The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 102 Dark Place

Chapter 102  Dark Place

A couple of minutes later after Finrod had entered the challenge, he came out of it.

But, just like all the ones before him that had entered, he was battered.

He didn't look hurt, it was only his clothes that made him look that way.

As soon as he came out, Aiden who wanted some information about the challenge tried to go talk to him, but as we were about to, the announcer interrupted him.

"You think you can use your friends to help you win?" said the announcer, a smile appearing in the corner of his mouth.

Aiden didn't respond and waited for his turn. He had tried to gain more information to have more insurance about having those two VIP Entries, but it's not like he needed them.

His last month of training without the distraction of anyone, it wasn't for anything.

He hadn't gotten stronger in terms of stats, but he had learned to better use his body.

Even if his stats hadn't gone up, his overall power did.

"So, now, is it going to be you? Or this beautiful young girl?" said the announcer, looking at Emma with a creepy look.

Seeing him look her way, Emma discreetly covered her assets as she wasn't interested in having him look at her this way.

Emma not wanting to be looked at this way, decided that she would be next to go in.

"Maybe you won't have to go in," she said winking at him and entering the little portal in front of her.

Aiden, this time, thought that maybe Emma would be able to succeed in beating the level five that the announcer had talked about.

She had beaten him a month ago, so she had strength.

But still, it depended on what the challenge inside actually was.

If it was a strength one then both Emma and Aiden would have difficulty as they didn't possess much strength.

They were more of the agile type, and who knew what was on the other side of this portal?

"Aren't you afraid for your girlfriend, what if she gets hurt?" said the man, trying to scare Aiden a little.

"She's not my girlfriend," he said in a stoic tone.

But then, his mind also thought of something else.

'Well... she could've been. No, you need to think about strength... Yeah... right, strength. That's the most important,' thought Aiden, steeling his mind on the previous decision that he had made.

"She isn't, oh then I guess she's free," he said, licking his lips.

Hearing this, Gerald who was on the side, quickly intervened as he didn't like what he was hearing at all.

"I wouldn't if I were you," he said in a dark tone, completely different than the one which he would usually use when talking to Emma or even Aiden.

Feeling the aura surrounding Gerald, the announcer panicked a little.

"I was only joking, no need to get all angry, ahaha," he said trying to calm the sudden change in the atmosphere.

Gerald seeing him back off right away didn't create a scene and let him go.

"But, young man, what do you think is behind that portal?"

"I don't know, what do you think?" said Aiden trying to trick the announcer into tell him.

But it didn't work as the attempt Aiden had made was well... bad.

Who would have even fallen for such a thing?

Then, small noises could be heard coming out of the portal, it looked like Emma had finished her attempt at the challenge and was coming out.

She was also battered, her clothes becoming a little revealing as it seemed that she had some problems inside. However, she wasn't hurt physically from the look of it, just like Finrod.

Then, when Aiden looked at the man in front of him, he noticed a big smile on his face.

A big creepy smile just like the one he had given earlier.

Aiden didn't know why but seeing him look at Emma this way, was making him angry.

As if what he was feeling was jealousy. But he quickly dismissed that thought as it was impossible, he had pushed her away and he didn't even care about her.

"I guess, she wasn't able to beat level five, ahaha," said the man as he already knew before Emma had even announced it.

"Then, off you go young man, and good luck, you'll probably need it," he said as he pushed Aiden in the back practically dragging him in.

As he entered, the usual beeping sound could be heard in his mind.

*BEEP*

*BEEP*

In fact, it was a sort of calming sound as it had been a while since Aiden had even heard it.

[Entering an unknown space.]

[All your injuries will be healed when leaving this space.]

'Um, I guess that's why only their clothes were in bad condition when coming out,' he thought quickly analyzing the information.

Then, without wasting time, he looked in front of him, but there was still nothing, he was in a dark place without an ounce of light.

In fact, he hadn't looked in front of him, he had simply raised his head, but couldn't perceive anything.

Without any light, he had no idea if there was actually anything surrounding him. Then, looking behind him, thinking that maybe he could go back through the portal.

But, it wasn't there anymore as another beeping sound was heard in his mind.

*BEEP*

[The portal will appear once you are done.]

'That's just great... great! Am I really stuck here?' he thought carefully stepping forward in front of him scared to hit something with his legs.

But there was nothing, as he continued going forward thinking that maybe something would happen if he continued doing so.

'Just what is this? Am I even in the right place?' thought Aiden, not understanding what type of challenge this might be.

Then, as he questioned whether or not he was in the right place, a robotic voice spoke.

"Level 1."
