Hitman with a Badass System
chapter-160

Roar!

The hundred-meter-long blood dragon produced a roar that shook the sea of blood. Opening its mouth, it breathed scorching hot fire, surging directly for the corpses.

The blood dragon did not seem to exist to the mutated beings, all they had in their sight was Michael, nothing else. They did not avoid the dragon's breath at all, they just wanted to rip Michael apart.

The enormous dragon breath directly engulfed over ten of them. However this was not just an illusionary formation, as Lailah said before, this was made of two formations, killing and illusionary formation.

Therefore the fire ate away a large portion of the mutated beings' bodies as Michael watched on in shock. As expected, their indestructible bodies came into play soon afterward, they returned to how they were before, continuing their charge at Michael.

He immediately activated the Lightning dash and ran over the sea of blood, getting far away from the mutated beings. The blood dragon seemed to have felt seriously challenged after seeing how its dragon breath did absolutely nothing to the mutated beings. It roared angrily and swung its front claws at the mutated beings.

The blood dragon was extremely powerful as it was radiating an aura of a level 10 Soul Refining stage beast. Before the dragon's claws, the Core Strengthening and Core Formation mutated beings were like soft butter as they were ripped in half by the dragon.

The blood dragon did not stop with just that. It suddenly turned its great head towards Michael, raising its claw once again and swinging it as a blood-red blur at him.

Sensing the danger, his neck hair suddenly stood up. He immediately leaped into the air using all of his strength, which led to the claw sweeping through thin air.

Just as he was in mid-air, another ten or so mutated beings appeared within the sea of blood. Their arrival immediately drew the blood dragon's attention. Its claws swept out once again towards the mutated beings, roaring in fury.

"Shit shit shit!" he was jumping around, barely escaping both the dragon and the mutated beings. The only thing that helped him was the vast number of mutated beings that kept the blood dragon from targeting him.

He was running out of perception pills but he was not in the state to worry about that. Swallowing a couple of pills again, he focused on finding the formation's source while evading the attacks.

"Ah!" Although he used the Lightning dash and was very agile, the mutated beings were still able to land some attacks.

"System, keep the healing potions coming AH!" he was gulping the healing potion and saving it in his mouth. Every time he sensed that he can't evade, he would immediately swallow the healing potion in his mouth so it would keep him from being severely wounded yet, his skin has slightly turned pale due to the blood loss.

At the moment, there were numerous bloody wounds in his body and the black neo suit was in a very sorry state. He was soaked in blood and there was not a single place in his body that remained untouched by his blood.

What restricted his movements more was the baby dragon in his pocket. He did not only have to evade the attacks but he also had to keep the baby dragon in his pocket safe, this whole trip would be pointless if he let the baby dragon get killed now.

"Finally!" After almost an hour of surviving the formation, he eventually found the formation's source. The source of the formation was hidden extremely well and he doubted that he could have found it without the perception pills, the source of the formation was nothing but one of the mutated beings that pretended to be trapped inside the formation.

The moment Michael sent a bolt of lightning through its head, the sea of blood, as well as the blood dragon, disappeared. The next moment he appeared among the mountains once again.

"Give me a break!" he desperately wanted to lay on the ground, healing the wounds but beast-like roars constantly resounded in the surroundings. Several dozen mutated beings had already appeared, all charging towards him.

A powerful presence that completely exceeded that of Soul Refining mutated beings far away at this moment. It shot towards them several times faster than the mutated beings

Michael immediately became stern. He wiped off the blood from his face, "fuck, that's the presence of a Fusion stage" Michael's face paled slightly.

This was not the end. Up ahead appeared another abnormally powerful presence. It was actually another Fusion stage being.

"Two Fusion stage!" Michael exclaimed. His face had become completely drained of blood. He could barely survive a Soul refining stage mutated being if he was at his absolute best, in front of not one but two Fusion stage mutated beings, he did not even think he could last a few seconds. At this moment, he wanted the system to come out of the safe mode like never before. However he did not roll down and die, he retrieved two healing potions and gulped them in one go before activating the lightning dash using all of his remaining Arch Energy.

Roar!

He quickly shot through the mountains and forests. Behind him, the two Fusion stage mutated beings remained close, pursuing them and unwilling to let them escape. They all flew just below the ten-meter threshold. He thanked himself for upgrading the Lightning Dash to level 2, if it wasn't for this spell, the Fusion stage mutated beings would have caught him a long time ago.

Suddenly, the nearby space suddenly began to twist when the two Fusion stage beings were only a thousand meters from him, the scenery before him changed in the blink of an eye.

He was now standing in a bleak wasteland, completely barren of any greenery. It stretched as far as the eye could see.

A towering battle intent suddenly appeared far away, so powerful that it was far beyond Michael's reckoning. It was filled with a condescending aura as if nothing in the world seemed significant to it, where he was the overlord of the world.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, booms began to resound from afar. The land trembled rhythmically. Michael paled as he heard the sounds; every boom coincided with his heartbeat. It seemed mysteriously connected, causing his heart to ache painfully every time it sounded out, like someone grinding their foot on his heart. He felt like his heart was about to explode.

"Argg"

Michael clenched his chest in some pain. He had already become pale-white, while his forehead was already wet with a layer of sweat droplets. He was astounded, " what is this formation?! It's so terrifying. Just the sounds from it are enough to suck away my strength"

An ape-like figure clad in golden armor slowly appeared in the distance near the horizon. He walked over slowly, step by step, causing the ground to shake violently every time his foot fell. It seemed to be like stepping on Michael's heart as well, causing his pain to become more intense.

The figure seemed to advance slowly, but the few steps he took covered great distances, appearing several hundred meters from Michael.

The figure resembled king kong to Michael and even from a distance, Michael could see the pair of eyes burning with surgeon battle intent. He was extremely burly, almost ten or twelve meters in height, wide and stocky.

Michael became even paler after seeing the figure. For the first time ever, he had lost all courage for battle in front of the giant. The ape's battle intent and his aura had collapsed Michael's psychological line of defense.

Deep down in his heart, Michael was terrified.

[Warning!]

[Unknown Energy...]

[The system urges the host to leave immediately!]

His vision was suddenly filled with red warning boxes and he heard the system's screams in his mind.

"Who's this person? Why can't I sense his cultivation?" Michael's emotions tossed and turned.

Another two figures appeared in the bleak wasteland at this moment. The Fusion stage mutated beings had also entered the formation in pursuit of Michael. They charged towards him as soon as they appeared. He immediately activated the lightning dash, running away from the two Fusion stage mutated beings.

At the same time, the man moved. He slowly raised his fist, and a heavy voice boomed in the surroundings, "Death to those who dare to intrude the land of Edros!" the ape screamed, beating its chest violently, and then, it

punched the air with devastating battle intent. The entire region began to appear so weak, so fragile before the man's fist at the same moment, time seemed to completely stop. Only the ape's large fist moved.

In this instance, the two Fusion Stage muted beings as well as Michael all felt that they had lost control of their bodies. They could only watch on blankly as the ape's fist grew bigger and bigger into a gigantic ethereal fist.

Swish!

Just as the ethereal fist was approaching them, a flash of blue appeared inside Michael's head, revealing the formation's source.

[Quick!]

The system's voice was panic-stricken, he did not waste the precious seconds as he sent a bolt of lightning using the last of his Arch Energy towards the source which was a boulder nearby.

The scenery changed the moment the lightning bolt destroyed the boulder. Michael finally regained control of his body after he left the formation space. His forehead was littered with droplets of sweat, while his heart tossed and turned. He was extremely perturbed.

"What the fuck just happened? Edros...I know this name" The heavy voice boomed through Michael's head again and again. His entire body began to tremble slightly.

He searched through Abras's memories and revealed everything he knew about Edros, the King of the Beastmen race.

The beastmen race's King, Edros, was an existence that surpassed Immortals. He was a god-like figure revered by all the beast-men as well as magical beasts.

Michael immediately turned around to look back. All he saw was the two Fusion Stage mutated beings standing blankly several hundred meters away. A few moments after, a loud boom sound could be heard as they turned into dust and disintegrated. They showed no signs of reforming even after a lengthy time.

A big droplet of dark crimson blood floated nearby that glowed brightly, several meters above the ground.
