The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Everything Lucius was currently saying made Aiden resonate with him. It was strange...but they were a lot more similar than Aiden would like to admit.

"You still know that I’ll kill you, right?" Aiden said out of nowhere.

Even if they were similar, he couldn’t let this man live. He needed to die for his actions even if he never understood them. It was the same for the past Aiden. He deserved to die back then, and that’s what he did.

"I’ve long accepted my death. Those five years showed me a lot of things, and I’m ready to die and move on."

Lucius closed his eyes and raised his neck.

Aiden had never thought that this assassination would head in such a direction, but it did.

"May you reincarnate in another world," Aiden mumbled.

He tightly held his dagger, took a deep breath, and cut off Lucius’s neck in one swift motion.

He was now dead. His head slowly rolled on the ground as it reached Aiden’s feet. He stepped right on top of it, stopping it in its tracks.

It had made little noise, but Aiden was still focused on his surroundings. He dismissed Lucius’s death in the back of his mind. Aiden had thought that it would bring him some satisfaction to kill him. But it didn’t.

The talk he had gotten with him before his death had changed everything. Minutes passed by, and Aiden left the Nightshade Mansion. He looked into Sylas’s room one last time before leaving, as he knew that he was the real villain that he needed to kill to win over everything.

However, now wasn’t the time. There were still some preparations happening for the final battle. Aiden couldn’t screw everything up.

He walked back into the slums and found the entrance to the separate dimension.

Right as he walked in, a distinct voice spoke up behind him. It was Jake who had his head laid against the dark space behind him.

"So, how did it go?" Jake asked. "Did you kill him?"

Aiden smiled. "You knew?"

"Of course I did. Why else would you take so many risks? It had to be related to your girlfriend. So, is he dead?"

Aiden turned around and continued walking. "He did. However, he told some interesting things before dying."

"Hm...did he? Did it feel good to kill him after all those years?"

However, Jake’s eyes widened when he heard the answer that came out of Aiden’s mouth.

"No, it didn’t feel good."

Jake tried to say something right away, but no words came out of his mouth as Aiden’s aura locked onto him.

Aiden wasn’t interested in talking about what had just happened. All that mattered was that Lucius was dead, even if he wasn’t really a bad person at heart.

He was just broken...just like Aiden had been in the past. So, there had been absolutely no kind of happiness for someone like that. It was just something that had to be done.

A few days passed by, as the final battle should start today.

Aiden hadn’t told Emma about killing Lucius yet. Jake hadn’t either for some reason. The two of them kept it a secret because he wasn’t really a variable in their plan. Therefore, he wouldn’t matter in the long run.

There was one person who was crucial to this plan, Aiden and his fight against Sylas.

That one fight would dictate everything that would happen next.

If Aiden won, then they would win.

If he lost, then everything would be over.

All this time of suffering would have been for absolutely nothing.

That’s why Emma asked Aiden over and over if he felt ready for the fight that would be coming his way. Not only would he have to fight against Sylas, but there was also a big chance that the rest of the founding families’ leaders would show up.

If that were to happen, then Aiden would have to be extremely solid and, more importantly, extremely powerful.

Everyone was nervous about how this day would transpire since it represented all of their combined efforts over literal years. They couldn’t screw this up. Everything needed to be perfect.

Emma and Aiden were sitting a little bit further away from everyone as she told him everything that he would need to do one last time.

Over his five-year-long absence, she had become a lot more confident in herself and her leadership. Before, Aiden needed to tell her everything that she needed to do...but now, it was the complete opposite.

"Emma, you don’t need to tell me what to do again. I have the most simple role out of everyone; I can’t screw this up, you know."

She nodded her head. "I know...it’s just that today is the day. After five years, there’s finally going to be a winner to this damn war. For some reason, the Nightshade Territory also got a lot more movement than usual, as if something important had happened."

Aiden scoffed at those words since he was the reason why there had been so much movement inside the Nightshade Territory.

The moment they realized Lucius was dead. They had increased security by a whole lot, making things a little more complicated for the Reapers to execute their plan. Still, they couldn’t change the date. Not after all this time.

-Bong!

A huge sound resounded through the entirety of the dimension, making Emma even more focused than she had been.

"Let’s go. They’re waiting on us."

Aiden released a sigh as he raised his head.

There were so many people inside the alternate dimension who had joined them over the course of five years. They were all standing in rows in front of their respective officers.

Every one of them had gathered for the final battle.

The final moment where everything would be decided.

Aiden walked onto the stage and looked over into the crowd, where he could see everyone excited, jumping up and down, unable to contain their energy.

-Cough!

One simple cough from Aiden had been enough to make all of them shut their mouths.

It was time for Aiden to make one last speech to rile all of them up.
