I'm translating a bit of dialogue (from Japanese to English, in case anyone was wondering) in which Character A is speaking to character B. The two possible translations I came up with are:
"There’s no need to be afraid. Because I will no longer be attacking you anymore.”
and
“There’s no need to be afraid. Because I will be no longer attacking you anymore.”
Despite being a native American-English speaker, I've never formally learned the nuances of my native language, and I'm curious as to what some possible nuances that differentiate the meanings of the two sentences are, when the only thing changed is the placement of the word 'be'.

The use of anymore is redundant. Regardless of the other word order, I would remove that word. (Or, if you keep it, you can drop no longer and say I will not be attacking you anymore.)
