Hitman With A Badass System-Novel

Chapter 507 Onto the fire from the frying pan

　　The vampire who witnessed his friend get sent flying by Eve bore his teeth, showing razor-sharp teeth. The vampires wore dark robes from head to toe, and under the dark cloak, Michael could see their pale faces and crimson red slit pupils. 

　　Pulch!!

　　As the vampire stared at Eve, a spear impaled him from behind. Alicia lifted the vampire with her spear in the air and let Heaven's flame completely engulf the vampire. 

　　The vampire burnt to a crisp in a matter of seconds as the wind took the gray ash with it. The two girls stole Michael's thunder. But Michael was calm. Surviving the vampires was more important than showing off. End of the day, being alive was the most badass thing one could do.

　　"Eve!" Before Alicia could lock her eyes with Michael, Jennifer landed on the VIP stage beside her sister.

　　"Jenni." Eve embraced her little sister in a tight hug. Jennifer's face was pale because of what she had witnessed. The young girl was terrified. Michael could see her body trembling uncontrollably. Unlike her sister Eve, she was not a warrior trained in combat. She was an Alchemist. Her fear for blood and gore was the exact reason the Voldiguards spent their resources to make her an Alchemist instead of a warrior.

　　"Teacher!"

　　After Jennifer, Leilan landed on the stage. Seeing the four remaining vampires turning their focus to Alicia and Eve from Gabriel and Atian, Alicia took a step forward, grabbed her spear in two hands tightly, and locked her gaze with the four vampires approaching her.

　　Michael remained still and stepped towards the door. In the corner of his eye, he noticed the golden babaroo running around, attacking the vampires and clearing the way for the people to escape. The monkey was fast but not fast enough to save all the people. There were many people getting slaughtered by the vampires among the spectators.

　　"Come on,"

　　While Alicia was fighting four vampires at the same time, Michael reached the door with Olivia and Eve following him behind. 

　　Alicia noticed Ghost ignoring her, and her eyes immediately got filled with fury. 

　　"AARGH!" Alicia roared as she slammed the spear onto the stage, creating a powerful shock wave that knocked down the vampires as well as everyone except Michael and Eve.

　　"Bitch" one of the vampires snarled. Then, he dashed at Alicia faster than ever before. Michael noticed the vampires finally taking the fight seriously. Their inhuman speed stunned Alicia. Michael, who fought Victor, knew their speed. In a blink of an eye, the vampire appeared behind Alicia.

　　On the other side, the three vampires flanked Alicia from all directions.

　　"That bitch is dead," Michael amused inside. One less ally for Noah was one less enemy for him. 

　　While this was happening on the VIP stage, Noah was fighting the vampires on the ground. Fortunately, the vampire in the air observed the fight, not intending to join the battle himself.

　　The more people the vampires killed, the bigger the shroud of red mist around him.

　　"Holy blast, holy blast, holy blast" Leilan kept shooting plasma blasts in all directions hoping to hit the vampires. 

　　"Argh!"

　　After several tries, he hit something, but it wasn't a vampire. He hit Alicia, who was fighting four vampires.

　　With a stomp to the ground, Eve knocked down several chairs and pushed down Jennifer's head.

　　"Stay here," then Eve leaped into the air, raising her hammer in the air. 

　　Boom!

　　A vampire was about to bite Alicia in the neck when Eve brought the wrath of her hammer down on him. Immediately the four vampires dashed away, sensing the impending danger. However, when Eve's hammer hit the stage, a shock wave that was several times more powerful than the one Alicia created blasted everyone and everything. Even Michael stumbled and had to grab the wall to steady himself. In addition, the hammer made several cracks on the stage. Looking at the cracks widening, Michael didn't think the stage could withstand another attack.

　　while Eve was spinning her hammer  and creating a wind force that slowed down vampires, Michael went to the door, which was covered by the red mist,

　　"Get out of my way" Michael shoved Gabriel away from the door.

　　"Bastard," Gabriel almost lost his balance and was enraged by Michael's action.

　　Paying no mind to Gabriel, Michael placed his hand on the smoke. Michael felt a suction force as he put his hand through the mist. 

　　Michael conjured the dark flames inside the smoke.

　　Crack!

　　The red smoke faded away as soon as the dark flames appeared in his hand, revealing the door. 

　　Bang!

　　Michael kicked open the door to see several dark-robed vampires feasting on Eve's guards. At that moment, they all glared at Michael, blood oozing down their mouths.

　　For a moment, Michael remained still at the doorway, pondering whether he should exit through the hall with twenty vampires or through the open ground where a powerful vampire at.

　　"We can't fight them for long," Eve said to Alicia while swinging her hammer around her to keep the vampires from taking a bite off her. 

　　Since Michael opened the door, Atian prepared to drag Alred's lifeless body with him to the door. 

　　"Shit!" Leilan cursed when he saw the twenty vampires standing in line across the hall from one end to another. The marble floor and walls were tainted with splashes of red. The sickening sight of bodies with eyes still opened lying around nauseated Leilan. His face immediately turned green.

　　"You doomed us" Gabriel didn't fail to take a shot at Michael as he took a step back from the door,

　　"You wanna go that way, be my guest," Michael coldly said before stepping into the hall. Compared to the countless underling vampires and an Elder Vampire, battling the twenty vampires in the hall seemed a better choice.

　　Unlike Noah, Michael didn't wish to reveal he had Primordial flames.

　　Several meters away from Michael, Eve slammed her hammer on the last vampire's chest. 

　　"GRRR!"

　　The vampire growled in pain, but before it could dash at Eve, Alicia stabbed the vampire from behind with the Heaven flames-covered spear.

　　Killing the last vampire on the stage gave them all leeway to enter the hall. For some reason, the Elder vampire did not mind them entering the hall.

　　Michael had a bad feeling about the Elder Vampire's calmness. Yet, he was not planning to decode its plan. Instead, his highest priority was to get the hell out of the arena without revealing his identity as the Dark Lord.

　　Looking at Michael entering the hall, Olivia followed him behind. Then, Eve, Jennifer, and Atian dragging Alred's lifeless body, entered the hall. Lastly, after pondering their options, Gabriel and Leilan followed them inside the hall.

　　"Eve," Jennifer shivered, looking at the vampires in front of her. Except for their mouth, one could see nothing due to the dark robes and cloak. The vampires snarled, revealing their blood-covered teeth and two razor-sharp fangs. 

　　"Fresh blood," one of the vampires said in a croaky voice,

　　"We'll get through this," Eve hid the dread in her heart and pretended to be fearless. Fighting four vampires took so much effort from both of them. So Eve knew how difficult, if not impossible, to fight twenty vampires.

　　"Where are you going?!" Eve was startled to see Ghost turning his back and walking back to the door,

　　Instead of answering Eve, Michael closed the door.

　　"What the hell?!" Leilan tried to shout this time, but only a muffled cry escaped his mouth. Again, he did not want to agitate the vampires in front of him.

　　Alicia coldly stared at him. She directed her killing toward Michael more than she directed toward the vampires.

　　Again rather than responding to pointless questions, Michael grabbed a chair and stuck it against the door knob to prevent anyone from opening the door from outside.

　　Regardless of the situation, he remained calm, which surprised Eve. There was no fear in his eyes.

　　"Ghost, I don't think we can take on all of them," Atian said in a husky voice,

　　"You have a better idea? It's them or the one who knocked out Lord Hendrix in a second"

　　Recalling what happened to Hendrix, Atian's heart skipped a beat. At this moment, he could only pray Noah would somehow save Hendrix and himself.

　　"Why aren't they attacking?" Eve mumbled. Her words were barely audible to those who were near her. Yet the vampires who stood twenty meters away from her clearly heard her.

　　"Meat dipped in fear is tastier," a vampire snickered. After hearing his murderous voice, Jennifer felt a chill running down her spine. She felt like the vampire was looking at her while speaking those words.

　　"Follow my lead" Alicia took a step forward, and then, she looked over her shoulder at Michael,

　　"Don't get killed," 

　　Eve could sense the apparent tension between them. Last night when she spent the night with Olivia, she heard about what happened during the tournament. But, like most people, Eve also blamed Peter for his fate.

　　Alicia was lucky that Michael was a very patient man. Otherwise, he would have beaten the crap out of her just to wipe that stern look off her face.

　　However, before she could take another step, Eve saw a streak of golden light across the hall running through between two vampires. It took her a  moment to realize that Ghost had disappeared from her side.

　　While she was in shock, wondering where did he go, the heads of the two vampires near the golden trail dropped to the ground producing a sickening thud sound,

　　The vampires standing in a neat line were startled to see their friends dancing on the floor without their heads. The blood spraying from the two headless bodies interrupted the group's vision. Still, through the blood fountain, Eve vaguely saw a figure on the other side of the vampire line.

　　"Ghost," She mumbled, completely stunned by him. One moment he was there, and the next, he wasn't. Not only Eve, every single one was taken aback by surprise.

　　The vampires could generate any parts of their bodies in a few minutes but not their heads. Hence, when Michael cleaved the heads off their shoulders, they could only do one thing; die.

　　The vampires were immune to spells, arrays, and anything that was powered by Arch or Celestial energy but not to physical attacks void of any energy. Besides, the vampires remained still without moving an inch. Hence, Michael was able to cut their heads off with no problem.

　　[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a vampire. The reward is 100,000 Experience points and 3000 Badass points]

　　All the vampires turned around to see Michael staring at them with his two black swords in his hands.
