Chapter 442 - A Illusion, A Trick...
After uttering those words, Aiden turned around as he placed the fact that the Everheart Family was in great danger.
As much as he wanted to go and help them...he simply couldn't. He needed to put his own priorities in front of everything else as a lot more people were depending on him, considering whether he would fail or not.
His battle against the founding families' leaders would determine the outcome of the war. So, he needed to forget about everything that could potentially affect him against them. Nevertheless, what he really needed to do right now was find where they had headed.
He thought about how to do that without wasting any mana, but he realized that he would have no other choice but to use Mana. He activated his movement technique and started moving around extremely throughout the mansion. He seemed like a blur of lightning for everyone around. But he was truly able to see everything surrounding him.
'Just where are you fuckers...' Aiden thought with a frown.
Soon enough, he managed to find them as they were in the middle of a huge space, and from how it looked in the surroundings. Aiden managed to realize that they were standing in the middle of the training grounds of the Nightshade Family.
"Ah, you're finally here..." Sylas said with a smile. "It took you longer than I thought. So, you decided to give up on your girlfriend's survival to kill me. Well, I can't say I'm surprised. I would've done the same."
Aiden frowned. "She's going to be fine."
"Oh, right...keep thinking that. You'll see her without a head attached to her body when you return."
Sylas gave his best to make Aiden doubt all of his choices, and it worked.
Aiden focused on pushing Emma's well-being to the back of his mind, closing himself off from all of his emotions just like he had done so many times in the past.
The rage within himself, suddenly vanished. The worry, the anxiety...also vanished. He was now emotionless as he took a step forward.
He suddenly vanished from where he was standing and reappeared right next to Sylas. He had tried to cut off his neck in one swift motion, but Sylas had been on alert, blocking his strike, surprising both Thorin and Melinda as they hadn't even seen him move.
He couldn't help her, and if she died...then so be it.
Aiden moved so fast that no one could see him. He appeared right in front of Sylas, where he aimed for his head.
He tried to slash it in one swift motion, and that's exactly what he did as his head fell on the ground, slowly rolling away.
He deactivated the [Black Hole] right away, which saved Melinda from being pulled inside.
Aiden had done it.
He had killed Sylas.
However, it had felt way too easy.
There had to be something more to it. There just had to be.
Aiden frowned as he looked at Sylas's head rolling on the ground, and that's when he noticed that there was something wrong with it.
It was slowly turning into particles as if it had been a monster in the first place.
Aiden turned his head sharply as he heard Melinda cry on his left...
"I-I'm sorry, Aiden. I was forced to do this..."
Aiden's eyes widened. "No, no, no. EMMA!"
