Chapter 32 Captured?
‘How the hell can she do that?’ thought Aiden looking at the woman that was changing into him.
The appearance of the once-beautiful woman was now exactly how Aiden was looking.
“Just what are you?” shouted Aiden.
“Kekekeke, who knows, I can be what I want to be,” said the monster who now had the same voice as Aiden.
The monster was laughing almost as if he had been waiting for that moment to happen.
Seeing that monster, a question popped into the mind of Aiden.
‘Is it able to copy my abilities?’ thought Aiden, scared that it would be able to do such a thing.
He was scared because if he was able to access his strength and abilities than wouldn’t the monster be as strong as him.
“What are you looking like that for, kekeke,” said the monster laughing in a weird manner.
“Do you want to me or come back with me peacefully?” asked the monster, losing all playfulness in his voice, he was serious.
Seeing those words coming out of his mouth, Aiden didn’t understand much. Where would he have to go back to? He knew that the task given by the king would attract some attention to him, be it positive or negative.
‘Just who sent this thing after me?’ thought Aiden, thinking about the possibilities.
The most obvious ones were obviously the twelve people who were in the room with Aiden when the king announced that he would be getting a special. Actually, they were the only suspects because Aiden didn’t even meet anybody else since he had come here. But he didn’t have a single clue about which one it might be since they all pretty much acted the same, none of them were different in terms of personality.
“Come back with you, why the hell would I do that, I can just beat you up and make you tell me all the information you have,” said Aiden, preparing himself to attack that monster, wanting to know who his master was.
He dashed toward the monster at a speed that the monster couldn’t even react and did a quick slash to its legs.
The monster not having enough time to react didn’t have much choice but to get hit by this attack.
Both legs of the Aiden look-a-like were chopped up, but no blood could be seen coming out of them, in fact, there was no liquid coming out of the legs of the monster.
The inside of his leg was a void without anything inside of it.
“Now, you will answer me, who sent yo,” asked Aiden, looking at the monster who suddenly interrupted him.
“Why are they always attacking when I ask politely?” interrupted the monster calmly, seemingly not feeling that he had lost his legs.
“Every time I say that they always attack me for no reason. Why? why? Do I need to hurt you too for you to come back with me,” said the monster starting to lose reason.
Losing his mind, the monster picked up the two legs that were right beside him and put them where they had been cut off.
‘What is that thing doing, putting your legs there won’t do an…’ thought Aiden, but he stopped talking as he saw something impossible happen right in front of his very eyes.
The legs which Aiden had clearly cut off were starting to reassemble with his body. But Aiden had no idea how they were reattaching the monster’s body because he couldn’t see its bones or anything, the interior of its body looked empty.
‘Just what is he made of,’ thought Aiden, thinking back to how he had reacted when his legs had gotten cut off, in fact, he was more angry than hurt.
Aiden didn’t want the monster to be able to reattach himself, so he quickly slashed his legs once again. Not wanting it to be able to fight back.
“Now, you will tell me, who sent you after me? What is their goal?”
“I won’t tell you. You won’t be able to make me talk, kekeke, I can’t even feel pain and I can’t reveal any information about him or I will simply disintegrate,” said the monster laughing once again not caring about what Aiden would be doing to him.
Aiden repeated the question once again but he was met once again with laughter from the monster.
This reaction that the monster had, angered Aiden because it told him that the monster didn’t care about his presence.
This made Aiden think about a technique that eh had promised himself not to use ever again because of how badly hurt when it had been used against him. A torture technique that had made Aiden unable to think normally for days, a technique that was shown through practice and applied directly to his body.
“We’ll see if you won’t talk to me,” murmured Aiden dangerously.
But before deciding to do the torture technique needed to find a private place, not close to the public. He didn’t even notice that while both of them were fighting, nobody had tried interrupting them.
‘Are we invisible or something?’
Deciding to test that theory of his, Aiden shouted loudly to see if any of the merchants or inhabitants of the city was hearing them. But, no reaction could be seen from the merchants or anyone really.
“What have you done?” shouted Aiden, this time truly angered.
“Kekeke, who knows when you will be able to get out of this place?”
“What is this?” asked Aiden, looking at the monster menacingly.
“Don’t worry about it, my master will soon come visit you.”
“Visit me? I’ll just leave this place before he comes,” said Aiden as he started walking away.
But as he reached 20 meters of distance from the monster, he seemed to be stopped in his tracks, a big wall made out of energy was stopping him from leaving.π«πΆπ£π²π ππxt.πΈππ
Not believing that he had actually got trapped in here, he took his dagger and started slashing at the wall, over and over again without stopping that is until he saw that he was making no progress.
He was trapped and had no idea how to escape.
