The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World

Chapter 295 295 - Combination of Skills

However, it wasn't anything that Aiden had seen before, he couldn't see the skills at all. The only way for Aiden to know that such spells had been launched in his direction was to look with the [Eyes of Truth] at the director's body.

But, even if Aiden did that, he had no idea how to react to those skills as he couldn't even a single one of them.

Out of nowhere, an explosion resounded to his right, followed by the director telling him something.

"Are you sure that you want to keep your distance from me?"

Hearing that, Aiden knew that he had no choice if he kept firing those spells, which would result in absolutely no damage to the director.

He had seen how easily he had blocked his icicles and his fireballs.

'Can't you find how to beat faster stupid skill,' Aiden complained as [Mind of an Assassin] was still not showing any positive results.

In every single scenario, Aiden's shadow had lost miserably.

'Is there really no way for me to win?' Aiden thought as he still dashed forward activating [Lightning Steps].

This action caused some mana from Aiden's reserve to leave his body quickly. However, he still continued to push through, not losing a single opportunity.

He moved at a much faster pace than he ever did as decided to get in close range.

"Not so fast," the director muttered as a portal appeared right in front of Aiden's face.

When he entered that portal, he was sent back to his original position before having activated this skill of his.

'Is this the power of the space affinity?' Aiden thought as he had never thought that such a thing would be possible at all.

That person in front of him had just created a portal that was connected to another one.

And he had done it to a person who was moving so fast that no one should be able to keep up with him. Just how strong was the person in front of him?

If he was that strong, Aiden couldn't even imagine how strong the heads of the founding families were.

Aiden had never seen them fight, but he knew from the aura surrounding them that they were all stronger than that man.

'Fuck, am I really that far away from their strength,' Aiden thought, frustrated.

He thought that his strength had doubled or even tripled from the training with the Emberbane family, however, he couldn't be further away from the truth. That was simply a fact.

"Want to try something else?" The director said with arrogance contained in the tone of his voice.

'I need to gain time... what can I do?' Aiden thought trying to find a solution to his problem.

He first tried to do the exact same thing once again, however, another portal appeared in front of him. Aiden tried dodging it, but he wasn't able to do so at all.

He was back to his original point.

'Spells don't work, I can't get into close-range, just what can I do?' Aiden thought, thinking about all the skills that he had at his disposition.

'Let's try to use [Veil of Darkness] I might be able to go through his portal with that skill,' Aiden thought as he remembered reading the effects of that skill.

He didn't know if he was going to be able to pull it off, however, he didn't lose anything trying.

That's why he once again used [Lightning Steps] combined with the skill that he had won in the auction [Veil of Darkness].

'Let's see what happens now,' the director thought as he observed Aiden not attacking him.

He wanted to see what he could pull out of his hat next. At the moment, he had to admit that he was quite unimpressed with the current performance of Aiden.

'He's still doing the same thing? Does it think something will change now,' the director thought getting less and less impressed with the performance of his new disciple.

He thought that he would shock him with his skills, however, it seemed that the director had overestimated all of his abilities.

Then, as the portal appeared right in front of Aiden, the director almost stopped looking as he knew that the same thing would happen once again.

However, contrary to all of his expectations, Aiden went through the portal without any problem.

It was as if the portal hadn't interacted with him at all, as if Aiden wasn't part of this world at all.

'Just what did he do? Is that something he learned in his country?' The director thought as he knew that Aiden wasn't from here at all.

'I've never seen anyone go through that spell without being affected, just how did he do such a thing?' The director thought.

He needed to know what sort of skill that Aiden had used to get through it because when he would do so. He would be able to make his spell stronger, as it seemed that there was a way to get past it that he completely ignored.

'Fuck, I need to get away, now,' the director thought as he teleported back from Aiden.

He knew that he needed to keep quite a safe distance from his opponent or else he would suffer the consequences.

The director wasn't stupid, he knew that the moment that Aiden got close, he would be on the losing side of this fight. Sure, he had been quite arrogant at the start of the fight, but that was because he knew that he had those two skills, portal creation and teleportation.

Basically, the only way for Aiden to reach him would be for him to move faster than the time it took him to cast teleportation.

While all this was happening inside the director's mind, Aiden was currently celebrating over what he had just pulled off, it was honestly quite an impressive achievement as he really hadn't gotten such an idea before.

"I did it! It really worked," Aiden celebrated out loud as he looked behind him, noticing that he really had gone through that stupid portal.

However, that was only the first step as he looked back toward the director, and he noticed that he was still far away from him.

'Did he teleport away? Just what is this stupid spell? I'll never get even close to him,' Aiden thought as his skill, [Mind of an Assassin] was still activated trying to find a way to beat the director.

However, it was the first time since Aiden had started using it that it was taking so long to find a single solution, normally it would take less than a few seconds. But, it had now been a few minutes, and he still had no news regarding that skill.

'Fuck, whatever, let's keep going,' Aiden thought as he started running once again toward the director, this time deactivating his skill [Veil of Darkness] as his mana was running quite low.

This time he didn't waste a single second as he flew up in the air, completely surprising the old man who didn't think that such a thing was possible without magic.

'Let's see what you'll do now,' Aiden thought.
