Chapter 54- You Are Dead

Gabi's face paled slightly as he tried to keep himself from falling to the ground. The sword had pierced multiple of his vital organs and was bleeding him at an extremely fast rate. Even with his strength, stopping the bleeding would be very hard.

It was a completely unexpected turn of events.

"Did… you think that I will make it obvious when… I, ugh, use Sword Heaven?" Eva grinned coldly as she tried to stand up on her feet.

Looking at her with a shocked expression, Gabi's mind caught what she meant, and that only further shocked him.

When she used Sword Heaven for the first time, she deliberately made it look so extravagant and flashy so that she can trick Gabi into believing Sword Heaven required all of that preparation. That way, he would never predict or even think that Eva could actually summon it without all of that.

This meant that from the very start, Eva had predicted that Gabi will propose a face-to-face duel between them. She had completely tricked him. A trick inside a trick inside a trick that Gabi would've never been able to notice or predict. This level of planning requires an unfathomable cleverness and extreme awareness of the opponent.

However, instead of frowning at his potential demise, Gabi chuckled instead.

"So… this is what the Black Phantom's lover is capable of. Your intelligence is far beyond what I expected. You two are a match made in heaven indeed. Hahaha… *Cough* *Cough*" Gabi said with a low chuckle.

To that, Eva merely smiled.

"The moment you decided to target him, you already lost. I would never allow an insect like you to find him, not when I'm alive." Eva said as she summoned a sword and approached Gabi who was already on his knees.

"Goodbye, bastard."

As Eva was about to slice his head clean off his shoulders. Gabi raised his hand which made Eva assume he will still resist.

However, instead of attacking her, his hand moved swiftly and plunged into his chest, destroying his heart.

"BLUUURGHH!!" Coughing a huge mouthful of blood, Gabi slumped down as he murmured. "I… thought if I will die… It will be by his hands and no one else's. I won't allow… for anyone else to take that… from me."

Eva listened to his words with a cold expression and motionless as she witness Agent 34 slowly dying. Eventually, his body fell down and he stopped breathing.

When Eva was certain his heart stopped, she fell down to the ground as she heaved up and down. At that moment, blood started leaking out of her ears slowly as Eva squinted from the sheer pain.

Although she tried to keep herself fairly composed, the horrible pain she felt in her ears and head was so intense that she could see herself losing consciousness. In fact, Eva was sure that her eardrums were completely destroyed so she had to read Gabi's lips to be able to understand what he meant.

Luckily, that worked since if Gabi realized she was in a very horrible condition, he would've never killed himself and would've instead risked it to kill her.

"I… did it… I protected… Kai's life…" She murmured as an image of her beloved flashed in her eyes. Her hazy gaze turned warm as countless emotions filled her heart. Then, her eyes slowly closed and she allowed her brain to shut off.

Meanwhile, somewhere else, in an abandoned factory, two silhouettes were still clashing violently. Gunshots could be heard filling the whole place along with the sound of grunts.

The fight between Markus and Trevor was extremely intense. Both parties were very close to each other in terms of power and so no one was able to overpower the other. However, that didn't mean that they weren't able to inflict heavy damage on each other.

"Hah… Hah…" Markus' breathing was erratic as he wiped the blood on his cheek. His condition was very bad. He had multiple bullet injuries in his abdomen and arms and a big sword injury on his leg.

However, for better or worse, he wasn't completely drained. On the other hand, Trevor seemed to be on the verge of falling down. His clothes were soaked in blood and his eyes were slowly losing their vigor and strength.

"B-Bastard… I won't stop till I slit your throat. For killing my son!"

Markus scoffed loudly, "You have a very noble moral purpose there, friend. Isn't that the same son you wanted to disown as soon as possible? Now he became the reason for your revenge?"

"Shut up! What do you know?! The Charlamagne family is the greatest family in the world! We have the money, the power, the heritage, everything!! No one dares to disrespect us and think they will come out of it safely. No one!!"

After saying that, Trevor dashed toward Markus with all of his strength. He was going to go all in! His gun aimed forward and fired countless bullets toward the head of the Lavine family.

The latter jumped in the air and tried to fire back with a round of his own. However, he soon realized something. Trevor suddenly changed his trajectory and dashed around Markus before he stopped and then touched the ground.

"Hahahahaha! I got you! King of Plants!" Yelling loudly, the ground suddenly shook as a huge plant-like creature emerged from beneath the cement.

The monster looked like a carnivorous plant albeit way bigger with sharp teeth inside its mouth and a horrifying acid boiling in the center of its body, ready to digest anything the plant swallows.

"Shit!" Markus cursed as he found himself falling right toward the plant's mouth. He couldn't dodge so he fired shots at it. The moment the bullets connected with the monster's body, green, disgusting, blood started leaking.

But, the monster didn't seem affected at all. In fact, those bullets only made it even more enraged as it waited for Markus to land.

"Hahahahahaha! Goodbye, fool! May you rot in hell!" Trevor yelled happily.

"RAAA!!!"

Eventually, Markus landed inside the monster's mouth. His arms instantly grabbed into the inner walls of the creature as he used his strength to keep his mouth open.

"AGH!!" His teeth clenched tightly as he resisted the crushing pressure of the monster's mouth. However, he knew he can't last long.

But, no matter how much he tried to wriggle his way out and no matter how much he fired at the monster, the latter didn't stop. He was completely trapped.

A few long minutes passed before Markus' strength finally slipped and he found himself falling down to the acid pool beneath him.

'I guess… This is the end… Sorry, Eva, Meli… Selina… I didn't do it…' He thought as he closed his eyes, the feeling of the boiling liquid finally reaching his skin.

'Please, don't feel sad… Live your lives to the fullest…'

Eventually, his body hit the acid as it errupted everywhere, burning his skin and his muscles rapidly. His face scrunched with pain but he didn't groan nor yell. He had fully accepted his death as much as it felt bitter.

However, at that second, out of nowhere, the plant suddenly shook violently before a huge hole appeared in its stomach. Acid started spilling out violently, carrying Markus outside along with it.

The latter, who still had a nudge of consciousness, looked around him in disbelief. What happened? He thought.

As he was about to land on the ground, he felt the impact lessening slightly as a cold voice spoke to him.

"The King of Plants is only weak to fire, Mr Markus. You should've already known that." Kai said as he approached the man that was in a horrible state and touched his forehead.

Immediately, all of his burns and injuries dissapeared as if they were never there in the first place. Then, under Markus' widened eyes, Kai stood up again and glanced at Trevor who had the same dumbfounded expression. Since he was wearing his mask, neither of the two could see his expression.

"W-Who are you?!" Trevor yelled loudly as he felt himself gulp down a mouthful of saliva.

Just from pure presence alone, Trevor was totally convinced that this mysterious person in front of him was the strongest he ever met. His aura was deadly sharp as if countless blades were pointed at every cell of his body.

"..."

"I said who are you?! Didn't you hear me?!"

"Providing information to a dead person is akin to filling a bucket that has a hole in it with water. It's pointless. And you, Mr. Trevor, are a dead person."
