Chapter 106- The Frozen Plains (Part 3)

Ignoring the fact that her body was completely covered in blood as if she was dipped in a pool made out of it, she had countless small and big cuts on her body. Her left arm was completely broken and she had a huge, disgusting injury on her chest that was seemingly the result of a claw attack.

Her face also had countless cuts and bruises. She was simply in a terrifying condition. Even Kai, who didn't mind gore and blood, could only frown looking at her. What did she go through for her to become like this?

"Why did she… Huh?" Eva was still trying to understand the situation.

However, Kai didn't reply as he immediately rested his hand on her chest before he channeled his Origin. Instantly, Kaya's injuries started healing at an extremely fast speed. Her major cuts took a few more seconds than the smaller ones to heal but they still closed up all the same.

'Even her organs were ruptured… What the hell happened here?' He thought. Not only was Kaya completely wrecked, it didn't seem to be the work of a human at all.

"Kai… Is she going to survive?" Eva asked with a rather concerned tone.

"She was on the verge of death. But, we luckily reached her on time. I don't even know how she stayed alive this long…" As Kai murmured to himself, his eyes fell on the deflated black ball in front of him.

"No, I guess Kaya used her ability to preserve her body for as long as possible."

"Her ability?"

"Yes, I did some research on her a year ago and I discovered that Kaya's main talent is to summon entities akin to monsters that she can control. She calls them 'Demons' and they are akin to her pets. This one is probably one of her summons."

'What a weird ability…'

"Hah!!" Suddenly, Kaya's motionless body flinched as she heaved in a lungful of air. Her deathly pale face started regaining color. However, she didn't seem to have woken up.

"She's still in a bad condition even after my healing. We need to get her back as soon as possible." Kai said when he felt her breathing start to stabilize and her heart rate regaining some strength to it.

Her extremely uncomfortable expression from the sheer pain also relaxed and when Kai scooped her up gently, her face completely let loose as if she found herself in the most comfortable place in the world.

She instinctively snuggled closer to Kai's chest as she slept soundly.

Eva looked at the woman for a second before she sighed and looked away. She didn't like to see a woman that close to Kai but she knew it wasn't the time for her to act childish when they were in a dangerous territory.

"What kind of thing turned her into that mess? What did she see?" Eva asked.

"I do not know. But, it's certainly not the work of a human. Whatever she fought is something that is capable of beating an archangel to death. Besides, her whole team is gone."

'Did they meet something like that monster I killed in the sea? But, where are these things coming from? Why do they even exist?'

As the two were about to walk out of the place. Kai suddenly heard a small noise coming from behind him. It was faint, almost inaudible if it wasn't for Kai's extremely sharp senses, however, that simple noise made his whole body tense up as he instantly used Origin.

A huge ice wall appeared behind him and Eva in an instant just right before it happened.

*BOOOOOOOOM*

A huge explosion shook the whole cave sending both Kai and Eva back from sheer strength. The ice wall instantly cracked as a weird white object pierced it and flew right toward Kai.

"What the hell?!" Eva yelled in shock as she looked behind. Everything happened in a split second.

"Catch her!!" Kai didn't wait at all as he sprang into action.

The latter quickly threw Kaya to Eva who caught her successfully. Then, before the white object hit him, he put his hands in front of him to guard against the attack.

*BANG*

Upon contact, Kai found himself flying back in the air as he tried to resist the intense power of the white object.

'Huh… webs?' Realizing that this white rope-like thing was actually spiderwebs merged into one thick rope. However, feeling the extremely sharp edge and the impressively robust nature of it, Kai could only question what kind of material this web was made out of.

'Now isn't the time for such thoughts…' Clicking his tongue he quickly wrapped his arms around the white rope before he used his strength to snap it.

It took some effort but it did indeed succeed.

*CRACK*

Landing on the ground as he glided a few meters back. Kai looked at the broken piece he took with him before he threw it away.

"Kai!!"

"Get Kaya and leave, now." He said in a sharp and cold tone as he glared at the dark interior of the cave. "Get as far away as possible. I will follow after you."

Eva knew that Kai wasn't asking her to do so… He was ordering her and she understood that he wasn't doing it out of arrogance. No, it was because he assessed that whatever attacked him now wasn't something Eva could handle with Kaya in her hands. Not to mention the fragile state of the blond woman.

"Ok! Please, be careful."

"Once again, a bunch of lesser humans disturbs my rest. What manner of disrespect is this?" A hoarse, disgusting voice spoke suddenly making the duo frown.

Neither of them expected to hear a voice coming from within the cave. A second later, the two heard the sound of small steps approaching them in a rather slow manner.

"However, this queen is quite surprised. A member of your race actually managed to thwart my ambush. Quite impressive for a human indeed." The voice was certainly inhuman and yet it still sounded way worse than any animalistic sounds the two had ever heard in their lives. It even exceeded the abomination they fought in the deep sea.

Kai's eyes turned sharply cold as he rested his hand on his sword.

A moment later, the creature revealed itself, and again, the duo was quite taken aback. If this creature's voice was akin to scratching a board with sharp nails, then its appearance was akin to breaking that board on your head.

It was the most disgusting, nightmarish creature the two had seen, far worse than even that huge octopus.

If Kai had to describe it, it looked like half a human, half a spider with the lower part being that of the spider. It had 8 disgusting legs and a huge belly at the back of its body.

A weird substance was leaking out of its dark, purplish skin that was akin to acid. The moment it made contact with the stone floor, it immediately starts boiling and penetrating it.

Ironically enough, its human part was even more disgusting than the spider part. It had 6 arms, three on each side, and had a weird, distorted female face with 6 eyes and a slitted mouth that reached where its ears should've existed.

However, that wasn't what made Kai's aura flare.

'This monster is strong…' He immediately felt it from its aura.

Now, he finally understood why Kaya was turned into that state. No, it was actually a miracle that she wasn't killed.

"Indeed, extracting the innards of those humans provided the sustenance required by this queen. Nevertheless, I will no longer tolerate further insolence from you."? With a wide, distorted smile that could be the worst nightmare fuel, the creature said arrogantly.
