Chapter 115- Meeting With The Sword God (Part 1)

A few days passed quickly and the time for Kaya\'s return to the HQ came. Predictably, the two women were very nervous about it since Kai had shockingly decided to go with Kaya.

It wasn\'t only seriously dangerous to enter the Headquarters of a behemoth like Divinity but to meet one of the strongest people in that organization. It was safe to say that Kai was doing something reckless, well, in Eva and Kaya\'s eyes that is.

"Kai, can I have a word with you?" Eva asked as she knocked on Kai\'s room. Inside, the latter was about to put the mask on and pick up his sword and gun but he halted and looked up.

"What?" He asked.

A second later, Eva walked inside. Her expression was serious and he could sense anxiousness in her aura.

"Is this really necessary, Kai? We can do this without the need to get Divinity involved. Mikayla Raullot isn\'t a joke. He is a monster through and through."

"If he\'s a monster, then what am I?" Kai asked which rendered Eva speechless for a second. "If he\'s a monster, then I\'m way worse than that. He already knows that. He had seen what I can do. If he didn\'t grow senile then he wouldn\'t dare to antagonize me." Kai said.

"What about your sickness? What if it gets triggered there?"

"It won\'t be a problem. I have a way to stop the symptoms from knocking me unconscious."

"Sigh…" Eva shook her head. She really couldn\'t change his mind.

Seeing her fear still lingering, Kai thought for a moment before he approached her and tapped her on the head.

"Taking down the Guild can\'t be done without taking some risks. You already know that. So, trust me just like how I trust you will do what I asked you to do. To accomplish our goal, your help is needed, Eva." He said looking into Eva\'s shocked red eyes.

Her anxious heart started beating fast as she felt her breathing grow uneven. She never expected Kai to pat her on the head. This was a first and it was mind-numbing!

It was a mere pat and yet the feeling she felt the moment his hand made contact with her head was pure bliss. In a second, all of her fear and anxiety vanished and were replaced with a warmth that engulfed her entire body. Closing her eyes, she enjoyed the feeling with a relaxed smile.

Her body instinctively leaned forward and her forward touched Kai\'s shoulder.

"Ok, I understand… But, can I request one thing? She asked.

"Hm?"

"Can you hug me? Just once and then you can go." She said with a rather embarrassed look.

"..." Kai didn\'t immediately reply as he looked at her silently.

"W-Well, not very much, I was just blabbering on and on. You don\'t have to-" Before she could even finish her words, Kai pulled her in and hugged her. His left arm rested on her head while the other one supported her slim waist.

Kai could feel Eva flinch the moment he hugged her but eventually, she relaxed before she hugged him back and closed her eyes.

"I really love you, Kai." She confessed.

Kai\'s lips parted for a second as if he wanted to reply but then closed again and stayed silent. A few silent moments passed between the two. It was comfortable and warm just like the sun on a good spring day.

If it wasn\'t for the fact that Kai needed to leave, Eva would\'ve hugged him for hours and hours. She just couldn\'t get enough of him. Kai was her drug that no matter how much she consumes, she will find herself craving for more.

\'Soon, it will all be over.\' Finally, she released him from the hug before she looked deeply into his eyes. "Take care."

"I will be back."

After that, Kai picked up the mask and walked out of the room. Outside, he found Kaya waiting.

"Let\'s go."

Nodding her head, the two departed from the apartement.

"Kaya!! You rascal, where have you been?"

A few hours later, Kaya was sitting in front of Mikayla. The old man looked at her with a frown. His aura was rather agitated compared to his usual demeanor.

"It\'s a long story, old man. The mission failed." She said.

"Failed? How did it even fail?" Looking at his daughter, the old man could only frown harder when he heard the bad news. The mission should\'ve been smooth sailing.

"The things that I found in the Frozen Plains shouldn\'t even exist. Because of that, the whole team was killed and I was also almost killed!"

"Unexpected things? What the hell are you talking about, Kaya?"

"I\'m talking about weird monsters. I found a fucking a half-spider half-human in that place. Its power is equal or even stronger than a Virtue and it had a nest in a cave in the Frozen Plains."

"... Huh?" Squinting his eyes in confusion, Mikayla was about to voice his questions. But, Kaya continued.

"It\'s a very long sto-" Before she could even finish her sentence, Kaya flinched as she felt a presence appearing behind her.

Mikayla also felt it and immediately sprang into action without a second thought. He vanished from where he was sitting as he dashed toward the intruder, his hand was already unsheathing his sword.

Then, he slashed down with his weapon. The world froze as the sword clashed with another sword. The whole room was hit with a strong gush of Origin power emanating from both of them.

\'What the hell?!\' Even when she anticipated it, Kaya could only get shocked at how absurd their auras were.

\'Strong… He stopped my attack without using any talent. Who is he?\' The old man thought coldly as he felt his hand vibrate from the sheer power of their exchange. He didn\'t understand how someone was able to infiltrate his office which was one of the most secure places in the world and even easily clashed swords with him but he didn\'t care.

Being the sword god, he boasted a power with the sword that no one could rival. In the last 60 or 70 years, no one was able to survive two attacks from Mikayla. The first one would disarm the target and the second one would end their lives.

Looking up at the intruder that was able to stop his deadly attack, his face froze. A white mask with a stitched mouth, black clothes, a black sword, and a revolver stuck to his hip. He could never forget those descriptions since they belonged to someone he considered to be an anomaly amongst anomalies.

"The Black Phantom?" He murmured his name.

"Is this your way of greeting the person you\'ve been looking for, Mr. Raullot?" Kai asked coldly as he used more strength to push Mikayla away.

The latter jumped back and looked at Kai.

"What are you doing here?" He asked warily as he tightened his grip on his sword.

"Relax, Mr. Raullot. You wanted to meet me, didn\'t you? So, here I am. I came here to talk with you. So, if you don\'t mind, please put away your sword."

"I didn\'t live through 90 years in this cruel world to believe those words. Especially when they come from someone who I\'m not sure I could beat."

"I think you misunderstood something, Mr. Raullot. You don\'t have a choice in this." Kai said as he vanished and appeared behind Raullot at a speed that far exceeded anything the old man had ever seen. Then, he felt something touch his back. It was the cold barrel of a gun. "You either put your sword away willingly or I will make you do it.

The old man stood there silently, his frowning face oddly changed to that of a smile before he started laughing loudly. His laugh had a hint of mockery in it, not toward Kai, but toward himself.

"You became even scarier than I could remember. Maybe I grew too old to see the difference."
