Chapter 40: Eva…when we get back.

Eva frowned in confusion when she felt the body heat. 'Aren't ghosts supposed to be cold? I can even feel hot breath on my skin (´･_･`).'

Ethan and Julian dropped the weapons, their expression darkened. Their gaze held murderous intent, as they searched the surroundings for the culprit.

Julian was releasing his powers covertly, but before he could strike—

They froze in fear when Eva slammed her head backwards, disorienting the man holding her for a second for her to twist his hands backwards in a sickening crack.

"Arghh! You bitch!'' his pain fueled his anger as he kicked forward, aiming for her chest.

But Ethan reacted in time, sending an ice dagger toward him. Julian appeared in front of Eva and dragged her out.

He swung his sword forward, getting the man's location by the blood-stained ice dagger.

Severing the man from the waist. The man's eyes flashed with disbelief, his figure turning visible as he died.
