He hadn't purchased the sword yet, and he didn't waste time saying it to the system,
"But I haven't purchased the sword yet".
<Then purchase it now>
"How many skill points would it cost me to purchase it? I don't quite remember".
<It would cost you a total of 5,000 Skill points>
According to what Aiden remembered, he had more than enough skill points to purchase this item. But purchasing it now would reduce his skill points, but that doesn't matter.
What mattered was that after purchasing it, it would help him loosen the rope around him and escape from this place. So his skill points wouldn't be reduced for nothing.
<So is host purchasing the sword item?>
"Definitely". Aiden responded.
___
<Host has purchased sword, 5,000 Skill points have been deducted from his skill points>
___
Aiden saw this notification, but the sword didn't appear in his hands. Though he was tied to the chair, his hands were still somehow free for the sword to appear in them and for him to make use of it.
So he uttered to the system at that moment, "How come the sword didn't appear in my hands? I thought I'd purchased it already".
<You've purchased it, but for you to make use of it, 5 Skill points would be deducted from your skill points again>
And it was then that Aiden recalled, yeah, the system had told him this before. This was something he was aware of, it skipped his mind.
<The sword would appear in your hands right now>
And immediately, the sword appeared in Aiden's hands. The sharp part of the sword was lying on his left palm, while the bottom of the sword was lying on his right palm.
And the sword looked nice, you know, for slashing, stabbing, and so on. And at that moment, Aiden got the system's notification,
___
<Host has taken the sword item>
<5 Skill points have been deducted from his skill points>
___
Now, it was about time to cut off this rope around him. Doing it wouldn't be that easy 'cause of the way he was tied to the chair, he wasn't that comfortable. But it wasn't impossible, he could do it.
Holding the bottom of the sword with his right hand, he began cutting the rope. Now, the rope was strong, so cutting one side of it to loosen up everything wouldn't be that easy.
And the fact that he wasn't using enough force due to the way his body was tied to the chair made it worse...
..But as said, it wasn't impossible.
He kept on cutting and cutting until the rope loosened, he did it. And he didn't waste time standing up from the chair, he was free, he was f**king free. He threw the rope away, and somehow, he couldn't believe he was free...he had been tied to this chair for days now while being released sometimes.
He was holding the sword in his right hand, and this was the thought that ran through his mind at that moment,
'If only the system had revealed this to me since, I would have escaped a long time ago. Well, it's time to get out of this place'.
..But no, it wouldn't happen smoothly, something was gonna happen.
He planned to return the sword to his item panel before departing from this place...but three of the assassins had already gotten close to the edifice where he was in. They were coming to kill him just as Asher instructed, each of them was with their swords.
And they planned on doing what Asher said, one of them would do the job of killing him, and the remaining two would carry his body and drop it at a place where people can see it. It was evening currently, and they were coming to end his life in the evening just as Asher instructed once again.
..Aiden was about to tell the system to return the sword to his item panel when the assassins bashed into the compartment.
And they couldn't believe what their eyes were seeing. The captive wasn't tied to the chair anymore, he had loosened the rope around him. And according to what they discerned, he did it with the sword in his hand.
..Now, the question was, where did he get a sword from? Or was there another person in here?
They glanced around, but sighted no one, so where did this boy get this f**king sword from? They were so surprised. But well, can he use it? Was he skilled enough to defend himself with that sword in his hand when they trying to kill him? They don't think so.
ƥαṇdαηθνε| So one of the assassins began running toward Aiden to slash him, he wanted to end his life just as Asher instructed.
'Damn! This is bad'. That was the thought that ran through Aiden's mind glancing at the assassin running toward him.
The assassin reached where Aiden was standing and swung his sword with speed to slash him...but Aiden did what he had to do. He moved back with speed but wasn't fast enough.
The sharp edge of the sword sliced his stomach but didn't go deep, but he still felt pain from it. He moved back and squatted immediately with his right palm on the ground.
From the expression on his face, one could tell he felt pain from the slashing. It would have been brutal if the slicing went deep. He wasn't even glancing at the assassins right now, and blood was dripping out of that spot where the sword touched him.
..But he was sure of something, he wouldn't die here, he wouldn't let them kill him.
Still squatting with his right palm on the ground, he called out to the system from the mind,
'System'.
<Yes, host>
'I want to return the sword to my item panel'.
And immediately, the sword disappeared from his hand...and the assassins were shocked. What just happened now? Did the sword just disappear from his hand? Does this boy have some kind of power or something?
The assassin was supposed to run toward Aiden to complete the slashing, to end his life once and for all...but what he saw just now made him stand on one spot.
Aiden remembered the 'heal' skill in his defense skill panel. And according to what he remembered, that skill had automatically been unlocked for him. He needed to heal this injury in his stomach before doing anything else, he was feeling pain from it.
He didn't need to call out on the system for what he was about to do right now. All he has to do was say some words, and some magic would happen right now. So he said in his mind,
'Activate heal'.
<Heal has been activated>
<5 Skill points have been deducted from your skill points>
..And at that moment, the little injury on Aiden's stomach began healing.
And the assassins just stood there with their mouths open in awe. They were barely believing what they were seeing right now, look at the injury on this boy's stomach healing?
'Does he possess the healing ability too?'. These were the thoughts that ran through the assassins' minds. They just stood in one spot without moving.
The injury on Aiden's stomach healed, he wasn't feeling pain anymore. Then he stood up as he wasn't squatting anymore. The assassins were glancing at him with surprise on their faces, and Aiden was glancing at them as well.
Immediately, he called out on the system from the mind once again, 'System'.
<Yes, host>
'Does any of them here possess any of the minor abilities?'.
<Only one of them, and he possesses the high jump ability. But all of them possess affinities>
Aiden could have checked out their status to know who possessed affinities or not, but there was no time for that. The system had already told him what he needed to know.
All of them possess affinities, and only one of them possesses one of the minor abilities...and it was the high jump ability. Well, that was nothing compared to the skill Aiden was about to make use of now.
With a stern look on his face, he uttered in his mind once again,
'Activate speed dash'.
<Speed dash has been activated>
<5 Skill points have been deducted from your skill points>
'And it's done'. Aiden thought to himself the moment he got the system's notification.
The assassin that sliced Aiden in the stomach felt he could do something extraordinary again, so it was best he kills him now. It's time to end standing in one spot and glancing at him...
..He began moving toward Aiden with killing intent, he planned on slashing the hell out of him he wouldn't be able to heal the injuries...he'll just give up the ghost.
