Chapter 82- Origin Artifacts (Part 1)

Reaching the parking lot, the two girls were surprised to see the car parked there. With its luxurious appearance, it definitely didn't fit the cheap place it was parked in.

It was akin to putting gold in the middle of a muddy pond.

"Is it that car?" Eva asked as she pointed at the car with a speechless expression on her face.

"I needed it to get back fast. But, now that it became useless, you can take it if you want." He said as he opened the door.

Eva opened her mouth to speak before she sighed and closed it again. She completely forgot that Kai was extremely rich because of his lifestyle so seeing him waste at least 20 million on a car was something new to her.

"Fufufufu~ My future husband is so cool~" Kaya said with a mischievous smile.

"You shut up." Eva retorted.

"What did you say?" Kaya glared at Eva.

Eva, however, ignored her and walked toward the car before she sat inside. Kaya grumbled to herself silently before she followed the two.

Then, the car left the school at top speed. The two girls were surprised at the sudden acceleration of the car and Kai didn't seem to have any desire to go slow. Even with their tolerance for danger, the ride back to his home was quite the ride.

They felt as if they had lost a few years of their lives during that time.

"We're here." When Kai said this and turned around, he found the two girls holding onto the car for their dear life. A pale expression appeared on their faces.

"I-I thought I was going to die even though I probably wouldn't die from a car accident." Eva thought as she heaved up and down.

"Me too…" Kaya agreed.

"... What's wrong?" Kai asked with a calm expression mixed with a hint of confusion.

"..." (x2) The two girls didn't know whether to laugh or cry at that moment.

After that, the trio walked inside the apartement complex and into Kai's house. Both of them were familiar with it so they sat down on the sofa.

Kai's cat came rushing toward him as she greeted him happily. Seeing her master was always something this cat enjoyed. Resting her face on his lap, she purred happily. The two girls watched the small animal enjoy Kai's warmth and for the first time felt jealous… from a cat.

Kai took a seat on the chair and began.

"So, as you might've predicted, Eva. I told Kaya about my past."

The girl's face frowned slightly as she gave Kaya a side glance.

"Yeah, I assumed that. But… Can we really trust her? I mean, she's from Divinity." Eva asked.

Although Kaya didn't like what Eva said, she couldn't retort to it as she knew that was the truth. She was as close as she could get to being their enemy without being one. That's why Kai's trust in her was all the more impactful. He had ignored the potential danger and gave her the benefit of the doubt.

"Yes, she's trustworthy. Besides, even if Kaya did try to betray me…" Kai didn't finish the last sentence but both girls knew what he meant purely from his chilling gaze.

The one that got affected the most was Kaya herself as she realized for the first time that she wasn't simply sitting in front of her beloved… She was also in the presence of arguably the most dangerous man on their planet.

That alone was more than enough to make her feel fear. However, even more, than fear, that made her more determined.

"If I ever end up betraying you… I will be the one to kill myself." She said.

"Let's not jump to conclusions now and focus on the important matter. I will tell both of you what happened exactly when I got captured by the Executioners."

After that, Kai went on to recount what happened exactly. He kept the way he killed them blurry since he didn't like to divulge topics about his powers. He instead focused on the reason why the Guild wanted Eva.

"Why are they after my talent?" She asked.

"That I do not know of. But, we can safely assume that considering your talent, it has something to do with swords. The fact that you can summon random swords from all periods of history including the future is certainly a mysterious ability."

"A sword, huh? But why are they looking for a sword? As far as I'm concerned, all weapons are normal unless they were humanly infused with Origin power." Eva said matter-of-factly.

Swords, spears, bows, guns, and all kinds of weaponry weren't affected by Origin for one reason or another. So, humans opted to synthetically create weapons that can use Origin. It mainly just increased the efficiency of the weapon such as its strength and speed.

So, Eva was certain all the swords she can create are fairly normal.

However, what Kai said next made both girls shocked.

"I guess both of you aren't aware of it."

"Aware of what?" Kaya asked.

Kai didn't answer as he stood up and walked to the corner where he put his sword and gun. He picked up the katana and came back.

"This sword is called 'Wretched Heart'." He said.

Both girls knew of that legendary sword as it was as iconic as Kai himself. Along with the revolver, they were weapons of the highest quality.

However, Kai had a completely different view of these two weapons… Especially Wretched Heart.

Pulling the sword out of its sheath, the room was submerged in coldness. The two girls felt a chill run down their spine as they stared at the ominous black color of the blade.

"Almost all swords and other weapons in the world are normal. However, there are very few weapons that broke that rule. A well-made weapon could in some cases gain a form of sentience."

"Sentience?"

"Mhm, while it's not the sentience we might understand but the weapon certainly becomes more aware of itself as a weapon. So, if such a weapon was used by someone with great skills and soaked in the blood of countless enemies… It develops something similar to humans. It develops a 'Talent' of its own."

A bombshell was dropped on the two women. Not only because what Kai said was absurd but because they never heard of it before. How rare were these weapons for people of Eva and Kaya's caliber to never even hear about them?

"These weapons are called 'Origin Artifacts' and only a few of them exist in the world. One of these weapons is this one." Kai said as he stared at Wretched Heart with a cold expression. Even now, he was feeling the sword trying to take control of him.

"Why have we never heard of them?" Kaya questioned.

"It's because only a few in this world knew of their existence. Some wealthy people do own such weapons but they aren't aware of it and those that do know of it keep it a secret because these weapons are priceless."

'That's normal if the underworld was to know of their existence… It will be chaos.' Kaya rubbed her chin thoughtfully.

"Then, with what you said, do you mean…" Eva interjected the conversation.

"Yes, your talent can most likely create Origin Artifacts at some level."
