Hitman With A Badass System-Novel

Chapter 421 - Gruesome Massacre

Gruesome Massacre

Michael could hear the sound of battle outside. But more than the sound of spells, the sound of arrows shattering glass and utensils rolling on the ground could be heard louder. He was surrounded by fifteen Body Strengthening stage level 10 cultivators. At the moment, they all looked like dead bodies to Michael because they would soon be.

"Chop him to pieces" one of the ninjas ordered the others as they dashed at him. Michael on the other hand did not unsheath his words or cast any spells. Instead, he grabbed the kitchen knives from the nearby table where the soup was boiling in the pan.

The ninjas zig-zagged towards him. Surprisingly Michael did not hear them casting any spells. Michael couldn't care less how they managed to perform chantless spell casting.

Some of the ninjas stayed behind and fired arrows made of black energy.

Those ninjas who dashed at him swung their daggers at Michael. The responsive shield spell formed a transparent blue bubble around him. When the arrows hit the bubble, they just disappeared. In a blink of an eye, Michael grabbed the ninjas by their hands before they could cut him.

Pulch!

Pulch!

Pulch!

Pulch!

He stabbed both the ninjas in their chests violently. The blood kept splashing out of their bodies.

Boom!

He threw the two ninjas onto the others. The ninjas had lightning-quick reflexes so they avoided the two dead ninjas. He did not stop at that as he grabbed the soup bowl and threw the bubbling hot soup onto the ninja dashing towards him.

"AHHH!"

One unfortunate ninja's skin was completely burnt by the soup because the ninja did not have any defense spell cast on him like the rest of them.

"Ring of Fire" he raised both his hands at the ninja who was screaming in agony. Out of his hands, a scorching hot stream of fire came out. The fire burned the ninja into a pile of dust within a few seconds.

Surprisingly the ninjas did not back off. Instead, they dashed at him more furiously. Michael showed no mercy to them. He grabbed one ninja by his hand, slamming him onto the table where Raylene used to cut meats.

This time the ninjas threw star shaped shurikens at him. Countless shurikens glowing in crimson red flew towards him. Yet all of them burnt to a crisp when they came to contact with the responsive shield.

He grabbed the cleaver on the table as the ninja on the table squirmed frantically. Three ninjas leaped at him to save the ninja on the table.

"Ignitia" holding the meat cleaver in one hand, sent bolts of lightning at the ninjas approaching him with the other.

Zzzrrrhhhh!

Zzzrrrhhhh!

"Argh!"

"Argh!"

"Argh!"

The lightning bolts hit their target with deadly accuracy. The ninjas dropped dead to the ground and all of them had a hold right between their eyes.

"AHHHHHHHHH!"

This time, an ear piercing squeal came out from under the table. It was Gloria who witnessed Michael chopping the ninja on the table to pieces with the meat cleaver. She couldn't hold back her scream. In her life, she had never seen such a gruesome killing.

Until now, she was looking at him killing the other ninjas and keeping her mouth shut. But when she saw him chopping the ninja into pieces, she couldn't hold back.

The ninjas did not change their target. Even after seeing their friend getting chopped to death, they still rushed toward Michael without a sliver of fear for their lives in their eyes.

Outside the kitchen, everyone was still pinned down by the rain of arrows. Somehow the arrows pierced all their defensive spells. Fortunately, the arrows were still weak against physical objects. Those who survived hid under the tables. They could not see where the arrows were coming from. Hence, they couldn't fight back

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

All of a sudden, the ceiling above them exploded. Several figures jumped through the ceiling after the dust cleared. The crumbled pieces fell down from the ceiling, hit several waiters and opened up their heads.

The figures who jumped through the roof looked different than the ninjas in the kitchen. These figures wore thin plate armor covering their chests, shoulders, and arms. Silver metal covered the rest of their bodies.

Gaya looked over the table to see their faces. All of them wrapped white cloth around their head to hide their faces.

Gaya counted at least twenty armored figures. She wasn't sure if they were humans or elves or demihumans behind the cloth.

"I'm sick of this!"

Gaya was just about to leave the cover of the table when all the figures raised their hands up. The very next second, a gigantic chakra materialized above them.

She expected the chakra to do something other than glowing brighter and brighter and rotate in the air. The chakra faded away into thin air after a few seconds. A faint vibrating sound was still ringing in their head. It took these ambushers only a couple of minutes to turn Hades into a ruin. At the moment, people were hiding under the tables for their lives. Many waiters and waitresses lay on the ground in their own pool of blood.

Noah saved as many people as he could. Although Gaya hated Noah, if it wasn't for him, the casualties would have been much higher.

"I can't feel" suddenly Xanali mumbled,

"What's happening?" followed by Xanali, Peyton also looked horrified.

"I can't feel my Arch energy" Peyton started to breathe heavily.

Not only Peyton and Xanali but every single one of them except for Diana looked terrified. They tried to cast spells yet no matter how hard they tried, they could even cast a basic spell.

However, Gaya could feel Arch energy running through her veins just fine. She wanted to use this opportunity to end Xanali's life. It was obvious the chakra made them temporarily unable to use Arch energy.

Peyton read something about spells that would block arch energy flow in an area, making the place void of Arch energy. However, she had never seen the spell before. It felt as though she was teleported to the Southern continent where she would feel the same way as she's feeling at the moment,

Pulch!

Suddenly, one of the figures standing in the circle dropped to the ground. Everyone looked up and saw a spear made of glowing energy sticking out of the figure's leg.

All the figures looked in the direction where the spear came flying to see Noah standing a couple of meters away from them with a sword in each hand. A glowing shield formed around him which prevented the arrows from piercing through his body.

Gaya was not going to let Noah be the savior of them and steal the show. Besides, she knew about Michael's problem. She wanted to rush to the kitchen and help Michael before he lost control again.

"Don't move my lady"

Just as she was about to stand up, Gaya heard Azazel's voice in her head,

"I have located the archers. If you use your arch energy, the guardians will suspect you and Lord Lucifer. I will deal with the archers from here"

Since Azazel lacked a physical body and he couldn't leave the dark forest without Michael's help, he was unable to kill the archers hiding in the woods. He located them using drones and Spycams. It was either the ninjas were lucky or the ninjas were too skillful to pick a place in the woods that wasn't covered by any of the Spycams.

Azazel could count fifty to seventy archers surrounding the hades. They were rapidly firing arrow after arrow to pin everyone down. Azazel moved all the Spycams in the nearby area towards the archers. Each Spycam was made with stingers and poison. If Azazel could inject poison into the archers, he could put a stop to the rain of arrows.

"Fuck it"

Gaya was not going to stay still while Michael was losing control of himself.

"I can't use Arch energy fine, I will still reach him" Gaya mumbled under her breath.

"What are you going to do?" Peyton saw Gaya preparing to move out of the table.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

On the other hand, Noah was swinging his sword, cutting the fireballs fired at him by the armored figures. Noah was on the defensive but he was gradually moving towards them.

"Aelia wait,"

Diana tried to stop Gaya but it was too late as she leaped out of the cover.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The arrows and fireballs brushed past Gaya. Several fireballs blasted the wall behind her.

"Argh!" one arrow stuck her in the arm when she leaped into the air to reach the kitchen.

"What the?"

When she reached the kitchen, she felt a cold chill running through her spine. Her face turned pale. What she saw was a gruesome massacre.

Limbs, chunks of meat, severed heads, and burned pieces of cloth were everywhere. The floor was completely drenched in blood.

"Ghost" She uttered the word. Fear had suppressed her voice. She saw his back as he was holding a ninja by his neck against the wall.

As she approached him, she couldn't help feeling dread in her core. The air in the kitchen felt chilly and the flickering orbs of light gave an eerie feeling to the place.

The closer she got to him, the faster her heart started to beat.

"Argh"

Creech!

The ninja in his hand squirmed but soon, his entire body got ripped in half by Michael. Blood and organs splashed across the floor and walls. Throwing the two halves of the body to the corner where she saw a pile of mutilated bodies, he turned back to look at her.

Gaya stepped back in fear. His eyes were blood red, they were glowing as though someone lit a fire inside his eyeballs,

"I can control him but not for long" His voice terrified her. It was like his normal voice and Lucifer's voice had a baby together. The glowing red eyes were flickering as he talked

"We have to burn this place to the ground" Gaya conjured a ball of fire. They must not let anyone see what has happened here.
