Hitman With A Badass System

After leaving Mazeroth, they all arrived at the dark forest. Michael ordered Elidyr to stay in the dark forest, watching over the sect and everything. He then immediately departed from the dark forest to the treacherous ocean with Gaya and Nightmare. He left Vedora in Elidyr's care. Vedora needed some ancient knowledge, and Elidyr was the best person to teach. The last time Michael went to the treacherous ocean, he was with Lailah. The momiers flashed across his mind. Everything started smoothly with Lailah, and the shit hit the fan at the end due to Lailah's impulse to harness the First energy. Moreover, the system was offline at that time, it restricted Michael's ability.

This time, he was filled with anger, motivation, and with Gaya and Nightmare. It took them a day to reach the outskirts of the rainbow island where Lailha lived. Michael wanted to go visit her and see how her spirit child was doing. However, Michael chose not to. The entire point of why Michael cut his ties with Lailah and the kid was to keep them as far as possible from him. Otherwise, if one day his secret were exposed, they would be spared from the backlash.

From the rainbow island, it took them another day to reach the treacherous ocean. Even in the middle of the day, the treacherous ocean looked dark and gloomy as night. The winter had no effect on the domain. It looked just as he remembered last time. The entire region of the sea was shrouded in a dark mist and stormy clouds. The sound of thunderclaps reverberated the entire sea while violet streaks of lightning kept lighting the gloomy clouds. Michael felt his power growing within him due to all the darkness around him. He floated in the sky for a moment.

"Where do we find this Wise Dragon?" asked Nightmare.

"Let me see my map," Gaya pretended to open up a map,

"Oh, there is no map,"

"You don't have to be a jerk about it," Nightmare rolled his eyes.

"You are a dragon. I expect you to sense him or whatever," said Gaya.

Michael remained silent. He was in the process of controlling his anger. Ever since he met Victoria, he couldn't achieve peace of mind.

"Let's go," said Michael before moving forward. He could distract his mind by killing the mutated beings in the treacherous ocean.

"Take the Perception pills," Michael ordered Gaya and Nightmare. With a nod, Gaya flicked her wrist. A couple of sparkling blue pills appeared in her palm. She threw one into her mouth and offered the other one to Nightmare. Although Nightmare had a special vision to see his environment, he swallowed the pill, just to be safe. The more they flew forward, the louder the thunderclaps sounded. It was as though they were entered into a raging storm.

Michael slowly descended toward the island covered in the mist. Unlike before, Michael was able to see everything around him despite the thick mist. He immediately took out the drones and sent them flying in every direction to recon the place. When Michael visited the treacherous ocean previously, he had the death aura of Nightmare, hiding his presence from the beings that inhabited the treacherous ocean. Considering Nightmare was well and healthy, he didn't have any aura to hide his presence.

As a result, Michael sensed several hostile beings rushing toward him from every direction. Nightmare and Gaya didn't plan to get caught off guard. They both sensed the activity around them using their own senses.

"Leave it to me," Nightmare leaped into the air from Gaya's shoulder. His size grew rapidly until he reached his full size. Even though Nightmare still hadn't reached his full size, he was still a terrifying ninety feet long dragon. With the dark horns growing out of his head, Nightmare looked like a Demonoid dragon. With a single flap of his large wings, Nightmare pushed back the mist covering them. The mutated beings hiding within the mist got exposed by Nightmare's action. At that moment, Michael and Gaya saw several creatures. Most of them seemed humanoid with typical features like two hands and two legs. But all of them were shriveled and radiated a strong putrid stench. These creatures were once humans, elves, and orcs who ventured into the treacherous ocean to unmask the mystery behind the dragon clan's disappearance.

But they lost their lives and were consumed by the mist. Finally, they were turned into these mutated beings that mindlessly attacked any living being that stepped onto the island.

Nightmare breathed fire on them mercilessly, turning them into nothing but ashes. Michael heard the system notifications continually ringing in his head. The number of experience points rapidly increased to the point he had received almost eighty thousand. Finally, after turning every mutated being to ashes, Nightmare returned to his previous size and landed on Gaya's shoulder. Michael and Gaya continued to venture deeper and deeper into the treacherous ocean. Nightmare used his dragon breath to burn them to a crisp every time they got swarmed with mutated beings.

"Why don't you stretch your muscles a bit?" asked Gaya.

"It'd be a good way to warm up before the big war with Thusia,"

"If you're trying to distract my mind off Thusia, it's not working," said Michael.

"Well, I have to try. Look, we both are in a kind of a pickle here. You want Thusia destroyed, and I want my mother found,"

"Both are not the same, Gaya. Your mother is alive. But everyone I grew up with is not,"

Gaya halted her steps. She grabbed Michael by his shoulder before turning him to look him in the eyes. Michael may not have said a word or seemed calm as usual, but Gaya knew his mind was seething with anger. She didn't blame him. Shee doubted she could have let Victoria live after meeting her again if she was in his shoes.

"I won't say giving a warning about you are coming is a smart move. You wanted them to live in fear, so be it. But get your head in the game. We are in one of the most dangerous places in this world. Just like you always say, you won't see things clearly if you're blinded with anger,"

Michael knew she was right, atleast about him being angry.

"I want them to be at their strongest when I crush them. Only by then, they will feel helpless, desperate and beg me to forgive them. Let them prepare. Let them get every ally they have to their side," Michael growled. His eyes glimmered with killing intent. She had never seen Michael like this before.

"Human," Gaya smiled, cupping his face gently.

"We will end them together. If it makes you feel better, I already have a plan in my mind for Thusia's total annihilation,"

"You do?" Nightmare tilted his head.

"Of course I do. Let's walk and talk," With Michael and Nightmare by her side, she almost forgot she was in the treacherous ocean. Instead, she treated this place like a park.

As Gaya said, she put her hand around Michael's shoulder and moved forward.

"The Thusians destroyed two kingdoms and are currently at war with three. The enemies of my enemy are my friends right? So we rally them against the Thusians. With your endless supply of potions and the combined army, we will destroy Thusia brick by brick, just the way you like it,"

"Why can't we just create a plague and spread it throughout the Thusian army and kill them single handedly?"

"He is not a lunatic, lizard. You cannot control the plague once it starts to spread. The people who live in Thusia did nothing to him. We cannot become the thing the Skyhall and the Guardians say we will,"

Michael nodded. But he knew that wasn't the only reason he avoided spreading a plague. The Thusians were in possession of a divine power source that was far beyond any mortal's comprehension. If Michael spread the plague, Maxim Barnes would use the Cosmic stream to cure the plague. It would not only cure the army, but also power them up. It would be such a pity for the Cosmic stream to be used in mortals. Instead, Michael wanted it for himself and everyone in the Order. Once he and his Order absorb the Cosmic energy with the system's help, they would have the edge they desperately need. Plus, fighting an army powered by Cosmic energy might force him to use Darkness which might expose his secret to the outside world.

Gaya explained all her plans in greater detail while moving forward. Talking about war, destruction and killing took Gaya's mind off of worrying about her mother. Continuing onwards, they suffered constant attacks from the mutated beings. With each wave of the attack, the number of hostiles that attacked them increased significantly. They moved steadily through the fog for seven continuous hours before passing through the region of fog and reaching the outskirts of The Treacherous Ocean. The mist became so thick that they could barely see anything.

Thanks to Michael's X-ray vision, he was able to locate the multiple illusion arrays around him. Last time, the arrays made him hallucinate Spectre, which wasn't a great experience for Michael. Lightning bolts crackled around Michael's hands. He sent several bolts in all directions, destroying the source point of the illusion arrays. In a few seconds, he destroyed all the arrays around them.

"When Eve knows we are going to war with Thusia, that crazy girl would be the first one to rush to the battlefield," Suddenly, Gaya thought about Eve. Speaking of Eve, Michael remembered the artifact that could enable him to break curses, a legendary skill.

Eventually, they felt a bit exhausted and wanted to take some rest. The place was desolate and dangerous, with no trees or caves to take shelter. But he didn't need anything when he had the system. He just bought a couple of comfy chairs from the system and lit a campfire to warm their bodies. Fortunately, the mutated beings temporarily stopped attacking, probably because there were no mutated beings in this part of the treacherous ocean.

Michael leaned back on his chair. He took a quick look at his status. Nightmare's kills gave him nearly two hundred thousand experience points. As a result, he reached Fusion Stage level 9.

"Half Immortal Stage, here I come," Michael thought in his mind.
