Hitman with a Badass System - Chapter 422

Chapter 422: Two Gods, Two ideals

Outside the kitchen, Noah was ghting all the armored gures by himself.

Regardless of their number, they couldn't get the upper hand in the ght.

Noah's spells were so powerful. However, Noah did not kill any of them. He just

incapacitated them as his mentor taught him. While ghting the armored

gures, Noah noticed the interruption in the rain of arrows.

"Light Blade" Noah cast the spell without chanting. A long sword sparkling

materialized in his hand. The armored gure surrounded Noah. Some of them

had swords, some had spears, and some cast a spell that turned their sts into

re sts.

Diana's heartbeat was getting faster by the second. Looking at Noah facing all

the unknown gures by himself made her uneasy. No one could tell which

cultivation stage the armored gures or Noah was at.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Noah swung his light blade at the three gures dashing towards him. The

gures with ery sts shot reballs. Nearly twenty scorching hot reballs ew

towards Noah.

The gures were fast but Noah was faster. He safely evaded their swords and

counterattacked. The light sword in Noah's hand clashed with their metal

swords, creating sparks of re.

Diana and Ethan looked in the direction of the kitchen. They were nervously

expecting Ghost to come out of the kitchen. They did not know what happened

inside the kitchen.

"Puriferous"

"Expinio"

"Recta"

"Exterminiatis"

After Noah knocked out the three armored gures, those who were behind

them immediately cast spells.

Ethan and Diana were stunned after they heard the spell casting. Ethan looked

at Diana with a terried look on his face. Diana's face was pale with shock and

terror.

The spells they cast conjured various objects such as a dragon head made of

ery red energy, rotating chakra, and thorns that came out from the ground

beneath Noah. The thorns tried to coil around Noah's legs but he cut the thorns

like butter using his light sword. A hot stream of scorching hot re was shot

from the dragon's head. It burned the marble ground beneath to ashes as it shot

towards Noah.

"Noah!"

Ethan, Diana, Xanali, and Alicia all shouted in unison.

"ARGH!"

Boom!

Noah let out a battle cry and swung the light blade at the stream of re

approaching him, splitting the re in halves.

The translucent light bubble around Noah ickered after the chakra hit the

bubble. The force of Noah's sword-swinging split the ground open. One of the

armored gures fell into the crack. When he tried to get out, Noah icked his

wrist, forming a light spear in his hand.

He threw the light spear at the gure. The light spear stabbed the gure

through the shoulder, pinning him to the ground.

Noah started to breathe heavily as he could count twenty people surrounding

him. In addition, he sensed more gures ying above the building.

"Teacher" Noah called his teacher in his mind,

"They can't keep the void spell for no longer than ten minutes, Noah. Five

minutes more and all the cultivators here would get their arch energy back"

Andreas's voice reassured Noah. Noah wiped o the blood dripping down the

corner of his mouth.

Noah closed his eyes as the translucent bubble became brighter once again.

"Increnuno"

"Reectenus"

"Clarasi"

"Scorchorus"

Some of the gures cast the spells and at the same time, the rest of them

rushed at Noah. They seemed to target only Noah.

Boom!

All of sudden, a loud explosion shook the entire building. The ceiling crumbled,

raining concrete bits and pieces down. The explosion did not even slow the

gures down a bit. Thick gray smoke came out of the kitchen and covered the

entrance. Diana and Ethan xed their eyes on the kitchen door.

Through the cloud of smoke, they saw two gures walking out.

"Ghost" Diana couldn't help letting out a heave of sigh in relaxation. Ethan too

slightly looked relieved.

When Michael came out of the kitchen, he saw nothing but ruins. His favorite

restaurant and the rst business he owned in this world were in rumbles.

The elders and the guests were hiding behind tables while many bodies were

laid on the ground under blocks of rocks. The arrows stopped fortunately which

meant Azazel had done his task successfully.

Gaya's anger was bubbling inside her yet she remained calm for Ghost. She

squeezed his arm.

Since they saw Ghost use his arch energy earlier, they kinda expected him to

join forces with Noah and ght the armored gures. However, Michael just

completely ignored the battle happening just a few meters away from him and

made his way towards where Claire and the elders were.

Surprisingly the armored gures completely ignored Michael and Gaya.

"What is he doing?" Ethan asked bewildered,

Michael stepped over an armored gure who was pinned to the ground by

Noah.

"Ghost, Aelia, get down!"

Gaya heard a familiar voice coming from behind a round table. However, she

sensed grief in the voice of Elder Reiner. Behind the round table, Claire was

sobbing. Elder Mark laid on her lap as Elder Reiner and Elder Sandra were

holding Elder Mark's hand.

An arrow was sticking out of Elder Mark's throat. His eyes were closed and his

skin was pale as white paper.

Claire looked up at Ghost. Tears were gushing out of her eyes. There were

several empty vials near Elder Mark. Everyone looked at him. But there was no

expression on his face at all. He stood there like a statue.

Inside, Michael was burning with rage. His rage was so overwhelming that he

suppressed the third persona completely. He was so pissed at himself. He

blamed himself for the ambush. His mind kept reminding him that he should

have been more prepared and careful.

"Go," Gaya said. She wasn't going to hold him back anymore. She doubted she

could hold him back anymore. She herself was burning with rage.

Granted Michael and Gaya weren't close with Elder Mark as they were with

Elder Reiner. Gaya was close with Elder Sandra too as she worked with Elder

Sandra managing the funds in the sect and Bradford.

Yet when they saw Elder Mark's lifeless body, both of them grieved. The death

of Jack ashed across their eyes. First Jack and now they lost Elder Mark.

Michael was standing on one end, Noah was on the other hand and the armored

gures stood in the middle. Several gures surrounded Noah as they focused on

Noah.

Zzzhhhhhrrrrrrr!

Zzzzzzhhhhhrrrr!

The buzzing sound of electricity reverberated the hall as bolts of lightning

coiled around Ghost's hand. The two black swords materialized in his hand and

soon, the lightning bolts coiled around the blades as though they were tiny

snakes.

"Teacher"

Noah called out to his teacher in his mind. Noah was stunned to see Ghost using

Arch energy.

"I...I don't know" for the rst time, Noah heard his teacher stutter without

having an answer.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward

is 10000 badass points]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward

is 5000 badass points]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward

is 4000 badass points]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward

is 6000 badass points]

....

The sound of notications kept ringing in his head like crazy. He completely

ignored them. When a rapidly increasing amount of badass points could not put

a smile on his face, one should know someone was about to get slaughtered

mercilessly.

Diana's jaw slightly opened as the images of the Dark Lord she saw in the future

ashed across her eyes. Those who surrounded Noah dashed at him despite

failing again and again to kill him. They seemed to be oblivious to Michael's

existence.

Michael slowly raised his sword as the golden lightning bolts coiling around the

sword became brighter and brighter. In the next second, a thick bolt of

lightning shot out of the end of the sword.

Boom!

The armored gure which got hit by the lightning bolt exploded into a red mist.

A Core Formation level 3 cultivator stood no chance against Michael.

The rest of the armored gures nally noticed Michael. They stopped attacking

Noah and turned their gazes at Ghost.

Noah could have easily overpowered the armored gures if he went for the kill.

Instead, Noah focused on incapacitating them. Otherwise, Noah would have

ended the battle long ago.

"Kill them, kill them all!" Claire shouted. For the rst time in her life, she

encouraged someone to take lives.

"No, don't!" Peyton and Xanali screamed from the other end.

The armored gures momentarily stopped attacking as though they were

interested in the conversation. Something about them rubbed both Noah and

Michael in the wrong way. They were acting more and more like puppets who

were being controlled by someone or something else.

"Diddle diddle" the cold words escaped Michael's mouth,

"You are so..." he slowly stepped towards the armored gures without an

expression on his face. There were two armored gures in front of him. One

was standing with a ery st while the other one was pinned to the ground by

Noah's light sword.

"Etheri-"

The one who was standing tried to cast a spell,

Pulch!

His chanting was abruptly stopped by a sword through his throat.

Zzzzhhhhhrrrrr!

The electric bolts slid through the sword to the armored gure. The gure's

body violently squirmed as smoke began to come out from the inside and out.

The lightning bolts turned his body into a pile of half-burned mess within a few

minutes.

"Ignitia" Michael turned his sword to the armored gure who was standing a

couple of meters away from him. The lightning bolt shot out from the sword

soared through the sky,

"Light beam"

At the same time, Noah raised his light sword as a beam of light shot out from

the end of the light sword.

Boom!

The light beam hit the lightning bolt before it could reach the target. When they

both clashed, a mini-explosion knocked everyone around them to the ground.

Their eyes were locked on each other.
