Chapter 103- Useles Talent

"Train you?" Kai asked in confusion.

"Yes, I want to become way stronger. I want to be able to fight anyone that dares to hinder us."

"..."

"I know it's not easy. But, I'm fed up with always ending up a dead weight on your back. This time, I was lucky enough to have you save my life and even then, I was still closer to death than I ever was before. I don't want that to happen again."

Kai's eyes squinted for a second before he looked away. "You're already plenty strong for your age. Your talent is good. In a few years, you might even be able to master your main talent."

"Maybe I am. But, I know that for me to be able to be useful to you, I can't simply wait a few years. I need strength in the shortest period of time possible. Look at what we fought, Kai. That thing shouldn't even exist. What if the world as we know it has more to hide than for the eye to see?"

It was indeed true that their encounter with this giant seawater abomination opened their eyes to a possibility that was too absurd to even fully grasp. If a creature like that existed, then did that mean that their world had a similar kind of abomination hiding in the darkness of the sea or the abyss of forests and desserts.

In all of its history, humanity was only able to discover around 60% of the total landscape in the world and a terrifying 5% of all the seas. So, just imagining what the rest 40% and 95% respectfully have in hiding is a headache of its own.

'Tsk, what kind of mess is this?' Kai could only rub his temple. Luckily, he was able to beat that creature albeit with some difficulty. What if it was simply weak compared to other things lurking around them? What if there was something that even Kai couldn't beat?

"Strength doesn't come with a cheap price. The more power you want, the more sacrifices you will have to make just to get it. Even I can't cut down the sacrifices you will have to make if you really want to break through."

Kai's face frowned slightly as he stared at Eva directly. The latter was surprised at first but quickly turned serious again. She already knew that she had to sacrifice many things to be able to achieve her goal.

"I'm ready to sacrifice whatever it takes to get it."

"What if that sacrifice is everything you care about?" Kai suddenly asked as his eyes drifted away, looking at the endless expanse of water around them. When he didn't hear an immediate answer, he looked back at Eva and spoke again. "What if that's what it takes to gain power? Will you still do it?"

"... I…"

Eva opened her mouth to answer but found herself speechless. However, before she could even process the question properly, Kai shook his head.

"No, don't answer. It's pointless." After that, he closed his eyes and didn't speak anymore.

Eva also didn't try to say anything else and simply hugged Kai quietly. She knew that there was a hidden meaning behind his question but she didn't know what it was. Did it have some kind of connection with Kai's past? Or maybe he knew something she didn't know of? Both possibilities could be the truth.

'I will think about it once we go back home.' Eva noted in her head.

Time pa.s.sed quietly as the duo kept hugging each other. The sea's quietness and salty smell made it rather calming, especially when there wasn't a giant monster to ruin it.

Eventually, Eva finally calmed down before she pulled away slightly, her face was still close to Kai's as she stared at his visible face with a dazed look.

"I guess I will never be able to pay you back for saving my life multiple times." She said with a rather sad smile.

"You aren't indebted to me. It was my idea from the start to go to the frozen plains. Now, we are in a bad situation."

Although the broken half of the boat they were in was still floating. The other one was close to completely getting submerged underwater.

Kai really had no idea as to what they should do. He was intending to continue the journey of swimming since both of them are capable of crossing tens of kilometers in water. However, with Eva's current condition, he knew she won't be able to exert a lot of power.

But, much to his surprise, Eva seemed to have an idea as she smiled.

"I think I can do something about it." As she said that, she tried to stand up. But, her feet felt wobbly and weak and she almost fell.

But, Kai caught her before she completely tilted back.

"You came back from death a few minutes ago. Don't make sudden movements."

"Ok… Can you please pull that other sinking part out of the water?" She asked.

"Hm?" Kai didn't understand why she wanted that but he still complied and jumped in the water again. Then, he grabbed the other part before he easily lifted it up from underwater as if it was a piece of paper.

For someone who swung a monster tens or even hundreds of times his size as if it was a toy, this piece of the boat was nothing.

"Get it close from the other half. Link them together."

After doing that, Eva used her powers before she touched the two parts with her two hands. Suddenly, a glue-like substance started to appear in her hands. It quickly moved to the gap between the two parts and it quickly stuck to them.

A few moments pa.s.sed as the glue spread all around the two parts, completely linking them together.

"I had this talent for a while now. Thought it might come in handy in the future even though it's mostly useless in every other case."

"..."

"Hehehe, are you surprised? I also have my fair share of weird talents that n.o.body uses." Eva chuckled mischievously.

Kai didn't answer as he simply jumped back on the boat. "How strong is this glue?"

"Strong enough to continue the journey. But, it won't for a very long time." She said.

"If we reach the frozen plains, we can find another way of going back," Kai said.

Kai nodded his head before he touched the steering wheel of the boat. Then, he closed his eyes and infused it with Origin. The reason for that was that he wanted to connect all the severed connections between the engine and the other components of the boat. The process required an extremely strong mental strength and a complete understanding of the boat's structure.

That's why Kai had made sure to a.n.a.lyze the whole boat before they departed. He knew that many things could go wrong on a boat in the middle of nowhere so if he needed to fix something he would be able to do it.

After a few seconds, the two heard the engine turning on before the boat started moving again.

"Fufufufu~ We did it!" Eva said with a happy expression.

Their teamwork was fruitful and they were able to continue their journey. However, what the duo didn't know was that the land they were about to set foot in will change the future completely. A discovery that will shake this entire world in the future and turn the tides of every possible party involved.

The wheel of fate's turning accelerated.
