Hitman With A Badass System-Novel

The words that came out of Michael's mouth sounded unearthly. It sent a chill running through Claire's spine. A wave of fear hit the core of the armored soldiers. Unconsciously they took a step back.

Michael was on the verge of going berserk on them. Every being in his body wanted to slaughter them mercilessly.

"Did you hurt…my Jane?" Baron Totonk grumbled.

"You know what?" Michael was tired of people accusing him with no evidence. Although he ordered Gaya to kill Jane, there was no evidence that tied the murder to him. He knew even if he hadn't done anything to Jane, these people would have accused him anyway.

Everyone stared at Michael's face to see what he was going to tell,

He took a few steps forward as Claire's heartbeat continued to rise,

"I…don't…give…a" He breathed between every word. He was battling with himself to block the thrust for chaos.

"Argh" suddenly Michael growled in pain. He lowered his head as he placed Nightmare on the ground.

"Yaaawn" the little dragon slowly opened his eyes while yawning. Claire and Ricky saw the side of his face while the baron and his men could only see the top of his head. They could vaguely hear him mumble something under his breath.

"Give what?" The baron asked, gritting his teeth. His grief and booze he drank made him lose all the reasons.

"Give a fuck about what happened to that bitch"? His words stunned the baron. It took the baron a couple of seconds to sink in what he just said. Michael's voice became more animalistic, it was unearthly.

When the words finally reached the baron's head, he stomped the ground in anger.

"Shit something's wrong with Ghosty" Abruptly the door to the throne hall shut closed with a loud bang.

After the door shut closed, suddenly the curtains covering the windows also began violently fluttering in the wind. The wind was so powerful that it forced Nightmare and Claire to step backward.

"Ghost" Claire wasn't worried about Ghost but worried about the soldiers and the baron. Regardless of the sudden darkness that enveloped the throne hall, she walked towards Ghost to calm him down.

"Claire…let's go" As she walked closer to Ghost, she heard his words. The violent wind somewhat calmed down. Noticing he addressed Claire with no title, she knew something was wrong. She wanted to take him away from the soldiers and the baron. His voice sounded normal rather than animalistic as before.

"Ricky, we are leaving" Claire ignored the baron, ordering Ricky to leave the throne hall before Ghost did something that everyone would regret later. She even doubted they would be alive to regret their decision to mess with him.

"I'm gonna rip that tongue out bastard!" Baron Totonk trembled in anger before leaping into the air.

A gigantic war hammer plated silver materialized in the baron's hands in the mid-air.

"Moon Wave" Claire stomped the ground, turning back. She pointed her finger at the baron as a sparkling crescent-shaped wave shot out of her fingers. The blade gradually became wider and bigger as they flew towards the baron.

Before the baron could react to the crescent blade, the wave hit the baron and sent him flying backward as though he was a kite without an anchor in the storm. Except for the old mage Yenob, the soldiers didn't see what just happened. Claire's movements were lightning fast.

"Back off!" Claire stomped the ground once again as the ground split open. The cracks formed until they reached the feet of the soldiers.

Yenob was pleasantly surprised by Claire. She seemed to be at the peak of Core Formation. The old man wanted the baron to accept their fate and move on but he saw the baron stand up with shelved hair, trembling in anger. A battle was inevitable, Yenob knew.

"What are you morons looking at? Kill them"

Nightmare flapped his wing to appear before Claire. He immediately transformed himself. The soldiers shivered seeing an 8ft dragon staring at them with puffs of smoke coming out of its nostrils. Nightmare's crimson scales began to glow in bright orange.

"Baron…you really don't want to do this. I can hang you for disrespecting your king"? Claire glanced at Michael to let them know who he is now to them. He was still showing his back to them.

"You… stupid idiots" Once again, Michael's animalistic voice echoed through the throne hall.

"You wish for death so bad" the violent stormy wind returned. The howling sound of the win gave an ominous feeling.

"Ghost" Claire tried to touch his shoulder as he finally looked up, showing his face.? When he turned around, Claire's heart skipped a beat. She felt a chill running through her spine. Unconsciously she stepped back and so did Ricky.

There was no white in his eyes anymore, except for his pupils, everything turned pitch black. His pupils were fiery red, like a demon. Lightning bolts began to form around his arms as he walked towards Baron Totonk.

He may have become a king but the soldiers and Yenob's instincts to protect their lord kicked in. Regardless of a dragon standing before them, they rushed towards the baron.

"Ghost Stop!" Claire dashed at Michael when he was just a couple of meters away from the baron.

"Don't!" Claire heard his cold beastly voice before getting blasted by an invisible force.

"Meri!" Nightmare shouted when Claire was sent flying by Ghost. With a flap of his wing, he dashed at Claire. However, the force that hit Claire was far greater than anyone could imagine. She hit the wall creating a loud thud before falling down to the ground unconscious.

Michael seemed to give no shit about what happened to Claire. He continued to walk towards the baron.

"Hallowing Bolt" Yenob immediately pointed his staff at Michael as a bolt of purple energy blast shot out of the staff. The Responsive shield immediately appeared to absorb the blast but since Yenob was at Core Strengthening stage level 3, it couldn't completely absorb the attack. The remaining force hit Michael, sending him sliding away from the baron.

"I will grant your wish" His pupils glowed brighter while the golden lightning bolts dancing around his arm became thicker. They produced constant crackling noises of electricity. The bolts of lightning coiled around his arm like hundreds of tiny snakes. The entire throne hall became darker. Regardless of the daylight outside, it was like evening inside the throne hall.

"Ignitia" Michael raised his arm as a bolt of powerful lightning bolt fired out of his arm towards Yenob. The death range enhanced his power exponentially. Before Yenob finish casting a defense spell, the bolt of light reached him. If it wasn't for the old man's quick reflex to leap just in time, he would have had a hole in his chest.

"Protect Lord Totonk!" one of the loyal soldiers shouted before dashing at Michael with his sword held high.? Ricky couldn't help shivering looking at the soldier running towards Michael. Ricky saw Ghost remaining there without even moving an inch.

Pulch!

Just when the soldier was a couple of seconds from cutting open Michael in half, the soldier froze in his path.

"Nard!" the fellow soldiers screamed. Behind their helmets, they were horrified. A hand was sticking out of Nard's metal-covered behind. The hand had a red oozing blop in its hand. Ricky's face turned pale as he realized the oozing blop in Ghost's hand was nothing but a human heart. The heart was still beating in his hand but it was soon crushed into a paste by Ghost.

"Uwah" Ricky immediately threw up.

When Michael retrieved his hand, the soldier collapsed onto the ground. Looking at Ghost staring at them with blood dripping down to the ground from his hand, a dread hit the core of the soldiers.

Still, they were surrounding the baron and waiting for Yenob to help them. If anyone could help them, it was their court mage.

"Anyone who stands in my way" A devilish grin slowly emerged on Ghost's face. It was not a smile that radiated warmth. On the contrary, it was a smile that created a tingling sensation in their spines in fear.

"Ignitia"

Just when Yenob was casting another spell, Michael sent another lightning bolt. He didn't even look at Yenob, he just raised his hand while keeping eye contact with their soldiers.

Yet again Yenob dashed out of the lightning bolt's trajectory. Currently, there were nine fully armored soldiers surrounding the baron. Even for someone at the Core Formation level 10, nine fully armored soldiers as well as a Core Strengthening stage mage was a huge threat but not for Michael.

The Death Range was cast by him without his command. It catapulted his overall strength to Core Strengthening stage level 6.

One step at a time, Michael walked towards the soldiers. He kept tilting his head left and right while grinning.

"Chaos blade"

"Savagery of Strength"

Two soldiers simultaneously cast spells that boosted their strength. They dashed at Michael. One soldier's metal armor began to glow in bright golden color while the other one become bulkier like the hulk.

They dashed at Michael from both sides. Michael grabbed the sword in one soldier's hand while grabbing the bulkier soldier by his neck. Before the two of them could wiggle, Michael simply snapped the bulkier soldier's neck.

The bulkier soldier collapsed onto the floor with a thud sound. The soldier struggled to release the sword from Ghost's hand yet he couldn't even move his sword an inch.

The other soldiers wanted to join the fight but they couldn't leave the baron unprotected. Hence, they saw Ghost pull the sword from their college's hand like taking candy from a child's hand.

Cling!

As Michael took the sword, he snapped the sword in half.

Pulch!

Pulch!

Pulch!

Pulch!

Pulch!

Pulch!

The soldier tried to dash backward but he was too late. Michael plunged the broken arrow directly into the soldier's shoulder through the metal armor. Without showing a shred of mercy, Michael kept rapidly stabbing the soldier until the soldier's lifeless body fell onto the ground.

However, his brutality didn't stop at that. He stomped the soldier on the chest, crushing his chest.

"Death and chaos…tsk…tsk…so beautiful"
