The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World



"Who are you and what are you doing here?" said the person with a chilling voice as he wasn't on the ground anymore.

He was right behind Aiden ready to strike him down.

'How?' thought Aiden, as he couldn't believe that he hadn't seen that person move behind him. He had to admit that he was completely shocked about this whole matter.

Aiden moved away instantly as he worried about what this man was about to do as he wasn't sure if he was even going to be able to react.

He hadn't even seen him inside such a powerful body whose stats were all over 150.

Then, Aiden remembered the initial pose of that man, who had sat on the ground exactly like Lucius had been in the Arena.

'There's no way, right?' thought Aiden, not sure if he should trust his instinct.

Aiden just couldn't believe that the man in front of him was Lucius. Obviously, Lucius was also currently impersonating another body.

'Is this even possible? Can I fight against other people from Nova when doing trials?' thought Aiden, unsure if this was even possible in the first place.

However, the system which had just heard his question made a small beeping noise.

It seemed that it had the answer and that it wouldn't hide it from Aiden at all.

*BEEP*

[It's possible to fight against people from your own world while doing a trial.]

Aiden reading this right away, couldn't help but ask another question inside his mind.

'Is that man in front of me, Lucius Nightshade?' 

Then, there was a small delay in the answer as Aiden didn't receive a beeping noise this time.

However, after some seconds, he did happen and another text appeared in front of him.

*BEEP*

[Yes, the man in front of you is currently being impersonated by Lucius Nightshade.]

Hearing that response, Aiden muttered that name in a low tone.

"Lucius."

The man in front of him had a weird reaction hearing that name, however, he quickly got back into the fight without saying anything as if nothing had even happened.

Aiden didn't know why but knowing that the person controlling that body was Lucius, he felt that he had even more reasons than before to win.

He needed to win.

'Are you watching?' thought Aiden, as the face of the Nightshade Patriarch appeared instantly inside of his mind.

He wanted to prove that he had made a mistake abandoning the old Aiden who was residing inside if this body.

Aiden then started to feel some anger inside him as he released that deadly black aura around him. 

Lucius seeing that black aura seemed to react as he moved his head a little to the left as if wondering where he had seen this before.

"Who are you?" repeated Lucius, in a voice which would make many shiver only by hearing it.

Aiden hadn't heard his voice before before and he had to admit that it wasn't satisfying to hear at all.

Even Aiden who was used to being talked in such a way didn't appreciate that tone.

'Should I reveal my name?' thought Aiden, not sure if he should.

For all he knew the people watching this fight could very well be listening right at this moment.

Thinking of that possibility, Aiden decided against it as he prepared himself to murmur his nickname, the one which had haunted so many people in his life.

Thinking of that nickname, Aiden thought back on his mask which he had destroyed right before entering this trial. 

'Wait, when I come out, everyone's going to see my face,' thought Aiden, as he suddenly realized that what he had done at the start was one hell of a dumb move.

'Why did I even do that?' thought Aiden, as he wasn't that focused on the fight anymore. 

However, the shilling voice woke him up as he looked right in front of him, dismissing those thoughts instantly.

"Who are you?" repeated Lucius, this time being a little bit more aggressive.

"The Reaper," murmured Aiden, thinking that it would cause some sort of fear in Lucius, however, none of that happened as he kept a straight face.

"Who's that?" muttered Lucius, breaking Aiden's confidence in half.

'He doesn't know about me.'

'Did he really not pay attention to anyone else, but himself and that stupid ground which he was constantly looking at,' thought Aiden as he could some rage rising inside his body.

Aiden was clearly mad about this whole thing, but thinking about it a little more, it was kind of normal for Lucius to not know anything about him as he really didn't pay attention to anything.

However, it still hurt being told that in your face.

'I guess, I'll just have to make him remember me,' thought Aiden, as he made sure to have the tips which Lilia had told him about.

He would make sure that he wouldn't be able to use flash step, that was going to be Aiden's main goal during this fight.

Nonetheless, Aiden wasn't duped he knew that the man in front of him would be able to use a lot of other things like skills and techniques.

He knew that someone coming from the Nightshade family wouldn't be depending on one thing and one thing only, he was sure to have many tricks in his bag, especially since he was called the strongest by many people around him.

Then, making up his mind, Aiden grabbed a firm of his dagger as he looked straight into the eyes of the man Lucius was impersonating.

After doing so, he accelerated in front of him appearing in front of Lucius instantly as the speed which he could reach with this body was absolutely insane.

Then, without losing any time, Aiden started attacking relentlessly, not wanting Lucius to even have a single break.

"By the end of this fight you better that name, the Reaper," muttered Aiden as he continued to attack Lucius.

"Sure," replied Lucius, nonchalantly not caring about what Aiden had said at all.
