"Ah?"

In that split second, Kabal, as only looking at the barrier being split in half in front of hiaze

‘What is this?’

He eventually realized that the round was his With look of disbelief, he turned his gaze to the front

‘Why is entle breeze tickled his face He finally realized the situation he was in He held his shoulder, where his arm had been – which was cleanly cut off – and started to take a step back

"Kuuuuk!"

As he stepped back, Kabal stared beyond the barrier had just been split in half There, he found Riley as holding a sword Kabal had no idea when had Riley gotten up and drawn his sword Kabal gritted his teeth

"As I thought, you were…"

Riley was holding the sword in his right hand With the arm fully extended to the back, he had taken a standby stance Facing Riley, Kabal exuded the purple light energy and started to swing the hammer in his left hand

"You were the bastard!"

As if soed at Riley like a beast Nainiae, as vacantly staring at Riley, showed a concerned look on her face for a brief moment However, it was a baseless concern

"Uuuk?!"

Only aheld in Nainiae’s ar the hammer that Kabal slammed down Nainiae watched this happen in front of her

"Kuk! Petty tricks!"

Watching Riley quickly closing the distance and deflecting his own hale of the ha to send Riley flying

‘Young Master’

Watching Riley parry the strike again by pushing the pole portion of the hah Kabal was ht was definitely not sonored Despite this, Riley only maintained emotionless face as he moved his sword and deflected Kabal’s attacks

It was as if he was testing so the fro with Kabal, as if Riley was toying with him

"You little!"

It looked like Kabal almost had hi Kabal’s attacks Infuriated by Riley’s belittling et had changed

‘The ground?’

Nainiae realized Kabal was about to s about a quake She hesitated as she thought whether or not she should prepare herof hah above, the haround However, the hale

To be precise, Kabal’s body had become stiff

Because of the deadly aura that Riley exuded, his entire body was not budging at all as if it becaain?’

With his body i but move his eyeballs to chase the culprit responsible for his current state

‘So to use his strength to shake off the deadly aura that was suppressing his body It see, slowly started to ain Watching Kabal, Riley snorted

"That’s right It’s done"

"…?"

‘Done? What’s done?’

Kabal’s consciousness ended there

"…"

Next to Kabal’s right arm that had been cut off earlier, Kabal’s head, which still had confused expression on the face, fell After that, his body, and then his haht…"

Riley tossed the sword on top of the corpse and muttered The voice was unlike before It felt like his heart had becohter

"… It’s such a bother"

Afterwards, he turned to look at Nainiae Seeing the look on Riley’s face, it seemed she felt relieved at last She relaxed the anxious look on her face and put on a faint s finished off Kabal, Riley walked to Nainiae, stared right at her face and said,

"I think I need to hear a few things fro to ask about the advice Nainiae gave earlier about the things that troubled Riley As if he had things he wanted to hear from Nainiae that were unrelated to those, the expression on Riley’s face changed to refreshed look He moved his hand toward Nainiae’s white cheek

"… Ah"

"…"

Feeling Riley’s hand gently holding her own cheek and creating a sweet mood, Nainiae blushed out of e

"Uuuuu?"

Her blushing cheek was stretched out likethe skin on her cheek being pulled, Nainiae cringed her eyes She started to struggle It looked like she was begging him to stop

"What happened? How come you know about it?"

Riley had asked how Nainiae knew about his past life

"T… That is… That is!"

It seeo of the cheek first Nainiae was struggling with tears in her eyes Riley brought his face close to Nainiae and sive straight answers

To prevent what happened at Solia, the last ti, Nainiae put away Kabal’s dead body in the dianized the crater in the area as she told Riley about the things that had happened so far

"… You received them in the dream?"

"Yes A woman in black… She said she was the Goddess of the world that you used to live in your past life I met her in the dream I received theheard the explanation about what happened in the drea this, Nainiae carefully asked,

"By any chance… have you met her before?"

She asked because she orried about Riley However, because the Goddess’ face was very siht hate her because of it That’s why she asked

"No I resented her, but I had never met her"

"Is that so?"

"I wish I could see her face just to see what she looks like What an ungrateful bitch…isn’t she? If she took advantage ofto put ain?"

It seeround his teeth and poured out curses at the Goddess in the black dress and they had no way of knohat could have happened to her now While at it, he listened to the rest of the explanation fro as Nainiae explained that the power used in Riley’s past life is creeping into this world and how the Goddess said it would be best to handle the situation quickly Nainiae also mentioned what the Goddess said about the Holy Sword

"As I thought, there is so to the ‘World Below’ that Ian orried about, but it was that I see"
