The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 331 331 - Evelynn's Monster

The monster didn't look like he appreciated what had just happened as he literally tried to jump off and run toward Evelynn who was on the ground.

However, Aiden wouldn't let such a thing happen as he caught it in his hands.

"You won't get away, stupid creature," Aiden said as he looked into the little monster's eyes.

It was clear that the monster was currently acting scared and it was also clear that it didn't want to take part in this fight at all. However, from what [Mind of an Assassin] was currently showing Aiden, that monster would be incredibly useful.

Since that monster had been taken into account, they were getting closer and closer to finding a way to kill the Octopus.

Still, Aiden took his time as he was still dodging the incoming attacks from the Octopus as he had decided to trust his skill [Mind of an Assassin] once again. 

He knew that it had failed a lot in recent times, but Aiden knew about its potential and there was no doubt in his mind that it was about to get stronger and stronger over time.

Aiden slowly but surely started releasing some of the pressure that he was putting on Evelynn's monster, wondering what it would try to do. However, this time there was no reaction whatsoever, it stayed completely still which was exactly what Aiden wanted.

Then, Aiden's shadow seemed to have found a way as it wasn't dead this time.

'Alright, time to execute,' Aiden thought, as the shadow started to advance in a certain manner.

Aiden didn't think too much about how he needed to fight as he would only be following that shadow of his, he would be following every single moment coming from it.

He saw the shadow advancing slowly toward the Octopus, he wasn't using [Lightning Steps] or anything like that for that matter. He was slowly running toward it.

Aiden couldn't help but think that this would fail, however, he knew that his skill knew a lot better than him.

Every single time that he had trusted it, he had won. Except when he had fought against Emma... but that wasn't really because of the skill's fault since he was forcefully deactivated because of one of her arrows.

For some reason, the small monster that Aiden had dropped on the ground was following everything that he needed to do.

'Can he see the effect of my skill?' Aiden thought as he knew that this monster was from the Lumithars, so there were indeed chances that it would be the case.

Aiden couldn't think too much about it as he needed to concentrate on the shadow of himself. However, that thought was in his mind.

Tentacles came Aiden's way, but every time that was the case, his shadow would perform the tightest dodge possible, sometimes Aiden could feel the Octopus skin texture on his arms and legs. It really wasn't the nicest feeling all things considered.

Nonetheless, everything that was happening right now was in the scope of what the skill had anticipated which was exactly what he wanted.

"Careful!" Evelynn shouted from far away seeing as how every single attack was so close to hitting Aiden.

It was truly scary from her point of view, it seemed like Aiden would be hit by the tentacle every time, but, he somehow managed to dodge them.

"Don't worry, it'll soon be over," Aiden shouted back as he knew that this was only a question of time.

He didn't know when he would be reaching the head of the monster, but he knew that it was only a question of time with this skill that was currently activated.

Aiden then saw his shadow activate [Lightning Steps], and accelerate without wasting one single second.

Aiden obviously did the same.

The little monster of Evelynn was still running in a random direction, however, it was following everything that the shadow was showing Aiden.

The monster was doing everything right at the moment, even if it seemed extremely useless.

'Let's do this, for real this time,' Aiden thought as he saw that his shadow was taking an impulsion to make a big jump toward the Octopus.

Evelynn's monster was now behind the octopus and had been able to get there without the Octopus even noticing him since from what Aiden had seen the octopus was focused on Aiden and Aiden only.

Aiden was now in the air, and instead of using momentum, the shadow had decided that flying would be a better idea.

However, the shadow was using flight in a completely different way than Aiden had thought of. The shadow was only using the flight ability to make sure that he wouldn't lose height, however, Aiden was still able to keep the momentum without the slightest problem.

lightsnοvεl 'Interesting,' Aiden thought as he tightly grabbed the dagger in his hands while dodging every tentacle that was coming his way.

As he was getting closer and closer to the head of the octopus, Aiden couldn't help but think that this solution was almost the same that he had used at the start of this fight.

So, he wondered what would be different this time.

Sure, there was the flight and how he used it, but there had to be something else. 

Why did he need help from that monster if all he needed to do was jump toward the octopus's head, it made no sense whatsoever.

Then, he noticed that the octopus had something around its neck, it seemed to be some sort of protective device.

However, Aiden didn't seem worried about it as he used his weapon's aura which could cut through literally everything that was in his way.

His dagger was slowly getting closer to the monster's neck, and...

*SLASH*

The head of the octopus fell on the ground. The octopus was dead—well from the looks of it as Aiden didn't receive any message from the system and there was also no use of Evelynn's monster just yet.

But it seemed that it was time to see Evelynn's monster use.
