Chapter 101- Reviving Kiss

The sea went quiet as if all the commotion that happened vanished in an instant. Everything screeched to a halt as if time froze. The only thing that kept moving was Kai's silhouette as he slashed with his sword in a rather slow manner.

However, the moment he made a full swing, the world returned to normal albeit with a drastic change. The monster beneath him had stopped squirming and moving.

Then, under Kai's cold gaze, the monster's upper body glided down before it got detached from its lower part. The cut was extremely clean as if it was made with a precise knife.

*BANG*

The huge frame of the monster fell to the sea floor as an unbelievably huge amount of orange blood gushed out of the severed part. The monster's howls stopped completely in a second as its horrifying eyes lost their vigor and light.

The monster was cut in half with one move.

This was simply a terrifying feat that could shake the whole world if anyone were to see it. Even the most skilled of swordsman could never cut something of that size with one move let alone a creature with a skin as tough as pure iron.

'You still didn't lose your touch, didn't you?' Kai looked at Wretched Heart as he quickly suppressed its aura again when he felt it trying to take over him. Kai wasn't surprised that even after years of not using it, the sword was still as devastatingly sharp as ever.

In fact, it seemed to have somehow grown even sharper and more l.u.s.tful for blood during this period of time. As if the sword was gaining strength of its own. Kai knew that if that was the case, he would have to deal with it one way or another.

However, Wretched Heart wasn't the only reason for this terrifying attack. Kai's technique 'Divine Beginning' was the main key part. It was a technique of his that he learned when he was still a toddler.

Its power was unmatched and its effects could only be considered monstrous. However, that didn't mean that anyone could learn it. In fact, as far as Kai was concerned, he was one of only two people to ever learn it. Just at the mere thought of who that second person was, Kai frowned as he felt a slight anger rise in his heart. So, he quickly shook his head to disperse those thoughts.

'Hopefully, I won't need to use you long enough for you to finally take control over me.' He thought to himself before he unsheathed the sword and quickly started swimming up with all of his strength.

He only had a few seconds at most before his oxygen ran out and he will end up dying from suffocation. That would be ironically the funniest death Kai could ever have. A monster like him that was never defeated ended up drowning in the sea.

However, Kai won't allow it. Moving his hands and feet in perfect motion, he was able to cross a huge distance in a matter of seconds. The more he moved, the more he felt his eyes growing hazy and the burning feeling in his chest was at an all-time high.

'Just a few more' Kai thought to himself. His limbs were growing weaker and his Origin was already wavering, making the coldness of the sea penetrate and engulf his body making the situation even worse.

However, luckily for him, just at the last second, when he was about to lose consciousness, he could finally see the light of the sun before his head pierced the surface of the water.

"Hah Hah Hah" Inhaling and exhaling quickly, Kai felt as if he just came back from death's doors.

"That was certainly unpleasant." He murmured before he looked around him.

Other than the sinking boat, Kai couldn't see anything else around him.

"Where is Eva?"

When he expanded his senses and didn't find her on the surface, Kai's expression changed. "Don't tell me" Then, he quickly took a deep breath before he dived down again.

'Why did she stay this long underwater? Did the tentacles get her? Did I waste time?' A million questions emerged in his head as he looked around frantically.

Eva had submerged herself underwater at the same time as he did and she stayed there the whole time he was fighting the monster. Which meant that if she was indeed still underwater, then she was in grave danger.

Kai's senses expanded to the extreme as he searched for her silhouette. For some reason, Kai felt his heart rate increase and his mind was rather chaotic at that moment. He didn't stop to understand why as he knew every pa.s.sing second was extremely crucial.

A few moments later, his senses caught the presence of what seemed to be a human 60 or 70 meters away from him. He could clearly sense that it was Eva and from what he can sense, she was slowly descending to the sea floor Motionless.

Without a second thought, Kai dashed toward her at his top speed. Feeling her rather weak presence, Kai's panic increased.

'Hurry I don't have time'

A few seconds later, Eva's silhouette finally entered his vision. She was slowly moving down with her limbs spread wide. Her eyes were closed and her body was limp.

Reaching her, Kai quickly scooped her. He could instantly sense that her heart wasn't beating and that made a weird feeling rise in his heart. A feeling that he thought he would never have in his life again. A feeling that he almost forgot about after all these years.

However, he didn't care about that detail at that moment as he quickly rose to the surface.

"Hah" Breathing a lungful of air, he carried Eva to the floating boat.

Then, he laid her on her back before he quickly channeled his Origin and put his hand on her chest.

"Come on You aren't dead yet." He murmured as he sent a shockwave through her body. However, nothing happened. So, he tried again. The shockwave made her body move but she didn't seem to be gaining any pulse.

"Come on, Eva. I wasn't late. You won't die. I won't allow it." He said in a rather authoritative tone.

Then, he tilted her head before he quickly closed the distance between them and connected their lips together. Feeling her cold, soft lips made Kai's eyes squint. Then, he blew into her mouth, making her chest rise. At the same time, he used his Origin to shock her heart to restart its functioning.

Breathing a lungful of air again, he blew it into her mouth. The feeling of dread Kai had at that moment was so new to him that he didn't even know how to react to it properly.

After a few tries and as Kai's feeling of hopelessness increased, a miracle happened. Kai felt Eva's pulse suddenly start again. Then, she suddenly t.i.tled her body to the side voluntarily.

"Cough!! Cough!! Cough!!"

Water came out of her mouth with each cough. After finally getting it all out, her eyes finally started opening again.

At that moment, Kai's eyes widened slightly.
