Chapter 177 177 - Lost
As Aiden closed his eyes and reopened them, his entire vibe seemed to have changed as it was a lot darker than earlier.
“L-let go,” muttered Lucius as he could feel that his arms were being literally crushed.
However, Aiden didn’t even blink as he heard this, simply smiling while looking into Lucius’s eyes while continuing to put pressure on both his arms.
“Repeat it, are you going to take that name?” uttered Aiden once again.
If anyone were to see him right now they would be scared out of their minds, because his eyes, his body, his aura, everything about Aiden was incredibly scary as if someone had taken over his body.
It had just changed so much in a matter of seconds that it didn’t make any sense.
“Who are you?” asked Lucius once again.
Aiden only smiled as he gave the same answer as earlier.
“I already told you, I’m the Reaper.”
Lucius, however, faintly shook his head as he knew that this wasn’t the case. That wasn’t the person who was in front of him crushing his arms and wrists.
The man in front of him wasn’t the same as earlier, Lucius had no idea how, but he knew that there had been a switch, something was different.
“N-no, who are you? Your name… w-what is it?” said Lucius as he struggled to talk normally as pain invaded the entirety of his body.
‘I shouldn’t,’ thought Aiden, unsure if that was the wisest of decisions.
In fact, he knew that it wasn’t.
‘I wonder what he would think about it. Yeah, he wouldn’t do it, he wouldn’t have a reason to after all.’
The person who was currently thinking wasn’t Aiden who came from Earth but the one who was from the Nova, the one who had been thrown away.
He had taken over Aiden’s body because of all the emotions that he had been feeling.
He was the one who had been causing those emotions since the very start after all.
Then, he glanced at a small timer on the top right of his vision which was going down second by second.
[5:00]

[4:58]
‘Only five minutes is that really all the time that I gathered?’ thought Darius, frustrated a little that he wouldn’t be able to enjoy this moment as much as he would have liked too.
However, with the bonus strength in his body, he knew that he could basically do anything to the person which was in front of him.
The person who had made him suffer from the moment he was born, always talking down on him as if he was nothing more than an object which he could throw away with a single thought.
That was the sort of brother Lucius had been, a manipulative son of a bitch. Even if might seem to be stupid, not caring about anything that was simply false as he would always be aware of his surroundings.
He knew that if he really acted like a stupid person, many would underestimate him which was why he would act this way most of the time.
But that wasn’t the only cause of that, the other reason was probably that he found it too troublesome to look at all the things around him when he could simply hear them.
Wasn’t it simpler to just hear things, instead of seeing them?
Well, maybe it wasn’t easier, but it was faster that’s for sure.
“Fuck you,” muttered Aiden, completely dismissing Lucius’s question as he knew that it was in his best interest not to tell him anything.
He needed his identity to be secret from the Nightshades or else he wouldn’t know the trouble he would get into.
“At least release my arms,” said Lucius with the strength that was left in his body.
Aiden actually listened to him as he wanted to see the damage that he had just done to Lucius’s body and he could only smile when he saw it.
And when he saw the state in which Lucius was, he could finally feel some happiness.
“I hope you can see this,” shouted Aiden out loud, looking up at the sky as he once again started getting closer and closer to Lucius’s body as he wasn’t finished with it at all.
Aiden, the one from Nova, obviously hoped that his father was able to see this. He hoped that he was able to see how he was destroying his precious right now.
He wished to see his face, but he knew that it wasn’t possible.
Then, he saw that Lucius’s crushed hands started to move a little into what seemed to be a small portal.
“Are you trying to take a [Return Stone] out of your inventory?” asked Aiden, as he immediately appeared right beside Lucius’s body kicking it right in the stomach.
“Oh, that felt good,” muttered Aiden as he had longed to see that look of pain and hopelessness on his brother’s body.
Then, he quickly glanced at the timer and saw that it was almost time for him to leave, the other Aiden to take over.
[1:20]
[1:19]
Seeing that he pretty much had only a minute left, he didn’t care anymore as he kept hitting Lucius over and over again until he could see more and more blood come out of his body.
“That was for all you ever did to me,” said Aiden as he continued punching with all he could possibly muster.
Then, the bloodied face of the person which Lucius was impersonating revealed a faint smile on his face.
“You won’t be alive much longer when we leave this trial,” he said as he had literal blood on his teeth basically gushing out constantly.𝒏𝚘𝓥𝞮𝗅𝑛𝓮xt.𝑪𝑜𝓂
Aiden, however, only scuffed as he knew that there wouldn’t much problem when getting out, he had the support of one of the families’ heads with him.
He knew that he wasn’t close with Melinda, but he hoped that she would at least shield him from the Nightshade.
Then, the timer reached its last seconds, as Aiden murmured something to the dying Lucius.

“See you later.”
