Reincarnated as an affinity-less hero, the quest to become the strongest!

Chapter 48: Enemy's Skin

"I'll kill you..."

Those are the words I mindlessly uttered as I unsheathed Boukyaku...

Immediately, I felt a surge of energy in my body as bolts of energy began jolting through my body...

Immense pressure was generated from my body, as the ground under my feet began fissuring from my sheer anger and power elevated to this level...

I had not even given self-control a consideration this time. Just seeing the ugly face of this stupid, worthless, shameless angel, was enough to send me into spirals of anger, while my senses became sharp and my body, ready to act at any second...

I was ready to kill off this piece of filth.

And just as my grasp on Boukyaku tightened, a malicious grin appeared across my face...

...

But contrary to all expectations, the angel rather than readying herself for battle or becoming overconfident in her skills (like every other person we've gone up against, to this point) wiped off that smug and confident expression she had been wearing... and became... flustered...?

I was probably taken aback as much as her, but I didn't show it. Since, in contrast to me, the second she saw my sword being gripped tightly, and me getting ready to attack, she immediately yelled in an idiotic voice:

"Uwah?! What are you doing!?"

The stupid angel's reaction was truly unexpected... I hadn't expected a servant of God, who had dared to defy his orders, to become nervous to this extent... and even flail her arms in desperation just from seeing me ready up...

It seemed a little strange to me...

I mean, that angel had been quite daring at first, despite blushing by Seiichi's hand (though that was pretty common anyways) but seeing her, this nervous? It seemed a little too strange for me...

Besides, weren't her wings white? Why are they black now?

...

My thoughts were racing as I couldn't find an accurate answer to all of the incognitos that currently laid in my mind...

'Just who is this woman...?'

I could tell from physiology, wings, and even voice that she was clearly the angel I had seen once before... but... her mannerisms, attitude, and wing-color were different...

It was as if it was the same body but a different person...?

It was honestly, all very weird...

But, it didn't matter anyway, did it?

This woman was still the angel who had dared to send my life into a spiral of chaos and madness... Sure, some things weren't so bad. But the truth was that without my friends I would likely not be here...

In fact, without the undesired but necessary help of Boukyaku and God...

I know I would be dead...

...

And as such, as we were all standing under the grey, dark, stormy sky...

I could not wait any longer as I pushed apart both, Myria and Scarlet, to make way for myself as I readied myself to attack...

And as I did, I sent a very clear message filled with my killing intent and quite a dreadful intention...

"This is all payback... Hope you know that..."

The angel clearly flinched as a face of horror was what appeared in her expression...

"W-what's g-going o-on?!"
