Chapter 53- Trap Inside a Trap

"Shhh!" Gabi shushed his father before he smiled at Eva, waiting for her reply. He was almost certain that she will accept since she didn't want to allow Gabi to do anything to her family. He played on that note to lure her in.

On the other hand, Eva was aware of Gabi's suspicious intentions. But, even then, she couldn't immediately refuse. Fighting him head-to-head was her intention from the start and now that she got what she wanted, she was inclined to accept.

'Knowing this cunning b.a.s.t.a.r.d, he will try to use low-handed methods to try and kill me.' Eva's eyes turned sharp as she glared at Gabi.

However, Eva had one thing in her a.r.s.enal that made her very confident about this fight. Since the moment she unlocked her Runic Domain, she felt as if a whole new world of power was unlocked in her mind.

The sheer amount of ideas she had for her new powers was exciting. It was the closest Eva ever felt to fully evolving. No, it was even better than evolving!

That's why, although what she was about to do was risky, she had confidence in her abilities. Besides, deep down, Eva wanted to show Kai that she was working extremely hard to be able to keep up with him and to be worthy to stand by his side and support him whenever he needed her.

That was her dream and goal that she would put her sweat, blood, and tears into without hesitation and Gabi was in a sense her first hurdle to reaching that level.

"Fine, I agree," Eva said coldly after a while.

"Eva…"

"Big sister…"

Her family looked at her with speechless expressions. How could they not when they have seen how cunning and strong Gabi is? Worry was drawn on their faces as clear as day.

So, Eva turned around and flashed a bright smile.

"Leave it to me! I will make sure to bury him 6ft under by dawn." She said as she tapped her chest.

"..."

Those words carried such a resolution and determination that none of her family members could say a word. They simply nodded at her. For them, Eva was their pride, their joy, and someone they knew was destined for greatness, so why wouldn't they trust her?

"Please, be careful, daughter," Markus said with a serious tone.

"Mmm, you don't need to tell me."

"Sweety, come here," Selina called for Eva before she whispered in her ear.

"When you come back, I will show you some amazing techniques to seduce your little lover," Selina said with a smile as she winked meaningfully at her daughter.

The latter blushed visibly before her eyes ignited with even more determination. Seducing techniques? From someone as experienced as her mother? She was in!

"I will definitely come back quickly."

"Big sister…" Meli ran to her sister and hugged her tightly as she looked up. "You must win, ok?"

"Of course, leave it to your big sister." Patting her little sister on the head with an affectionate smile, she finally averted her eyes from her family and looked at Gabi.

She could see that his nonchalant smile was still there while his father, Trevor, was looking like an anxious mess.

"Are you serious, Gabi? Didn't you see what she did? If you die, I'm dead, you hear me?!"

"Just kill her father and leave the rest to me."

"..."

"Isn't that what you wanted? Why are you still whining like a little girl?"

"Tsk, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Fine, do whatever you want!" Saying that Trevor flashed Markus an angry glare before the two stepped forward.

"Location," Trevor said.

"Follow me," Markus replied before the two jumped out of the window and moved somewhere else. Fighting inside the mansion would make too much noise which could get the police involved and no one wanted that to happen.

"We should move to," Gabi suggested.

"There is a forest nearby. Let's settle it there." Eva replied as her silhouette vanished as if she was never there.

"Whatever you say, Evangeline." Licking his lips, Gabi followed after her.

The two silhouettes left the mansion and reached the outskirts of the city before entering the forest. They continued to move until they were deep enough not to be heard by anyone from the citizens.

Then, they both stood face to face in an open area in the forest. Both of them had a solemn aura around them.

"One question before we start: Did you find the Black Phantom?" He asked with squinted eyes, trying to a.n.a.lyze even the slightest change in her expression.

"No." She replied so naturally that even Gabi was slightly confused.

"Uh, well, even if you are lying, I will find out soon."

Then, Gabi smashed his fist down before channeling his Origin into the ground. Immediately, the earth shook violently as if it was. .h.i.t by an earthquake. He had injected the ground with an extremely loud noise which made it start cracking from the sheer strength of it.

In an instant, an area of a 1 Km radius was turned into crumbles as Eva found herself swaying left and right when she lost her balance.

At that moment, Gabi sprinted forward, jumping on the broken rocks to increase his speed. When he reached her, he extended his hand forward, to blast Eva's face with the sounds right to her face.

However, the latter's hand moved and she shot three bullets right toward Gabi's face before she jumped in the air and spun around. At the same time, she created two swords in her hand before she threw them powerfully at him. Her swift movements merely took a split second.

"Hahaha! Great!" Gabi found himself in the face of bullets and swords. She had countered his attack so fast that he had no time to do anything. Eva was truly exceeding his expectations!

*Clang* *Clang*

Using his arm, Gabi diverted the swords which left a small injury on him before he quickly bent back, letting the bullets barely pa.s.s him.

Eva didn't stop there as the moment she landed, she quickly dashed forward and formed another sword in her hand before slas.h.i.+ng down.

"Ooof, close one!" Gabi murmured as he dodged quickly. Eva then followed by a series of stabs and slashes in quick succession.

Her speed and techniques were so elegant that it would leave anyone in awe. Besides possessing the ability to form swords, she also trained in swordsmans.h.i.+p her whole life. She was a master swordsman through and through.

"You know… I always admired the Black Phantom and you Evangeline." Gabi spoke as he continued dodging. "Him for being my idol and the man I consider to be the perfect species on earth and you for… taming that monster."

"Is speaking like a villain from a B-Rated movie your talent?"

"Hahahaha!" Chuckling loudly, Gabi jumped back before he pulled out a gun. It was a rather plain-looking pistol. Even Eva knew instantly that it wasn't even able to shoot Anti-origin bullets.

So, she quickly closed the distance between them to resume her barrage of attacks. Her plan was simple, overwhelm Gabi with attacks and never allow him to do any stupid tricks. That was the only she could beat him.

"No, no, Evangeline. You are being too naive. Why would I use a normal gun in a fight between Origin users?" Grinning wildly when he saw Eva falling into his trap, Gabi pulled the trigger.

But, instead of firing bullets, the pistol fired compressed sound waves. Eva's eyes widened in shock as she found herself face-to-face with the attack and no s.p.a.ce to dodge.

*BOOOMM*

Smas.h.i.+ng against her face, Eva was sent flying back. A groan of pain escaped her mouth as she landed on the ground violently.

"AAAGHH!!" She grabbed her head as she tried to suppress the loud noise she was hearing. It was as if someone was. .h.i.tting her brain with hammers again and again. The pain was extreme.

"Tsk, tsk, just one sound bullet and you are done for? Is that it? Come on, Evangeline. We barely started." Gabi said as he approached her while wiping the blood on his arms.

When he was close enough, he pointed the sound gun at her and said.

"Hmm, well, the sooner the better. I want to extract all the information you have about the Black Phantom as soon as possible." Saying that he was about to pull the trigger. "It was nice meeting you, Evangel-"

Suddenly, Gabi's eyes widened as he felt something piercing his back from behind. His shocked expression froze for a second before his eyes moved down to look at his stomach. There, a sword could be seen protruding out as blood was gus.h.i.+ng out.

"Blurgh!!" Coughing out, Gabi felt himself sway as he stepped back.

At that moment, his eyes quickly moved toward Eva. Although she looked like she was in pain, her left hand was actually pointing toward him.

"Sword… Heaven." Eva murmured with a grin as she squinted slightly. The ringing sound was still as painful as ever in her head.

"Got you."
