Hitman With A Badass System-Novel

Chapter 432 - Angels in the Nether Realm

"Students" Headmistress Kayla called out the students,

"Please be aware that after midnight, your cultivation will be temporarily blocked. You are only allowed to use your Arch energy during certain events. Now you can leave if you wish"

The new students excitedly rushed out of the door to explore the castle. Michael also left the table without talking to his fellow alchemists. He was not in the mood to make new friends.

Exiting the great hall, Michael walked aimlessly exploring the castle. Occasionally the first years would bump onto him. They all looked so happy. Michael felt slightly jealous of them because they were having the best childhood unlike him. While he was their age, he was smuggling drugs and getting beaten up by the drug and weapon traffickers.

He explored the grand staircase of Mazeorth which was used to access the various floors and rooms in the castle. The staircases were moving at regular intervals. There were hundreds of portraits hanging on the wall and they seemed to be talking to each other. Surprisingly some of them disappeared from their portraits when they noticed Michael staring at them. They looked afraid as though they knew he was the Dark Lord.

Michael did not mind them as he was getting used to being the Dark Lord. He started to accept the fact he was the Dark Lord. The more he embraced his identity, the more powerful he became.

After roaming around the castle for some time, he made his way outside, reaching the castle grounds. He walked further and further away from the castle under the light of millions of stars. What was in front of him was a massive lake and on the other side of the lake, was a forest which reminded him of the forbidden forests.

The forest was thick with trees, such as beech, oak, banyan, pine, and yew, as well as undergrowth such as knotgrass and thorns. With his X-ray eyes, he could notice the paths, brooks, and some clearings. Off the path, the way seemed almost impassable.

"System, something is blocking the communication between me and Azazel. Can you fix it?"

[Of Course, the system can. The host just needs to pay 10,000 Badass points]

The system's greedy voice sounded in his voice. Fortunately, he amassed quite a bit of badass points during the battle in Hades. By quite a bit, he meant 60,000 badass points. Because of the battle, he was able to afford the fix.

"Do it and scan if im being watched"

[Done]

Within a second, the system fixed the issue as Michael was able to contact Azazel yet again.

"Azazel"

"Lord Lucifer. I was trying to contact you" Azazel sounded slightly alarmed,

"Something happened?"

"You talking to Ghost?"

Michael heard Ayag's voice,

"Ghost we have a fucking problem"

Both Ayag and Azazel sounded alarmed, he wondered why.

"We are not the only one who has a portal to the Nether Realm. There is someone else harvesting the undeads" said Ayag. She was quite annoyed rather than alarmed.

They came out of seclusion because of Cain as he said he was having a bad feeling. She hated him for being right every single time.

"What do you mean harvesting?" asked Michael,

"They are putting the undeads into cages and teleporting them to who knows where through a portal. They are capturing all the powerful undeads" Sarba explained to Michael,

"Do you know who they are?"

Somehow Michael doubted they would know the answer because whoever they were, they must be extremely powerful and if they were harvesting the undeads, they were planning something nefarious. Powerful people with nefarious reasons would rarely be careless enough to let their identity be known to others.

"No my lord but they all look like angels, wings and metal armor," said Azazel,

"Ironic isn't it, angels harvesting undeads"

"Ghost, I have ordered Azazel to stop summoning undeads through our own portal. It might draw the attention of these unknown people"

Michael heard Cain after Ayag. If he was there, he would have done the same. He was glad Cain was there to deal with things when he and Gaya weren't around.

"We should monitor them continually before resuming the summoning. If they are building an undead army just like us, we will need an army more than ever. So we can't stop the summoning forever" Want to see more chapters? Please visit p a n d a -n o v e l .c o m

"Hmm. Record everything. Do as you said but if they notice you, order Dular to destroy the portal opener immediately"

"Will do" Cain agreed,

"Where is Gaya? Let us talk to her but don't tell we asked"

"She's not here," Michael said to Ayag,

"Someone's coming. Talk to you later" Michael quickly closed the connection when he heard rustling from behind,

He slowly turned around,

"What are you doing here all alone?"

The young professor he saw at the staff table was standing in front of him with her brow arched up. There was no one in the area except him and the professor.

"Just sightseeing professor"

From far away, Wilkas and Nightmare were looking at them. If it wasn't for the professor, they would have gone to meet Ghost.

"You are planning something 66 and whatever you're planning, it's not gonna happen as long as I'm here but" she came closer to him.

"If you do something" her voice turned seductive as she ran her fingers through his chest,

"I can overlook and even give you some extra credits" she whispered into his ears seductively

[Scan completed. The host is only being watched by Nightmare and the Half elf]

The system encouraged him to make a move on the professor. It sounded amused,

"Is that so?" Michael wrapped his arm around her wrist.

"Sounds dirty but I like it" Michael pulled the professor closer to him. They both could feel each other's warm breath brushing past their faces.

"I hope you don't mind the fact I'm engaged" he gently bit her ears before whispering.

Gaya, who was disguised as the professor, shivered with mixed feelings. Her anger was soaring through the roof and tears formed in her eyes without her control,

"Nice disguise but you forget to remove the ring on your finger, professor" he chuckled,

Her mind went blank for a second. The tears rolled out of her eyes as she felt so relieved knowing that he wasn't going to cheat on her. She planned to prank him, expecting him to chase away her thinking she was a professor. But her prank backfired chaotically when he did the opposite of her expectation.

"You fucking bastard" she began to pound his chest,

"You gave me a heart attack. Don't do that again, I will kill you"

She became madder looking at Michael who was laughing. It was because she looked extremely cute when she was mad and he couldn't resist the urge to laugh.

Wilkas was confused as he was staring at them with wide eyes. He never expected the human to be so lovey-dovey with a professor. Nightmare on the other hand was completely stunned. It took him a couple of minutes to notice the ring on the girl's finger. He finally realized what just happened.

"How did you end up like this?" Asked Michael. They were still too close to each other. Gaya was hugging him as though she was a koala bear.

It only took her a couple of minutes to explain to him what happened after she was teleported away by the system. After her story, Michael told her about what was happening in the Nether Realm.

And just as they were about to talk about finding the dark elf, Gilrine came carrying a bucket full of grayish mushrooms.

"Huh?" Gilrine squinted his eyes as for a second, he could swear they were hugging each other. However, when he realized the girl was the new professor, he dismissed the thought and cursed himself for thinking like that,

"What the hell are you doing?" Before Gilrine could ask anything, Gaya shouted at him. The big man started to get freaked out by the new professor.

"Professor Alani asked for these rain cloud mushrooms, Professor Steinmeyer"

"I assume these are for that moron who got his ass kicked by a dwarf"

Gilrine was shocked to see Gaya calling a student moron. He had never seen a professor utter such a word so casually,

He scratched his head, thinking about what to say next,

"I heard Professor Lane is talking about suspending that moron. It was funny actually, first, he got his ass kicked by a dwarf and now he's facing a suspension for getting his ass kicked" Gaya laughed,

"What was that about?" asked Michael. Professor Jane was the dark-robed professor with dark hair who was slapping a student in the great hall before the sorting ceremony. Michael was curious about what happened,

"Simple version, the guy is a Warrior. Because of some reason, he chose to squabble with a dwarf in the house of blacksmiths. According to him, the dwarf carefully planned and ambushed him which is utter bullshit. He got his ass handed over to him by the dwarf"

"So what's gonna happen to the dwarf professor?" Since Gilrine was looking at them, Michael addressed Gaya as Professor.

"Nothing," Gilrine said,

"He is a warrior and in house Warriors, getting beaten up by the other house students is considered a shame as the Warriors feel they are superior to the others. The student is lucky the head prefect did not expel him"

Now Michael understood what was going on here. However he had one doubt,

"Professor Steinmeyer, I thought you are the head of House Warriors"

"I am," Gaya said,

"Professor Serine Jane is head of Alchemists and I heard he's been eyeing the Combat teacher role for some time. Isn't it true, Gilrine?" she turned her gaze towards Gilrine who felt uncomfortable talking about the politics amongst the staff in front of a student.

Seeing how he react, Gaya rolled her eyes,

"I heard this from a student and it seems everyone knows it. No point in hiding you big dumbo" She stepped towards Gilrine,

"As the head of house warriors, I have the right to know everything related to my house and you're gonna tell me everything" Gaya put her hand on Gilrine's shoulder and smiled. That smiled freaked him out more,

"Or I'm gonna shove those mushrooms so far up your ass and you will taste them in your mouth"

She left the area after threatening Gilrine.

"God, what just hit Mazeroth?" Gilrine mumbled under his breath looking at her figure disappearing into the darkness.
