Chereads / Smartphone In Another World / Chapter 42 - Curse 3

Chapter 42 - Curse 3

Alex Hambell only knows three magic.

He is a sword junkie, which is why he did not attempt to study more magic.

Meanwhile, Alex, the transmigrator, has recently been reading about magic, but it is all theory and articles.

In the end, he will have to purchase a grimore or learn it from someone.

Grimore is uncommon, but it is difficult to find one in May City, so it would take some time until he found one.

On the other side, only a few people can teach their spells to others.

Almost everyone in May City who could use magic, particularly adventurers, was now employing their spells instinctively rather than theoretically, so he couldn't rely on any random person.

However, when in the midst of the battle earlier, he considered assigning an assignment to teach him some range magic later.

/Spell: Shield

/Command: Physical

A golden light surrounds his body.

She couldn't see him because of the brightness, so she went back outside.

She observes him for a short time until she can properly notice his appearance.

His Magic is called Aegis.

It is a form of defensive magic that can deflect a specific attack.

In this instance, he applies the command to the physical.

Erica has been utilizing magic to increase her body strength thus far, which is why he set the command to physical.

Unfortunately, Erica smiles and understands how his order works.

/Spell: Lightning

/Command: Arrow

She suddenly creates a lightning arrow and attempts to penetrate his foot.

He was astonished to see her attack, but he is relieved that he avoided it.

Unfortunately, it appears that she will not stop.

Magic: Lightning Arrow.

She made an uncountable number of lightning arrows.

"1, 2, 3, 4— What the hell?! This is a joke, right?"

"FIRE!"

*Boom!

He was pelted with lightning arrows all at once.

He is fleeing for his life, but evading the attacks is impossible.

Fortunately, his shield is providing some protection from the shockwaves and rocks.

"Run!"

He runs in Z-line to avoid her assaults.

Even with Auto Weak Point, he couldn't keep up with her stream of blows.

He tries to parry the incoming attack, but it always knocks him off balance.

"DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KILL ME!!!"

"MUWAHAHAHAHA!!!"

However, she did not hear him at all.

In fact, she feels ecstatic.

Erica is proud of her brother, Erwin.

After all, he stopped his career to further her studies.

Regardless, she despises him.

Investigator is one of the careers that is centered on stealth.

Thief, Assassin, Spy, and Investigator.

These are occupations that require similar skills but differ in nature.

Thieves are those who are always killing monsters.

Assassins murdered target people.

Spies are individuals who infiltrate for information.

Meanwhile, Investigator does everything.

They can kill monsters, humans, and infiltrate to obtain information.

However, all of these are required only to discover the truth, the truth that their contactor seeks.

They will carry out all of this in cold blood.

However, her hatred for her brother is not due to the woman she has evolved into.

The reason is that he did not say anything to her.

She assumed he was only taking a year off, but he did not pursue his education after she graduate from SGKS.

She is grateful, but she also resents that he did not say anything.

Didn't he trust her?

Is she a burden?

And numerous questions related to his trust in her.

Her resentment, however, has subsided since his death.

What hurts the most is that he died in the same way that their parents did.

She sobs uncontrollably, convinced that she will never forgive him even if he is no longer alive.

However, when she met his nephew and niece, she felt she could forgive her brother.

But now… seeing Alex resemble his brother, her hate returned.

Not only that, but for some reason, her hate is becoming worse.

She couldn't control her emotions because her rage was driving her like an uncontrolled hurricane.

Alex is fleeing for his life, unaware of her feelings against his father.

/spell: Boost

/Command: 4x

Another spell he knows is Body Enhancement, which she used before.

His speed and strength increases, but his situation remains the same.

'I needed to approach her position.'

His skill Auto Weak Point is effective in quarter combat, so instead of running, he rushes to her side.

When she noticed he was running towards him, she figured he wanted to engage in close battle, so she increased her attacks.

'It hurts… It hurts…'

He couldn't stop thinking about how painful her attacks were against his skin.

'Something is wrong with her!'

Finally, he realized it.

Normally, she would not damage him, but for some reason, her assaults have become more severe as the battle progresses.

His time has stopped.

A lightning arrow was going to strike his head.

He can see it but his body couldn't move the manner his mind wishes.

His pace could not change direction.

His mana is already depleted.

His Aegis is gone, as is the body enhancement.

His life flashed across his head once more.

However, there is no life in his prior life, only in his most current one.

Particularly, his interactions with Alicia Hambell and Su Yan.

Their vacation and daily lives under one roof.

Other people come to mind.

Angelina Valentine and, shockingly, his aunt, Erica Hambell.

Angelina is like his older sister who is ready to help him and Erica, who always listens and helps him.

He has no idea why she has become this way, but it would not be a horrible thing if she's the one who killed him.

However, just as he gives up, someone blocks the lightning arrow.

As he falls, time resumes.

He looked up and saw a small figure in a full-length cloak.

As he rushes to his aunt, he noticed that the person was clutching a double dagger.

"Wait—"

He intended to stop the person, but before he could, a tight battle had broken out.

Concentrating his eyes, he can see Erica is carrying a twin dagger out of nowhere.

Their battles are so rapid that he can't stand to watch since he can't see them.

Even though he has understood there is something wrong with her, he realized that she is still holding back.

'My aunt is excessively powerful.'
