Hitman with a Badass System
chapter-323-14051352

"You picked a night time to kill me, good choice" Michael slowly walked forwards with his hands behind. The Grim Reapers were in no rush to kill him. It seemed like they wanted to kill him slowly, especially the woman behind Michael.

"Reduced visibility, darkness will help you blend and your spells would draw less attention" Michael listed some of the pros of choosing nighttime to assassinate someone in this forest.

"But" Michael stopped walking for a moment,

"you guys made a mistake"

"And what is that?" the woman asked. She started to breathe more and more heavily.

For a few moments, Michael didn't answer. He just let the silence envelop the place.

"You failed to study whether your advantage would also be your target's"

The Cat's eye potion would enable the drinkers to see in the night yet it wouldn't be like natural vision. Hence, the three assassins failed to notice the changes in the surroundings. As far as they were concerned, the night couldn't get any darker. But it did when Michael cast the Death Range.

"Alright, I cant huh ow oh…oh…my god. Can't wait any longer" suddenly her moans echoed through the forest out loud. She directly lunged at Michael.

"Love shackles" in the mid-air, she cast a spell as pink giant shackles materialized in the sky above Michael.

"Frost Rage"

"Illusion Lava" Michael's surroundings suddenly changed. The dark forest transformed into a fiery hot lava. He felt like he had been teleported into a boiling volcano.

In addition to the illusions, several humanoid creatures made of frosty ice appeared around him in a five-meter radius. If they weren't only at Core Strengthening stage level 2, Michael wouldn't have decided to face them head-on.

"Lightning Dash" He dashed away before the shackles could land on him.

Just while he was dashing away, he pinpointed the illusionary formation's source point. The source was on the ground, under the dried-out leaves beside the Grim Reaper who cast the spell.

"Ignitia" the lightning bolt hit the source point with deadly accuracy. Immediately his surroundings transformed back to normal.

"Ah" when the formation got destroyed, it backlashed as a burst of Arch energy stunned the spell caster. The Grim Reaper was momentarily stunned.

"Watch out!" the Grin Reaper who cast a spell to create frost creatures shouted.

"Ignitia" Michael quickly dashed behind the grim reaper. Without wasting a second of time, he sent a bolt of lightning through the grim reaper's heart. Because he was a core Strengthening stage cultivator, it did not one-shot him. Michael wasn't expecting the lightning bolt to kill him with one shot. That was why he immediately stabbed the cultivator through the wound created by the lightning bolt

Pulch!

"Wolf!" the male grim reaper shouted when he saw Michael's sword sticking out of his colleague's chest. Michael twisted the sword, ending his life.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a Core Strengthening stage, level 2 Cultivator. The reward is 300,000 Experience points and 2000 Badass points]

"That's so hot!"

The female reaper however did not seem to care about her colleague's demise. She just knelt on the ground, moaning loudly.

"Woman, you're a fucking freak" Michael drew back his sword. He was glad that her climax slowed her down from casting another spell.

"Kill him!" The frosty figures moved slowly but they were able to reach Michael since he stopped moving to kill the Grim Reaper.

"Ring of Fire"

What was better to fight a bunch of humanoid creatures made of ice than flaming hot fire.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The ring of fire sent two pulse blasts around Michael, burning everything it passed through. The ice figures did not completely evaporate but their legs melted down. Another two pulses of the fire melted their upper body before they could reach Michael.

"Lightning Dash"

"Ice Drag-"

Boom!

Michael dashed at the grim reaper to end his life before he could cast another spell. The grim reaper was just about to finish his spell when he saw Michael lunge at him. His lightning-fast reflexes kicked in as he immediately retrieved a smoke bomb from his space ring and dropped it into the ground. The smoke bomb exploded, creating a fog of smoke around the grim reaper.

It was a neat tactic that might have worked if Michael didn't have his X-ray vision and Environmental scanning.

"Ignitia, Ignitia, Ignitia" The grim reaper didn't not stop moving as he kept running to escape the lightning bolts. The assassin had no time to cast a spell. He was expecting help from his colleague but she was shaking on the ground.

"Sucker" Michael chuckled inside. The male grim reaper thought Michael was attacking him to kill while the female cultivator was having a great time thinking that her target was busy with her colleague.

Michael suddenly changed his target as he dashed at the female cultivator. While she was quivering on the ground, he tried to cut her neck. Unfortunately, she was quick enough to evade a fatal bow yet the sword did cut her shoulder.

Slash!

"Aaaw, you wanna play" the female reaper slowly stood up from the ground. Her legs were still shaking while her eyes radiated intense pleasure.

"Two vs one, you're dead" the male grim reaper sighed in relief seeing his colleague finally entering the battle. He picked up a strange smell but he didnt focus too much on the smell as he thought it's coming from the forest.

"Tsk tsk tsk. You clowns should have gotten a job in a circus instead of an assassin guild"

"Now that's hurtful" finally the female reaper's voice showed some murderous intent instead of freaky moaning intent.

"Four…three" the two cultivators were confused when they heard Michael start counting.

"two…one"

"Im gonna…(cough) aaH, what's happening" just after taking a few steps towards Michael, the female reaper started to cough. Behind the masks, their faces slowly turned pale. Their bodies shivered, not in pleasure, their bodies shivered in fear. The female grim reaper couldn't feel her muscles. It was because Michael smeared paralyzing poison on his swords. He really aimed for her throat to kill her instantly but as usual, he wanted to have a backup plan if she evaded his attack. His backup plan worked.

The fear toxin finally showed its effect. The grim reapers' deepest fears took hold of their minds. Michael clapped his hands together towards the female grim reaper. Golden lightning cracks danced around Michael's hands. The sound of electricity crackles became louder and louder while the light radiated by the lightning cracks was so bright that it looked like someone put a light in the middle of them.

Boom!

Michael used half of his Arch energy to power up the lightning bolt. The thick bolt of lightning soared through the air. When the lightning bolt met its target, it didnt go through her but destroyed half of her body. She stood there bloodied, half of her body was gone, blood splashed from her body while skin slowly peeled off of her. Even the bones were charred as they were visible to the naked eyes.

She clung to her life but she was not in shape to fight. Finally, she fell to the ground. What happened to her didn't horrify the other reaper as he had seen gory things like this in the past. But what terrified him more other than the fear toxin in his body was the fact that his colleagues were murdered by Core Formation stage warrior. They planned everything perfectly yet nothing went according to the plan from the beginning. To this moment, they had no idea how he found them, how he was this strong and fast, what was the sudden fear they felt.

"Chameleon attack!" while the female reaper was twitching in the ground, the other one screamed looking into the dark forest behind Michael. Any moment from now, the grim reaper expects their fourth member also known as their plan b jump out of the darkness to plunge a dagger into their target's chest from behind.

" His name was Chameleon huh?"

The Grim reaper's heart skipped a beat, "was?" he mumbled. IT was taking everything in him to fight off the sudden fear in his heart. Hence, he hoped Chameleon would kill Michael, ending their battle.

"I killed him"

The moment Michael completed his diddle diddle, Chameleon lost his life due to blood loss. When Michael first noticed he was being followed, he saw not three but four hostels in his Environmental scanning map. The fourth one however did not travel with the three of them, he traveled alone, keeping his distance from the trio. Since he was alone, Michael took care of him first by stealth killing him. The Chameleon was completely caught off guard. Michael quickly stabbed his throat a couple of times to silence him first, then he broke Chameleon's neck using his full strength which was boosted by Death range.

The Grim Reaper saw a bloodied lizard mask appear in Ghost's hand. Although it was bloody, he was sure that the mask belonged to the chameleon. Michael threw the bloody mask near the bloody corpse of the female grim reaper.

"Ignitia"

Michael knew the lightning bolt would hit its target without a problem because the grim reaper's courage to fight was broken, the fear toxin was still affecting his mind, and the sight of his three dead colleagues ripped off any fighting spirit he had left in his heart. Even if the Grim Reaper tried to escape Michael could take his full Lucifer form which would boost his power to Core Strengthening stage level 4 and kill him.

"Ah"

"Ignitia, lightning dash" he fired another bolt of lightning after the first one hit. The very next moment, he activated the lightning dash to close the distance between them. The grim reaper's instincts made him conjure another defensive spell but the distance was too short and Michael was too fast. He closed the gap between them before plunging his sword straight into the grim reaper's throat.
