[Mind of An Assassin has activated.]

The skill seemed to activate deep inside the body of Aiden but he couldn’t quite remember where this skill came from, he could feel he had used it once before since arriving here. However, he was sure of one thing, he hadn’t used this skill on Earth, not once.

Did he create this skill by coming over to this world? Questions started to appear inside his mind, I mean it wasn’t even written on his status panel.

‘Wait wasn’t there a skill that I couldn’t access any information about? Maybe that’s the skill that is activating right now, but I have no idea how I activated or created such a skill.’ thought Aiden, confused about how he had gotten a skill out of nowhere.

However, those thoughts completely vanished as the skill seemed to take over his mind, and he wasn’t his usual self anymore, it seemed as if all he thought about was killing the enemy that was in front of him. Multiple scenarios started to appear in his mind, it seemed the skill was trying to show the most efficient path to kill the opponent in front of him.

In those paths, sometimes he died, and sometimes he ran for his life, but after a while, he finally arrived at one scenario where he had utterly dominated the beast that was in front of him.

This path where he overwhelmed the beast seemed to appear in some sort of blur that resembled himself, he could a shadow of himself that was doing the same thing that he saw inside of his head. He could now see how to kill this beast because he could see the image of himself fighting the beast before it even happened.

He decided to execute the same movement as his shadow forgetting everything that surrounded him, the trial, the monster, and the world he was now in. None of that mattered anymore, his mind was telling him that the only thing that mattered as of now is the path that was shown to him, to dominate the beast in front of him as efficiently as possible.

Following the movements shown, he dodged the attack the Cyclops had just launched without even seeing it because his stats were not on par with the ones of the Cyclops, but his skill compensated and made him able to hurt him.

The red aura that was enveloping Aiden was starting to grow stronger and thicker, it seemed that the aura represented the intensity at which Aiden is using the skill and he seemed to be pushing the skill to his absolute limits because the aura was getting bigger and bigger that even Ava was able to see it from distance.

‘What is happening to him? Did he activate some secret skill of his’ thought Ava, shocked by the scene she was witnessing with her very eyes. She knew that the young man in front of her would become a force to be reckoned with especially if he is already this strong in the first trial.

He continued to follow the movements shown to him and because of that, he was able to hit the Cyclops over and over again without ever being in danger, it seemed that the scenario that he had just seen in his mind was taking of everything, Aiden only needed to comply with it.

The Cyclops was now starting to have some difficulty regenerating the wounds that were caused by the arrows and the constant hitting of Aiden. He was submerged in blood if he didn’t have that skill he would have killed it a long time ago.

Suddenly, a message from the system appeared in front of him.

[Enraged phase of the boss monster is now activating.]

‘What does this mean, was he not at his full strength, will his stupid skill be even more strengthened?’ thought Aiden, not knowing what the changes of the Cyclops were going to be, scared of it becoming even more powerful than it was.

The Cyclops seemed to start to change, he was becoming taller and bigger. The monster entering the enraged phase probably meant that the monster would have an increase in all stats except for intelligence where it would decrease.

Seeing this didn’t change much for Aiden because another path was being created right in front of him, he could see his shadow dying over and over again until the skill seemed to find a way to kill this monster in front of him. But it didn’t seem to be quite as simple as earlier because the shadow was currently retreating and not fighting this monster head-on, it seemed he would have to use some type of strategy to defeat it.

He followed his shadow, which guided him back to where Ava was, and he started talking to Ava about the plan he was shown in his mind and her role in it. However, he didn’t reveal that he got this plan because of the skill he was currently using.

Hearing Aiden talk about his plan, scared, Ava, out of her mind not knowing if it was going to work since it seemed to be quite risky. However, looking at the confidence coming off Aiden, it seemed that this plan would work no matter what.

After understanding what she needed to do, she started running toward the monster, shouting and moving around him trying to get his attention.

Aiden, on the other hand, continued to follow the path that was being shown to him and he was currently going through abandoned buildings of the city trying to find an angle to arrive behind the Cyclops to try and get a clean strike on him.

The plan of having Ava distract the Cyclops seemed to have worked because it was starting to forget about his surroundings only watching Ava as she ran away from it, this was probably a side effect of the monster becoming [Enraged].

“Now!” shouted Aiden out of nowhere, appearing right behind the Cyclops still following the path shown to him.

Hearing her cue, Ava got her bow and charged an arrow aimed right at the throat of the Cyclops. Aiden, on the other hand, had his mace out charging an attack at the neck of the Cyclops.

It seemed that they were trying to go for a combo attack and were trying to kill the boss monster with the second method Ava had mentioned which was complete decapitation.

And they proceeded with the combo attack, Aiden followed the image of himself perfectly and he swung his mace as shown, but the momentum of his swing was starting to decrease as it reached the middle of the neck of the monster. That’s when the arrow launched by Ava entered the play as it pierced the piece of flesh which seemed to block the mace from continuing the decapitation.

Regaining momentum, the mace was able to follow through the neck of the Cyclops completely decapitating it.

A message from the system popped up as his head touched the ground.

[You have defeated the boss monster.]
