The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World



Aiden, on the other hand, had decided that he would pull off the thing that he had wanted to keep secret this whole time. The thing which he hadn't shown to anyone yet.

Making everyone think that he wouldn't be able to do it, making everyone think that he wasn't that talented.

But, he would show everyone that he was talented and that he was able to make a difference.

So, what was that secret of his?

What had he been working for this past month while training?

Sure, he had trained like an actual madman doing training that not many would actually do, but that wasn't all or else, it would have been lost time as he could have gone ahead and done the Third Trial.

However, there was another reason why he had taken a whole month of training away from anyone.

He had decided to train the bow right, and it had been quite the journey. However, with the whole getting away from Emma, he had decided not to train it as much which resulted in quite a problem as he wouldn't be able to use Everheart technique.

Well, he decided to find a solution to that problem, what if he could use the Everheart technique not with a long-range weapon like a bow, but with his dagger?

Wouldn't that solve everything?

Sure, he had practiced the bow and he was able to use it a little, however, it just couldn't be compared to his experience with a dagger.

He had told Emma, that he might use the bow in the tournament, well... it wasn't completely a lie as he might use it depending on the situation. Nonetheless, the chances were quite slim as he had found a way to use the Everheart technique with a dagger.

Well, it can't really be called the Everheart Technique anymore and it can't really be called the Nightshade Technique as Aiden simply hate that name to his core.

So, he decided that he should find another name for that technique of his, in fact, it was the system which had helped him to find the name.

The system had actually given the name to Aiden while he was still thinking about it as if knowing the perfect name for it.

And Aiden had also quite liked the name, even if it referenced his past life and his current one. He found that it was quite good.

The system had given the idea that it should be named: [The Reaper Technique]. The reasons as to why Aiden liked and hated that name were quite obvious.

He loved it because it could be connected to him, but he also hated it for the memories that came with that name.

After all, it was that name that made him realize that he wasn't happy anymore with the current situation that he was living in.

But, how had Aiden been able to modify a technique which was so old that no one had any idea where it had come from?

In fact, it was called the Everheart Technique but it hadn't been them who had created it, it was some unknown person who probably hadn't been part of any family for that matter. 

It was only called that way because they were the ones using it, but Aiden's technique which was of course inspired by it, was his own because it was himself who had changed it.

And the craziest thing about it was that he had learned it in a single month.

***

'Guess, I have no choice but to use that,' thought Aiden, as his surroundings started to tremble a little.

Around him, the ground, the wind, the rocks, everything that was natural started vibrating on the ground.

This had only been done with a single thought from Aiden as if it was the easiest thing in the world.

Emma, who had just shot her arrow to kill the swordsman, raised her head toward Aiden's fight realizing that he had started to use the Everheart technique.

She was impressed, that was the only thing she could feel at the moment. She simply couldn't believe it.

'Did he really learn it in a single month? But he told me that he hadn't been able to,' thought Emma, finding it weird that all her surroundings started to vibrate and float around her.

Well, she wasn't wrong Aiden hadn't been able to learn the Everheart technique as it simply didn't correspond with him, at the start, he had wanted to adapt to the technique to get stronger.

But, he had realized that if he wanted to be the strongest, then he would have to stop relying on others and start relying on himself and himself only which was why he decided that he would be changing that damn technique to one of his own.

'Alright, first step done,' thought Aiden, as he started to move his dagger in a certain way, taking some distance from the blind person in front of him.

However, it was clear that the Prodigy wouldn't let Aiden do what he wanted so he started to attack him.

*Swoosh*

But, as he advanced an arrow arrived right in front of his face, not letting him get closer to Aiden.

Olivia and Logan who now had to deal with only a single person, surely didn't need her help anymore as Olivia would probably muster some massive spell to kill off the tank of the enemy team.

"Aiden, continue what you're doing, I'll hold him off," shouted Emma from far away, bow in hand.

The Prodigy who was right in front of Aiden couldn't stop moving as he still needed to get to him as he could feel that the attack that he was currently preparing was one that would be dangerous for sure.

All the natural elements that Aiden had called were now floating around the dagger in a circular motion as if waiting for Aiden's command to be released.

Emma, who caught sight of this was flabbergasted, as she simply couldn't believe her eyes.

'He isn't using a bow? How is he doing that?' she thought seeing all those elements floating around the small dagger which he was holding.

Normally, those elements would be used when pulling the string of the bow, but this was completely different as they were simply floating around the dagger, condensing itself as much as it could as the elements mixed with each other and kept getting closer and closer to each other.

'Is that what he had been doing this past month?' thought Emma, as she continued to shoot arrows in the blind man's way as she didn't want him to interrupt whatever Aiden was currently preparing as even she was anticipating what he was going to pull off.

Then, out of nowhere, Aiden made a quick move with his dagger which made all of the elements around it to stop moving completely. It was like he had perfect mastery of those elements that were surrounding his dagger.

It was incredible, as Emma was surprised that such a thing was even possible as she had never attained such mastery over the elements.

After making all the elements stop, Aiden also stopped moving as held in his hands and started to release a dark aura.

The exact same aura which he had released earlier toward Olivia.

Then, he started walking forward as the rocks, and the wind followed right in its step, not even falling behind a little.

The Prodigy felt that some danger was getting closer and closer as he started walking backwards a little.

And as he did so, another message appeared in front of him.

[Paulina has died.]

It was his last teammate who had just died.

Then, his emotionless face completely changed as he opened his mouth and got on the ground.

"Please, please, listen to me. I need this," said the blind man on the ground pleading against his enemy as he knew that he would be losing.

Aiden, hearing his pleas, only scuffed as he answered.

"And you think we don't need this, you should have given up earlier," he said as he raised his dagger in his hand preparing to make a swift strike to his neck, finally ending this damn fight which had taken far too long for Aiden's taste.

*Slash*

Then, some blinding light appeared, however, it wasn't enough this time as Aiden's dagger completely went through his neck without even stopping for a single moment.

The natural elements seemed to have helped in killing him.

However, there was still somewhat of a problem, Aiden still had absolutely no idea what sort of skill or technique this man had used.

'Why did I act so quickly, I should've asked him,' thought Aiden, frustrated with himself, as he had acted rashly for no reason as he should've waited.

Then, all he could from below and from right beside him were cheers as everyone seemed to be quite happy with this win of theirs.

A message, once again, appeared in front of all of them as the usual beeping sound resounded inside everyone's mind.

[You have won this team battle.]
