The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 329 329 - Tentacles

Aiden, hearing the panicked voice of Evelynn, started running even faster than he currently was as he knew what was happening.

She was fighting a monster that was the only possibility at the moment. Aiden was also sure that it was her since no one except would be in those woods, at least the chances of her being the only human in those woods were extremely high.

"I'm coming! Try to stay alive," Aiden shouted as loudly as he could. He wanted to make sure that Evelynn would know that he was nearby, ready to help her.

As Aiden moved faster than ever before, he swiftly arrived around the area where Evelynn was fighting and there he saw the massive monster in front of her.

It was a monster that Aiden had honestly never seen before. He had some experience with weird monsters but this one seemed completely different from those he had seen before.

Its skin was dark green, however, Aiden wasn't sure if he could call it skin because of the texture that it had. If Aiden were to compare it with something he knew about, it would be a giant octopus.

It had too many tentacles to even count, it had two big eyes and three others which were quite smaller on its forehead. Aiden who was looking at it was interested in battling against such a monster.

He had never seen anything like it before which is why he was so interested in fighting it.

After observing the monster, Aiden took a small glance at Evelynn who was clearly struggling based on her appearance only, she was bleeding from both her arms and one of her legs. She had a few bruises on many parts of her body.

"HELP ME!" She continued shouting.

It seemed that she hadn't heard about Aiden's arrival, which is why she was still panicking so much.

'I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die,' she thought.

The gigantic octopus in front of her was a lot stronger than her and her pet monster. There was nothing she could do, she was outclassed in everything that was related to that octopus.

Aiden didn't let her panic overwhelm her as he started running in her position, covering the ground that was between them in less than a second.

He arrived like a hero, saving her from a certain death.

*Swoosh*

Aiden stopped right in front of her, looking at her with a worried look in his eyes. 

"Are you looking okay?" Aiden asked as he looked toward Evelynn who had fallen because of the wind that came with Aiden's appearance.

Aiden's white hair was flowing into the air, his red eyes piercing through the darkness that was surrounding them. He looked deeply into Evelynn's eyes, captivating her attention completely.

She didn't seem to realize what was happening at first, as she seemed to have her head in the clouds at the moment, unaware of everything that was happening.

"C-Careful, behind you!" She said softly, pointing toward the giant octopus that was right behind Aiden.

While saying that, she had become completely red, she was extremely shy because of everything that happened.

Aiden looked at the ground and he could see a big giant shadow on it. Without even turning around, Aiden knew what was happening... the octopus was attacking him with one of those giant tentacles.

He didn't seem panicked at all as he looked into Evelynn's eyes for one last time and he whispered something to her, "Just sit pretty, I'll take care of the rest."

'I'm pretty?' Evelynn thought, surprised that Aiden would say something like that to her.

She didn't know why but what Aiden had just said made her blush.

'Why do I care about what he says, I'm sure I have no feelings for him at all,' Evelynn thought as she clearly hadn't spent enough time with him to be developing feelings.

That's why she felt as if her whole body's reaction was extremely weird.

Aiden had no idea what was Evelynn's thoughts as he had just said that spontaneously, not even caring about the words that he had chosen... There was a giant tentacle over his head, so he hadn't had the time to think about a good answer.

He knew that he couldn't let the octopus attack him when he was right over Evelynn which is why he instantly moved to the complete opposite of her position.

"Over here!" Aiden shouted, trying to take the monster's attention away from Evelynn.

It wasn't that Aiden cared about her, but he knew that it would be faster if she was here with him when searching for all the ingredients that they would need for the potion.

Aiden was able to grab the monster's attention as it turned around in his direction.

'Alright, perfect. Now it's just you and me,' Aiden mused.

Aiden had a big smile on his face as he was excited to be fighting against someone again. It had been a couple of days since he hadn't done so, and he missed it.

The adrenaline, the feeling of being powerful. 

He didn't waste any more time admiring the monster that he was about to completely destroy as he dashed toward the octopus, still with a big smile on his face—a dangerous one.

Aiden obviously had his dagger in his hands as he tightly grabbed it.

He didn't run in without thinking about a plan, he knew that this was a type of monster that he had never seen before, so he was careful.

'It's going to be extremely hard reaching that head,' Aiden mused as the octopus had all sorts of protective measures.

The most important of them were his tentacles, however, there were many others... Aiden was sure of it.

'Alright, let's try cutting some of those tentacles. It might give me some space.'

Right after thinking that, he executed as he dashed and sliced the gluey tentacles of the octopus over and over again.

He saw many of them fall to the ground.

'Isn't this too easy?' He thought as he couldn't imagine that Evelynn had lost against a monster like this.

The monster had tried to defend itself when Aiden had attacked, but it didn't even manage to it Aiden once.

But then he heard a shout coming from Evelynn, "Don't cut his tentacles, they multiply!"

And then he saw it, every single tentacle that he had cut was coming back, but they were coming back with another tentacle.

So, for each tentacle that Aiden had cut, there were now two that had taken its place.

'Fuck, I think I get it now.'

He now understood why Evelynn had struggled. That monster was probably extremely weak in the beginning but as you damage his tentacles more and more, his strength will keep growing and growing.

Aiden looking at the monster knew the solution to this problem.

He needed to cut that monster's head with one swift motion just like he was used to doing.

But, the problem with that was quite simple, he needed to reach that head without getting caught by all the tentacles that were surrounding the octopus.

Aiden looked at the monster and he knew that this fight couldn't go any further.

"I'll end it right here and now," Aiden whispered to himself as his red eyes locked onto the head of the Octopus's head.
