Chapter 178 Chapter 178- The Dawn Of a New World (Part 1)

The fight continued for minutes as the two clashed violently. Their silhouettes were barely traceable even for the trained eye.

For the normal eye, however, they only appeared as flashy colors of Orange that spread across the whole area, sending anything close to the location of the fight flying.

Using his speed and strength, Kai guided the fight away from Kaya and any other possible citizen who might realize there was a gigantic fight going on. Before the operation started, Kai had made sure to shroud the castle in a visual illusion that hid all the stuff that might happen. Although an illusion of that scale required an astronomical amount of Origin, he still was able to handle it, albeit it still took a good chunk of his Origin pool.

On top of that, he had to also create a soundproof field around the castle to stop the sound of destruction. That also consumed a lot of Origin and even more Origin to maintain while also fighting against a mindless creature that was using an immense amount of Origin while wielding one of the strongest weapons to ever exist.

On the other hand, Eva seemed to be completely unaware of her environment and the person she was fighting. Her eyes were an orange empty hallow of their past radiance. She didn\'t hesitate to deliver lethal attacks aimed at Kai. However, the latter knew that this was all because Origin had taken over her mind and stopped her rational thoughts.

*Swish*

The two clashed violently again, using their extensive skills and endless arsenal of sword techniques. Even with Eva\'s chaotic state, her sword style didn\'t lose its graceful and elegant nature. In fact, Kai could see that with her fighting completely unrestrained, she seemed to have become even more adept at it.

With a slash, Kai\'s sword clung violently as he jumped back before he dodged another following attack.

\'She\'s losing Origin quickly…\' He thought as he deflected her sword again.

However, the problem that he was facing at the moment was the length of the fight. Kai\'s Origin pool wasn\'t endless, even he would start feeling exhausted after this excessive use of Origin. Not to mention his illness that was linked to his usage of Origin which was rapidly reaching a critical stage.

Even while fighting, Kai could feel the symptoms rising slowly. If he ends up getting the symptoms in the middle of the fight, he might suffer from a lethal attack or even die because of it. So, Kai needed to drain Eva from Origin as fast as possible.

As the fight continued to get more and more brutal, in the far distance, Kaya slowly stood up with difficulty as she looked at the flashing lights and loud rumbling of a brutal war occurring in the distance.

"What is happening there? I can feel Kai and the kiddo\'s auras…" Kaya couldn\'t understand at first. It seemed that Kai was fighting Eva for some reason.

However, when she sensed Eva\'s aura, Kaya almost stumbled again. As far as she knew, Eva wasn\'t that strong.

As Kaya was about to move toward the two, her senses suddenly picked up on a presence that was very far away from the fight. Her eyes immediately shot toward the exact location of this aura.

"Something\'s off…" She murmured before she changed her plan.

Even though she was worried sick about Kai, she also knew that her beloved was more than capable of handling the situation he was in. Hell, her presence might make it even more troublesome for him. So, instead, she decided to investigate this mysterious presence.

As far she could tell, this person had something to do with the black shadow walls that appeared out of nowhere.

\'Ugh, my body still hurts…\' Clenching her teeth, she ignored the pain from the injuries she sustained and quickly summoned a huge eagle before she jumped on top of it and flew into the distance.

It didn\'t take her long to reach her destination before she jumped from the back of the eagle and landed on the roof of the building.

"Woah… Superhero landing!" Almost immediately, she heard the sound of someone clapping followed by a sarcastic remark.

Looking back, she asked the black figure. "You\'re quite the annoying bastard, aren\'t you? I ran through 4 packets of chips from boredom because of you. How are you going to take responsibility for my weight gain?"

"My apologies, miss. But, I can give you some good tips for training if you want."

"No need. Now, I want to know who the hell are you and why are you here. Depending on your answer, I might not break every bone in your body."

The black figure finally stood up and looked back at Kaya. Even under his veil of mysteriousness, Kaya could see the mirth in his eyes.

"Hey, hey, I\'m just here for the show. Look, I even brought some popcorn with me."

"Show? How did you know of this?"

"A hunch… Ehem, actually, no, it\'s more of a sixth sense. My sixth sense is being able to know what the Black Phantom would do next."

Kaya\'s eyes squinted at this man. She didn\'t know whether he was a hostile enemy or a weirdo from the Guild. Either way, he didn\'t strike her as someone with the intention to fight… At least not when everyone is still alerted.

"What do you want from the Black Phantom?"

"Oh, nothing. I\'m just a hardcore fan of his work and so I make sure to attend all of his concerts and one-man shows." The man replied playfully. "Call it a hobby of mine."

"And is this creepy stalking of yours something he is aware of?"

The black figure didn\'t reply immediately as if he was thinking of an answer before he shrugged. "Maybe. Anyway, since Grey has been killed. I have nothing more to do here."

"Grey is killed?"

\'So, Kai is indeed fighting Eva… What the hell happened down there?\' Kaya was getting more and more worried now.

"It\'s truly fascinating how in a mere few hours, the Guild will be no more. It\'s truly a night like no other. After today, the world as a whole will change completely." The man said with an almost ecstatic tone.

"What do you mean?"

"Hahaha, of course, I\'m talking about the balance of power. With the Guild\'s end, Divinity will now be the one and only ruler of the underworld. The world will be their new playdough to mold and shape however they want."

"..."

"I\'m beyond excited to see what will happen. Ah, what a great time to be alive!"

Then, the Black Figure slowly started descending into a pond of darkness that accumulated beneath him.

"Hey, wait!" Dashing forward, Kaya tried to catch the man, only to end up grabbing nothing.

"If the Black Phantom asks you about me, and he will. Tell him that \'The other side sends you its regards.\'. He will get it. Bye-bye ~" The black figure said as he vanished completely, leaving no trace behind him.

"The other side sends its regards… What the fuck does that mean?" Kaya murmured to herself. This man really ticked her off. However, his words were true to a certain extent. The world will never be the same after tonight.

*BOOOOM*

"Right! I need to go back!" Shaking those thoughts away, Kaya quickly summoned her eagle again and flew back to the heart of the battle as fast as possible.
