Hitman With A Badass System-Novel

Time flew differently in the fire realm than in the rest of the world. Gaya lost track of time while moving towards the Fire Realm's center. She grew tired of killing the fire demons and beasts roaming in the realm, especially the three-headed black crows.

The Three-Headed Crows were abundant in the Fire Realm. They had very powerful combat strength and abilities that few people could guard against. A level 2 Core Formation Three-Headed Crow was more than enough to fight a level 6 Core Formation human warrior. However, since its opponent was Gaya, it couldn't exercise all the advantages it had. Usually, they would use their speed to hunt their prey. In Gaya's case, her arrows were faster than the crow. The only thing that stopped her from massacring every beast and crow in her path was that she had only a finite number of arrows.

Hence she fought some while fleeing from many though she could have easily killed them all. She didn't forget to get the cores after killing them as she wanted to give them to Michael.

Caw…

"Look another one"

Noticing another three headed crow chasing them from behind, Ayag warned Gaya. At first, when she brought Vedora with her, she thought they might become a hindrance but she was proven wrong. They were great companions, best lookouts, more than anything, they cared about her, just like Michael or Nightmare. Of course, each of the three had their own way of showing their affection but Gaya knew deep down they loved her.

"Let's move our asses before it brings more of its ugly friends" Gaya fastened her pace,

"Kill it, it's calling its friends!" Ayag shouted loudly,

"Yes you have to kill it" Cain did not shout, he was calm as usual.

Caw…

The crow shouted out loudly again.

"Fuck this" Gaya halted her steps as the bow materialized in her hand. In a blink of an eye, she fired an arrow from her bow that soared through the air and pierced the crow's heart. Unlike before, she didn't linger around for the crow to hit the ground so she could collect the core. She immediately fled the place because she knew the crow's group wouldn't be very far.

A flock of Three-Headed Crows was really frightening. They were incredibly fast, and they were extremely difficult to kill. Gaya could fight one or two but if the flock of 8 or 9 came, her life would really be in danger.

They had no idea how many Three-Headed Crows lived in this area. The entire woods was probably their territory. Also, these Three-Headed Crows were actually calling for their mates. If all of a sudden more than a hundred, or even a thousand Three-Headed Crows would storm in, she would have a hard time dealing with the situation.

Besides, she still had no clue about how dangerous Fire Realm truly was. If there was even Core Strengthening stage level 8 or 9 Three Headed Crow among the herd, there was no chance of her defeating that thing. Therefore, the best strategy right now was to run away from here.

After she had fled a small distance from the scene, they heard some distant cries coming out. All of a sudden, the skies above were filled with Three Headed Crows. All of them flapped their wings and started crazily chasing Gaya. The leading Three-Headed Crow had a gigantic body and was at least 15 meters tall, and its cultivation base was as Gaya feared, Core Strengthening stage level 2.

"Oh my god!"

Ayag exclaimed, "So many Crows, good thing we ran away"

"Save your breath and increase your speed! These Crows really live in a group, I think there are more of them." Cain warned Gaya. Gaya pushed all the Arch energy to her legs to run as fast as she could. Instead of flying, she used the woods as her cover. Even then, the Crow seemed to have sensed Gaya's presence.

"Why do I feel like he's chasing us?" Ayag asked.

"I don't think he will chase us forever. As long as the group stays behind we'll be fine."

She learned to be calm from Michael. Just like him, she wanted to take any tense situation calmly without overreacting. The last time she lost control of her anger, it almost drove her to the point she fought Ghost.

Ayag kept cursing as she was staring at the crow from Gaya's shoulder. Ayag felt shameful to run away from an ugly crow like that. Compared to Cain or Sarba, she took more pride in being a Hydra, an otherworldly being. Unlike the Core Formation crows, the Core Strengthening stage crow was incredibly fast, and it was only because they left the area sooner they were able to run away from the crow.

The Three-Headed Crow kept chasing while letting out furious roars. Its eyes were fierce, and it kept spitting black poisonous mist from its mouth which took the shape of a sword and pierced towards Gaya. However, the canopy above Gaya blocked the swords.

"Hmph! Keep pissing me off, once we are far away from your ugly friends, I'm gonna rip you apart" Gaya gritted her teeth.

"You want to kill it?"

Ayag was surprised. She had never seen Gaya battle a Core Strengthening stage beast before. Unlike Nightmare or Ghost, Vedora only had little idea about her combat prowess.

"Yeah the power gap between a Core Formation stage and Core Strengthening stage is huge but that doesn't mean Core Formation warrior can't beat the latter ever. With good plan and strategy, we can kill this damn crow"

She had a meticulous mind when it comes to battle because of her years of adventuring and battle experience. Even when she was in the middle of a fight, she could easily get hold of her and his enemy's advantages and disadvantages and come out with a plan to win the fight. Just like Michael, she never fought a battle where she is uncertain about the outcome.

Caw!

The Three-Headed Crow kept letting out furious roars. It was furious as it kept attacking from behind. The powerful energy coming from his body had scared off a lot of nearby Glass Wraiths and fire demons.

As for the group of Three-Headed Crows, they were ditched far behind, and couldn't be seen anymore.

"I don't think he will stop chasing us unless we kill him," Sarba said.

"Just let it come, we'll show him that he just made the biggest mistake of his ugly life" A grin emerged on Ayag's face.

Fire Realm was a really huge place. They ran another 100 miles, yet they were still in the same desolated area.

Gaya estimated that the huge group of Three Headed Crows wouldn't catch up anytime soon, or they might have even stopped pursuing. So, she stopped and stood firmly. As long as the Core Strengthening stage crow was far away from the Three-Headed Crows' territory, she felt safe.

The Three Headed Crow became startled upon seeing that the human had stopped fleeing. In its mind, a human should have kept running for their lives, it was really abnormal for her to suddenly stop, as it meant death.

Caw!

Nonetheless, the Crow didn't care so much. It dived down through the canopy towards Gaya to kill her with a single stab with its beak.

"You three, stay here" Gaya gently picked up Vedora from her shoulder to put them high on a branch.

"Hey you have an attack plan?" Sarba asked as the crow got closer and closer.

"I have a plan" Gaya turned back putting her bow back inside her space ring. She looked up at the falling leaves and broken branches,

"Attack"

She unleashed her energy as countless golden specks of light enveloped her body completely, causing the air to tremble and ripples to spread across the scene. The bright light made Vedora close its eyes for a brief moment. When they opened their eyes, there was a gigantic 8 feet tall 10ft long snake standing in front of them where they saw Gaya a moment ago. The snake was covered in shiny dark purple scales. It was Gaya's real form, the Naga form that resembled a cobra.

"Poison cloud!" Gaya hissed, a voice remained the same despite her transformation. A thick jade green mist of poison came rushing out of her mouth. In a few seconds, the green cloud of smoke enveloped the woods before Gaya.

Boom!

Finally, the crow landed just a few meters away from Gaya. However' its eyes went wide in shock seeing her full form. Due to the branches hitting the crow's eyes while it was flying through the canopy, it didn't see her transform or release poisonous clouds.

The poison had already gone into the crow's body when it inhaled the air.

Caw!

Caw!

The crow tried to call its friends but all that came out of its mouth was rough coughs. Gaya immediately slithered towards the crow. Although Gaya was fast, the crow still managed to react to her moves despite the poison spreading in its body.

However, it was not the open sky for the crow to fly around freely. The canopy and the thick woods restricted its movements but for Gaya, the surroundings were an advantage compared to the crow.

"Look out!" Ayag couldn't help shouting when the crow tried to attack Gaya's eyes using its claws.

Boom!

Suddenly a powerful blast of sonic wave hit the crow. It wasn't powerful enough to knock down the crow but it was powerful enough to blast every single feather the black crow had. In a blink of an eye, the crow turned into a featherless rosy bird. Gaya was stunned yet she avoided turning back at Vedora.

Caw!

The crow was pissed off as it let out an eardrum tearing shout.

"Poison flame"

Before it could shout again, Gaya spat a stream of dark-green flame through her mouth. The fire shot straight into the crow's eyes as Gaya's fangs grew larger.

In the speed of lightning flash, she bit the crow in the skin just above its wings. Since the crow didn't have any feathers, her fangs penetrated the crow's skin without any resistance.

"I guess I have some awesome powers" As the light in the crow was slowly dimming out, Ayag said to her two brothers excitedly.
