Chapter 38: A Distant Memory Awakened (1/2)

Aleshia started piling up the unconscious goblins together. This will make it easier for Lawrend to kill them using only one spell.

A few minutes later, the goblins were all lumped together into one big pile.

”Young Master, use your spell.”

Aleshia walked to the side to make way for Lawrend. Lawrend looked at the pile of goblins and chanted his spell without thinking too much into it.

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

Lawrend once again saw the violet electric mana inside him gather into his outstretched hand. It was like a massive dam was unleashed when the spell reached its peak.

BOOOM!!

It was the sound of an explosion that Lawrend has never heard before. The superheated blood of the goblins exploded together, creating a grand explosion that flung their bodies high up into the air.

Lawrend jumped in fright as he was very close to the explosion. His ears started ringing, and he couldn't hear anything. Instead, he watched as blood and various body parts fell from the sky.

”BLEUURGH”

It was so gory that Lawrend immediately puked his guts out. It was his first time seeing something so bloody and disgusting for Lawrend, who had never left the city ever since he was born.

Lawrend looked at the scattered mess all around him. He was shaking all over as he kept turning around and finding more and more disturbing things around him.

”I… I… What have I done?”

Lawrend's eyes were bloodshot and unfocused. He looked at his hands in disbelief. He turned his head to look at Aleshia, who was splattered all over. Then he looked down at his body and saw that his clothes were red all over.

”B-blood… I…”

Lawrend grasped at his own clothes, trying to remove the stains. He kept repeating it as he slowly devolved into madness.

Aleshia watched as Lawrend slowly turned crazy. His eyes were full of disbelief and madness.

”Young Master!”

Aleshia tried to call out to him, but it was useless. Lawrend's ears were still ringing, and his focus was entirely on himself.

”Oh no, oh no, oh no!! What did I do!?”

Lawrend clutched at his own neck. The guilt of killing the goblins hit him. Turning him crazy. They looked just like children, and when their body parts were scattered all around him, it was even more so disturbing to look at.

”Young Master!!”

Aleshia ran towards him and took him into an embrace. Even for an assassin like her, it was hard to see someone devolve into madness right in front of her. As there was an uneasy feeling coming from her heart, she could only take him into her embrace to ease that uneasy feeling.

”I… I killed… I killed people… They are kids…”

Lawrend kept murmuring to himself. He didn't even notice that he was already being pressed hard into Aleshia's chest.
