Hitman with a Badass System
chapter-240

On the other side, Logan swung his sledgehammer, crushing two pirates' heads. The pirates were prepared to fight light-armed people like Marcella but not prepared to battle fighters with heavy weapons such as Michael or Logan. Although some pirates avoided running to Logan seeing his muscular build, there were still some daredevils who tried to kill Logan.

Michael was an unstoppable force on the ship. Everywhere he went, blood and bones splattered across. The busiest person on the ship was Ross as he was surrounded by five pirates, the pirates tried to kill the captain of the ship, ending the battle before they lose more of their brethren.

"What's taking you all bastards this long? finish them off" the pirate captain shouted at the pirates.

More and more pirates came out from the lower deck after his shout. Michael really wondered how many pirates are hiding in the merchant ship.

"I had enough of this" he brought down Doombringer's wrath upon another pirate. The head exploded, spraying blood and grey matter all over Michael. His grey long coat was painted red. The blood not only drenched his face but also painted his face red. With the Doombringer in his hand, he looked like the God of War reincarnated.

Since Logan was fighting relatively nearby to Michael, he noticed a few of Michael's brutal kills. When the blood-covered face turned towards him, Logan's heart skipped a beat in shock, it wasn't as he never saw someone kill pirates but the way Michael killed them and the thick blood and the broken bones on him that shocked Logan. It gave him a devilish look.

"Help Ross!"

Logan quickly finished off the pirate he was fighting. He nodded at David, quickly moving towards Ross. He thought David's gonna cover him but his jaw dropped when he saw David leaping onto the merchant ship that was filled with pirates.

"Hey!" Logan was stupefied, he never for a second thought David would decide to take the fight to the pirates without backup. There was no one to fight beside him on the ship like on Ross's ship. Anyone with some battle experience could tell there's no way David would survive fighting the pirates alone.

"What's he doing?!" Marcella also noticed David jumping to the pirate ship. She screamed at Logan but Logan asked the same question to himself.

…

Michael landed right on the center of the pirate ship. Unintentionally he landed like the iron man which triggered the system to award him with badass points.

"What the?" Even the pirate captain never expected someone to jump onto his ship. He was surprised but looking at the blood on the young man's body, his killing intent rose up. It was evident that the young man killed many of his men brutally to get painted in blood like this. Even the floor he landed quickly had tiny puddles of blood that trickled from his body and the Doombringer.

Boom!

Before the pirates could attack him, Michael swung the Doombringer as fast as he could at the mainsail pole. As expected, when the Doombringer collided with the sail pole, the wooden pole blasted into countless pieces of splinters. The force of the hit knocked back a few of the pirates standing around the sail pole while the splinters impaled some of the pirates, inflicting some amount of damage.

"Bastard" If it was his ship, he would have lost his mind if someone destroyed the mainsail pole which would cost a fortune to repair. Since it was the case as he recently captured the merchant ship and posed as merchants to pillage other ships, he was mostly just annoyed to see the youngster destroy the ship.

The force also slightly pushed Michael back. Using this opportunity, one pirate quickly slashed at Michael with his cutlass. The training did make his body several times stronger but without using Arch energy, he wasn't invincible or untouchable. The cutlass cut his back as he felt a sharp pain across his back.

The APD quickly injected half of the healing potion into his bloodstream. While the wound was healing, Michael didn't give the pirate another chance to cut him. When the pirate slashed the cutlass at him again, he bent his back as the cutlass brushed past his forehead. The other pirates did not let their fellow pirates fight alone, they all rushed at Michael to overpower him.

Back on the Northern Continent, the cultivators tend to fight one by one. They often let one or two cultivators fight on the front side while some cast supportive spells from the side. The reason cultivators avoid attacking one at the same time was the spells they cast could wound their own team. The pirates were the polar opposite of cultivators, they liked to gang up on an opponent.

After evading the cutlass, it was his turn to attack the pirate who cut him. He swung the Doombringer in a circle without doing any fancy moves. The pirate who cut him was unfortunate enough to welcome the Doombringer's head with his head. The head exploded into a blood mist, splattering skull pieces and grey matter across the place. Some grey matter ended up on Michael's face yet it was not enough to make him show an expression of disgust. However the other pirates weren't as strong as Michael, seeing the headless body of their fellow pirate, they were momentarily stunned.

While they were stunned, Michael swung the Doombringer again at the headless body like a hammer hitting a nail. The headless body completely mashed by Doombringer further stunning the pirates.

It was a very brutal kill. Utilizing their shock, Michael continued to swing his Doombringer at every pirate he could see. Although he was swinging the Doombringer chaotically, he was careful not to let any pirates come close enough to cut his head off.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Many of the surrounding pirates were either killed or knocked back by the Doombringer. The more pirates he attacked, the more blood spattered across his face, obstructing his view. It slowed his move as a few of the pirates managed to strike him.

Standing on the helm platform, the pirate captain saw the young man wreaking havoc among his men. Even after he was surrounded by his men, the Warhammer in his hand, crushed everyone in its path.

"What's happening?" he mumbled to himself. He saw his men land more than a couple of times yet he was moving as he never suffered any wounds. One could not differentiate the young man's blood from the blood of his men on his body. He was bathed in blood, the more blood ended up on his body, the more he looked like a devil.

When the young man first landed on the ship, he had twenty men on the ship but now, they were reduced to seven. Looking at the dead bodies on the deck, his veins popped in anger. He wanted to call everyone on the merchant ship to kill the young man.

Yet the anger blinded his rational thinking. He unsheathed his cutlass, deciding to join the fight himself. At this time, the pirate captain had no idea he was running towards his death.

"Ahhhhh!" Michael let out an evil scream continuing to crush everyone in his path. Even after killing a pirate, he never stopped swinging his Doombringer until the body turned into a bloody mess. Although three pirates lost all their courage and decided to run, he threw the Doombringer at them, knocking them down.

"Grh" the pirates who were knocked down by the Doombringer grunter in pain. The pirate captain saw the young man walking towards the three crawling pirates, he ran as fast as he could to save his men. Yet his heart skipped a beat when he saw the young man crushing their skull by stomping on them.

The young man kept stomping on the dead pirates while screaming like a mad wolf. However, suddenly he stopped stomping the pirates. The pirate captain saw the young man grinning, except for his teeth, there was no spot on his face that wasn't covered by the blood.

Every muscle in Michael's body ached, most of the healing potion in APD had been injected into his bloodstream. The battle was harder than he initially expected. If he used dual swords, the battle would have been much easier and received a few cuts to his body because of his 89% mastery over swordsmanship. The Doombringer was supposed to be used with his spells. Since he never used any spells, the pirates did manage to land several deep cuts.

Putting the Doombringer on his shoulder, he slowly walked towards the pirate captain. Not that he wanted to walk slowly but the exhaustion made walking difficult. At the moment, Michael ignored the battle noises coming from Ross's ship. The killing intent he felt towards the pirate captain canceled all the noises around him. Michael wasn't the only one with killing intent, the pirate captain radiated more killing intent than Michael because he just lost a huge chunk of his crew power to a single man. He slashed violently at the young man as the blade deeply cut his left cheek.

However, his mind went blank when he saw the wound closing up at a rapid speed.

"What...what the...hell are you?" In a couple of seconds, the wound completely disappeared.

Michael grabbed the pirate captain by his neck without giving him a chance to swing his cutlass again before putting the Doombringer on the ground.

"Captain!"

The pirates who noticed the pirate captain in Michael's clutch stopped fighting as they screamed. For a few moments, the battle completely stopped as they all stared at Michael and the pirate captain who was being lifted up from the ground by his neck.

"Your death"
