Hitman with a Badass System
chapter-167

"What the fuck do mean kinda?"

[When you have physical sex, your seed will sprout as a new life inside your female counterpart]

"Yeah, it's called a baby," said Michael. He wondered whether the system was trying to annoy him intentionally or not.

[Just like the physical sex, there might be a teeny tiny chance for a spirit child to appear inside her after the Spirit walking]

"Spirit child, what the heck is that?" he asked, still maintaining the connection between him and Lailah.

[To put it simply, it's a baby without a physical body but the system can make sure the spirit child inherit nothing from the host such as talents and characteristics]

"Do it" he said without even the slightest hesitation. He did not have any idea of having a kid until he reached his goal of controlling the world, besides, he was not in love with Lailah and would certainly not have a kid with her, a spirit baby or a real baby.

"And can't you stop a spirit child from forming?"

[There's only a little chance for a spirit child to appear through spirit walking. At the moment, the system cannot stop the spirit child from forming but can leave a mark in her body that would prevent the spirit child from inheriting anything from the host]

"Whatever," he said before concentrating on keeping the connection between him and Lailah and neutralizing the energies. Little by little, he began to lose consciousness.

An unearthly humming sound emerged in the desolate wasteland, making the dead world slightly livelier. The sound continued for an hour, before slowly quieting down. Afterward, there were no more sounds. The wasteland recovered its deathly silence.

At the moment,

Michael and Lailah lay on the wasteland naked. They both had their eyes closed, currently unconscious. No one knew whether they had fallen asleep or fallen unconscious. A miniature version of the red and blue energy on the horizon appeared above their bodies before gradually fading away from the sight.

Lailah's veil was already removed, revealing her appearance. She was extremely beautiful, to the point where it could no longer be described as alluring or kingdom-toppling.

On Michael's back, many scratches crisscrossed. They did not break through his skin but there were clearly visible marks.

The two of them lay on the cold ground just like this. Whether they were in deep sleep or unconscious, they did not wake up even after a long time.

[Congratulations to the host for leveling up. The current level is Body Strengthening stage Level 9!]

Michael was completely unconscious and oblivious of what's happening to him. The Energy devourer kept converting the weak excess Yang Energy remained in his body to Experience points and because the First Energy was extremely powerful compared to the Arch Energy, the conversion directly made him breakthrough a couple of levels at once. On the other hand, Lailah could only reach the next sub-level as her body couldn't use the excess Yang energy in her body as the system did.

…

[Experience points converted 70,000]

[Experience points converted 150,000]

…

[Congratulations to the host for leveling up. The current level is Body Strengthening stage Level 10!]

From afar, the two pillars of red and blue light remained, stretching into the sky. They gave off slivers of Yin and Yang energy that slowly fused into the two. However, the energy was no longer able to cause any harm to the unconscious duo and as soon as the energy entered their bodies, it would be balanced out, turning into gentle energy before being absorbed by them. A portion fused with their bodies, while the remaining part merged with their heads. It caused some slight changes to their souls, strengthening them at the same time. However, most of the energy went straight into Michael's body because the system sucked in as much energy as possible to enhance its protection against the Omegas.

At this very moment, the two pillars of light in the distance slowly disappeared. With their disappearance, the First Energy in the surroundings vanished instantly but the energy devourer still kept converting the excess energy in his body making him near the Core Formation stage.

[Congratulations to the host for reaching the next stage, the Core Formation stage!]

[Congratulations to the host for leveling up. The current level is Core Formation stage Level 1!]

After he reached the Core Formation stage, the thin layer of light around his body slowly vanished, stopping his cultivation spree.

"Wake up, sleepyhead!"

"Wakey wakey wakey!"

Soon after Michael's consciousness began to return, he heard a child's voice and felt his face becoming wetter and wetter. The Spirit walking put a major strain on his soul and body, therefore, he couldn't open his eyes or move his body quickly.

"Wake up, it's been two days, I'm hungry!" Michael heard the child's voice again, it was definitely a boy's voice but he could hear a tint of roughness in the childish voice he's been hearing.

"Give me meat! Or I'll start eating you" as soon as the child's voice disappeared, he felt a slight pain of something trying to take a bite out of his cheek.

The sharp pain made him move his hands to his face while slowly opening his eyes. As soon as his vision became clearer, he was welcomed by a pleasant surprise, the baby dragon.

"You're awake, you're awake, you're awake!" the baby dragon's crimson scales glistened brighter than before. He looked a little grown-up, like a two months old puppy. Just like a puppy who met his owner after a few days, the baby dragon bounced up and down wiggling his long tail.

"You can talk," Michael sighed before smiling at the baby dragon. He then grabbed the bouncing baby dragon, hugging the baby dragon and placing a gentle kiss on his forehead.

"Ah…"

Hugging the baby dragon, he subconsciously wriggled slightly but when he moved, a numbing moan was heard by Michael. The voice carried some pain, Michael's slight wriggling had finally woken up Lailah.

Her eyes struggled to adjust to the light after being unconscious for a long time. After the blurriness faded away, she saw the naked Michael and the baby dragon licking his face.

Shortly afterward, all the images from a few days ago flashed through her head like a film. Lailah's expression immediately became torn between rage and shame.

At this moment, she pushed Michael away using all of her physical strength which was higher than Michael's due to her Fusion stage cultivation stage. She then immediately climbed up. When she saw that she was completely naked under the sky, without anything covering her body and the feeling of her soul had been tainted by him, tears immediately began to well up in her beautiful eyes.

"That human is mad, what did you do?" The baby dragon stopped showering Michael's face with kisses and climbed onto his shoulder.

Forcefully resisting her anger, Lailah pulled out a new violet dress from her Space Ring and quickly draped it over herself. She stared viciously at him and the baby dragon with flames of rage, while more and more tears welled up. Her eyes were filled with misery. Sensing the hostility towards them in her eyes, the baby dragon hissed at her, ready to attack her any second.

"Wow, I've reached the Core Formation stage?" Just like the baby dragon, he too prepared himself not to fight her but to run as fast as he could from her because he knew she was overwhelmed by rage and she would not listen to any reason.

"System"

[Don't worry host, the system has left a mark in her soul while you were Spirit walking. She cannot hurt you and here's a gift for you helping the system come out of the safe mode] the system voice now sounded more humane, the voice sounded like a man and a woman at the same time. However, the return of the system put a wide grin on Michael's face. The very next moment, a black outfit began to cover his body from toe to chest. If he saw himself in a mirror he would instantly recognize this iconic outfit once worn by the one and only character Blade, the part vampire, part human. Nonetheless, the outfit was not exactly the same as in the movies, the system had made some changes such as adding shiny metal chest plates, silver embodiment on the edges, and a few other noticeable changes so he wouldn't stand out too much in the crowd.

Despite the indescribable beauty standing in front of him, he was too focused on himself.

"It's so good to be back together," Michael said under his breath, cracking his neck and knuckles.

Looking at the grin on his face, she became furious and roared at him "You bastard, you beast, taking advantage of people. You actually used such a despicable method to take sully my soul. I will never forgive you. After I kill you and that dragon, I'll kill myself." Lailah was a woman who seemed gentle on the outside but she was actually tough on the inside. She seemed to be a rather gentle and quiet person but her personality was extremely staunch. She was unable to endure being defiled like this.
