Hitman with a Badass System

Hearing Ghost, Hunter was shocked. He didn't get the full meaning of Ghost's words. Fortunately, Michael explained his plan in detail. A while later, Michael and Hunter reached the outskirts of Royal land using a teleportation scroll Michael bought from the system store. Since Hunter could disappear at any moment, Michael didn't dare to waste any time.

"This armor feels weird," Hunter said, wearing Michael's Lucifer armor. Although Michael asked Hunter to wear his armor, the latter chose not to ask any questions. Instead, Hunter just hovered in the air, looking at the golden church on the horizon. Michael stared at Hunter for a few moments. The armor looked menacing and terrifying. If any weak-willed men saw the armor suddenly, there was a high possibility of them getting heart attacks.

Looking at the armor's design, Hunter quickly got some ideas to enhance his own armor back in his world.

"Whatever you want me to do, we must do it quickly. I can feel the shadow realm's pull getting stronger," Hunter's voice was grave.

"Hit me with enough force to send me crashing onto the church," Michael cracked his neck, preparing to get hit by Hunter. With the energy radiation Michael felt from Hunter, he knew the latter was stronger than him. However, Michael didn't compare himself with Hunter. Time flew differently in each universe. The Hunter before him might have spent more time in his world, getting stronger than him. With enough time, Michael had no doubt he would become the strongest being in the universe. To do that, he needed to push away his current enemies.

"Just don't die," Hunter grinned. Soon, a golden light coiled around Hunter's wrist, forming the silhouettes of fire-breathing dragons.

Boom!

In a blink of an eye, Michael felt like he had been hit by a train. Before the brain could process everything and let him feel the pain, his body went crashing into the Holy Church's roof. Hunter looked at the tower, crumbling down, shaking his fist. His fist went numb after hitting Ghost. It was like he hit a metal wall. Hunter wondered what kind of cultivation Ghost was doing to be that strong.

DING!

DING!

DING!

The holy guards who saw the tower collapsing quickly ran the bell to alert everyone. As a result, the soldiers adorned in white radiant armor rushed out of the church. They all shot to the sky from the ground like arrows to fight Hunter, who was in the Dark Lord's armor. The moment the holy guards saw Hunter, their eyes went wide behind their helmets. It wouldn't be an understatement to tell they trembled at the sight of the Dark Lord. In just a few moments, fifty holy guards surrounded Hunter.

"This is fun," Hunter chuckled.

"Abomination!"

"Unholy evil!"

"We will bring you to justice!"

Hunter furrowed his crease as he had never heard such cliche lines before. He wasn't hiding his energy radiation but still, the soldiers remained without budging. The reality was the soldiers simply couldn't see Hunter's energy radiation as Michael did. Moreover, Hunter was oblivious to the fact that the Hydra's shout has robbed the cultivators of their ability to see others' cultivation levels.

Hunter threw a glance at the reluctant soldiers before looking at the sky above him from the corner of his eye. He sensed sudden energy appearing above him.

"Interesting," said Hunter. Ghost had informed Hunter about this. He briefly explained how someone or something might appear to spy on them. To his surprise, Ghost said he wanted them to see the battle. As per Ghost's request, Hunter didn't destroy the spy even though he could have done it with a simple flick of his wrist.

When Hunter returned his gaze back to the holy guards, a guard slowly moved forward with his spear pointing at Hunter. Despite being surrounded by countless soldiers, Hunter remained calm. It was a pity that the system went offline. Otherwise, Hunter would have received quite a sum of experience and badass points.

Hunter calmly raised his hand, drawing a skull in the air. The skull glimmered with bright white light.

"Phoo," Hunter sent a blow of wind to the skull as it began to grow from palm-sized to a skull three meters tall and two meters wide. The skull suddenly came to life, opening its jaw. Seeing the terrifying white skull, the soldier's body went rigid.

"ARRGGHH!" The soldiers screamed as he tried to stab the skull. However, the spear went through the skull. Before the soldier could pull the spear back, the skull swallowed the soldier. As soon as the skull touched the soldier, the poor one instantly turned into a puff of smoke. Even the armor wasn't spared by the skull.

"That was only a low-level spell," Hunter was surprised to see how weak the soldier was. Though the reality was the soldier wasn't weak, Hunter was too strong. The power gap between Hunter and the soldier to that of the earth to the sky. After all, in this world's cultivation stage, Hunter was at the Celestial Stage while the soldier was only at the Soul Refining stage.

Even if hundreds of soldiers attacked Hunter at the same time, they still wouldn't be able to harm Hunter, not even a bit. Following their fellow soldier's sudden death, the rest trembled. The soldiers swallowed their shock and tried to attack Hunter again. They wanted to kill Hunter before he could cast another spell. Attacking Hunter before casting another spell would have worked if Hunter wasn't too damn stronger than them. Simply put, Hunter didn't even need to cast spells. Instead, he could just crush them with sheer physical strength alone.

Hunter tilted his head with an amused smile on his face. He was pondering what spell he could use to kill them or just simply crush them to death as he would do to the traitors in his criminal empire. One after another, the soldiers standing behind the soldiers with spears started to cast the spells. In a few blinks of an eye, Hunter saw all kinds of shapes and symbols glowing in the clear sky.

"Quiet the fireworks," Hunter said amusedly.

Snap!

Hunter just snapped his finger as a powerful sonic wave destroyed everyone around him, including the spell casters. From the holy church's front lawn, Michael saw the bloody mist in the sky. He asked Hunter to put on a show but never expected Hunter to slay the holy guards with a single snap.

"Your Holiness," Michael turned around to see his holiness chanting something under his breath. It didn't sound like a spell but an actual prayer to his gods. Yet Michael doubted any prayer could save his holiness if Hunter decided to take him out. As far as Michael had witnessed, Hunter could destroy the church in a few mere moments.

"Your Holiness, get to safety. His target is me. You go somewhere safe. It's too dangerous here," Michael said gravely, pretending he cares more about his holiness than his own life.

"Ghost, accept your sentence!" Hunter's thunderous roar shook the church like an earthquake. It was a signal both Michael and Hunter agreed upon. Suppose Hunter felt he was going to disappear soon, Michael asked him to threaten him as loud as he could.

"I will buy you some time, your holiness," the old man was still praying with his eyes closed. The holy guards around the old man wanted to take him away from the church to the secret bunker. However, the old man didn't budge an inch. Instead, he tried to strike down evil with his prayer.

Sling!

Michael unsheathed his two swords before launching himself toward Hunter. As though nature itself had terrified, the clear sky turned dark and covered by storm clouds in a few moments. Michael and Hunter met mid-air, preparing to put on a show. Hunter flicked his wrist as a metal rod engraved with coiling snakes appeared in Hunter's.

When Hunter clasped the metal rod tight, the hilt lit up, turning itself into an energy whip. The radiant red energy pulsated energy along with a low-pitched whistling sound. At this time, Mutrad and several prominent figures in the Guardian guild appeared near the holy church using teleportation.

As soon as Mutrad saw Ghost fighting the Dark Lord, he creased his brows. Just yesterday Mutrad theorized that Ghost and the Dark Lord were the same people. He couldn't believe he was proven wrong.

"I won't give you a quick death. Instead, I will make you suffer," Hunter gnarled.

Hunter then swung the energy whip. Since Ghost asked him to put up a real show, Hunter didn't hold back. He swung the energy whip vigorously. Unlike swords, defending himself from a whip took a great effort for Michael. With swords or any other metal weapons, Michael could predict its trajectory. But with an energy whip, he was unable to, especially with Hunter's speed.

Nonetheless, Michael moved his swords with speed and finesse, blocking the energy whip. Unfortunately, every time Michael blocked the energy whip with his swords, the energy whip chipped a piece away. At this point, the Guardian captains flew straight to Hunter with the sole intent to bring him down.

While deflecting the energy whip, Michael looked around to see several people flying toward Hunter. He wondered where Noah was. Unfortunately, luck wasn't on Michael's side as Noah was nowhere to be found. Instead, Michael saw several men and women dashing at Hunter.

"Annoying flies," Hunter just waved his hand, shooting a powerful sonic wave from the tip of his fingers. Just like before, the guardian captains along with several guardians exploded to death.

"You won't get a painless death like that Ghost," Hunter growled, increasing the speed of his swings.

"Shhhh!" one of the wings finally brushed past Michael's hand. The energy whip burnt Michael's arm, completely scorching his skin. Just as Mutrad was about to join the battle when a vortex appeared in the sky. Upon seeing the vortex in the sky, Hunter stopped swinging the energy whip.

"I've been summoned," Hunter said, loud enough for everyone around them to hear him.

"But before I go, I have a gift for the holy church," Hunter raised both his hands towards the sky as Michael felt the clouds turning darker and darker. The howling sound followed by the dark clouds was nothing but ominous. Everyone was stunned to see the sky turning darker despite the time of the day.

All the clouds gathered around the vortex to create an ominous storm. The next moment, a meteor slowly emerged from the storm clouds, enveloped in fire. Looking at the gargantuan meteor above his head, Michael felt the urge to move aside from its path.

"No more churches in my domain," Hunter growled.
