The afternoon air was windy, looking at the same park where I was stabbed yesterday, nothing seemed to have changed, but still, everything felt different.
Contrary to the lonely atmosphere, the park was filled with a large number of small toddlers playing in mud while their moms were probably laughing at some old household jokes.
"Damn, why are my shoulders trembling, at worst I will die again!"
Giving myself some self-motivation, I regained my demeanour.
Finally, it was 12 p.m.
Perhaps my sixth sense had gotten stronger, on a whim, I lifted my head and saw her.
With a steady walk, she was heading towards me, her blood red eyes were proof that she was the same girl.
She was dressed even prettier than the day before, those who didn't know her real identity would definitely have been swayed by her otherworldly charm.
An equally distinguished smile was written over Rainaziel's face, she had never failed in killing any of her targets, but this boy was standing here so full of vigour?
"Hmmmmm?"
"How did you manage to escape death?"
Rainaziel's voice was sharp.
I just smiled casually.
"Miss Ito Asuna...or well, should I call you Rainaziel?"
"Is it important?"
With my naked provocation, her self-esteem seemed to have been hurt.
As a supernatural creature wielding ample power over weak humans, this was the first time she was answered back, her inherent arrogance was triggered.
"It doesn't matter!"
"If I can do it once, I can do it again."
"Today, I need to meet someone special, so let me send you to the afterlife again."
With a heavy snort, she chanted something and a magic circle appeared over her right hand.
This was the same chanting scene where she summoned her longsword to pierce me.
"Wait, w-wait beautiful miss, didn't I say I would give you a surprise?"
"You even promised on the phone that no matter what, you won't kill me, remember?"
Hearing my words, Rainaziel's spell stopped midway as her pupils dilated in shock.
"No, no….How can you know all this?"
"A-are you really Z?"
Rainaziel exclaimed, full of surprise.
"Impossible!"
Looking at my ever-smiling face, she almost lost her rationality.
In her astonished gaze, I slowly took out my mobile from my pocket and showed her the messaging app.
After she took my phone, she re-examined it again and again before passing it back to me.
"So Z is your pseudonym on the messaging app."
"So you are the newly awakened Fallen Angel who joined our faction yesterday."
It took some minutes, but she quickly recollected her thoughts.
"Judging by the events, my stabbing of you should be the trigger to your bloodline awakening, therefore, you should be thankful to me."
Rainaziel replied as a matter of fact.
Then her tone became haughty and full of pride,
"Since I am your benefactor, you should provide your service free to me."
Seriously?
This bitch thinks she can procrastinate for free?
Sorry, we are not running a charity here.
Looking at my unfazed and nonchalant expression, she realised she won't get anything for free.
With a glare, she yet again hissed,
"Or this time I shall burn you alive till you are reduced to ashes, then you won't even have a chance to revive."
"Miss, is it good for you to send death threats at every turn?"
"You are a proud Four Winged Fallen Angel and still can't keep your promise, what will others think of you when they learn such a thing?"
"All will say you are a liar, a shameless woman!"
Keeping a straight face, I meticulously started morally kidnapping her.
Suddenly her voice became even sharper,
"Very good!"
"It's been a long time since someone actually dared to threaten me back."
"But you forgot one thing, before you were a mere ant."
"And now you are still an ant but with just a little strength."
"As long as I make sure you disappear, nothing will happen to my reputation."
Rainaziel started laughing like the situation had always been in her control.
I knew it.
These women with a screw loose in their heads can't be trusted…..
But it's okay, that's why I came prepared.
"Your supervisor Mina will be utterly disappointed in you."
Hearing my words, Rainaziel stood there in a daze like she had heard something absurd.
"M-Mina?"
She stuttered, asking again to make sure she hadn't heard wrong.
"Yes, it was Miss Mina, the elegant and virtuous lady who invited me to join the Fallen Angel faction last night."
"She mentioned that I had big potential, I had already told her about our previous grudge."
"Miss Mina just dismissed it expressionlessly saying that was before when I was a human, now that I am a member of the clan, you won't take action against me."
I dexterously mixed black and white.
It was true that Gothic Lolli Mina invited me to the group, but the rest were all blunt lies I told.
Before sleeping, while searching for other members information in the online group, Mina's background status clearly caught my eye-
Mina: Six Winged Fallen Angel (Faction Head of Chazgarh.)
At that time I decided to use her name in case of any dispute. After all, which subordinate will dare to neglect when their supervisor's name is taken?
As for them asking Mina if he was telling the truth, I took a gamble.
Judging from watching various supernatural shows in my past life which showed a vivid senior-junior hierarchy, I bet they wouldn't dare.
With the name of Mina, her expression immediately turned sour.
Rainaziel took a deep breath.
"Interesting..."
"...…I admit you are a crafty ant with a little more strength."
"But trust me, as soon as I get a chance, I will kill you!"
Taking out a dark blue bottle from her blouse, she threw it towards me.
"Here, the advance payment."
In the end, she decided to follow the original arrangement made online.
I hastily caught the potion bottle, the gleaming blue liquid inside radiated a powerful force enough to make my hands shake with exhilaration.
