BXBX NOVEL Chapter 56 Killing The Last General
"Do you really have to take me to the castle?" asked Aiden trying to change the mind of Matthew.
"Listen, if you did nothing wrong there is nothing to fear. It\'s just the way you answered my questions which I found quite weird."
Aiden kept silent as he had nothing else to say.
Aiden knew why Matthew was taking him to the castle. It was now time to find a way to kill him before reaching the castle.
Because once they arrived there, the task that Aiden would have to accomplish is going to be a lot more complicated than before as he is going to be suspected.
\'How can I make him go off the main street?\' thought Aiden as they were currently walking on the main street which was surrounded on both sides by building with people who were currently watching what was going on as they had been woken up by the alarm.
"Look it seems like they caught a criminal," said one of the people who were watching Aiden from their homes.
"Maybe he\'s the reason for the alarm."
"Put him in jail!"
As he heard the people shouting around him, Aiden didn\'t even care as he simply continued walking without even having a reaction to those words.
Instead, he was still trying to find a way to get off the main street.
"Hmm, sorry to ask but could I go pee?" asked Aiden as this was the only thing he had thought of at the moment as the castle was getting closer and closer.
"You want to pee? Right now?" asked Matthew as he looked at Aiden noticing that he wasn\'t stressed in the least.
\'Maybe he didn\'t do anything wrong,\' thought Matthew.
After all, any person who would have something to hide would be stressed out of their mind after being caught, but as he continued watching Aiden, he noticed that he was extremely calm as his heart was beating at a normal rate.
But he didn\'t want to take any chances, so he still decided to bring him back to the castle but he didn\'t that it would hurt for Aiden to go pee.
After all, what could happen?
"Sure, you can go pee," said Matthew as he got off the main street and went toward the forest which was at least 200 meters from there.
\'Yes! I don\'t know how that worked, but it did that\'s all that matters,\' thought Aiden not understanding why he would accept such a stupid request that could probably have waited.
As they arrived close to the forest, Matthew released the arms of Aiden because he didn\'t want to see him pee, and even if he would try to get away he would be able to get him back.
But that was the fatal flaw of Matthew, his overestimation of his strength.
"Get back here quickly, I don\'t have all night," said Matthew as he started waiting for Aiden to pee.
"Yeah, it won\'t take long," said Aiden as he started going behind a tree that completely hid his body from the point of view of Matthew.
Not a single part of his body could be seen and it was obviously done on purpose, as Aiden started climbing the tree silently, not making a single noise that could alert the last general.
When climbing it, he made sure that he still couldn\'t see him as it was crucial that the general couldn\'t see him.
Arriving on top of it, Aiden was clearly out of the point of view of Matthew who was still looking at the bottom of the tree.
After all, why would he think that Aiden was now at the top of it and what could he even do at the top of it?
"Are you still not done?" asked Matthew as he getting bored waiting for him.
Aiden obviously didn\'t answer as he didn\'t want Matthew to know that he was at the top of a tree.
As he heard this question, Aiden knew that he didn\'t have much time until Matthew would start coming toward the tree where he hid.
And that was exactly his plan, he was waiting for Matthew to go check the base of the tree so that he could drop down and give him a fast slash to the neck.
"Hey, answer me!" said Matthew as he started going toward the tree just like Aiden had planned.
\'Did something happen?\' thought Matthew not understanding why Aiden wasn\'t answering as he hadn\'t seen him move from that tree.
Aiden watching him get closer to the tree was extremely happy because he knew that he could finally finish the <Trial Objective>, it was now only a question of seconds before he would be able to learn the identity of the Boss of this trial.
Matthew was now one meter away from the tree and as he looked behind the tree, Aiden jumped down with his dagger in his hands preparing to give a quick slash to the neck just like he had done before with the other generals.
As he was still in the air, he executed a perfect strike to the neck of the last general who got decapitated instantly.
\'If only I had this weapon for my trial, imagine how easy it would have been.\'
Because the only thing that had caused him problems in the first trial was pretty much his weapon as it was the only thing holding him back from killing the monsters faster.
Then a beeping sound was heard, which confirmed the death of the last general.
