As he was moving toward Aiden to slash the hell out of him, Aiden was completely ready for him. Reaching where Aiden was, he swung his sword with speed aiming to slash Aiden in the neck.
But by the time the sword was supposed to slash someone, Aiden wasn't there anymore, the sword just swung past. He was now at the side of the assassin some meters away from him.
The assassin glanced at where Aiden was currently, and he was just like, 'What just happened now? How did that happen? Does he possess the speed ability too?'.
..Yeah, Aiden was doing something extraordinary again...the assassins couldn't be more surprised.
The assassin began moving toward Aiden again. And on reaching him, he swung his sword again while shouting,
"Arghhhhhh".
But the sword didn't still touch Aiden, he was able to dodge it again with the help of the speed dash skill. And immediately, Aiden landed a nice punch on the assassin's groin.
The punch came with so much force the moment it touched the assassin's groin, it weakened him a lot. The other two assassins were just standing there glancing at what happened...look at this small boy making use of the speed ability and punching their comrade's groin?
It should be so easy to kill this boy just as it was easy to capture him, so why was this happening? When did he gain all these powers? They had no idea it was his system backing him up massively.
One out of the two assassins began moving toward Aiden to do what his fellow assassin couldn't do...and that's slashing him. He reached where Aiden was and swung his sword with speed to slash him.
But making use of the speed dash skill, Aiden was able to dodge it by moving to the side with speed as the sword swung past. And Aiden immediately landed a nice punch on the assassin's private part as well causing him severe pain.
ƥαṇdαηθνε| He held his private part with both hands and knelt on the floor. Then Aiden focused his gaze on the last one, and that one was about to make use of his power element.
He was a D-rank bender, he possessed the wind affinity, and by now, he was already transferring mana toward his sword and gathering a nice amount of wind. The moment he had gathered enough wind, he swung his sword as a wind slash was heading toward Aiden.
With the speed dash skill, Aiden was able to dodge it like it was nothing as it moved past. Then he darted toward the assassin with speed and landed a nice punch on his stomach. The punch came with immense speed and force, so though Aiden's hands weren't that big...he felt pain.
He would have loved to see their faces since they'd always been wearing masks whenever they visited him. But there was no time for that, all he wanted to do was get out of this place...and it was sure thing he was gonna achieve it.
Aiden did all these with his school bag on, it wasn't a disturbance for him at all. As Aiden was walking out of the compartment, one of the assassins Aiden punched in the groin that was still feeling pain from it voiced out,
"Don't let him go, don't let him escape, we have to kill him".
And hearing that, the other two assassins began moving toward Aiden though they were still feeling pain...they had to force themselves to walk.
Discerning that they had started heading toward him, Aiden swiveled his head around and glanced at them. He didn't want to waste time fighting them anymore. His plan right now was to make use of the speed dash ability and zoom out of this forest with speed.
..But glancing front...he sighted Ethan and some other people heading toward him.
Those people seemed like warriors, and they were all heading toward the old edifice. Ethan had already sighted Aiden by now, and he increased his pace...his son was still alive.
The assassins were heading toward Aiden, but the moment they sighted Ethan and the other warriors behind him, they changed direction...all of them began running toward the left-hand side of the forest.
Setting eyes on them, Ethan had already discerned they were the assassins behind Aiden's capture. He could easily tell from the way they were dressed and the way they covered their faces with masks.
..And you know what? He doesn't plan on letting all of them escape...even if he could kill one.
Making use of his speed ability, he was now standing so close to one of the assassins though the assassin was on the move...he ran with immense speed.
He was really angry at that moment, and before the assassin could do anything, a strong punch landed on his face which caused him to bleed at that moment and fall to the ground. The moment he landed on the ground, he spat out more blood.
He was wearing a mask, so he bled behind the mask, the blood he spat out stained the mask.
..The punch was so massive he bled out the moment it touched him...it was the punch from an angry man.
The moment the assassin landed on the ground, Ethan took off the mask he was wearing as his face was being revealed at that moment. And for the first time, Aiden saw one of the assassins' faces.
"I don't need to ask who was the main person behind everything 'cause I know you wouldn't answer. But do you know what you guys have put me and my family through? I'm sure my son has suffered a lot in you guys' hands. I'm definitely gonna end your life here".
..The assassin didn't utter a single word, he just lay there glancing at Ethan with blood stains beside his mouth.
Ethan drew out his sword from his scabbard, and with force, he stabbed it into the assassin's chest ending his life immediately. Then he side-glanced, the other assassins must have gone really far.
He could choose to chase them and even catch up to them, but he decided not to...at least, they hadn't killed his son, Aiden was alive.
He glanced at Aiden, darted toward him, and hugged him while uttering,
"My son, you're alive, do you know how long we've been looking for you?".
Though Aiden stink a little, he didn't mind that, he still hugged him tightly, raised him, then dropped him back to the ground. And the words that flowed out of Aiden's mouth at that moment were,
"You were looking for me?".
"Yes, every single day, I searched for you with my fellow warriors and knights though I was distressed. We searched communities, people's houses, and so on...we had no single idea this was where you were since".
"We searched for you to the best of our capabilities, your father put a lot of effort into searching for you. A lot has happened after you went missing, people were even thinking you've been killed already. It's just a good thing you've been found now". One of the warriors that accompanied Ethan to this place voiced out.
'I know my dad wouldn't stay without searching around for me'. Aiden thought to himself.
"We were so worried, your mum has been crying a lot since you went missing. Do you know the person behind your capture?". Ethan inquired of Aiden.
"No, I never saw his face. He came here numerous times after my capture, but he was always wearing a mask. But according to what he told me, he despises you, that's why he did all this. And they definitely had plans of killing me, I almost lost my life this evening before you guys arrived". Aiden responded.
..And at that moment, Ethan began wondering who that person could be. According to what his son just told him now, it was someone that despises him that was doing all this.
It was as expected, the person would have to despise him to capture his only son. But who was that person? Was it among the natives of this kingdom? Or was it one of the officials? This was something Ethan couldn't fathom.
So the question would keep on lingering unless the king does something about it and the person behind it is revealed...that's if the person is among the officials.
"How did you guys find out I was here?". Aiden's voice resounded.
Ethan pointed to the man that told him he knew where Aiden was, and truly, he knew where he was...he was the one that led them to this place.
While they were hurrying to this place, the man explained to Ethan how he discovered where Aiden was...and Ethan understood all.
