Chapter 186

Zich thought it didnt really matter to him even if Glen had regressed. He had also previously decided that it didnt seem like Glen was a regressor either, but this time, he thought, Could there be a possibility that he regressed but doesnt know the words he said to me?

Zich racked through his brain. What if he did regress, but not at the same time as me?

He hadnt thought of this; from his experience, he naturally thought that if Glen had regressed, he would have regressed during that last battle like him.

No, wait a moment. I cant just conclude that Glen regressed. Even among his companions, there was somebody who didnt regress but had all kinds of knowledge about the future (although she didnt have most of her memories of course).

Is he the same case as Lyla? That meant Glen Zenard could have a connection with those assassin guys.

Therefore Zichs face hardened.

The assassins were a group who made Demon People in the empire, and before the regression days, the person who killed off the most Demon People was none other than the Sun Hero, Glen Zenard. If those two had any connection with each other, it meant that Glen was a

Imposter. That immediately popped into Zichs head.

What if he made Demon People for fame and honor? Zich crossed his arms and tapped his feet. I am definitely going too far with this one.

Yet, if Zich thought about his experiences, there was no guarantee that there wouldnt be a crazy bastard like that.

Even I go through all kinds of trouble to screw a person over. It would be ridiculous of me to suggest that theres no one in the world who would make Demon People to gain fame and honor.

Zich was someone who could objectively assess himself, but it was too early to reach a conclusion.

There could be a completely different reason.

Glen could be someone like Lyla who ran away from the assassin group. Zich clutched his head at the ever-increasing number of possibilities.

There are way too many possibilities.

If Glen had regressed like Zich, there was a high chance that his regression looked different from Zichs, whether it be timing or something else. If Glen was like Lyla who had information about the future, it was likely that he was connected to the assassins in another way.

If he is connected to the regression, he might even know how to regress.

The reason why Zich hadnt been concerned with the possibility of Glens regression was because he thought Glen would have regressed in the same way as him; in other words, Zich thought Glen would have regressed because of the Key that Distorts Destiny. Yet, if Glen regressed at a completely different time than him, he might have regressed in a different manner.

Then, he might know the reason or method for regressing. He could possibly fulfill one of the reasons why Zich was traveling around the world.

He could also be plotting with the assassins. Zichs eyes turned sharp.

Should I try catching him and beating the truth out of him?

In his Demon Lord days, Zich wouldve immediately done that. However, the current Zich wasnt Zich Moore. Above all, there was a person who didnt want him to become a Demon Lord.

Huh? Is there something going on? After returning from her shopping, Lyla saw Zich and Hans in the garden.

No, its nothing. I will tell you later.

Okay. Lyla nodded lightly and went inside the building. Seeing how she was humming to herself, it seemed like she had a satisfying time shopping.

Well, nothing is definite yet, so I should let things go for now. No, if I think about it again, isnt it actually beneficial for me? Zich smiled.

Whether or not Glen regressed or is connected to the assassins, I have something similar to a clue. If Glen was really someone who made Demon People for fame and glory, Zich had to approach this issue even more cautiously.

If he really made Demon People for his own benefit, that means hes the guy who led me down the Demon Lord path. Then, that meant Zich finally found the person who manipulated his life.

I will have to give him my full treatment then. Far more than anyone he had screwed over until now, Zich would have to pour his heart and soul into this treatment.

Hans, who had taken Estellade out again to train, flinched at Zichs face.

What is Sir Zich thinking again? He had never seen a target of that smile meet a good end, but Hans quickly stopped concerning himself with the matter. It doesnt matter. He wouldnt target an innocent person anyways.

Hans swung Estellade again and focused on his training. He simply felt sympathy for the person in Zichs head.

Zich stopped smiling. The thoughts he was having didnt extend beyond guesses. They had no definite basis or evidence but were simply maybe projections that he made while considering the circumstances.

If someone heard my thoughts, they might laugh at my wild ideas.

At the same time, this was an issue that he could look deeper into.

For now, I should learn more about this guy. Zich took out Windur from his back. It was the sword that had combined with the item that caused his regression: the Key that Distorts Destiny.

This guy and that weird tree also resonated.

Leona had told him that her grandmother might know more about that strange tree. That was why he thought he should go to Leonas hometown to learn more about it.

I have one more reason to go to the elves' forest now.

Zich hung Windur on his back again, and he passed by Hans who was still training. Even as he headed towards the building, Zich continued to think.

If Glen is really a dirty, underhanded guy like that, then the last words he said to me were

Zich could clearly remember Glens face as he told Zich with full confidence to live a kind life if he was reborn. To express his admiration for Glens strength for defeating him, Zich thought about trying to live a kind life in this timeline.

If he really is a hypocrite who ruined my entire life though, how should I accept his last words?

Zich thought Glens words were sincere as a hero, but if Glen was an imposter, his words would be nothing but meaningless blabber.

Then should Ifollow that type of persons advice?

Grab!

Someone tightly clutched onto his sleeves.

Zich!

It was Lyla. It seemed as if she had come back to the lobby after organizing her shopping items, and she was now clutching onto him. Her face was pale as if she had just seen a ghost.

Huh? Whats the matter? Did something happen? Zich asked Lyla, but Lyla scanned his face in a hurry. Zich wriggled his eyebrows.

What What are you doing?

Hwoo! Lyla didnt even reply to Zichs question and let out a sigh.

Hey, how can you let out a sigh after seeing my face? Do you have any complaints about this handsome face of mine? Zich swept his cheek once.

No, its nothing like that.

Zich stared at her suspiciously as she usually would have made sarcastic remarks about his handsome face, but Lyla waved her hand as if it was nothing.

Its really nothing.

All right.

Zich dropped his interest since she didnt seem like she wanted to tell him.

Then Ill go up. Ah, I will tell you about what happened later.

Okay. Its fine if you tell me while were eating.

Zich went up the stairs one by one. Lyla watched his back until he fully disappeared to the top floor, then collapsed into a chair. She lost all strength in her legs. She wrapped her arms around them and trembled from head to toe.

That face.

When Lyla came down to the lobby and saw Zichs face, she thought her heart was going to freeze. His face was in a state of deep thought. It was a familiar face, but it was also not familiar at the same time.

That that face was definitely!

It lasted for a moment. As soon as she grabbed his sleeve, that expression disappeared. However, it was a face that was clearly imprinted in Lylas memory.

The face of Zich Moore.

Even if it was only for a few seconds, why did Zich have the face of a Demon Lord? Lyla buried her face behind her two hands.

Glen and Browning slowly moved away from the hotel. There was a crowd of people surrounding the hotel who all came to see the faces of the citys heroes. While Glen was glancing at them, Browning asked, So how were they?

What do you mean?

Those people called heroes. You met two of them.

They werent bad. I already knew that person named Zich before, and that person named
