Chapter 452

Their lips parted, they were so close that they could each other's breath. Miriam gently smiled and gave him a peck.

Everything was fine as long as Kyle was next to her.

Still...

"Looks like we failed."

Kyle had a disappointed expression. He sighed and shook his head.

"We won the battle against Satan and killed him. However, when we return, the sky is still dark."

He muttered. He was hoping that something would change once they returned.

"It's okay."

Miriam comforted him as she stroked his cheek.

"You killed a Demon Lord, and I believe you can do it again."

She encouraged him.

Kyle shrugged and hugged her. He did not know how to reply.

He understood that he was not the main character. Mikael Tibano was the one who killed Satan.

'He fought two Demon Lords and he killed one and escaped the other. He is the one who can do it. Not me.'

Kyle already accepted it. That even a Regressor like him would never be the main character. He would be the side character at best.

Indeed, they killed the Demon Lord of Wrath but the dark sky was still looming over. Furthermore, Kyle understood that the Demons would make a counterattack.

'They are going to attack the Earth and we have to be prepared. It seems that I will not have a vacation rest.'

He wanted to spend his time with his family but fate was playing with him.

"We have to prepare."

"I know."

Miriam nodded. They parted and walked towards the stage, however, someone stopped them.

"You don't have to worry about it."

Princess Belle greeted them. She looked calm and elegant. It was amazing to see a calm person like her despite the current situation. It appeared that she was not afraid at all.

"... I assume you know what you're saying, right?"

Kyle raised his brow.

'This woman elevated Mikael's status earlier. She said that Mikael was the one who killed Satan. Well, it is true, but I feel like she has hidden motives...'

Kyle narrowed his eyes as he stared at her. Princess Belle did not budge despite the pressure that Kyle was releasing.

She faced someone who had a stronger aura than him.

'Mikael is far stronger than you.'

She smirked and Kyle felt insulted.

"So, Princess of Elves, I assume you have a plan."

He raised his voice to show that his position was higher than hers. Yet, it did not affect the woman.

Kyle realized that his threat was not working.

"We know someone who can fix this problem."

"Hoh? And who is it then?"

Princess Belle gestured for the Elves to bring someone.

"You..."

Both Kyle and Miriam were surprised when they saw him. Miriam even cried when she found him.

"... Kyle."

Christian appeared with a stiff smile. He looked weak and tired. He was thin and his eyebags were so big that he looked haggard and depressed.

"Christian."

Miriam approached him and tried to hug him but Christian instinctively moved away.

"No, don't touch me!"

He said with a hint of fright. He was afraid of being touched. His body trembled as he tried his best to stand. Even a simple touch made him afraid.

"I- I'm sorry about that..."

He tried to hide his weakness by smiling, he was embarrassed about his current situation.

Miriam began sobbing when she realized that Christian was deeply broken. This was not the Christian that they knew.

He was traumatized.

"It's good that I have experience with torture so I can still move around, but Colt..."

Christian sighed. Colt Rothschild did not have any experience regarding torture. His younger brother was much worse than him.

"I know that you're trying to close the portals and break the black veil that is covering the planet. You don't have to think of it anymore."

Christian began speaking of what he knew.

"My family is related to Demons. They made a pact with them in exchange for status and wealth. Our family's job is to set up portals all around the world. Once the Demons begin invading the planet, the portals will take effect."

"You mean..."

"Yes, my family made a pact with the Demon Lord of Wrath."

Christian confirmed it. He just recently found it. He realized that his family was connected to the Demons. That's why he visited his parents, and that's when the Demons abducted them.

His parents did not survive the torture but Christian and Colt withstand it. Sadly, it was obvious that they were traumatized.

Especially now.

Christian frowned as he touched his head. There was a horn on his forehead. He was undergoing treatment because he was injected with the cure for Corruption.

"Ugh..."

"Christian, you don't have to force yourself."

Miriam said. She was worried. She treated Christian as part of the family. She lost Niña, and she almost lost Kyle. It would be painful to lose another loved one again.

"No, I'm fine."

He tried his best to maintain his focus.

"Now that Satan is dead and Mikael successfully absorbed the Sin of Wrath. Mikael can close the portals at his will."

He said it.

"I see. Then all we can do is wait for him and..."

'And hope that Mikael will not betray us.'

Kyle did not finish his sentence. He was afraid of that possibility. Mikael was their greatest weapon right now.

He clenched his fist.

"Don't worry, he is going to return."

Princess Belle added.

"Why do you think so?"

"Because he is already here."

Just as she said it, a flash of lightning covered the place and a person materialized.

The man was encircled in lightning as he landed on the ground.

Mikael Tibano showed up.

"Hi, guys."

He greeted them as if everything was normal.

The Hunters were dumbfounded when they realized that someone escaped their senses. Mikael successfully reached the place without anyone noticing.

He grinned and looked over their faces. Some were shocked and some were afraid. One thing was for sure, his appearance was a big change.

"I guess I'm not welcome, hehe."

His appearance was that of a Demon so it was understandable.
