Perfect Avatar-Chapter 229: The Eve of the End

Time has brought its share of perishing and evolution. In the land of elves, Freya’s group prepared for their expedition for 2 whole days, but if all the members of the team were delighted with the possible outcome, Freya’s closest entourage had a different objective, at the request of Eryl.

"Let’s find our comrades and get out of here."

A proposal that initially moved everyone, but as she detailed her vision of the situation, it was clear that something was wrong with Cleopatra.

Too happy with the situation, too passive in the face of the disappearance of her family, and confident in their living situation, for Eryl, there was always something fishy behind her actions, and it was something that was engraved in her soul.

"I’ll tell you all about how I met her, you’ll understand too. If she wants us to move now, that means she’s ready to take action. That should be our wake-up call."

So, the group secretly decided to take the opportunity to escape once outside. Meanwhile, in the lands of the second titan of Kalaharis, the spectacle of the Colosseum was pushed to the top every day by the trio.

Their fights ending in an attack and turning their opponents into fireworks became a spectacle that audiences were always dying to see, but this day, a fateful change occurred.

"This is an official announcement from the Mad. Today, all the gladiators will face the Nameless and the Red Devil. When the sun rises at its peak, the two who will remain alive in the center of the arena will fight and the winner will be rewarded with a piece of the Mad’s soul.

News that affected the city. In the history of the Colosseum, this event was a first and caused an outcry among the citizens. It was literally a tournament, a battle of survival with a true finale and the reward was what Dora wanted to get the most.

In their usual inn, they revisited the situation, with much bitterness for Lilith.

"That’s stupid, why didn’t he count me? He underestimates me!"

"Maybe he just knows I’m stronga?"

Lilith grabbed the knife stuck in her bread and pointed it at Mercy.

"Ah, really? Ok, we’ll see about that then. I’ll be your first opponent!"

Iris and Morgiana gazed at each other with apprehension, feeling the mounting invisible tension between them. They were on the verge of pouncing on one another.

"My will is the only difference between the two of you and a corpse."

The girls recoiled and shifted their gaze towards Dora, who had already emptied his glass of water before casting a cold glare at them.

"If we all agree to remain silent, let’s use our precious time to think about the situation."

Lilith sat up in exasperation, while Dora rolled his eyes and shut them tightly.

"Let’s see... I was expecting something like this to happen a little later. The only problem is that Wrath is the one who made the first move... I hate walking into someone’s trap."

He opened his eyes, staring at the empty glass for a few seconds then focused on the pouting girl in the corner.

"Very well, if he wants to settle everything today, so be it. Mercy, Lilith, I’m afraid this little game will end today. You did your mission well, except when you sacrificed your dignity for your crazy obsession, but I suppose this is the story of everyone’s life. I allow you to congratulate yourself."

He sarcastically applauded, causing the two girls to exchange glances. Morgiana nervously bit her lips before asking a question.

"So... is it over? You... Are you allowing us to... escape?"

"...Why? You’re still alive."

Morgiana felt a chill run down her spine. She bowed her head, fighting to remain conscious. In reaction, Dora chuckled and cast a quick glance at the people in the tavern. Once he was certain no one could overhear, a glimmer of danced in his eyes.

"Let’s be serious now, we have decided the order of execution, so listen carefully..."

In the kingdom of the elves and the land of Wrath, the two groups hatched their plan, and as the sun neared its zenith, both operations began.

- Kingdom of Elves

"If everyone is ready, then let’s go."

Nefertari and a few elves led the group to the location indicated by Cleopatra. The elf led the way, and behind her, her comrades were dispatched among the team.

"Looks like she saw right through us again." Eryl groaned. "Lady Freya, I’m afraid we will have to force our way out."

"...Eryl, I really want to trust you, but this...they’re not our enemies, we don’t have to kill each other."

The maid took a quick glance at the elves around them, she leaned closer to Freya’s ear.

"My lady, I’ll tell you something, don’t make any noise..."

She whispered to the young woman and slowly, Freya’s eyes widened. The group entered the deepest part of the forest and as soon as the first foot landed on the damp ground, much further, beyond the trees and the savannah, Zuri opened her eyes.

- Colosseum.

The roar of the audience made the arena vibrate as one. Dora was in the center of the battlefield, massaging his shoulder. He glanced briefly at Wrath who was keeping his seat warm.

"That doesn’t look like a mindless animal anymore...what exactly are you?"

The morning star rolled across the ground, the young boy returning his attention to the first gladiator entering the arena.

"Well, at least I have the lead role for the grand finale."

- Somewhere in the country.

Omega and Gamma stood on the edge of a cliff above a frozen land, staring at the horizon.

"...Did you feel that?"

Omega didn’t respond, his attention focused on something above, Gamma noticed his reaction and followed his gaze.

"Oh... looks like the end of the world will come sooner than expected."

"But this time it’s not us, let’s get back to business, the countdown has begun."

In the cloudy sky, the full moon, dazzling with its pink and purple hue, was moving towards the sun. At the same time in the elf kingdom, Iris joins Cleopatra, the queen humming a song.

"...Watching their children boil at their feet, in raging blood. See them fighting in the fire, without tears....Oh? Already there? They didn’t put up much resistance?"

"You wanted that, didn’t you? Well too bad, they’re very docile."

The Queen stood up, a hand on her face hiding her smile

"Oh, what kind of monster do you think I am? I was just worried about you. You need to take care of your mental, and especially physical, health..."

"For what’s coming, I already know."

Cleopatra faced the statue behind her, her eyes glowing green.

"He’s not coming, darling, he’s already here."
