as if he had gone mad.
"Aaaaaaaaaa!!!"
"Stop yelling!"
