Chapter 521: Knight and God

"You can truly revive the dead?" asked Hurst with a hint of unease as he stared at the back of his hands, clenched into a fist. "This is beyond the realm of humans."

"Indeed," replied Abe as he stared out of the window, his green eyes half crescents. "I left the realm of humans eons ago. I am an immortal, as you know."

His words had a hint of teasing, and Hurst sighed in response. The friend that was nothing but a hate-it-all was now an ancient character with a history as deep as the ocean. It made him a bit uneasy, because how could he trust him like before?

"I want to know why you chose Abe."

"We two are alike, and he was going to die, so I signed a deal with him. Do not misunderstand. Your brother's death was the reason that I managed to save his friend."

"How is a lazy person with no ambitions can be the same as an immortal?" asked Hurst with confusion. Abe turned toward him and grinned, revealing an intrigued expression.
