The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World
Chapter 179 - 179 - Future

After killing his first victim, Aiden didn't stop as he once again ascended into the skies, looking below him in search of new targets.

He, obviously, still had the head of their sect master as he did that since he only needed one hand to hold his dagger and kill all those weaklings.

"Just where are they?" uttered Aiden as he continued to roam the skies, however, this time he was moving at a ridiculous speed.

He made sure that he could hear the people fighting while in the air as he didn't want to miss those precious experience points, huh... targets.

Then, he heard the sound of a sword clashing with another sword, and that's when Aiden decided to immediately go in that direction.

After hearing that noise, he was right above the two people fighting, and Aiden made sure that he could determine who was with his sect and who wasn't.

Well, determining who was with him was kind of simple because all the cultivators from his sect wore a black robe, maybe because they were an evil sect and the others all wore a white robe.

Aiden really had to thank whoever had designed those robes, as it made the job way easier for him. He started to descend from the sky directly toward the one wearing a white robe.

Then, out of nowhere, he simply dived once again as he slashed at yet another cultivator wearing a white robe, and that person well... died instantly.

[You have killed a cultivator.]

But, this time, there was no mention of him leveling up which probably meant that he needed to kill another one or two to level up once again.

So, without losing any time, he ascended into the skies once again in search of a new target to kill and strike down.

While Aiden was trying to find those experience points which he desperately wanted, Melinda was now back in the room with all the other founding families' heads, and the atmosphere well... wasn't the most pleasant as some shouting and cursing could clearly be heard.

"The fuck just happened, how did Lucius lose?" shouted the Nightshade Patriarch, clearly angered by what he had just watched.

He had after all just seen his son get decapitated, well... not his son, but it was practically the same or rather it held the same meaning.

His son who was supposed to be the best of the best had been defeated by who knows.

"How could he lose against a fucking cultivator, the only thing that they have is their fucking body," continued the Nightshade Patriarch as it seemed that he still didn't know that it was the Reaper who had won against his son.

Melinda listening to all of this kept quiet as she didn't want to reveal anything as it would simply be better if the Nightshade Patriarch didn't learn that the Reaper was the one who had won against his son.

"He's fucking useless," shouted the Nightshade Patriarch, as he continued to destroy every single thing that he could put his hands on.

"Where's my son? I need to go see him," he said, disappearing from the room that they were in.

Right after pronouncing those words, he appeared inside the arena.

It seemed Lucius hadn't died because of his failure in the trial, which probably meant that he lost stats points instead.

Then, on all the crystal balls of the other family heads, there was the Nightshade Patriarch looking at Lucius.

But as soon as the Nightshade Patriarch was within arm's reach of Lucius, the two of them disappeared.

Even in the remaining founding families' heads, not a single one of them knew where he went.

"What do you think is going to happen?" asked Thorin, seeing them vanish.

"Well, you know his personality. I wouldn't be surprised to see his son either dead or severely injured because of that slip-up," muttered the elf, who hadn't said much since the start of the whole tournament.

"Right, I wouldn't want to be in the place of Lucius, that's for sure," added Thorin, agreeing with what the elf had just said.

'I hope that Lucius doesn't know that it's the Reaper who killed him,' thought Melinda, as she knew that if Lucius knew and told his father, then there would be a load of problems coming her way.

She really hoped that he had kept his mouth shut during the whole fight, but she wasn't dumb, there had probably been some exchange between the two of them, especially when Aiden had started to take advantage in the fight.

'Well, I'll try my best and hope that nothing happened to you,' thought Melinda, as she knew that it was in her best intentions to protect him from the Nightshades.

She had seen his talent and potential, and she had to admit that she wasn't disappointed in the least. He really was a talent, and she wouldn't let anyone steal him away from her.

"Who do you think will win the tournament now?" asked Melinda wondering what the others thought about the remaining participants, she knew that the two of them still had members of their family still in the tournament, so she kind of already expected their biased answers.

"Do you think we're dumb? We know the one who defeated Lucius, we weren't like that Nightshade, we paid attention to all participants, not only the members of our family. We know that it's the Reaper, so you better pray that Lucius doesn't know."

"Truth be told, your interest in him made me very curious, that's why I kept watching him, wondering what he would do," admitted the dwarf.

"At the start, I didn't think that he was anything special, but the more that I watched, the more I realized that you were right. That boy really is one of a kind," muttered the dwarf, looking at Melinda straight in the eyes, truly believing every single one of the words he had pronounced.
