Chapter 180 Chapter 180- The Dawn Of a New World (Part 3)

The Momentum Talent was, in and out of itself, a very destructive ability. It's something undodgeable and unstoppable too. Because it is the result of the opponent's attack being reversed and thrown at them, it's not something that could be physically manipulated.

Hell, except for changing the direction, Kai can't control the Momentum either. He can't decrease or increase the effect, he also can't stop its glaring downside. Apart from the huge amount of Origin needed to execute it, the talent also affects the user as much as it affects the target.

'Tsk...' Cursing inwardly, Kai felt the pain from the impact attack hit him right in the face. Even when reversing the attack's momentum, Kai still would feel the direct pain from the hit on his body.

He still didn't know the reason for that downside and never really bothered to since his pain tolerance made it easy for him to accept the damage of almost everything that exists. However, this didn't seem to be the same case for Eva's sword. Each attack from that thing was so painful, even for someone like Kai.

However, he didn't have time to whine or stop. The fight is reaching its climax and everything he does from this point onwards will be crucial in determining whether Eva will live or die.

With that in mind, Kai dashed after Eva who had landed slightly far away before she rolled on her feet and dashed toward him at top speed. Kai noticed that her speed had decreased considerably. Her aura also lost some of its color.

'Good, it's working...'

The two clashed violently. Kai's eyes stared directly at Eva's through the broken mask.

'Come on, Eva. You can take control of your body again. Make it easier to help you...' He thought to himself as he fought back the rampaging Eva.

Seconds passed as the fight started taking a different path. Kai was slowly overpowering the weakened Eva. His speed had definitely decreased too, but not as much as Eva's. Though, Kai's weakened body was screaming for him to stop and take some rest. Hell, blood was still leaking out of his mouth.

Eventually, one of Kai's attacks pushed Eva back, making her stumble. At that moment, Kai's eyes turned sharper as he jumped on Eva before he grabbed both of her arms. Then, he pushed her down, restricting her movements. The latter tried to resist with all of her power.

"Look at me, Eva. I know you're there. You aren't being yourself now." He spoke calmly as he used more force to keep her motionless.

At that moment, Eva's eyes landed on Kai's purple irises and weirdly, she stopped resisting. Her dead eyes sparked briefly with a sane light as if she recognized him.

"Let me help you, Eva." He spoke again. "You said you will make sure I get the cure for my sickness. You are far from that goal. Are you going to give up here and now?" His voice was the same for most people. But, for Eva and Kaya, they could notice the clear gentle, and warmth in it.

It was something they yearned for more than anything else and it seems even when she was in this state, Eva would still recognize her beloved's voice.

"K... ai?" She said in a hoarse, weak voice as if she was still fighting something.

Slowly, her dead eyes started regaining some light as her raging aura visibly calmed down. That's when Kai put his finger on her forehead before he closed his eyes.

'I need to extract all the Origin in her body.' He thought to himself as he quickly pried into Eva's body. Then, using his Origin, he started slowly kicking all the unpurified Origin that was raging inside her body.

Immediately, a loud groan escaped Eva's mouth. Her body fidgeted from the sheer torture. But, she didn't try to push Kai away.

At the same time, huge amounts of Origin were exiting her body. On her side, the Progenitor's sword also turned into orange particles and started dissipating in the air.

Moments passed slowly before Kai eventually pulled his finger away and fell down to the side. His face was trickling with sweat and his breathing was ragged.

Eva had completely returned to normal and was sleeping soundly next to him. Her beautiful face was messy with dirt and blood. But, she was still as beautiful as ever.

"Kai!!" Kaya rushed to him as fast as she could with her useless leg.

"I'm fine..." He replied as he slowly rose from the ground. However, that mere movement made him cough a few mouthfuls of blood.

"Oh no!" Kaya was panicking on the side, not knowing what to do. Her beloved seemed to be struggling to even move and she couldn't use her leg yet. How can she call for help for him? Can she even carry him to a hospital with her useless leg? n)-o/-V-(e--l()b//1).n

"I said I'm fine... I just need to breathe some air..." Kai replied in a low tone as he sat down cross-legged before looking up, inhaling and exhaling audibly. His body will need some time to recover from the symptoms.

Kaya looked at him for a second before she exhaled in relief and fell down on the ground, right beside him.

"Is the kiddo going to be ok?"

"Is it finally over?" She asked with a tired tone. Her body felt so painful all over that she just wanted to sleep forever.

"Yes... It's over." Kai replied as the two looked at the horizon. The sun was slowly rising up, announcing the start of a new day. Who thought that all of this happened in a mere night? Hell, it felt like months' worth of events happened to Kai, Eva, and Kaya.

"Thank god... We... We did it..." Kaya said as a small, beautiful smile appeared on her face. She really felt relieved that everything was finally over.

"I'm... I'm taking a vacation from everything for 100 years..." She murmured.

"Are you even allowed to do that?" Kai asked without looking.

"Divinity can go fuck itself. I'm not going back to work for a long while. We deserve a vacation from everything for at least a while, don't we?" Kaya retorted as she turned around and stared at Kai. Her eyes were akin to two magnets that could attract anyone into staring at them.

"Maybe you're right..."

Kai was especially delighted that he could finally rest from all this Guild stuff. Granted, he still had many things to do. There is the matter of his illness that he needed to attend to as fast as possible. There was also the map he bought from the auction which he still didn't find the opportunity to open yet. And finally, there was that matter with the woman named Claire.

But, all in all, the biggest problem yet had been solved and Kai could finally lay low for a while.

As they were like that, suddenly, a loud scream reached their ears.

"YOU BASTARD, Arthur!!!" Taylor yelled as she glared at Arthur with her bow aimed at his face. "Explain yourself before I plant an arrow in your fucking brain!!"

On her side were the other 2 Archangels, Elvi and Zero. They all stared at Arthur and the person lying beside him, swimming in their own blood. It was the dead corpse of Lola with her head completely severed. There was no trace of the two Executioners they were fighting.
