Hitman with a Badass System

chapter-507
Just like that, Michael killed two vampires. Then, while the vampires were stunned, Michael took a glimmering silvery vial from the system storage.
Clang!
Michael threw the vial at the ground near the vampire. The vial shattered until countless tiny pieces of glass as a puff of white smoke engulfed the air between Michael and the vampires.
"AH!"
"It burns!""My eyes!"
Suddenly, the vampires began running around the hall, clenching their eyes and screaming. After taking Victor's blood samples, Michael brewed the tear gas to disorient the vampires.
Michael did not dare to waste any time as he cast the lightning dash.
"This is our chance. Push forward!" Eve raised her hammer, roaring a battle cry before running toward the vampires swinging her hammer.
"Cut their heads off" Eve felt a chill when she heard Ghost's voice sounding in her ears. It took her a second to realize that he had run past her, and she just couldn't see him but only the golden trail beside her.
While Eve, Alicia, and Ghost were fighting the disoriented vampires, Gabriel and Leilan made a break for it. They cautiously went to the hall's corner and walked to the other side, remaining so close to the wall like a pair of geckos.
"Blood tornado""Blood hole"
Among the eighteen vampires, two of them stopped running and raised their hands high in the air, casting a spell before Michael could stop them.
As soon as they cast the spells, the room was lit with red as though the chandeliers radiating red light instead of white. Additionally, the bodies of Eve's guards squirmed. Soon, all the blood inside their bodies was sucked out from their bodies to form a mini tornado in the middle of the hall.
Michael felt his speed decrease due to the tornado countering his spell. His running speed was further reduced when a red hole appeared in the ceiling, sucking everything into it.
The red hole sucked everything in the room, such as chairs, remaining bodies, and portraits of various alchemists. Atian held Alred's body in one hand and a lion statue which was too heavy for the red hole to suck.
"Jenni!" Eve kept spinning her hammer, fighting the creating a counter force to the red hole, and shouted at Jennifer. Fortunately, Jennifer and Olivia found a statute similar to the one beside Atian and held onto it with their life.
Since Gabriel and Leilan were sticking close to the walls, they were able to grab onto the window grill.
On the other hand, Alicia stabbed the spear through the floor and held onto the spear. Then, while spinning the hammer, Eve noticed Ghost sliding towards the tornado swirling beneath the red hole.
"GHOST!" she tried to reach for him even though he was at least ten meters away from her. Yet, even at this very moment, Eve saw no fear or concern on his face. On the contrary, surprisingly, when she shouted at him, she saw a smile emerge on his calm face.
She felt creeped out by his smile. How could a man smile in a situation like this? Her mind couldn't find an answer to her question. Then, as she was staring at him, she noticed he suddenly stabbed the floor with the sword in his hand.
The next moment, he threw the sword against all the force at the vampire who cast the tornado spell.
The sword he threw soared through the air like an arrow until it pierced the vampire's forehead. Immediately the tornado disappeared from existence along with the sickering red ambiance.
Although the tornado went away and gave them breathing room, the remaining vampires were able to dash at them freely. Unlike Michael and the others, the red hole didn't have any effect on the vampires.
Several vampires targeted Alicia since she had Heaven's flame. They wanted to kill her while she was fighting the suction force. Only a couple of vampires targeted Eve because the vampires deemed her as the less threatening one among them. Her blunt weapon was basically useless against them when she fought them alone without Alicia. All the remaining vampires moved towards Michael. As far as they were concerned, he was just as dangerous as heaven's flame-wielding Alicia. If not, more.
Seeing five vampires moving towards him, Michael raised his finger.
"Ignitia"
The golden lightning bolt shot out of his hand, piercing through the vampire's chest.
"ARGH!" out of the blue, a scream reverberated in the hall. However, it didn't come from the vampire with the hole in his chest but from Gabriel. Unfortunately, Gabriel was in the lightning bolt's trajectory and got hit by the bolt in the hand. Hence, he let go of the window grills, resulting in him being sucked into the red hole.
"TEACHER!" Leilan shouted at Gabriel, but it was too late as Gabriel was flinging towards the red hole.
He flew towards the red hole like a kite without an anchor until Alicia grabbed Gabriel by his hands.
"Don't let it go!" Gabriel shouted. On the other hand, Alicia's spear began to tremble as it couldn't support two people.
"Ignitia"
Michael kept firing lightning bolts at the vampires to keep them from reaching him. This time, none of the lightning bolts hit others.
"Your hands…slipping!" Gabriel shouted, feeling his grab loosening.
"Blessing hands!" Suddenly, a giant golden ghostly hand flicked Gabriel with enough force to send him flying onto the other side.
"I got you" in the midway, Michael grabbed Gabriel by his hand before Gabriel could fly over his head.
"TEACHER!" Jennifer cried out loud when she saw Alred's lifeless body disappearing into the red hole. Only then did they realize that the spell was cast by Atian. He sacrificed Alred's body by letting him go so he could cast a spell to save Gabriel. Atian held no love for Gabriel, but he was unable to let Gabriel die when he could save Gabriel from death.
Tears gushed out of Jennifer's eyes as the memories she had spent with Alred flashed across her eyes.
"Hold me tight!" Gabriel shouted at Michael. The swag Gabriel had was nowhere to be found on his face. At the moment, Gabriel shivered and sweated, fearing for his life.
"I won't Lord Gabriel," Michael raised his voice. Gabriel's heart was pounding against his chest. He looked around while holding onto Ghost's hand to see four vampires walking toward them.
To inflict maximum fear, the vampires showed their teeth, slowly walking toward them. On the one hand, Michael held onto the sword, and on the other, he had onto Gabriel.
"Hold tight, Lord Gabriel. Your hands are slipping!" Michael shouted as the vampires devilishly grinned,
"No no no no…" Gabriel frantically shook his head. But, unlike Ghost claimed, he didn't feel his hands slipping.
"You" For a moment, Gabriel saw Ghost's lips curling upwards, revealing an evil grin.
"It slipping Lord Gabriel. I can't hold much longer!" the grin instantly disappeared from his face,
"NO!" Gabriel shouted as Michael let go of his hands.
In a blink of an eye, the red hole sucked in Gabriel, killing the previous number one Alchemist of Elon and Ozer continent.
"ARRGHH!" finally, Alicia had enough.
The next moment, she pulled the spear from the ground. As soon as she did that, the red hole sucked her in, but in the mid-air, she threw the spear at the vampire who cast the spell. The spear cut through the air with enough force to nail the vampire into the wall behind him.
Luckily before she could disappear into the red hole, Heaven's flame surrounding the spear rendered the vampire into a pile of ashes.
"TEACHER NO!" Leilan screamed. All the veins in his face bulged as his eyes turned blood red.
"Holy Blast"
"Holy Blast"
"Holy Blast"
"Holy Blast"
"Holy Blast"
He was enraged by the loss of his teacher. Thus, he went berserk by shooting plasma blasts at the vampires one after another. He didn't care if he was hitting them or not, but he just kept casting the spell. In his anger, Leilan lost the fear of vampires. The man who picked up from the streets and raised him as his own just got killed in front of his eyes. Hence, Leilan was enraged beyond words.
Since the tornado and the red hole disappeared, Michael cast 'Lightning Dash' to disappear again.
Pulch!
Pulch!
Pulch!
The vampires only felt a gust of wind before they saw their friends losing their heads. Michael used Celestial energy to increase his speed. Therefore, the vampires had no chance of seeing him or reacting to his speed.
Eve saw several heads rolling on the ground as the headless bodies sprayed blood all over the marble floor before collapsing to the ground.

….
[Congratulations to the host for leveling up. The current level is Soul Refining stage Level 4!]
The notification sound of the system kept ringing in his head continuously.
Finally, after cleaving nine heads, Michael reached the next level of the Soul Refining stage.
The remaining five vampires looked paler than usual in fear. No longer they treated Michael like he was not a significant threat. They never expected Michael to kill nine vampires in a few seconds.
If the vampires crossed the void line, they would be at the Core Formation stage. Besides, they were also freshly turned by the Elder vampire, so they had no battle experience like the others. Because of these reasons, Michael killed them so effortlessly. Even Michael was surprised at how easy it was for him to kill them.
At this point, Michale was confident the Elder vampire was treating the alchemy competition as a training ground for the newly turned vampires.
The question was whether the Elder vampire really here to take revenge for exposing their existence or for something else.
"ARGH!" Meanwhile, Eve crushed a vampire's head with her hammer, and Alicia killed two more vampires with lightning-quick speed. The remaining vampires stood no chance as Michael made quick work on them.
The headless vampires staggered as blood sprayed out into the air from their necks. While the blood was raining down, Alicia saw Ghost walking calmly towards Eve. The latter was breathing heavily after a long battle.
However, the battle was far from over.
Boom!
Suddenly the wall near the door they walked through exploded into bits and pieces, creating a cloud of smoke.
A figure came flying through the smoke and landed near Alicia,
"Noah!'
