Hitman With A Badass System

Chapter 133 - Celina Is Here

"Alright, I have one last thing to do before going to River town," said Michael thinking about the new spell in his arsenal, the Ring of Fire spell.

"Ah the new spell, give it to me" since they shared almost everything, she came to him asking for the new spell. She also wanted to learn this new spell.

"Knock yourself out" This wasn't a spell he bought from the system, therefore, he simply decided to share this spell with her, only with her.

"Hmm, a Rare spell"

"Baby Dragon" while Gaya was running her eyes through the spell scroll, he shouted for his pet. Up until now, he didn't come up with a badass name suitable for this dragon, so he was calling the baby dragon a baby dragon.

Of course, Gaya suggested the following names; Ugly lizard, Dicky, Assoholan, Shit face, and many other weird foul names. The baby dragon had taken note in its little heart, plotting its revenge against her in the dark.

The one good thing that came up from their bickering was the baby dragon's gender, the baby dragon was a boy which made their rivalry even worse.

The one common thing they had was food, both of them shared an enormous appetite. He even wondered how this baby dragon's stomach held that much food.

"Huhuhu '' the baby dragon came hopping to him, then it clawed its way to his shoulder not before sending a blob of saliva to the spell scroll in her hands.

"Ewww, one day I'll make you eat a boatload of shit"

"Huhu" the baby dragon chuckled but his chuckled was stopped when a tiny orb of fire hit his head.

"HUHUHUH!" he hissed looking at the orbs of fire dancing above Gaya's fingers.

"Burn my hair, you can't even light a candle, a rare kind of dragon you are, hehe" Unlike Michael, she perfectly understood the meaning of the baby dragon's 'huhus'

"Stop it you two," Michael chuckled making his way to one of the construction sites. Where Michael was going to is the construction site of the office building Gaya was planning to build in the near future.

The ground was barren, only a bunch of practice dummies could be seen on the site. He asked Jack to place these dummies to test the power of the new spell.

When he stepped outside, a gentle cold evening breeze brushed past him refreshing him from top to bottom. For a few moments, he stood still to feel the soothing breeze, becoming absorbed in the music of crickets, letting the gentle energy of nature wash in. He looked up at the sky to see countless stars glistening in the sky.

"Do you need a moment?" Seeing him standing still, she asked, almost chuckling.

"Huhuhuhu" the baby dragon watched the evening sky and then, it said something brushing its scaly nose on Michael's chin,

"What's he saying?"

"That lizard is saying that looking at this sky makes him hungry"

"Huhu" the baby dragon nodded making puppy eyes,

"You just ate, no meat for your little scaly butt" Michael flicked the baby dragon on its forehead making Gaya grin in joy.

"Huhu!" the baby dragon protested by headbutting him as he went to the ground.

Considering the sun has long disappeared into the horizon, most of the workers went to their tents while some went into the first to hunt for fresh meat.

After reaching the construction site, Michael stood in the middle staring at all the dummies around him. Gaya kept her distance to protect her clothes from getting burned.

"Ring of Fire" he mumbled these words under his breath, controlling the Arch Energy in his body. The next moment, a golden circle with many inscriptions appeared in the form of a holograph on the ground around Michael. Soon, the golden circle disappeared as waves of blazing fire swept the 5m radius area. Unlike the spells he bought from the system, he had a hard time controlling the flame blazes' direction and power. Those blazes didn't sweep across the area around him in a perfect circle but swept across chaotically. While he was trying to exact control over the blazes, from the ground appeared a circle of fire, turning everything into ashes within the circle except him. The blazes had already charcoaled the dummies but the circle of fire was hot, too hot to the point that it turned even the mud and dirt into ash.

From afar, drops of sweat could be seen on Gaya's face. She felt the temperature rise significantly, to the point she had to use Arch Energy to protect her skin from getting burned. What stunned her was she is a Core Formation warrior while the spell caster Michael was just a Body Strengthening stage warrior, yet, the spell had this effect on her.

Even a group of Body Strengthening stage warriors with no defense shield around them wouldn't be able to withstand the heat for more than a couple of seconds if he used all of his Arch Energy.

At the moment, he was only using half of his energy to get the hang of this spell.

"52% mastery" Michael willed the system to show mastery over this spell. He still had a long way to go before reaching 100%.

The only way to reach 100% was to practice this spell every single day and increase the Arch Energy he put into the spell little by little.

"A bunch of Netherels would make a fine target for this spell," Michael thought. The mere thought of him killing hundreds of Netherels to farm experience points gave him goosebumps. It was the ultimate shortcut to reach the pinnacle.

"After this, you really should stop learning new spells" Gaya warned him after the hot blazing fire around him faded away.

"I don't? know you know this or not, but learning too many spells will cause your Arch Energy to become weak and damage your brain"

"How many spells should one learn?" Michael asked,

"It depends on one's cultivation level and the power of the spell. Typically, a Body Strengthening stage cultivator should learn only four to five spells" he was an exception because of the system but even he had to stop learning any more new spells before reaching the next stage.

If not for this restriction, he would have learned all the spells he got from the cave turning into an absolute monster.

"This is for the best, I should upgrade the already existing spells before learning new spells, not that I need to learn new spells," he thought inside, for the next few seconds, he focused on all his spells before creasing his brows, " I need to figure out a way to utilize the Wind Blast spell"

In his arsenal, Wind blast was the least used as well as least powerful spell. The system rewarded him with this spell and although he didn't use badass points on this spell, this still occupied his arsenal of spells, preventing him from learning a new spell.

"From tomorrow, you're gonna help me train my sword skills" As a standalone spell, Wind Blast was a weak spell but he decided to combine this spell with his sword skills. Using one hand to swing the sword and the other to cast the wind blast might be the best way to utilize the full potential of the spell. Killing the Netherels in the Abyssal might also give him a new perspective about the Wind Blast spell.

"Get ready to get your ass kicked, Ghost" when he uttered his name, she grinned devilishly almost certain she was going to beat the heck out of him tomorrow.

"Oh," Michael smiled inside and stepped closer to her,

"Wind Blast"

"Ah! The sudden blast of wind almost lifted her skirt up, she was caught off guard.

"Lightning Dash"

"Stop you bastard!" she screamed, chasing him behind to make him pay for what he just did.

****************************

The halo of the horizon arrived with golden grace. On the large luxurious bed of Michael, he was sleeping with the baby dragon curled up on his chest. Last night was a great exercise making Gaya chase him around the sect, even without a spell-like Lightning Dash, the snake was damn fast. After they got tired, they laid on the green grassland staring at the night sky before they came to their home searching for the comfort of the bed.

While he was rolling on his bed, he heard knocks on his door.

"Brother Ghost, Sister Aelia wake up!" Michael opened his eyes, he knew it was Jack outside the door. His voice contained a hint of panic,

"what awwww little shit" Gaya yawned slowly opening her eyes,

"Sister Aelia wake up! The Baron and his men are on their way here!" Soon, the sleepiness in their eyes disappeared, instead, an amused expression flashed across their faces.

"So they finally decided to show up huh?" Michael put on his black transparent full sleeve shirt.

"Huuuuuu!" the baby dragon also yawned, blinking his eyes, he woke up.

"Come on, baby dragon, we have a bitch to deal with" as these words escaped his mouth, he flicked his wrist as two green pills appeared in his hand.

The two pills were the size of a baby's fist, they radiated a smell of rusted iron. The baby dragon twitched its mouth when he took a whiff. Michael tossed the pill into his mouth, swallowing the pill he made his way to receive the baron and his men.
