Hitman with a Badass System

Chapter 512 Battle concludes

Immediately Michael raised his sword to block the mace,

Boom!

The moment the sword and the mace collided, Michael’s sword broke into 

Pieces and throw him backward a couple of meters,

”Now you pissed me off” seeing the broken sword in his hand, Michael growled. He loved those two black swords, and the elder vampire broke one like a twig with a single swing.

Now Michael had to forge or buy a pair of swords from the system for a ridiculously high price. The price was why Michael hadn’t purchased a sword from the system. There were better choices in the auction houses than the swords in the system. 

Unfortunately, the system locked the ores behind an upgrade wall. So without upgrading the system to a certain level, Michael wouldn’t be able to buy them.

Instead of wasting his badass points on a pair of swords that could be outclassed by swords forged in this world, Michael used the black sword given to him by the Kane elders.

Seeing Michael standing with a broken sword, Noah turned his head to look at the white sword behind the elder vampire, several feet away from them.

”Go get it,” Michael nodded at Noah before dashing at the elder vampire,

The elder vampire swung his mace, sending a crescent blood wave at Noah, but Noah raised his hand, firing a stream of Heaven’s flame to cut through the blood wave.

On the other hand, Michael reached the elder vampire and leaped onto the vampire’s belly. He climbed onto the vampire’s stomach as quickly as possible before the vampire could react. 

Bang!

Michael kicked the vampire’s chin with enough force to numb his feet.

”ARRGHH!” the elder vampire roared, which sounded more like a roar of an annoyance than hurt.

Michael tried to grab the sword sticking out of the vampire’s shoulder but before he could get his hands on it, the vampire tried to swat Michael with his big fist.

Bang!

Michael stomped the vampire’s face, crushing its nose. Yet, the broken, crooked nose set itself in a matter of seconds. However, it pissed off the vampire as it began to grab Michael violently.

Immediately Michael retrieved the tear gas vials from the system storage and broke the vials by crushing them on the vampire’s head.

”Fuck!’ the vampire cursed as the tear gas made the vampire unable to move around by causing intense irritation to the eyes,

Michael knew the tear gas could only be in effect for ten seconds or so to a powerful being such as the elder vampire. Sometimes he was annoyed by Alchemy. Almost every single potion and pill would lose its effect in front of a powerful cultivator. 

The Celestial energy was an ultimate purifier than the arch energy. Even the most powerful poisons would be purified by celestial energy. This was why killing a cultivator above the Soul Refining stage was near impossible by means such as poisoning. It was also why the system charged a measly amount of twenty thousand points. 

Granted, being an Alchemist was a great way to get rich. Still, when it comes to battle capabilities, there weren’t many potions and pills that could really give him an edge when battling beings with higher cultivation stages unless he could get his hands on some potent ingredients.

Unfortunately, the damn system overpriced every ingredient to the point that brewing the portion would not be worth the price.

Boom!

The vampire had enough of Michael’s annoying tactics. Hence, the vampire clobbered himself in the face with the mace. The shock wave threw Michael off balance. When he struggled to balance himself, the vampire punched him in the chest, instantly breaking several ribs.

Fighting the pain, Michael cast the lightning dash to dash away from the vampire before the vampire grabbed him. Michael’s arm was so numb that he didn’t even feel the sting of APD.

Even with the 90% pure healing potion, it would take him at least five to six minutes to heal his broken ribs. 

While Michael was coughing up blood, Noah leaped at the vampire with his white sword in his hand,

”Lightning blade!” 

Michael saw a thick bolt of lightning shooting from Noah’s sword to the vampire’s head. The pure white lightning momentarily blinded the vampire and flashed across the arena.

Noah’s lightning would have reached the vampire’s head if he, a bloated disgusting mountain of meat and fat, didn’t jump in the air, overhead kicking Noah like a football. The agility and athleticism caught Noah off guard, and not only Noah but Michael too. For a moment, the bloated vampire looked like a professional football player. That overhead kick was simply too shocking.

Before the elder vampire lands on the ground, a blood-red torpedo shot out of the vampire’s butt and soared through Michael.

Boom!

It exploded when the torpedo clashed with Michael’s responsive shield. Fortunately, the elder vampire wasn’t stronger than a Soul Refining stage cultivator. Because of that, the shield absorbed 80% of the force. But the remaining twenty percent forced Michael several steps backward and broke his ulna like a twig,

”Damn it!” Michael gritted his teeth in pain. He looked down at his forearm to see a bloody broken bone sticking out through the sleeves. He couldn’t even imagine what would happen to him if he didn’t have the responsive shield.

”Shooting missiles from your butt. Real matured, you ugly fuck” Michael shouted at the vampire before pushing back the broken bone back into his forearm. It hurt like hell despite the APD sending a healing potion into his bloodstream. 

Noah had a look of surprise when he saw Ghost pushing back the broken bone. So many would have fainted in pain or screamed in agony. Yet, Noah saw no pain or misery on his face but intense killing intent in his eyes.

After Michael set the ulna back in its place, the healing potion sped up a bit.

”I had enough of this,” Michael mumbled to himself and looked up at the black cloth covering the arena’s rooftop.

”Do you really think it’s just a black cloth?” the elder vampire snickered,

”Unless I want to, it’s going nowhere. I am the overlord in this scene,” the elder vampire oozed with confidence.

The vampire stomped the ground as a sign of his dominance. 

”I am Ghost,” Michael’s lips curved upwards, surprising the vampire and Noah. The next moment, Noah and Michael dashed at the vampire from back and front. Noah was the one behind the vampire, while Michael cast the lightning-dash spell to face him head-on from the front.

[System scan completed…]

[The dark net is a web of complicated runes and arrays intervened together]

[The system requires 200,000 badass points to disable the dark net]

He heard the system sounding in his head, and although the required badass points staggered him, to kill the elder vampire, he had to spend the badass points.

”Do it!” Michael yelled at the system in his mind. But, unlike Noah, he never planned to fight the elder vampire head-on. Instead, he planned to level the field by weakening the elder vampire. 

Sunlight was deadly to any vampire. That was why Victor or the other vampires wore dark robes covering their skin. But the elder vampire was too confident in his dark cloth blocking the sunlight. Thus, he was as naked as a newborn baby.

As though Noah had read Michael’s mind, Noah changed his trajectory suddenly and dashed at Michael. When they both met a few meters away from the elder vampire, Michael leaped into the air as Noah grabbed Michael’s feet and boosted him into the air using all his strength. 

While Michael was soaring through the air towards the black cloth, Noah threw his sword in the air, which was caught by Michael just a moment before he swung the white sword at the black cloth.

Creech!

The vampire was startled when he heard a tearing sound. He looked at the 

growing tear in the black cloth dumbstruck. Little by little, the sunlight crept through the gap, vacating the red ambiance the vampires created.

”It’s…its…impossible,” the vampire couldn’t take his eyes off the tearing black cloth. One of the most powerful weapons the vampires had was destroyed in a matter of seconds. He spent the best years of his life perfecting the black cloth, only to fail.

Meanwhile, Noah felt the light coming through the gap restoring his power.

Noah gained power while Michael lost his power boost as the darkness was being replaced by light. Still, it was worth the trade-off because the light weakened the elder vampire more than it did to him. Even without the darkness, Michael was a Soul Refining stage cultivator and still strong. But the same could not be said of the vampire, as his power took a nosedive.

Boom!

Suddenly, Noah shot into the air from the ground like a rocket, cutting through the air. In mid-air, Noah grabbed Michael’s hand, which was holding his white sword. 

They pointed the sword toward the vampire, diving down. The two of them looked like a meteor soaring through the air, creating a trail blaze. At that moment, Noah and Michael shared the same sword and aim; killing the elder vampire.

The elder vampire’s battle instincts kicked in as he raised the mace in the air to deflect the sword. Additionally, the translucent red shield bubbled around the vampire, who had no longer wished to stay in the arena because of the sunlight. 

BOOOOOOOM!

However, when the duo and the shield collided, the vampire’s blood shield shattered into hundreds of tiny shards. The shock wave burned everything around them in a ten-meter radius. 

Pulch!

Noah and Michael did not stop as they entered through the vampire’s chest, forming a vast hole and appearing out in the back, completely drenched in blood.

”ARRRRRGHHHHHHH!” the elder vampire screamed in agony as his skin began to smoke. In a couple of seconds, the sunlight completely burned his skin. Then, coupled with the huge hole in his chest, the vampire staggered aimlessly.

Finally, after a long tiresome battle, they slew the elder vampire. However, Michael frowned as he didn’t hear any notification from the system or receive any experience points.

For some reason, Michael had a bad feeling in his guts, and when he turned his head, he saw the same concern on Noah’s face.
