Hitman With A Badass System

Chapter 168 - Legendary Gift Box

The Angel's Veena appeared in her hands. She placed it mid-air and quickly began to play it with both hands. Every time she struck a note gently, it would shoot out a powerful sound wave at Michael.

"How dare you?!" the baby dragon bared his teeth seeing her attack them. His dragon instincts kicked in as his belly began to glow brighter and brighter. Michael felt his shoulder getting warmer where the baby dragon is standing, he quickly realized the baby dragon is going to use the dragon's breath, even with the baby dragon's breath, he knew he couldn't hurt Lailah because of the cultivation gap between them. The baby dragon was just at the level 10 Formation stage while Lailah just reached level 6 of the Fusion stage after consuming the Yin energy from the First energies.

"System, the mark you left on her, will it protect the baby dragon?"

[It won't but the baby dragon has also absorbed the Yang energy from the First energies. As a result, a few changes occurred to his body. Now, if the baby dragon and she fought, it would be equivalent to Yang energy encountering the Yin energy. It would be nullified instantly, prevent the two of them from harming each other]

"As I said before, It is so awesome to be back in the game again" he was relieved to hear the answer, plus, he now really began to appreciate the system more. The last few days had been an eye-opener for him, at first, he depended on the system too much, and then, he began to ignore the system as he didn't want to depend on the system too much. However now, the Treacherous ocean made him realize one ultimate truth, he was put on this world with the system for a reason. In his mind the reason was to control this world, to be able to do that, unlike back on earth, he must learn to depend on not only himself but also on the system. He decided to balance between depending on the system too much and ignoring the system, he had to find a middle ground.

"Stand down baby dragon, she cannot hurt us"

"Really?" The baby dragon immediately cooled down, trusting Michael's words without a doubt. Michael then playfully rubbed the baby dragon's chin before starting to slowly walk towards Lailah, this was his time to be the badass.

Calm down woman, would you have rather preferred me to have sex with you than using the Spirit walking?" Michael asked, slightly moving his body to evade her attacks.

Lailah's eyes had returned to the coldness from before and she quickly played the veena with her two hands. Each note produced was filled with killing intent, shooting toward Michael. The sound waves grew denser and denser, blotting out the surroundings. Gradually, it formed a cage that locked down Michael and cut off any route of escape.

There was nothing but a calm yet arrogant smile on his face. As the system said, the sound waves strangely transformed into energy when they collided with Michael, they just brushed past him, it could only make his hair and the long coat flutter back.

The light in his eyes flickered a few more times. He grinned looking at her fruitless attacks, letting the dense sound waves in the surroundings strike his body as he walked towards her.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 2000 badass points]

The sound waves struck Michael like moths flying to a flame. However, with no exceptions whatsoever, the sound waves were unable to harm him.

"That tickles," Michael giggled playfully, driving her crazy. The baby dragon also let out an arrogant smile and stood on his shoulder, chest puffed out, head straight like he was a king standing in front of his subjects.

"How is this possible!" Seeing that her attacks were unable to harm Michael, she also revealed a shocked expression. Afterward, the melody she played changed and she cried out, "Smiting angel, come forth!"

The Smiting angel was one of the relatively more powerful melodies that Lailah knew. It used the veena to confuse people, causing their souls to vanish and disperse into the surroundings unknowingly. It was a terrifying melody that killed without any signs and it was impossible to guard against.

The gentle veena notes resounded through the surroundings. It seemed to be filled with a certain charm, calming down everything in the world at that very moment. Even the gentle breeze in the area stopped.

Michael stood thirty meters away, quietly listening to the melody. He could naturally feel that the veena notes concealed a killing intent but when he heard it, he did not feel anything. It was as if they could not affect him at all and posed no harm.

"That tickles me too, hehehehe" the baby dragon laughed out loudly to make her even more furious, the baby dragon enjoyed making her mad. Michael too noticed the sadistic side of this baby dragon and realized that Gaya must be the reason as she is just like that.

Very soon, the melody progressed to its halfway point. Seeing how the baby dragon was laughing at her, Lailah became shocked and her face became filled with disbelief.

The melody stopped. Lailah stopped playing the veena, staring blankly at Michael. She struggled to accept this.

"No… no… no… this...this is impossible. How? Why is my veena unable to affect you?" Lailah became rather despaired. Not only did Michael soil her purity, but he was also now immune to her veena. This prevented her from ever taking revenge. She could not accept this.

Lailah did not believe it. She began playing again but no matter what she tried, it was unable to harm Michael and the baby dragon at all. They really did seem to be completely immune to her veena.

"Impossible, why-why can't my veena hurt you?" Lailah shook her head. More and more tears welled up in her eyes, before finally rolling down her beautiful face as two streaks of crystal-like tears. She was in misery.

"It was all your fault Lailah, who told you to harness the energy you have an idea about? You paid the price for what you did, it's simple as that '' He wasn't going to console her or anything and if he could, he would have killed her for trying to kill him. Since that was not the case, he gave her the piece of his mind. She was shivering in anger and feeling helpless, she wanted to rip them to pieces yet she couldn't even barely hurt them. Her face started to become redder and redder as tears of fury and misery flowed out of her bloodshot eyes.

What happened between him and Lailah was definitely not an accident. As he said, it was her own fault for attracting both Yang and Ying from the First energies instead of only Yin energy. Even if she just tried to harness the Ying, she would have ended up dying because her body and soul were not at the level to handle the First energies. The system would have used a special method to harness the energies to come out of the safe mode while strengthening Michael, it was her who acted rashly and put his life in jeopardy. At that time, he had no choice. He needed to survive. Even if he could travel back in time, he would have still done the same thing. Besides, most guys would have chosen to have sex with her using her moment of vulnerability but he did not, as far as he was concerned, he did no wrong except being a gentleman to her.

"You...you bastard...how could you...use Spirit walking-"

"So what would you have wanted me to do? have sex with you? Would you have acted differently if I did that?" he continued to fire question after question at her, as an answer, she got nothing. She just stood there with no words to speak

"I did what I had to survive, be grateful that I didn't take your virginity"

"This..this..is worse" she replied, gritting her teeth.

"For me, it's not and as I said before, this is all your fault. So quit whining and get over it!" Looking at her standing there without an answer, he sighed and willed the system to open the interface. He knew that Lailah needed to calm down right now, so he did not disturb her. Considering he too cannot hurt her even if he wanted to at the moment, he could only let matters take their course and develop as they would.

Quieting down, Michael immediately checked the conditions of his own body. A wide grin was put on his face when he looked at his stats. Although the trip to the treacherous ocean was extremely dangerous, he had gained a lot. He couldn't wait to see the reaction on the faces of the so-called superstars of the youngest generation such as Victoria and Evan. This was the reason the system always urged him to explore the world, go out adventuring and basically piss off powerful people so he could get stronger as fast as possible. If he had to blame someone for his slow pace cultivation, it should be him as he was the one playing it safe. However, playing it safe ends now because he decided to go on an adventure with Gaya after getting out of this place.

With the increase in his cultivation level, all of his spells received a power boost although it was not as much as upgrading the spells to the next level.

After closing the stat window, he noticed the small golden box on the corner of his sight bouncing up and down. His face immediately brightened when he saw the box,

"A Legendary gift box, damn this day gets keep better and better"

[Does the host wish to open the Gift box?]

"Heck yeah!"
