The Author's POV

Chapter 801

'I hope he saw the message.'

Reminding myself of a certain demon with pink hair, I shook my head. My preparations were almost done.

All I needed were the conditions.

"Huuuh."

I looked around me while taking a deep breath.

The silence was deafening.

It was the only thing that filled the air. No sound of cars passing by or people chatting in the distance.

It was just me, standing there in the middle of an empty street.

I looked around, taking in the desolate landscape. The buildings were empty, and the only thing the occasional sound of a cart moving would reach my ears. It probably came from the little people that chose to remain back on Earth.

While there weren't many, their numbers weren't little.

Chirp! Chirp!

"I guess I'm not entirely alone."

I bitterly smiled at the thought. Apart from the few people that chose to remain, the animals were still here.

"You look pitiful."

A sudden voice brought me out of my thoughts, and when I turned my head, I was startled to see a familiar figure that bore a striking resemblance to myself, standing in the middle of the road.

His gaze indifferently fell on me.

"Why are you wondering aimlessly like that?"

"I was just looking at my surroundings."

I made up an excuse on the spot. To be honest, I actually was wandering around aimlessly, but I didn't want to admit it.

Not to him, at least.

"Should you be looking at your surroundings given the situation that you're in?"

"…No."

I shook my head.

Given that I only had half a year, and I wasn't even close to Jezebeth's level, I probably shouldn't have been roaming around the streets like I was doing now.

"You think you can beat Jezebeth with your current mentality?"

"Why are you grilling me all of a sudden?"

From the moment he appeared, he started asking me question after question. What was he doing? When did he suddenly start to care?

"Shouldn't you be hiding in some corner, muttering how you want to die and that I'm stopping you from doing that?"

I glanced at his hands and feet, which were no longer bound by chains.

"Let me tell you this, I am no longer stopping you from achieving what you wanted to achieve. Do whatever you want."
