The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Aiden on the other hand couldn’t even bother to look at the little message that had appeared in front of him as he was currently in a fight that required all of his attention, he was trying to make sure that he wouldn’t lose against the Prodigy.

He knew that he was better than him, but he still needed to fully concentrate as he knew that if he made a mistake then his opponent would be capitalizing on it.

They were currently reaching the peak of the fight, as the tension was as high as possible, both Aiden and the blind man were currently fighting with such intensity that those who were looking at them from the outside would have difficulty realizing who currently had the upper hand.

It was close, but at the moment, it seemed that Aiden was much better as he was able to deal blows quite easily and whenever he would be surprised by one of the attacks made by the Prodigy. His Sixth Sense seemed to kick in as he seemed to realize that he was being attacked.

This skill [Sixth Sense] which he had gained by doing the trial for the VIP Entries was quite useful as Aiden could feel a certain threat from each blow that came from his opponent, it really was quite interesting.

Aiden could faintly hear the voice of Olivia in his ears as she shouted really loudly.

“Still think you’re going to win, look, your prodigy doesn’t seem to be in the best shape,” she said as she pointed to the tree which Aiden and the Prodigy were currently fighting.

What Olivia had just said was true, even if the fight felt close, Aiden kept doing more damage from the little details which he had polished in his other life, Aiden was able to spot all the mistakes which the Prodigy was currently making.

‘Maybe he isn’t that much of a prodigy,’ thought Aiden, as he didn’t think for a single moment that losing was an option at the moment.

Whatever the man in front of him was trying, Aiden was able to counter it.

However, he had to admit that it was impressive for someone who couldn’t use his eyes, to be able to spot him and fight him with such intensity.

It was quite an impressive feat and Aiden had to respect it.

‘Um, I guess this is the end,’ thought Aiden, as he spotted an opening in the Prodigy’s defence which made him vulnerable to an attack to the neck.

It was Aiden’s special move, he couldn’t resist to the temptation as he swung his dagger instantly in the direction of his neck.

The dagger was approaching closer and closer to it, and it seemed that the Prodigy was going to lose this fight as they were no way for him to dodge it anymore, it was too close to him.

The only way for him to survive at the moment would be for someone to block the attack of Aiden, but it was unthinkable.

It was set in stone, the man in front of him would die.

Well, not die for real but still, there would only be two more opponents to defeat and one of them, would be the swordsman who didn’t seem to be that great.

Aiden would surely be able to overpower him.

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm There was literally no doubt in his mind.

His strike continued and just as it was about to touch the skin of the Prodigy, the skin which was around his neck started to glow.

‘What’s this?’ thought Aiden, as he continued his moment, surprised to see light come out of his opponent’s neck.

Nonetheless, Aiden didn’t care about it, as it was only light, it’s not like it would be able to make his weapon bounce off like nothing.

Then as the dagger reached his opponent’s neck, the light that was coming off from it amplified even more, as it blinded Aiden.

*Cling*

That was the sound that the dagger had made when reaching the neck of his opponent. It was metallic as if his dagger had hit a metallic surface which caused it to bounce off.

Then, the prodigy smiled as he opened his mouth for the very first time since this fight started.

“Um, guess, you didn’t expect that,” he said in a low tone, knowing that Aiden was probably shocked by what just happened.

‘What happened? Why did my dagger bounce off his neck?’ thought Aiden, not sure why he heard such a noise as if something had blocked his strike.

However, there was no way to know what had happened. The reason for that was that he had been blinded by the light that had come off his opponent’s neck.

Aiden simply continued attacking him as if nothing happened trying to figure out what had happened as he needed to know if he wanted to defeat his opponent.

‘Did his skin become harder?’ thought Aiden, as this was the only thing that came to his mind at the moment.

The sound that it had made when hitting him was what made him doubt that hypothesis.

That was a metallic sound which was heard and Aiden was supposed to have hit the skin, it just didn’t make any sense.

Then, his mind kept trying to find some other option as he just couldn’t figure it out.

‘Wait, maybe his skin turned metallic which could explain the metallic noise,’ thought Aiden as it resolve the problem with his previous thought.

If this was the case, that he was able to change the hardness of his skin, then it would be a big problem as Aiden wouldn’t be able to hurt him.

However, he had been able to hurt him, he had made a few slashes onto the Prodigy’s body and there hadn’t been a single problem.

This was what made Aiden think even more as he wanted to have the right answer before trying another deadly attack.

‘Should I just try to attack him again? Maybe he won’t have enough mana for it,’ Aiden thought, as he knew that the Prodigy wasn’t constantly activating it taking in some hits.

Then, the fight between the two of them continued, as they kept attacking each other over and over again with their daggers colliding.

Aiden was currently in the process of trying to find a weak point in his opponent’s defence so that he would be able to make another deadly attack.

But, that showed to be a bigger problem than he thought as it seemed that the Prodigy had become a lot more solid in his defence, not letting any opportunities for Aiden to attack him.

Meanwhile, Melinda was still watching over Aiden who was masked,

‘Let’s see how he will react to this skill,’ she thought, knowing exactly what had happened as she had already seen it multiple times.

She, also, knew of multiple ways to counter such a skill, however, she couldn’t really tell Aiden at the moment as she was watching him from so far away.

‘If he’s able to adapt to such a situation, I might really consider recruiting him, he’s just too interesting,’ she thought, her eyes glued to the crystal ball that was right below her. 𝞰𝗈𝓥𝑒𝓛𝗇𝗲xt.𝒸𝒪𝓂

“Melinda, are you still watching that kid?” asked the dwarf, who was basically the only one who would go around and talk loudly to others.

No one other than him would do such a thing, as they were concentrated on the Inter Family Tournament as it really was quite important.

However, it seemed that Thorin didn’t even care about it as he wasn’t even in front of his crystal ball as he kept going over each one of the founding families.

“I am, what about it,” she said, clearly annoyed by his constant bickering.

“Oh, nothing, but why do you keep watching over him, shouldn’t you watch over your family members that are participating,” said Thoring as he just couldn’t grasp her intentions.

“I’m just scouting, now go away, and stop disturbing me.”

“Alright, alright, no need to get all angry at me,” said Thorin as he started backing away from her.

Then, she continued to observe Aiden’s next actions as she was quite interested in the performance that he was going to show.

She knew that being able to get rid of someone with that skill would be hard especially if you had no idea how to counter it.

But, that was what made her even more interested as she wanted to see him adapt and get stronger.

That aura from earlier had made her sure that there was something special about that boy.

She had also seen his strike to the neck of his opponent earlier. She had noticed that when he had done so, he hadn’t even felt any hesitation or anything, he had just gone for it.

Sure, the prodigy wouldn’t have died, but someone who had never killed anyone before had to be scared of hurting someone else, it was a normal reaction.

Then, her eyes widened as she saw what Aiden was trying to pull off.

‘No way.’
