Chapter 42 - Failed Magic, And Attack



Lawrend exclaimed to himself. He clenched his fists and felt the power of magic coursing through his body.

"So this is the effect of magic…"

Lawrend finally understood that magic actually changes his body. It evolves his body to become better. Lawrend couldn\'t remember anything like that from the memories that he got. It was something unique to magic.

"I should test the Shock Arc spell."

Lawrend closed his eyes once more. He inhaled a mouthful of air before exhaling it. He relaxed his body as the anticipation of the new power of the spell grew inside him. The curtain covering the back of the carriage was not hanging down, so Lawrend didn\'t have to worry about hitting it with his magic.

"O\' great, Amber, be my electron and shock my enemies, Shock Arc!"

Lawrend watched as the violet lightning mana inside his body froze before rushing explosively towards his outstretched right hand. It was different from before. It was faster and felt more powerful.

But just as it was about to burst out of his hand, it bounced back as if it hit a solid rubber barrier. The violet lightning mana in his hand had nowhere to go. In an anticlimactic way, the lightning mana started to flow back into his hand before circulating inside his body once more.

"It failed?"

Lawrend opened his eyes in confusion. He thought that it would be much stronger than before, but it actually failed. It didn\'t even have the opportunity to leave his hand.

"O\' great, Amber, be my electron and shock my enemies, Shock Arc!"

Lawrend tried once again, but the same thing just happened. The lightning mana inside his body was hitting some sort of barrier. It was like there was not enough force for it to break through that barrier.

"Aghh! This is so confusing!"

Lawrend clawed at his hair in frustration. He couldn\'t explain what happened, all he did was purify his lightning mana, and this happened.

"Forget it! I\'ll ask a Mage in Sheron Port City."

Lawrend knew that there were strong mages inside Sheron Port City. Lawrend could be barely considered a Beginner Mage, while there are also more powerful levels of mages above him. That includes the Mages. They were powerful enough to hold combat against a group without faltering.

Similar to what happened before when Lawrend couldn\'t fight head-on against the goblins from before. Only when he could do so would he be able to be considered a full-fledged mage.

Lawrend could only hope that the Mages in the city could answer his questions.

Just as Lawrend was putting down the curtain at the back of the carriage, he saw a cloud of dust slowly approaching them from afar.

"What is that?"

Lawrend squinted his eyes and saw a brown horse galloping towards them. There was a black-cloaked figure sitting on its back. In his worry, Lawrend decided to tell Aleshia.

"Aleshia! There\'s someone behind us!"

Lawrend shouted to her. Aleshia opened the curtain to the carriage and looked inside. Through the open back of the carriage, she could see someone moving towards them rapidly.

"Oh no!"

Aleshia immediately knew what was going on. Someone was here to attack them! Her only guess would be that the Blood Flower Assassin Organization has sent someone to kill Lawrend.

"Young Master, hide!"

Aleshia shouted towards the back. Lawrend didn\'t need to think much deeper to know that it was an assassin. The memories that he got were warning him that this could get dangerous. So he hid under the carriage seat without any care if it was dusty or not.

Aleshia continued driving the carriage as if she didn\'t notice anything. The horse got nearer and nearer to the point that Lawrend could hear the heavy sounds of the horse\'s hooves.

The cloaked figure on the horse moved near them and kept pace with the carriage. The cloaked figure glanced at Aleshia before slowing down a little bit and jumping onto the carriage.

BAM

The cloaked figure broke the fragile roof of the carriage. It looked around the carriage and spotted Lawrend hiding under the seat.

Aleshia immediately stopped the carriage. After all, there was no point anymore in pretending that they didn\'t know.

The sudden stop of the carriage imbalanced the cloaked figure causing it to fall forward to Aleshia.

With swift motions, Aleshia grabbed it by the collar and pulled her dagger with her other hand. She placed the edge of the dagger on its neck.

"Who are you!?"

Aleshia shouted fiercely. She was like a wild tigress roaring at its prey.

"Fufufu, as expected of Shiana."

A familiar voice of a woman sounded out. Aleshia couldn\'t mistake who this was. She was the same woman Aleshia talked to at the Lanika Branch of the Blood Flower Assassin Organization.

"Hereth!? What are you doing here?"

Aleshia pulled down the hood, and she didn\'t guess wrong. It was the same woman that she has interacted with a lot since she started her assassin job.

"I should be the one asking you that. You are not killing your target. You\'re a disgrace to us assassins!"

Hereth screamed at Aleshia violently. There was anger and hate visible inside her eyes.

"What do you mean?"

Aleshia asked her in a grave voice. Somehow, this Hereth in front of her feels different from the Hereth that she knew. She was more violent, and there was hate overflowing from her eyes. But, on the other hand, the Hereth that she knew was kind and likes to tease her.

"I\'ll kill him for you!"

Hereth shouted at her. Aleshia was taken aback by her words.

"I didn\'t do anything wrong! What are you doing here trying to steal my target from me?!"

Aleshia answered back at her. She was not gonna let her kill Lawrend. She already felt very guilty about what she did to him. She\'s not gonna let him die just like that. Plus, she still had the blood contract with him. So if he dies, she will die with him.
