Chapter 283 283 – Old Teammates
‘Why are there only monsters from my first trial?’ Aiden thought as everywhere he looked he saw that there were all either zombies, animals or orcs.
He didn’t understand how such a thing was possible since he was in a completely different which shouldn’t be related to the first trial.
‘Maybe it’s related to that beeping sound from earlier?’ Aiden thought as he remembered not being able to look at the message that had come from it.
He had to admit that he was pretty curious as to what the system could have sent him, however, he didn’t have time to think too much about it as he was soon surrounded by a bunch of different monsters.
On his right there were two zombies, on his left there was a bear, and in front of him, there was a group of orcs.
Looking at all of those monsters, Aiden only smiled as he remembered how scared he had been of them at the start as he had needed to ambush to kill them.
‘I guess I really have gotten much stronger,’ he thought as he knew that he wasn’t the slightest bit of fear looking at them.
He had to admit that it was nice comparing himself to the one he was before, it made it easier to see how much he had grown during that time.
The weak and naive Aiden had now completely changed as he went through many hardships.
However, even if he would have wanted to reminisce about the past, he couldn’t as the monsters which had surrounded him were getting too close to him.
‘Time to get rid of all of you,’ Aiden thought as he decided to eliminate the bear which was on his left to start off since it was alone.
By eliminating the bear, he would be able to move freely a little bit more which would make this whole fight a lot earlier.
That’s why he immediately dashed toward his left using [Lightning Steps] the skill that he had learned before going into this trial.
By using this skill, his speed became incredible as the bear didn’t even react as Aiden slashed his neck decapitating him in a single strike.
‘This is way easier than I thought.’
Seeing how easily he had gotten rid of the bear, he immediately went toward the two zombies.
Then, as he got in range to slash their neck he did so as they still hadn’t noticed his approach because of the speed at which he was currently going.
It was honestly an incredible feeling for Aiden as he currently felt unstoppable, he knew that none of the monsters which were around him could hurt him.
If he really wanted to, he would simply run around all of them and quickly finish all of them, however, he wanted to take this opportunity as much as he possibly could as he knew that he would be going back to Nova.
And in Nova, Aiden wasn’t anything impressive at all.
He knew that a lot of people were able to oppress him extremely easily, however, this situation was making him forget about all those problems as he continued to slay every monster that appeared in his past.
‘Did I really struggle against such creatures before?’ Aiden thought as he simply couldn’t believe how weak he had been before.
‘I guess my growth was impressive, huh? How much time has it been? Three months?’
Aiden wasn’t even sure how much time had gone by since he had arrived in this world, however, his guess was between three months and two months.
Then, as he thought about the past, he raised his head and noticed that there was a monster which had once needed help beating.
‘I wonder how easy killing the boss monster will be now?’ Aiden thought as he anticipated that moment.
He remembered that he had needed help from Ava who he still hadn’t seen again.
He had to admit that it was weird that he hadn’t seen her at the Inter Family Tournament, his guess was that she had been eliminated at the start of it since she really hadn’t been anything truly impressive.
‘Ah, whatever, I don’t know why I’m thinking of her now of all times.’
Dismissing his thoughts, he dashed toward the Cyclops while using [Lightning Steps], he wanted to make sure that he would be killing the boss monster as fast as possible.
Then, as he got close to the feet of the Cyclops who was twice as tall as him, Aiden jumped up so that he could reach the neck area.
After doing so, he grabbed his dagger as tightly as he good putting as much strength as he possibly could before slashing the neck of that monster.
‘I guess that’s all I needed to do, huh? No much of a difference compared to the other monsters,’ Aiden thought as he saw the head of the Cyclops fall onto the ground making a big shockwave.
Then, the body of the Cyclops disappeared into particles just like all the monsters that he had killed before.
‘This place really is weird, I feel like it’s been created by the system,’ Aiden thought as he started to see a lot of resemblances.
However, he still had a problem he had no way to prove it.
As he was thinking about those things, the particles of the Cyclops finally left Aiden’s sight and then Aiden saw something which shocked him even more.
There were two dead bodies which were in front of him.
‘Wait are those the bodies of those two guys that I killed at the start?’ Aiden thought as he didn’t seem to remember their names.
‘Wait, the dwarf was named… I think it was Gus, right? And that one was the assassin and his name was… Jackson, no James. I think it was James,’ Aiden thought unsure if those were the actual names.
But then, he saw that the two of them were slowly walking toward him.
‘Do I need to kill them?’ Aiden thought as he truly didn’t mind such a thing.
