Aiden kept trying to find an opening but no matter how much he tried, he wasn't able to.
He had no idea why, but after almost killing the person in front of him, it was like he had changed. As if, someone or something had taken over him as he made moves which weren't anything like before.
'Maybe that was the effect of the light?' thought Aiden, as he kept trying to find something while constantly attacking the Prodigy, not letting him a single moment to relax.
Even, if wasn't able to attack him directly, then he would make that he wouldn't be able to move his arms by the end of that fight, as Aiden was almost sure that he had a lot more endurance than him, having trained like a maniac in his past life and in this life.
'Maybe he really is another person?' thought Aiden, as he knew that everything was possible in this world.
He had seen many things since arriving and this wouldn't be his first time being so surprised over something. In fact, it wasn't that ridiculous that a skill would be able to make you stronger by impersonating you or something like that.
However, that still didn't explain the metallic sound which he had heard when hitting his neck.
Had he really turned his skin into metal?
There was only one way to know and that was to try and do the same attack that he once did which was exactly what he was currently trying to do.
It wasn't going to be easy, as he was much better than earlier, but Aiden continued to persevere as he knew that he had to win.
Because if he lost, the rest of his team would surely lose this fight and on the same occasion this tournament.
So, he continued attacking without a single moment of pause, knowing that his opponent wouldn't be able to keep this up for an eternity.
Then, another opening appeared in his opponent's defence and he instantly went for it, as he once again aimed for the neck of his opponent.
'Now, what's going to happen?' thought Aiden, as he could that his dagger was getting closer and closer to his neck.
Then, the same blinding light as earlier started to appear. However, this time, Aiden was ready for it as he kept his eyes open as he needed to see what sort of trick was happening.
However, even with his eyes open, it was difficult to see something as the light was just too strong and blocked most of his vision.
But he was able to get a glance of what was happening inside all of that light, the sound seemed to be created out of thin air, as he could see the neck of his opponent, completely disappearing as if it hadn't been there in the first place.
'Who am I even fighting against?' thought Aiden, as he just couldn't make any sense of what he had just seen.
If he was confused before, then he was even more confused this time.
He had seen the neck of his opponent disappear. However, when it disappeared, it seemed to be able to stop his strike and create a metallic sound, just what the hell was that skill?
Could it only be used on its neck?
That was the thing that Aiden wondered the most about, because if he couldn't use it on his chest then it wouldn't be that much of a problem as he would be able to simply kill him without much problem because he had noticed that his opponent started to have some gaps in its defence.
His opponent wasn't able to block all his attacks as efficiently as before as he made some larger movements than necessary which caused many openings in his opponent's defence.
Aiden used this to try and attack his chest this time as he wanted to see if he was right that he could only use his skill on his neck.
He moved his dagger backwards as he swiftly slashed in the direction of the opponent's chest which started to emit light.
'Fuck, what is this? What is this overpowered skill?' thought Aiden, as he simply couldn't understand what was happening at all.
'Guess, I'll have to try something big,' thought Aiden, as he knew that if he didn't then he wouldn't have any way of winning this fight as he couldn't hurt the guy in front of him.
Well, he could but he wouldn't be able to kill any time soon.
'Guess, I have no choice but to use that,' thought Aiden, as his surroundings started to tremble a little.

Meanwhile, Emma, Olivia, and Logan were facing the rest of the enemy team.
They had the advantage as they were currently in a three versus two. And one of the two people that they were facing didn't seem all that great.
It was the swordsman that Aiden had seen, he knew that he wasn't incredible as he didn't have an inventory and he had been quite naive at the start of the fight, rushing in without any of his teammates backing him off.
There was also another problem that really didn't help their chances.
The swordsman needed to go past this mass of muscles that was currently in front of him, blocking his view.
He knew that it wouldn't be simple at all to go through, but this was simply ridiculous.
Each time that he tried to attack Logan, his sword would get stuck inside of him, and he would be unable to pull it out. It simply made no sense, just how this feeble-looking guy transformed into this mass of muscles who kept bleeding without even flinching.
It was crazy, Logan kept bleeding since the start of his transformation, however not once had he seemed in pain as no sound escaped his mouth.
Well, he had his occasional roars that just showed that he really wasn't in his right mind.
Then, the swordsman tried to outspeed Logan, as he ran on one side of it as fast as he could as he needed to reach that backline where Olivia was situated with her long stick rising in the air.
Olivia occasionally sent a fireball, but her fire rate had decreased since earlier as her mana was starting to become quite scarce. She needed to make sure that there wouldn't be any problem with using bigger spells that required more mana, which was why she was currently not launching a torrent of skills.
Emma, who was still hidden in one of the trees around, was currently looking not at the fight below her, but at Aiden who was fighting like a madman completely isolated from the rest of them.
There was also another reason why she looked this way, the light.
She had seen some light come from that direction and couldn't help but be curious about it as she had absolutely no idea who had managed to create such intense light.
Then, she focused on Aiden's shape and how well he was currently doing as he didn't seem to have any signs of being hurt.
'I'm glad you're okay,' she thought, satisfied that Aiden was currently winning his fight.
But how could she have known of the next move that Aiden would pull off would be a crazy one, and all because of the unkillable Prodigy?
Her reaction would surely be one of shock, as she had not seen him pull out such a big move ever in her entire life.
But then, after making sure that everything was alright, she redirected her attention onto the current fight that was taking place under her, as it really was the most important one.
Because if they managed to win before Aiden finished his fight then they would be able to help him kill the prodigy who seems to be quite the tough opponent.
Redirecting her attention onto this fight, she drew her bow once again preparing to shoot an arrow in the direction of the swordsman as she was almost sure that he would die if she shot it.
She, also, didn't want to use her family technique to end the fight quickly as it was her trump card and not a lot of people knew what the Everheart technique would even be able to do, which was why she was keeping it in the back of her mind.
Then, as she shot the arrow, another piercing sound was heard, as it went in the direction of the swordsman who was currently running around Logan as fast as he possibly could.
It wasn't going to be an easy shot as her target was currently running, but she didn't mind it at all, as she concentrated on breathing in and out making sure that she wouldn't miss.
Then, the arrow was released and was getting closer and closer to the swordsman who hadn't even noticed it yet as it entered his head.
Another message appeared in front of everyone saying that another person had been killed.
Was Aiden really the assassin or was it Emma?
She had already killed two people while Aiden hadn't been able to kill anyone.
Sure, she had killed the easy targets, but it was still weird for her to be leading in terms of kills achieved.
