Chapter 50- Unwanted Old Friends (Part 2)
Kai's destination was a small library on the outskirts of the city precisely to a small library in the corner of a small street. The place was empty with barely any houses there.
When he landed on top of the library, he opened the door to the roof and walked inside. Kai found this place a few years ago when he reached this city and decided that it was the perfect place to hide something he preferably never wanted to pick up again.
The inside of the library was a wrecked mess of books and broken shelves. Birds and insects took the place as a new home and turned it into a perfectly haunted building that could scare anyone at a glance.
Kai's eyes wandered around as he passed through the wreckage before he stopped in front of one of the broken shelves on the ground. Then, he pushed it to the side and crouched down.
*SMASH*
Clenching his fist, he punched the ground, cracking the hard cement as if it was made out of biscuits. Then, he pulled his fist out, totally unscathed, and then smashed down again with a little bit more strength.
The whole building shook from the sheer impact before all the cement was destroyed and revealed what was beneath it. Buried under the rubble was a big briefcase made out of a black material that looked like iron but was more stretchy and flexible.
That material was none other than the same material that created the huge chaos in the underworld ten years ago 'Leviathium'. Not only was it quite sturdy as a briefcase, but it also doesn't rust and doesn't get damaged by most Origin attacks so it worked perfectly to transport something very important.
After pulling out the case, Kai traced the back of the case as if he was remembering something before he sighed and opened it. Inside, there were 4 items, black flexible clothes, a mask, a silver revolver, and… a sword?
Kai examined each one of them with his eyes. As he predicted they still were as good as new even though they were buried under cement for almost 5 years.
The clothes were the ones he used before when he was still in the business. The design made them look elegant yet also perfectly hid the shape of the body like the fur of an animal. The mask was white with no eyes, no nose, and only heavily stitched lips that looked like those of a ghost.
This mask was the reason why Kai's face was never revealed to anyone he didn't want to see his face. It not only didn't allow any talents related to vision to peer through it but it also enhanced his vision at night (Not that he needed that).
Then, his eyes finally landed on the last two items and the ones he didn't want to see ever again. The silver revolver was of the same design as the one Eva had and with the same initials BP written on the side of it.
The reason Kai used this revolver was very simple… It could work with or without bullets. The reason for that was the design of the gun itself. Using a small amount of Origin, Kai could form a bullet inside the barrel and then shoot which basically meant that as long as he had origin power, he had infinite ammo.
On the other hand, the sword was a completely different story. It was Kai's main weapon and its name was 'Wretched Heart'. It was a black katana with a horrifying black blade that seemingly turned to that shade of color because of the countless souls it reaped. With that blade, Kai was able to kill thousands of people.
Picking up the gun, Kai looked at it for a moment before he spun it in his hand skillfully and then aimed around at certain things as if he was getting accustomed to it again.
"One last time?" He asked as he put the gun aside and then pulled the sword out. The moment he touched it, Kai felt his hands shudder for a second as if the sword had a sane mind and was trying to possess him again. However, with Kai's aura, he suppressed the bloodlust urges the katana wanted to apply to him.
"Don't… Don't try and take control of me. You are a mere weapon." Kai said coldly as if he was threatening the sword.
Only he knew how horrible and cursed that sword was. But, for better or worse, their chemistry was perfect. He never found a better sword than that sword and he never found a more evil sword than that sword.
After making sure he took control of it again, he put it aside, and wore the clothes that he had, and put on the mask. A strong feeling assaulted Kai's heart when he saw the reflection of his face on a puddle of water near him. Who thought that after all these years, he will see himself with this appearance again?
A myriad of thoughts flashed through Kai's head for a second.
"One last round… Just one last round." He murmured as he exhaled a deep breath and then picked up the gun and the sword before he left the place.
And on that night, a legend that was sought after by countless people was reborn to take the last dance or at least what he assumed would be the last dance.
***
At the same time, in the Lavine household. Eva was about to leave her room when she heard a small ruckus coming from the outside. Without hesitation, Eva's body as she jumped beside the bed and hid herself.
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
A second later, a rain of bullets penetrated her windows and destroyed her room. Each bullet was strong enough to render anything it touches into a broken mess.
'Anit-Origin bullets…. Tsk.' Clicking her tongue, she waited for the bullets to stop before she finally moved.
Crossing her room in a second, Eva pulled out her revolver as she dashed toward the window, and aimed her gun. The moment her eyes fell on a target, she shot without any hesitation, hitting the hitman right in the forehead, killing him instantly. Then, her hands moved and in quick succession, sniped down four more hitmen as if it was nothing.
Her aim was inhumane, to say the least.
The other hitmen quickly scattered and started climbing the walls to reach Eva's window.
Eva then quickly put down the gun and then walked a few steps behind. Her cold expression turned sharp before he dashed toward the window and jumped outside.
Everyone looked at her in utter shock. It was the fifth floor for the love of god!! Does she want to commit suicide?
However, Eva's feet landed on the grass as if she was a feather, and then turned around and pulled her gun out. Since most of them were still in the process of climbing, they won't be able to avoid bullets.
"Good night, insects." After saying that, Eva pulled the trigger.
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
The sight was horrifying. These people weren't just weak nobodies, they were professional hitmen that trained like maniacs for years to be able to become good at their craft. However, they were now turned into targets Eva could use to train just like in a shooting range.
It was akin to catching insects except bloodier.
By the time the second minute passed, Eva had killed all of them except a few that were able to run away and enter the house. However, she didn't mind them at all since her father and mother were still inside the house and they are more than capable of dealing with them.
Her target was a completely different person.
"Meli… I need to get to her before that bastard Gabi does." Clenching her teeth, Eva quickly got inside the house and ran to the second floor where her little sister's room was.
"Please be ok, Meli." Eva prayed as she accelerated her speed even more. However, the moment she reached the second floor, the sight that she saw made her screech to a halt.
In front of her, a man was dragging his ragged body on the floor as he leaving behind a trail of blood. His legs were completely shattered if they were squashed under a truck.
"S-Save me… P-Please." He murmured weakly as he tried to reach out for Eva.
