Chapter 8: Chapter 8
How long was it?
Standing in the middle of the street with his new gigantic figure, Issei could only fathom the anger his mother would probably have when seeing him.
What was he going to say?
"Hey Mom, I just went into Narnia and came back a little bit taller and much buffer. Don't mind it though, I'm still your little boy."
Yeah, like that would work... Wait, Issei had a plan. Maybe he could crouch a little bit to make himself a little smaller. No... that would just make him look more awkward.
There was only one thing he could do... He needed to walk into the house and immediately run straight to his room while saying that his day went well.
Before he could do anything... He felt something coming towards him. Backing up, Issei narrowly missed a light spear that was blazing straight towards his chest.
"Oh..." Turning his head towards the source of the spear, Issei was confused to see a blue-haired, curvy woman with black-feathered wings in the sky. She wore a magenta-colored robe that covered her body and truly showcased her curves.
"I thought Raynare had killed you... nevertheless, she could never do something right." Widening his eyes, that name was that woman's name.

--------------------------------------
She wasn't strong... add in the de-buff of her being lower leveled than him... this was going to be a slaughter, even if Issei wasn't a good fighter.
"So... You plan on killing me as well..." Issei frowned... No explanation, no reasoning, all because he should have been dead. No remorse...
"Of course... Lowly humans like you are insignificant... You should be honored that someone of my caliber is choosing to even interact with you."
"Your caliber? What? Prostitution on the streets ready to be in anyone's sheets?"
Kalawarner glared at Issei, "How dare you-"
"Like seriously... look at what you're wearing? You're wearing some old clothing that could have been sewed by collecting things from the street, you look like an actress straight from a gang bang scene and yet here you are in front of me saying you're a caliber above me."
"Why you little-"
"Can't call me little when you're not even up to my chin..."
The Fallen Angel had enough and rushed straight at Issei in rage, forming a light spear in hand, she went for a vertical swipe to end Issei. What she didn't expect was for Issei to grab his Great Sword out from his inventory and activate Lion's Claw.
Jumping straight into the air and spinning with his sword in hand, building up momentum with the swing, Issei met with the light spear faster than the Fallen Angel could react and slammed the swing straight into her, piercing straight through the light spear and cutting off the Fallen Angel's right arm and the lower half of her right leg. Issei's strength was just on a whole different level...
"Oh... That was... Anti-climactic..." With just that blow, Issei dealt more than half of the Fallen Angel's health in just a single blow. "So... what will you do now?"
Screaming in pain and backing away upon instinct, the Fallen Angel looked down upon her situation while looking back up at Issei in fear. Upon further inspecting him up close... She saw the features. The slightly shiny skin, the muscular frame, the gigantic sword... there was no way that this human was normal. Looking down at her missing arm and leg... she didn't know what to do. Luckily, Issei had missed her wings... However, there was no guarantee that she could even escape in time...
"Wait..." Issei didn't, grabbing her by the face and slamming her pretty little face into the ground, shattering the sidewalk and causing for the area to shake from his strength, Issei wasn't going to show any mercy.
"PLEASE WAIT! I'LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT BITCH! I WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING... I KNOW YOU WANT REVENGE... I KNOW YOU WANT TO KILL HER... PLEASE..."
Hearing her pleas... Issei was beginning to think... Should he trust this woman? She was going to kill him... however, this was the only lead that he would potentially have on that woman. "Alright..."
"SHE'S IN THE ABANDONED CHURCH! ALL HER MEMBERS ARE THERE... JUST DON'T KILL ME PLEASE!" The Fallen Angel began crying...
'Oh... they do show emotions...' Issei looked down at the woman with a glare while she began whimpering and continued crying. "Now... What to do with you?"
Grabbing his sword and raising it high into the sky, he was just going to kill her off.
"PLEASE DON'T! I'LL DO ANYTHING! I'LL EVEN BECOME YOUR SLAVE!"
Hearing the pleas... It angered him. If he were the one begging... This woman wouldn't even care about helping him... She was here to kill him, showing no remorse to whatever would happen to him. She was just like that woman... It angered him. Clenching his teeth and glaring at her, it disgusted her that she thought that she could get away scotch free. "You disgust me..." Those words had told the Fallen Angel all that she needed to be told. Widening her eyes and knowing that her end was coming, she formed a light spear and threw straight at Issei, who upon watching her attack him remained unfazed. Tanking the hit, his health pool was reduced by next to nothing amount, Issei continued looking down at her.
"This is impossible... I never saw the day that I would die... come so soon." Kalawarner could only drop to her knees while waiting for her death. "Please... show mercy..."
Holding his Great Sword, Issei slammed the weapon straight into the woman without any further thought... Hearing her screams die out, Issei would remove his weapon and walk away. There was no need to feel remorse for what he did... Because what he did was only justice...

Achievement Unlocked: Killing your first Fallen Angel
Reward: Level Up x 1
+15 bronze coins
-------------------------------
Seeing the bronze coins, Issei simply decided that he would keep some for spare. He needed to make sure that he had some to buy health potions during a brutal fight. He did not want to die without getting his revenge.
Walking towards his house, Issei could only dread the fact that he was still far weaker than all the devils in the proximity. He needed to grind... He needed to fight in the dungeon for multiple days... It didn't matter how long it would take to level up, he needed to make sure his stats would be able to somewhat cancel out the level discrepancy.
Making it to his house, just the sight of the old thing made Issei smile in appreciation. Walking up to the front door, Issei could hesitate. Was he really going to take this risk? He needed to walk straight towards the stairs... He didn't want his mother or father to know that he was a part of the supernatural world. He didn't want them to know that the supernatural world existed. Sighing and nodding to himself, Issei was ready to pull off his plan. Entering the house with louder thuds from his footsteps, Issei dashed towards the stairs in his house.
"Issei honey, is that you!" His mother's angelic voice echoed through the kitchen. His father was out at his job, so he didn't need to worry about encountering his father.
"Yeah mom! But I don't have time to talk, I need to play some games with my friends." Using this excuse, Issei quickly ran up the stairs and made it to his room.
The reason why this works was because... Issei would frequently play games with his friends during this time... Perfect excuse equals the perfect result.
His mother's voice echoed through the house, "Okay honey! Remember, tomorrow you don't have any school... I don't want the same incident to happen like the last few times when you thought there was school on the weekends."
"OKAY MOM!" He screamed from his room...
The weekend was coming near... he just needed time to grind out the dungeon...
