Abyss was focused on fishing He quietly said that he was also exhausted Just like Abyss, Riley was holding onto a fishing rod Puzzled by what Abyss had just said, Riley turned around to look at hiht"

Abyss flicked the fishing rod and said,

"You killedexceptional? Despite having a feeble huht… I am astonished"

In Abyss’s past life, Riley hadn’t just cornered him In the end, Riley had made it so Abyss wouldabout the Brave Hero he had fought in his past life, Abyss shook his head and went to the main point

"Anyway… It does not matter if you were the one who killedwith someone who can understand me That’s all"

In his eyes, it looked like Abyss really didn’t have any intention of fighting Riley Also, unlike his past life, Abyss looked like he was not interested in killing humans either The look on Riley’s face said that somehow he felt like he could understand Abyss Riley mumbled,

"A Deo fishing with the Brave Hero? If the demon bastards that I had cut down in , I think they would faint fro the waterline on the lake He had a hollow laughter

"Haha I’m sure they would"

"You told Andal ‘the oldest friend’ What was that about?"

"I referred to you as such because I thought we had become close in a way In our past life, at the very end, we became pretty close, didn’t we?"

"What a load of bullcrap…"

"Haha It turns out there is a saying like this aht…"

"…"

"The so-called friendship of the huer and stronger through bickering… Alanced at Riley’s face and asked carefully if what he was saying was incorrect Riley’s face looked like he was getting a headache Riley wasthe temples of his head

"You used to be a dee too? If this was your past life, you would have never said such things"

"I aed Perhaps I didn’t change Still…I think I have not changed ed a lot"

Abyss snickered and said Riley was the one who had changed ht about the conversation he had when he had been fighting the De concern for the Brave Hero? Oh my, this is ridiculous The fact that a Demon Lord is kinder than the Priestess… I wonder who should I bring this up to?’

‘Did you say I am kind?’

‘Ahah… If I knew about this sooner, I would have sided with you instead Nobody would have tried to trip azes either’

‘In that case, why don’t you side with me now?’

It was not exactly just before Riley’s death The conversation had taken place just before his battle against the De about the conversation, Riley had a bitter look on his face He started to laugh but it was hollow

"In the past, you were the Brave Hero who could not go a day without swinging his sword Now, I have been hearing that you are living in a Count’s Fa the pinnacle of laziness Honestly… it was hard to believe"

Having heard Abyss, Riley thought about his second life in this world, starting from the moment of his reincarnation and up to this verythat what Abyss had said was plausible Riley showed a hollow look on his face

"Now that you edat Riley’s face fro He then explained his impression of Riley

"Compared to the past, you see you look well in comparison to your past life"

It see his eyes, Abyss pulled the fishing rod He saw a tiny fish hanging on the hook Disappointed, he clicked his tongue

"H in the air while hanging froaze, Abyss freed the fish from a distance and released it into the water

Splash

The tiny fish looked as if it had been grabbed by so invisible It was pulled from the hook, released, and floated in the air It was set free and returned to the lake

"You are letting it live?"

"I learned to save the little ones"

"Froht that Deed a lot in comparison to their past life He casually asked where Abyss had learned this

"I learned it froht Abyss was going to babble on about the order of nature or what not Instead, Abyss said he learned it fro this He put a questionwith the children of Ansyrium ere left behind With your senses, I’ the way… By any chance… did you not see theed appearances ere peeking out of a ruined building Riley said,

"I did see the about After this city named Ansyrium was destroyed by Epidemic, the humans called adults abandoned the left"

Abyss checked the fishing hook He then started fishing again Abyss started to explain about the children ere left behind

"I’ardless of who I am inside, still, my exterior is similar to these children Perhaps it would be correct to say I have been protecting them On a side note, Epide for is one of those children"

With a look of disbelief, Riley stared at Abyss However, it seemed that Abyss did not really hto not har to help these children occurred to me because of you In the past life, I had seen you desperately trying to save children"

Protect the huh, he was actually living with theaze, Riley looked at Abyss Riley demanded that Abyss should cut the lies and tell him the truth

"Do you realize as the one that toyed with the lives of those innocent children who knew nothing… After all this ti with them?"

In his past life, the children who had been tempted by the demon… ca tears of blood Riley rerip

‘Mister… I have a favor to ask Can I please ask you this one thing?’

‘I am sorry, but a request from a monster…’

‘We are not monsters’

‘Mister, we are not monsters, really’

‘Hk… Mommy… I want to see mommy’

‘Kill us’

‘Mister It hurts so much We are in pain’
