Chapter 2100 Hex And Reincarnation
"..."
Evelynn suddenly went silent upon hearing Davis's furious bellow. With two wide eyes gleaming with a purple glint and one eerie hex eye, she gazed at him with impudence as her purplish-green hair flowed transcendentally amidst the sea breeze.
"When did you two realize?"
"You slipped up when you reacted to Davis's surge of power, instinctively releasing a tiny bit of your undulations in order to protect yourself. You think you can escape my senses, Empress Hex Arachnid?"
"As expected of Fiend Myria. No one can compare to you." Evelynn's lips curved into a wicked smile as she saw Davis, "And you?"
"I've been this body for a while. Judging from your past, I can pretty much guess what you possess, a true apex treasure-
"Shut your mouth." Davis returned from a distance, his eyes shining in a bloody light, "Leave Evelynn right now or die."
"Ahahaha! You want to kill me? Are you sure you can kill me without killing your Evelynn, the person you love to death? Are you sure that you want to let this Fiend handle me here? She might accidentally kill your beloved wife, no?"
Evelynn cackled as she brought a frown on both Davis and Myria's expressions.
*Puchi!~*
Abruptly, four deadly bone sickles stabbed into Myria's body, causing blood to splash. Simultaneously, Evelynn's third eye shone in a terrifying crimson light, its aura churning against Davis.
Davis could intrinsically feel something near him when he suddenly exploded!
However, what exploded wasn't him but his Solitary Soul Avatar that arrived in front of him, only losing two arms from the surge of the Collapse Hex because the body was shrouded in life energy.
"Tch, you blocked it... that wench..."
Evelynn's gaze became disappointed while Davis had an expressionless face, still staring at the possessed Evelynn with killing intent blazing. The three hexes, Evelynn had told him its weakness long ago, that the line of sight was an important requirement.
Therefore, she wanted to know when he realized it as she didn't believe that his soul was as strong as hers. Even she almost missed the minuscule amount of undulations as it was almost practically the same as Evelynn's. There was no way that Davis could've differentiated such minute differences unless he was truly knowledgeable in that field or could sense the slightest hint of difference in the aura, which should be impossible for a being who had never been an immortal.
After all, an immortal's senses were vastly superior to that of a mortal's.
"No."
Came Davis's bland answer, causing Myria to nod her head as though expecting it, but it still didn't explain how he managed to sense that thing.
"Then?"
A gentle smile suddenly appeared on Davis's face as he caressed Evelynn's cheek, his gaze full of love.
"Evelynn would never use her Sealing Hex against me, even if it is to stop me from hurting others, because the only time she ever used it on me is to stop me from hurting myself."
He couldn't help but remember what he had to go through to convince her to use the Sealing Hex on him, but as he took her karmic sin, she refused to stop using the Sealing Hex on him. She was adamant about using Sealing Hex on him for any other purpose than stopping him from harming himself because she recognized that this power of sealing was the same as crippling someone. She didn't want to commit such a deed against Davis, perhaps thinking of it as an act of treason.
That's why Evelynn's willingness to use Sealing Hex at that moment when he slightly lost control of his powers was extremely suspicious, but until Myria told him that it could be a possession, he was lost over why she did it, and it turned that she was possessed.
"You believed my words for such a reason...?"
Myria's brows twitched, not knowing if she was exasperated or astonishingly moved.
Davis nodded as he turned to look at her, having many questions to ask Myria, but first, he waited for Evelynn to wake up, and within ten seconds, the apple of his eye opened her eyes, her eyelids fluttering ever so lightly before her gaze fell on him, tears filling her sockets.
"You saved me, didn't you?"
"Myria and I saved you." Davis leaned slightly and kissed her forehead, right on her third eye.
"You're safe now. Are you fine?"
"Mhm." Evelynn stood straight in mid-air as she left Davis's embrace, placing a dainty hand on her forehead as she narrowed her eyes, "I only realized the possession right after you two confronted her. What just happened?"
"What just happened? How did it enter Evelynn in the first place?"
Davis also asked as he turned to look at Myria, his voice hoarse with remnant killing intent lingering like rust.
