Hitman With A Badass System

"Calm down Victoria" another voice sounded at the scene and Gaya noticed Evan, the other one who Ghost defeated at the finals. However, unlike Victoria, he had a warm smile on his face and seemed more approachable than his rival.

"Nice to see again, Ghost" Evan reached out his hand and surprised Michael with this gesture.

"Likewise" Well, if Evan was chill about what happened before, he wasn't going to hang on to it as he shook his hand with a gentle smile.

"Our scouts informed us that the sorcerer who is summoning them is at the ruins in the forest. Brother Alex and Sister Celina are currently on their way to apprehend the sorcerer. We should all go and help them because they need our help"

"I think I stay here and take care of the problem in front of us"

Why would he help that arrogant bitch and her boyfriend wasting his time and efforts? Besides, if Alex, a Core Formation cultivator was searching for the Sorcerer, the Sorcerer had to be at the Core Formation stage too. With his current strength, he was far from defeating a Core Formation Stage Cultivator unless he took a risk depending on his luck and the system. But taking risks and depending on luck was not something he would do, especially not when he could harvest Experience points like crazy.

His answer slightly surprised Evan as he expected Ghost to go hunt down the Sorcerer who was the root of all the problem rather than stay here and kill the Netherels.

"Our Senior Adam is on his way too and with him, the sorcerer is as good as dead" Victoria snickered as Evan looked at Sadie.

"What about you Sister Sadie, will you come with us?" Sadie stared at both Michael and Evan for a moment before letting him know her answer.

"Nah, Alex and Celina have all the backup they need. I stay here and keep the Netherels at bay" Most of the Silvermoon disciples practiced and excelled in psychic spells and mind-controlling techniques. These were their main weapons in their arsenal when it comes to battle. Sadie was not an exception to this and she knew her strengths and weaknesses well. That was why she chose not to go chasing the sorcerer because the sorcerer who was summoning the Netherels must have stronger Netherels around him. Since Netherels had no consciousness or living brain, none of her mind-controlling techniques would work on them, therefore, she chose to remain on the top of the wall where it's relatively safe, and when the time comes, she decided to slip away.

"Everyone from Golden Valley, stay here and keep the Netherels at bay if they choose to attack the town. If push comes to shove, kill as many Netherels as you can and collect their cores" One of the girls who was standing behind Victoria ordered Golden Valley disciples.

Michael hid his irritation from showing on his face as he didn't want to share the kills with anyone else. The more Netherels the disciples kill, the more XP he would lose.

"My fellow brothers and sisters from MorningStar, your priority is to keep the town safe from the Netherels. Do not go provoke the Netherel army standing outside. We must hold them until our Senior Alex and Sister Celina apprehend the Sorcerer who is summoning them "

While the disciples from Golden Valley and Morningstar were taking orders from Victoria and Evan, Michael planned to make the most out of this chaos.

"Aelia, come with me for a sec" Michael took Gaya and stepped away from the prying eyes for a moment.

"If you want anything, why don't you ask your new friend, that bitch over there?" before even Michael could say anything, Gaya cursed Sadie.

"This is no time for temper tantrums, you jealous snake," Michael said with a low-pitched voice and knocked her on the head.

"Ah!" Michael covered her mouth before she could cry out loud as she rubbed her head where Michael knocked.

"Now listen, do you know how to handle a bow?"

"Hmm" Michael's hand was still covering her mouth so he could only hear her muffled answer.

He took his hand back ignoring Gaya's scowl.

"Are you any good?" Considering his subordinates' killings also would give him XP, he planned to put the Legolas Bow in Gaya's hand and double the killing.

Hearing Michael's question, she didn't answer him but took two little stones from the ground. Under his gaze, she threw one stone high into the air and while the stone was in mid-air, she hit the stone with the second stone with deadly accuracy.

Even Michael couldn't stop his brows from arching up in surprise. Despite the height and the wind's strength, she was able to hit the stone with another stone with perfect precision. As the Earth's best assassin, he knew how difficult the feat was and acknowledged her talent. Initially, he was just hoping for her to kill some Netherels with the bow but now he realized he has a female Legolas with him.

He didn't worry about her cultivation level because she could stay on the wall and hit the Netherels in their head to kill them without stepping on the battlefield.

"Is that answered your question? if it didn't, put a fruit upon your head and stand there" She said like she really wants him to do that but he sighed and retrieved the bow from his storage.

The rather ordinary-looking bow may have gone unnoticed in others' eyes but the moment she saw the bow, she recognized its capability and value.

[Does the Host wish to give the Bow to Subordinate Gaya?]

"Yes"

The bow came with the quiver but not with arrows. The system already prompted him to buy 100 arrows for 1000 Badass points. Except Michael decided not to spend 1000 badass points for something that he could buy using Gold coins.

"Not bad, not bad for an uncommon bow. Where did you get it?"? She examined the bow and said. Every weapon and spell in this world was categorized into five types, Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. The Legolas bow was actually a Rare weapon but Michael purposefully made it release an energy signature of an Uncommon weapon as he didn't want to attract many eyes towards the bow.

"In a ruin"

"You didn't find any arrows with it?"

"I saw a blacksmith store on the way. He was packing his bags, so we can probably buy what we need for a cheap price"

"Yeah, he would be grateful to unload anything before running away from this place"

"Jack" Jack was busy using Ghost's association to try his luck with every beautiful girl he saw. When he heard Michael's voice, he immediately stopped flirting and came running to him. Sadie, Evan, Victoria, and everyone wondered what was Ghost planning but Evan and Victoria were busy organizing the team to go into the forest as a backup to Alex, Celina, and Adam.

"Brother Ghost"

"I need you to go to that blacksmith we saw on the way and buy something for me" Michael retrieved a pouch of coins and threw it at Jack.

"Buy all the Iron headed arrows with red eagle feathers" Gaya knew her arrows and in this case, the iron-headed arrows were more effective on the Netherels than the normal arrows.

"All of them?"

"Yeah, all of them you little shit" she slapped him on the back of his head and said.

"And buy two of the best swords he got" after Jack ran away to buy everything they needed, Michae gave the Mark 3 grappling hook to Gaya and joined back with Sadie.

"Isn't it dangerous for her to fight the Netherels?" Gaya wanted to give Saide an answer in her way but Michael's stern look stopped her from opening her mouth.

"You have no idea what she's capable of" Gaya's face was full of haughtiness and appreciated Ghost's vote of confidence.

With the Mark 3 Grappling hook, she could reach the trees outside the city walls and rain arrows of death on the Netherels from a higher vantage point.

"System, I wish to learn the duel wielding of swords" He finally used the card he got from the gift box he got after killing the Assassins. As usual, an acute pain appeared in his brain and after a few moments when the pain disappeared, he achieved 70% mastery in swordsmanship.

He could further increase the power of his swords skills by learning spells and techniques associated with swords but his current state was enough to slaughter these mindless Netherels.

"Why aren't they attacking?" Evan wondered and spoke what's in everyone's mind.

Michael also noticed this. The Netherels were standing and munching on some poor animals of the forest but they didn't move forward towards the River town.

"It doesn't matter why. What matters is stopping the Sorcerer" Victoria said and prepared to leave the place to join Adam while Jack returned carrying two bags.

"Brother Ghost, Sister Aelia" Jack handed over one bag to Michael and the other to Gaya.

"Not the best but it'll do" Gaya commented about the arrows and put them into her quiver as Michael opened his bag to see two ordinary-looking broadswords. They were nothing fancy but common swords made of steel.

Since he liked the black color, he approved the black hilts of the swords.

The sight of him swinging the swords raised Sadie's heartbeat and put a slight redness on her cheek. Evan preferred to use a spear and focused on mastering the spear but Victoria was a swordswoman, so she was surprised and shocked at the same time.

"Is he a swordsman?" Victoria thought but her train of thought was interrupted by Sadie's shout.

"What are you doing?!" Michael was standing on the edge of the wall with a sword in each hand.

"Starting the party" As these words left his mouth, Sadie saw him throwing his swords up in the air and jumping down startling everyone on the wall.
