Hitman With A Badass System

Michael twisted the spear inside the elf's body. The elf coughed up blood. He tried to cast a spell but the dark flames engulfing him prevented him from doing so. Michael pulled out the spear and stabbed the elf once again. Every time he stabbed the elf, the sky rumbled. Michael would have used his Soul Eater skill if it weren't for the people and soldiers on the ground.

"The Guardian Guild-"

The elf's words were abruptly cut short by another stab through his chest.

"I will kill them too," said Michael. The light of life slowly faded away from the elf's eyes. The golden spear in Michael's hands trembled. Countless runes glowed on its surface as the elf closed his eyes. To Michael's surprise, when the elf closed his eyes, he heard the loudest thunderclap in his life. It shook the entire sky as he saw several cracks appear in the sky itself. Bright rays of light peeked through these cracks for a few seconds before they disappeared.

Michael heard the system notification in his head. He ignored the system notification and focused on his surroundings. Although he had never touched the ground or cast any spells upon the city beneath him, the battle between him and the elf had left the place in ruins. He could see the people running around screaming. Buildings were either on fire or in shambles.

However, Michael didn't feel any pity for the people. The thusians had done worse for his sanctuary. At least he didn't slaughter all of them like Booth, and his men did.

Michael tossed the elf's body aside. He knew they would send another one or make him their priority target after the Guild heard about the elf's death. Only Micahel didn't give a damn.

He slowly turned around toward the mountain that received the elf's beam earlier. According to the map, that's where the diamond was located. He cast the initial and flew toward the mountain. In a few moments, he reached the foothill, where he saw the entrance to the mine.

"Stop"

"OH shit"

As expected, a group of soldiers guarded the mine entrance. They were all at the core strengthening stage. Normally they would have been a threat. But to Michael, they were as weak as ants. Michale didn't even bother to offer them an easy way out. He raised his hand, sending a crescent-shaped wind blade. Despite the metal armor and runes, the wind blade cut through them like a hot knife through butter.

Blood sprayed out of their necks as their heads flew in the air. Before their bodies could hit the ground, Micahel entered the mine. The mine was lit with bright orbs of light. He looked closer at the lights and found that they'd been using diamonds to light the place.

"Fucking bastards"

Michael cursed the thusians as he made his way deep into the mine. Along the way, Micahel met a couple of patrol groups which he slaughtered without breaking a sweat.

The deeper he went, the brighter the place became. Usually, uncut diamonds wouldn't sparkle. However, the diamonds in the mine shined brighter than any normal diamond. Even without any light source, they radiated a bright light from within. Michael bent down and picked a rough-shaped diamond. It was surprisingly heavy. He could feel a tinge of strange energy coming from the stone. If he was right, this energy was Cosmic energy. Typical cultivators had no chance of feeling the energy, but thanks to the system and his god's blood, he was able to do so.

"Azazel," Michael contacted Azazel through the earpiece. In a blink of an eye, Azazel appeared before Michael.

"Clean the place out. I don't want any diamond lying around after you're done," ordered Michael.

"As you wish, my lord,"

Leaving Azazel alone in the mine, Michael left the mine through the way he came in. To Michael's surprise, when he stepped out of the mine, he saw Xanali waiting for him at the mine entrance. Unlike before, she was in her battle armor. He was covered from neck to toe with shiny red armor. Countless tiny snakes were engraved within the armor. Her red hair fluted in the wind. Behind her, elven soldiers armed to the teeth waited for Michael. They all had the symbol of the guardian guild engraved on their chests.

Michael turned his back on Xanali. He raised his hand as a bolt of lightning shot through the mine entrance. Immediately the cave collapsed. Huge boulders crumbled down, blocking the entrance. Michael slowly turned around.

"You're coming with us, Ghost," said Xanali.

"And why would I do that?" Michael innocently tilted his head.

"You harbored a wanted criminal," Xanali surprised Michael. He thought Xanali was here to arrest him because he killed the elf.

Without waiting for Ghost to respond, Xanali threw a scroll toward Michael. He caught the scroll and opened it to see the face of Gaya drawn on the scroll. It was her real face.

"We have proof Aelia is Gaya Ashton, the former princess of Nagaland. She is wanted for several crimes. By harboring her, you have broken the law,"

Michael was surprised. He couldn't help wondering how Xxanali managed to figure out Gaya's real identity. However, he wasn't planning to surrender as Xanali suggested to him.

"Are you hit in the head, Xanali?" asked Michael.

"I just killed a Half Immortal. What makes you think you can take me down with a group of Soul Refining stage warriors? And you, I can end you in a blink of an eye," Michael snickered. Lightning bolts began to appear around Michael's hands. They crackled and buzzed like a hive of bees.

"We don't want to fight you. Come with us and tell us where to find Gaya. If you help us find her, I will help you reduce your sentence for killing a Half Immortal from the Guild,"

The only thing that stopped Michael from ending Xanali's life then and there was his promise to Gaya. For some reason, Gaya did not want him to kill Xanali.

"You have five seconds to get out of my way," said Michael. He controlled the wind around him. The soldiers saw the wind swirl around him violently. The force of the wind pushed them back except Xanali.

"Time's up," said Michael, raising his hand. A powerful gust of wind shot out of Michael's hand. A crimson-red barrier appeared before Xanali, saving her from getting blasted away. But the soldiers weren't fortunate. They were sent flying like dolls. The barrier before Xanali cracked. Michael just stomped the ground as the shock wave shattered the barrier.  Xanali was taken aback by surprise when he dashed toward her. She reached for her sword, but before she could do that, he lifted her up by her neck.

"Guardian Captain!" The soldiers behind her finally regained their balance. They shouted as they rushed to save her.

"Do they know you're a Naga?" Michael snarled.

A glimmer of surprise and shock emerged in Xanali's eyes.

"If you piss me off more than you've already, you won't have a kingdom to be a princess," Michael squeezed Xanali's neck as her face turned purplish. He could see golden scales flicker on her skin.

Michael really wanted to snap her neck and end the feud between Gaya and her once and for all. However, this wasn't his kill but Gaya's. That was the only reason why Michael chose to let her go. He tossed her to the side before shooting toward the sky.  At that moment, the army stationed at the diamond valley reached the mountain. They prioritized saving the mine over the people. Seeing the army in one place, Michael stopped flying away. Instead, he turned around and descended down.

"Get out of here!" Xanali shouted, sensing the energy around Ghost skyrocket. The army cast countless spells at the same time. They all attacked Michael simultaneously. But Michael didn't even flinch. The responsive shield appeared around him, blocking all the energy arrows, fireballs, icy spikes, ethereal beasts, and swords.

Michael was about to cast the ultimate Ignitia to bring down the wrath of hundreds of lightning bolts upon the army when he saw a meteor soaring from the sky toward him. The meteor burnt with such intensity that it made Michael's clothes smoke. His focus turned from the army to the meteor. Michael clenched his fist, covering it with the dark flames, and shot toward the meteor.

The meteor cast a humongous shadow on the ground. The place darkened. Compared to the size of the meteor, Michael looked tiny. Despite the size, Michael punched the meteor with all of his strength. The meteor exploded, sending a powerful shock wave that decimated the army on the ground. Their collision sounded like an atomic bomb had gone off. Many lost their hearing due to the thunderous explosion. The meteor exploded into pieces, and they rained down upon the army.

Michael grabbed two large pieces of fiery stones in mid-air and threw them at the person who cast the spell. His throw had enough force to kindle the flames more. The fiery boulders soared through the sky and hit General Zakari. Michael ignored the army as his killing intent went through the roof. He recalled the face of General Zaakri. He was one of the men who accompanied Booth to the sanctuary. The moment Michael saw his face, his mind went blank as overwhelming rage occupied his mind. Michael dashed toward Zakari with lightning speed.
