Chapter 731: Severing Ties-II

Beelzebub watched Esther as she fell asleep. He pushed himself then from the bed, making his way out of the room without waking Esther. As she was tired, she wasn't able to notice the disappearance of Beelzebub from her bed.

He left the house, stopping when he saw the elderly woman who seemed to have spent all her time sitting in front of the house, staring at the sky above the abyss longingly.

"You are waiting for someone, aren't you?" Beelzebub started the conversation. The elderly woman didn't reply as a respond to the tacit confirmation.

"How could a soul stay here? Did you also escape the abyss's clutches?" Beelzebub asked again. He could tell by the first time he had seen the elderly woman that she wasn't a demoness. If she was, she wouldn't be here, hiding in the abyss which was avoided by many demons due to its terrible solitary condition.
