I realized I was too slow. No time to boost my speed stats, and probably no time to dodge the attack either.
Evelyn, Rose's daughter, blasted me away. To my surprise, the impact wasn't as destructive as I expected—it just sent me sprawling backward. Evelyn scoffed and turned away, acting like she had already won.
Cocky little thing.
[She hit you with a curse attack.]
[Target dies within 20 seconds of being struck.]
[Nullifying the effects using Divine Protection.]
My system chimed in with an explanation.
Curse magic, huh? No wonder she was so confident.
I got to my feet, laughing like a maniac. I couldn't help it. Whenever I'm about to shatter someone's pride and drag them down from their high horse, this villainous side of me kicks in. Even if the person is just a cocky demon brat!
All eyes turned to me, but Evelyn's reaction was the best part—a mix of shock and horror. A memory worth keeping. If I had a phone, I'd have taken a picture.
