Hitman with a Badass System
-
chapter-89
"Gaya?" Michael picked up the arrow and looked up at the sky to see a familiar pegasus clumsily flying away from the Phoenix island.
[500 Badass points for learning how to fly an object]
[1000 Badass points for integrating the skill with Lightning dash]
"Do it!" Michael wasted no time thinking about the Badass points as he ordered the system.
"Lightning dash" He turned himself into a lightning bolt and dashed towards the stall where everyone was renting flying swords."Hey!" When Michael reached the stall, he didn't even stop as he threw a pouch of coins and jumped on a flying sword. The next moment, everyone saw him turning himself into a lightning bolt and launching himself into the sky.
"Alicia, let's go see what's happening" Noah was curious to see like everyone else and followed the black-robed youngster behind.
"Wow" they never expected the black-robed youngster could fly that fast as they only saw a flash of lightning and then he disappeared from their view.
"Who is he?" Even Alicia could barely track his speed and wondered about the origin of the youngster.
In the sky, Michael saw a group of pink-robed youngsters circling around Gaya and one guy was lifting Gaya by her neck.
Zzzzzzhhhhh!

….
Michael was not in the mood to lay back and enjoy the sudden outburst in badass points. His full focus was on Gaya who was bleeding and barely holding herself together without falling off the pegasus.
Whoosh!
The next moment, Maria saw a flash of lightning and then, a black-robed youngster appeared before the mortal girl.
"Hu..ma"
"Here, drink this" Due to all the years of intense training and anger management, he was able to think clearly as he quickly retrieved a healing potion and gently poured it into her mouth. He noticed green veins spreading all over her body and realized she was poisoned.
"What is happening here?"
"Who is this girl?"
"I don't know but I guess it has something to do with these pink uniformed youngsters"
"80% pure Healing potion"
While Michael was treating Gaya, many people surrounded them and started to gossip. Among this crowd, Noah noticed the potion and slightly raised his brows because as an Alchemist himself, he quickly realized the potion's purity.
"Human, where."
"Shh! just drink another one" he shushed her and poured another bottle of Healing potion into her mouth.
"Neigh!" just as she was drinking the healing potion, the pure pegasus lost its consciousness and started to fall down. The flying sword Michael grabbed from the stall was fortunately big enough for two people, so he quickly saved Gaya from falling down by grabbing her by the waist.
"Maria" Solomon, Maria, and every pink-robed youngster heaved a sigh of relief seeing they were away from the air space of Phoenix island as well as Michael's cultivation level.
Because Maria's personal bodyguard was a Body Straightening stage level 4 cultivator and the rest of her group was Body Refining stage level 8 Cultivators, she was confident enough to kill this black-robed youngster, after all, he killed one of her minions named Marki.
"Who did this?" Michael asked without showing any emotions in his voice. He knew the healing potions could momentarily stop the poison from spreading further.
Although Michael knew very well about Gaya's attitude and toxic mouth, he also knew she was not dumb enough to start a fight without him by her side. As far as he was concerned, even if she did something wrong, none had the right to kill her because for two reasons; one, he invested hundreds of Badass points on her, and two, she was his subordinate as well as his friend.
Unless Gaya went mad and massacred a large number of innocents crossing his line, he wouldn't let anyone hurt her let alone kill her.
"All... of... them" Considering she barely had Arch energy in her body and never came this close to death, her body kept shivering because of the shock.
Even with all those years of training to control his anger and emotions, when he saw the blood on her and the tears welled eyes, he started to get really really really angry. The reason was, back on earth he never had a friend or anyone close to him. Because he never cared about anyone except him, he never felt an emotion like he's feeling now. This long flying journey and the interactions he had with her strengthened their friendship and helped him bond with Gaya.
He was starting to think of her as a friend and someone nearly took her away from him and that made him furious.
"This is gonna hurt," Michael said and pulled the broken piece of the arrow out of her chest.
"Ah!"
He gave another healing potion and turned back to look at all the pink-robed men with the bloodied broken arrow in his hand.
"Miss Maria, stand behind me" the Body Strengthening stage cultivator behind Maria moved in front of Maria while all the pink-robed youngsters prepared for the fight.
"Kid stay your hand" the man warned Michael when he saw the cold killing intent in his eyes.
"Diddle...diddle"
However, Michael moved towards him while silently muttering these words.
"Death Ray!" The man didn't waste a second as he raised his hands and sent a golden scorching hot energy beam towards Michael.
"What?!"
"How is this possible?!"
"Holy!"
Many people looking at the scene thought the beam was going to turn Michael into ashes but the beam didn't even scratch him as a light blue energy shield appeared before the beam could touch him.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 2000 Badass points]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 3000 Badass points]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 200 Badass points]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 400 Badass points]
The system continuously ran inside his head. When Noah and Alicia saw the beam completely disappear after clashing with the light blue shield that appeared and vanished in a flash, they were amazed.
"Miss Maria, go ba"
"We are so little"

Before even the man could finish his warning and attack again, Michael suddenly dashed at him and began to stab him with the broken arrow.
"Ah Ah AAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
The blood of her bodyguards kept spattering on her face and in a few seconds, her pink top turned red because of the blood.
Many weak-hearted cultivators slightly turned away their gaze from Michael. Although Michael felt furious inside, he didn't show his emotions on the face.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a Body Strengthening stage level 4 cultivator. The reward is 18000 Experience points and 1000 Badass points]
"Kill him!"
"RUN!"
Among the remaining pink-robed youngsters, one could hear two shouts. A few of them including Solomon wanted to fight Michael while the rest of them wanted to flee the area rather than fighting Michael.
Whoosh!
However, Michael quickly targeted the three who were preparing to flee and dashed at them.
"Ignitia"
Zzzzzzhhhhhh!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a Body Refining stage level 8 cultivator. The reward is 6000 Experience points and 800 Badass points]
With one hand, Michael sent a powerful bolt of lighting towards a youngster. The lightning bolt pierced straight through the heart of its target leaving a large hole in his body,
He had a quick death but his two friends were not so lucky as him.

….
Michael disregarded the notifications as he was busy stabbing the two youngsters to death.
The blood and pieces of organs continued to splatter out of their body but he didn't stop stabbing them. The people were terrified looking at his ruthlessness.
Thu!
After a few seconds, Michael spat some of the blood that splattered on his mouth and turned his murderous look at Solomon and the two men and the girl behind him who couldn't help but shiver in fear.
Including some of the senior experienced cultivators, many were stunned and terrified as they watched everything without uttering a word.
"He's too ruthless"
"He killed a Body Strengthening stage cultivator just like that"
"Where did he come from and who the heck is he?"
"Those guys are so screwed"
"They are outside the airspace of the Phoenix island so the no killing rules won't apply here"
The people began to chatter.
"Do...don't...come near...us" Solomon stuttered. His face pale and his hands were shaking in fear.
"He's the one who killed our ride, Ghost"
Boom, the moment the people heard Gaya call him Ghost, the system notifications started to repeatedly ring inside his head again.
"He's Ghost!"
"The 5-star Alchemist of River town!"
"Holy shit!"
"The Ghost who won Heaven's gate competition and stepped on the 100th step?"
Noah and Alicia had a look of realization when they heard the astounding conversations around them. Noah heard nothing about Heaven's gate competition but he did hear about the 5-star Alchemist who could concoct pills and brew potions with 80% purity, only second to the Alchemy king Gabriel himself.
For the first time in their life, both Noah and Alicia felt threatened by someone, Michael.
