The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World-Chapter 245 - Them?

As she poured her mana within Aiden, it seemed that her consciousness also followed as her eyes were now filled with darkness. Aiden wasn't even able to see the colour of her or her pupil, the entirety of her eye was of the colour black.

'This is really creepy,' thought Aiden as he saw that the rest of her body was also not moving a single inch.

Then, as he thought that something might have happened to Melinda for unknown reasons, it seemed that she finally moved a part of her body and without much surprise, it was her mouth.

"I think I'm seeing the chains that you were talking about," she muttered with a pretty strange tone.

While saying it, Aiden didn't know why, but he got a feeling that there might be a problem.

"Yes, and is it a curse?" asked Aiden, right away, as he knew that there were really good chances that it was the case.

As he said that, the face of Melinda which was devoid of any emotions started nodding, however, it seemed that it wasn't a simple curse as Melinda once again opened her mouth to talk.

"It is, but, it's not a simple one. In fact, I have never seen such a strong curse before in your life," she muttered to herself, letting Aiden know at the same time.

'Strong curse?' thought Aiden, not that surprised with that information as he knew that it wasn't weak if it was able to restrict all kinds of energies.

However, hearing that it was the strongest that Melinda had ever seen, Aiden was somewhat worried.

He wanted to get rid of this curse, now that he knew that it was actually, and he had planned on Melinda to help him do so.

But, from the tone of her voice, it seemed that it probably wouldn't be possible.

"Do you know what it is though," asked Aiden as he didn't want to miss the opportunity to learn more about it.

"Well, I have seen similar stuff before. However, it was never that bad," she continued talking still with her eyes fully dark.

It seemed that she was still observing those chains as they were clearly really interesting for someone who practiced illusions and enchantments.

In fact, when Aiden had gotten the thought that those chains were a curse, he thought that it was Melinda who had cast it on him.

However, he had dismissed those thoughts quickly since he knew that the Emberbane Family wasn't on the best terms with the Nightshade Family.

There was literally no way that Melinda would be helping, and the conversation that they were currently having only served to consolidate those thoughts.

"Do you know of any way to solve this curse of mine?" asked Aiden, knowing that there weren't a lot of chances of that being the case. 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙．𝑐𝘰𝘮

However, he still didn't give up on this opportunity as he knew that it was probably his only chance to have it removed.

"I don't, well I might have an idea, but there's no way that I can pull it off. I'm simply not strong enough," said Melinda, one of the strongest people in this world.

If she wasn't strong then who was?

That was the thought that instantly appeared in Aiden's mind, as he couldn't imagine another person more fit for the job than her.

'Well seems like I'll never be able to get rid of those chains,' thought Aiden, starting to feel somewhat bad as he knew that he wouldn't be able to solve his problem this quickly.

In fact, he wasn't sure if he would be able to get rid of those chains.

However, while Aiden was thinking all of this, Melinda's mind was also somewhere else completely.

'Maybe I could present Aiden to them? They might be able to fix this thing,' thought Melinda, having in mind a certain group.

But the more she thought about it, the more she was unsure as she knew that if she presented to that group then Aiden would be in trouble, well he wouldn't be as safe as before.

"Alright, then I guess there's no choice then, I'll just try to find a way by myself later on," finally uttered Aiden after taking in that he wouldn't be getting rid of those chains today.

'Well, whoever cursed me in the Nightshade Family, better get prepared because I will soon be cutting their head,' thought Aiden, as he gritted his teeth in pure frustration.

Just who had done such a thing?

Who could be strong enough to put a curse that even the head of a founding family wasn't able to remove?

The more Aiden thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more he found it weird as there was literally no one that appeared in his mind that would be able to do such a thing.

Well, there was no person, but there was an entity who could potentially be able to curse someone so strongly and that entity was always roaming around with Aiden, well not only him. It was roaming around with all the people who had awakened.

Yes, he had gotten an idea that maybe it was the system which was behind this whole thing.

Nonetheless, even if Aiden wanted to know about it there would be no answer coming from the system.

Still, he didn't take any chances and asked, however, there was absolutely no beeping sound or any mechanical voice to answer him, it seemed that the System would be silent this time which didn't surprise Aiden one bit.

"Now, I guess it's my turn to continue with my questions, right?" asked Melinda, remembering that she still wanted to receive some answers about Aiden's past.

Aiden hearing this simply nodded his head as he remembered that he had asked for only one of his questions to be answered at the moment. However, he would soon be asking something else.

"Then, how did you become this strong, this fast?"
