Chapter 43: Crazed Assassin And Lawrend Makes A Move (1/2)

”Look at you, blinded by love!”

Hereth sneered at Aleshia's face. Her voice had a tinge of mockery in it.

”Love?”

Aleshia immediately became confused by her words. There was not a moment in this journey that she was blinded by love.

”If you aren't in love, why aren't you killing him then!? That man must have tricked you! Let me go! I'll decapitate him for you!”

Hereth struggled from Aleshia's hold intensely. Her eyes were even more bloodshot than before.

”Don't you dare!! Hereth, even if I knew you since I was 8 years old, I would not sit back and let you do as you like!”

Aleshia gripped at Hereth's collar tighter and she pulled her closer to her face. Anger was brimming inside Aleshia. Hereth was interfering with her life and it may even kill her. Once Hereth succeeds and kills Lawrend, she will also be dead.

”Shiana! Listen to yourself! If that is not love, I don't know what is!”

Hereth's eyes became more bloodshot and fierce when she mentioned the word 'love'. It was like something about it was making her agitated.

”I'm not in love.”

Aleshia replied solemnly with no emotion on her face. Although she trusts Lawrend quite a bit, it was still not at the level that she was in love with him.

”Heh, let's see.”

Suddenly, Hereth threw a white powder at Aleshia's face, blinding her.

”Agh!”

Aleshia screamed in discomfort and held her eyes. This, in turn, gave Hereth the freedom that she needed.

”Come here, little boy!”

Hereth looked down under the carriage seat where she last saw Lawrend. To her surprise, he was not there. In instinct, she turned around.

”I'm not an idiot to stay in the same place!”

Lawrend seems like he had a lot of pent-up anger about being called an idiot. Who knows where it came from? [Author's Note: I'm looking at you, Reader.]

Lawrend touched her chest with his right hand as it was the biggest and closest part of her body to him before he shouted with great fervor.

”Shock Arc!”

Lawrend had already been prepared. When he saw his chance, he chanted under his breath as fast as he could.

'I hope this works!'

Lawrend knew from the memories that he got that electricity is more easily conducted when you are in skin-to-skin contact with someone.

The lightning mana inside his hand burst forth, and as if there were no barriers, the lightning mana traveled out of his hand and into her body.

And with wide eyes, Hereth felt a strong current enter her body. It was like her insides were opened and slapped with a whip. It was an excruciating feeling. Then it reached her brain; without any suspense, she was cooked alive. All of this happened in under a millisecond.

Lawrend panted heavily and sat on the carriage seat before resting his back. He looked at her dead body silently. This time, it was not just a goblin. It was a woman.
