Chapter 76 76: Boring Show
Having just emerged from her existential crisis, Rias looked at Yasuhiro and Akeno with a hint of curiosity.
Both of them were carrying on behind her back.
Just like today, Akeno had arranged to meet with Yasuhiro alone.
If there hadn't been a specific reason for them to come here, Rias would've been kept completely in the dark by her.
It was heartbreaking to think about.
"The power of lightning is inherited from your father. Although it is inherited through bloodline, it has penetrated deep into your soul."
"Even if you are reborn into another race, this fact cannot be changed," Yasuhiro explained.
Rias nodded in understanding.
When Akeno was reincarnated as a devil, the fallen angel bloodline within her remained unchanged.
If Rias knew that her trusted confidante had been reborn as an angel, her expression would probably be complicated.
If the fact that Akeno was reincarnated as an angel were to be revealed, it wouldn't just be a simple matter.
The fact that a devil had an angel as a servant was the most ridiculous joke any supernatural faction would hear this century.
If such a joke became reality, the resulting uproar would shake many clans across the three factions.
What everyone considered impossible had become a reality.
Was there anything more shocking than this?
"Akeno, the holy lightning you are using right now is merely a facade. It doesn't live up to the power that terrified those people during the war."
Rias had vaguely sensed that the lightning Akeno used was much more powerful than the normal lightning she had used before.
So, it was the holy lightning.
Though, it was still far less terrifying than what was recorded in the history of underworld.
Based solely on the fact that she only had a basic understanding of her power of destruction, she was able to fight on par with Akeno's holy lightning.
This situation was probably exactly as Yasuhiro had mentioned.
What Yasuhiro said earlier wasn't an exaggeration or an overly sarcastic statement.
To him, their battle really was no different from a boring show.
The dazzling display might have seemed impressive to an ordinary audience.
The battle between the two of them was filled with seemingly powerful displays of force but behind the spectacle lay only an empty space that lacked any real substance.
Akeno felt wronged and wanted to argue back but she didn't know how to start.
Could she really admit that she couldn't wait to show off like a child and invite Yasuhiro because she had made some minor progress in holy lightning?
Even she would find it difficult to utter such embarrassing words.
She regretted it right after inviting Yasuhiro.
As the instigator and creator of the brave saint cards, how could Yasuhiro not know about Akeno's situation?
One of the brave saint cards concealed a source of his power, which was why Akeno transformed into an angel with unique characteristics.
As this light power slowly merged with her, she would naturally gravitate closer to the source of that power, which was Yasuhiro himself.
"Alright, let's finish repairing the area first," Yasuhiro said.
Seeing the aggrieved look in Akeno's eyes, Yasuhiro slowly swallowed the rest of the words he was about to say.
After all, the previous reprimand of Rias was driven entirely by his own personal emotions.
In a sense, Akeno was his only true kin in this world for the time being.
A new faction consisting of only two people seemed to mark the beginning of a brand new myth.
