Chapter 33 Oliver Arrives



Realizing that he was trapped in some weird type of dome that had invisible walls which were made out of energy.

Aiden, at first, tried to destroy what was surrounding him with his dagger but it didn't work at all, he was still stuck inside of it, not able to get out.

Then, he sat on the ground trying to think about a way to get out of this.

The monster seeing Aiden sit down took advantage of that opportunity and immediately ridiculed Aiden.

"Already giving up? I told you the only way for you to get out is to wait for my master to come and get you, kekeke," said the monster, always starting laughing after finishing a sentence, which deeply annoyed Aiden.

Seeing that the monster was talking again, Aiden tried to talk to him again about that master of his, wanting more information on him

·ƈθm "Do I know this master of yours?" Aiden asked, his voice filled with intrigue.

The monster's eyes gleamed with a mix of amusement and cunning. It relished the opportunity to toy with Aiden's curiosity.

"Maybe, maybe not, who knows?" the monster replied, its voice dripping with mischief.

Aiden's brows furrowed, his mind racing to uncover any clues or connections that could lead him to the identity of the mysterious master. He needed more information, but he had to tread carefully.

"You really are a good little slave," Aiden remarked, a hint of slyness in his tone, hoping to goad the monster into revealing more.

The monster's eyes narrowed, a flicker of anger dancing within them. It struggled to maintain its composure, fighting against the instinct of wanting to please its master.

"Yes, yes, yes, I am. Right? Right? Right?" the monster muttered, its voice growing increasingly erratic.

Aiden realized he had struck a nerve. He needed to exploit this vulnerability, gently prodding for more details without triggering a complete meltdown.

"Why do you like your master that much?" Aiden asked, his voice softening slightly, attempting to appeal to the monster's need for validation.

The monster's frenzied demeanor momentarily subsided, replaced by a contemplative expression. It seemed caught off guard by Aiden's question as if it hadn't considered the reason behind its blind loyalty before.

"I don't know," the monster admitted, a hint of confusion creeping into its voice. "He's just perfect. He's like me, kekeke, able to trick everyone, he's great."

Aiden's curiosity deepened. The mention of trickery intrigued him, as it hinted at the master's manipulative nature. It was a piece of the puzzle he couldn't ignore.

"Trick everyone, how is he doing it?" Aiden pressed, hoping to uncover the master's methods and gain insight into their true intentions.

The monster hesitated for a moment as if weighing the consequences of sharing more information. A sinister smile curled on its lips, an eerie blend of pride and fear.

"I guess, it doesn't matter if I tell you more about him, kekeke, since it will soon be here because of the signal I activated the moment I captured you," said the monster, revealing that his master would soon be coming.

"He's just the best, kekeke, able to trick everyone in this place into believing that he is one of yours. When actually he is not."

Hearing the words that were coming out of the monster's mouth, Aiden was trying to make sense of those with the little information he had of this world.

He started thinking about all the information he had collected until now, the two Empires, the fight between them, and the king's request. Thinking about those things made something click inside his mind of Aiden, connecting the dots from the different pieces of information.

He was able to discern some information with almost certainty, his master was a spy from the Upsilon Empire and a spy which from the way the monster had described him is, currently, in a high position.

To confirm his thoughts Aiden decided to ask the monster, "Is your master an enemy of the Avaloria Empire?"

"Of course, kekeke, why do you think he told me to come and capture you? When he learned the king had given you a mission, he immediately went to see me," said the monster, confirming that his master had heard the king talking about the special mission for Aiden.

"What does he want from me?" said Aiden, his eyes locking onto the monster wanting to learn more.

The monster grinned, "Oh, he has plans for you, actually maybe he only as one. Death, kekeke" said the monster starting to laugh out loud.

"Yeah, death, that's the only outcome for you, kekeke."

Aiden hearing this wasn't that worried because he knew that he was strong for a being in the second trial which meant that he was probably going to be stronger than this master of his. After all, he had dealt with the monster without even struggling. His master surely wasn't going to be that strong if he even used a monster to approach him.

He, also, wasn't the king's assassin but Aiden Nightshade. He was probably stronger than some being from the second trial.

If his master was confident, he would have come here by himself and fought Aiden to his death, but he didn't which made Aiden think that he was probably scared or something similar to that.

"Then why is your master still not here? Is he scared of me?" asked Aiden, making fun of the monster.

The monster gritted his teeth, "Master, scared, never, it's impossible he is the strongest I know," continued the monster.

Suddenly, the monster turned his head toward one of the sides of the dome and started shouting.

"He has arrived, kekeke, you are done. He will kill in a single strike. Wait I need a better angle to see the splendor of my master," said the monster completely losing it, his god had finally arrived.

Aiden started to feel some vibration from the dome and there he saw him, a man was entering the dome wearing a helmet and some armor, he looked prepared to finish Aiden at all costs.

"For this fight, I will need your help, he's strong." said Oliver talking to the shapeshifter who was trying to get a better view.
