Hitman With A Badass System

Chapter 184 - A Gift From The Real Lucifer

[Ding! Subordinate Gaya killed a Core Strengthening stage level 2 cultivator. The reward is 300,000 Experience points ] the system's voice sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations to the host for leveling up. The current level is Core Formation stage Level 2!]

"What should we do with the bodies?"

"We can burn this clown's body, as for Minister Gerty, we need to use his body to send a message to whoever playing fake Lucifer"

"We should make the Netherels carry his body to Royal land along with a little message," Gaya said. Unlike living beings, Netherels wouldn't get tired and the adventurers or soldiers would inform the church instead of attacking them, this made the Netherels perfect for this task. Plus, the church or guardians won't be able to interrogate the dead.

Also, it would be befitting to send the dead to do the devil lord's work.

"Dular '' His call for the orc echoed through the dark halls. In a few minutes, Dular came to the throne hall running and when he saw the bodies lying on the ground, his heart skipped a beat. Not that he never saw dead bodies but every time he saw the two devils, an overwhelming fear would energy in his heart.

He had no idea that the reason for his fear is the fear toxin emitted by Lucifer and Gaya's suit of armor.

"Lord Lucifer, Your Highness" After a few moments of staring at the bodies in fear, he bowed deeply towards Lucifer who was sitting on his throne, and Gaya who was searching through the clown's body.

"One locked space ring coming up" Gaya threw the space ring she took from the elf's body to Michael.

Michael caught the ring and tried to see the contents inside but something prevented his senses from accessing the space ring.

"System"

"200 badass points" he did not even have to tell what he wanted the system to do as it asked for points directly.

"Take it" in a couple of seconds, the something which prevented Michael from accessing the space ring disappeared, letting him search through the contents of the space ring.

Everything inside the space ring was ordinary, stuff such as daggers, robes, a couple of thousand gold coins, and few spellbooks except an ordinary-looking diary.

"Interesting" it was the diary that caught Michael's attention the most. He took out the book as Dular's expression immediately changed from fear to shock.

Dular knew even though the previous owner of the ring died, no one could access its contents for at least a few days but Lucifer unlocked the ring in a matter of seconds.

"Summon the Netherels for this month and send them to Royal land with that body" while Michael was reading through the diary, Gaya issued an order to Dular.

"Before that" Gaya ripped off Gerty's cloth before starting to write a few letters on his bare naked body using her claws.

"Guardians stop pretending to be me, Lucifer" Gaya chuckled while writing this because even if the Guardians were responsible for the killings, this would still bring a lot of heat for them from the church and the holy guards, if they were, this would startle them.

"System, I need a firework that paints the words 'Lucifer is watching everyone in the sky when it explodes"

After a few minutes, Gaya saw him close the diary and walk towards Gerty's body. He noticed Gaya's handiwork on the dead body before placing his hand on Gerty's chest.

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

"Where...where am...I?" Arria opened her eyes slowly to see nothing but a gloomy dark hall.

"You're awake" the same voice she heard before she lost consciousness sounded again from behind, sending a cold chill running through her spine.

Her hands moved towards her waist searching for the dagger yet she couldn't find her dagger.

She cautiously turned around scanning the hall like she was trained to.

She saw tremendous braziers hanging from each of the sixteen basalt columns light up every part of the throne hall and blanket everything in a dark glow.

A black fur rug split the entire room in half and was matched by the thinner ones on either side of the hall while pointed banners with burnished plumes dangle gently from the walls. Between each banner stands a tall candle, many of them have been lit and in turn illuminate the portraits of cloaked figures.

"Arria Geta of Wesite"

At the end of the black rug, she saw a figure leisurely sitting on a throne of skulls and bones atop an elevated platform. The woman beside him wore identical armor and both of their eyes glowed like rubies. She couldn't see their faces through the black skull masks they were wearing.

The throne was covered in skulls and bones of various races such as humans, orcs, and beasts. The throne itself radiated dark energy around the figure sitting on it.

"Where...where is Dagger?" she mustered her courage to speak to the figure on the throne. She could sense the absence of the slave bond.

"Dead"

Arria followed his finger to see a body lying on the ground. With a flick of a wrist, the woman behind the figure moved the body as Arria saw the familiar clown mask beside the dead body and confirmed the fact that Dagger is really dead.

Although she was finally free of the slave bond, she did not feel free. Her eyes then frantically searched for Gerty because he was the only one who could answer her questions about her brothers' whereabouts.

Michael noticed her searching for Gerty,

"Minister Gerty is dead too" her heart skipped a beat and utter despair hit her core.

"No...no...it...can't...be" her knees gave out as she dropped to the ground. Streaks of tears flowed out of her eyes while making her eyes redder and redder.

After reading Dagger's personal diary, Michael very well knew about the reason behind her tears but he let Arria feel the despair before he could make a deal with her.

"You...you...killed..them" an intense killing aura exploded from her body as Michael saw the Arch energy radiation coming from her body completely disappear.

He and Gaya were stunned by the sight of this. Arria dashed at Michael without thinking about anything else, she just wanted to kill him.

"Wind blast" Michael slightly raised his hand, sending a wave of wind to blast her backward.

"How far will you go to save your brothers? I know where they are"

The blast of wind threw Arria off balance but when she heard him, her body was tense.

"You have an ability that's very useful to us, agree to serve us as a loyal subordinate and I'll take you to your brothers"

"You...you know...where they...are?" she stuttered as tears continuously rushed out of her eyes.

Gaya wryly smiled thinking that it would be easier to get the girl to serve them than they initially expected.

"Yes, agree to be our subordinate and serve us loyally, you'll get your brothers, freedom, and many other things you wouldn't have even dreamed of"

She did not care about anything else but her brothers, the only family she has left. If he could really get her to them as he was saying, she would be his slave to him to see her brothers one more time.

"Save them and I'll do anything you ask of me" Arria said. She was not dumb enough not to believe that the man on the throne is Lucifer. Although many people thought of Lucifer as an evil entity, if he could reunite her with her brothers, she would consider him as an angel because ever since she came to this continent, she did not meet a single good person. As far as she was concerned, there were no good people in this continent, especially all the cultivators she met were rotten to the core.

"Take this and go to Iridium mines in Central Kethen" Michael expected this and prepared to deal with the scenario. He quickly retrieved the teleportation scroll he bought from the system, throwing it at Arria's feet.

"Your brothers are working in the mines as slaves, use the scroll when you meet them, it will teleport you back here," said Michael.

"But if you try to do anything stupid like escaping, we will look for you, we will find you and we will kill you" Gaya spoke like female Liam Neeson from Taken. The powerful aura she just radiated made Arria's body weak as she struggled to even take a breath.

Arria picked up the scroll at her feet while Gaya walked towards her.

"This will hurt" Arrira heard the words from the figure before she felt a sharp pain in her head.

Gaya grabbed the unconscious body of Arria,

"Put her somewhere closer to Kethen," Michael said sitting on his throne. He did not want Arria to know she was in the Dark forest until she became his subordinate.

Michael also retrieved two spiders from the system and sent them crawling towards Arria. The spiders soon crawled into her dress to hide. If she did try to escape after rescuing her brothers, Michael planned to activate the spiders to inject them with poison, ending their lives because no matter how powerful or unique she is, if she tried to betray him, he would end her life without a second thought.

With the hidden spiders, Gaya took her to the teleportation array adjacent to the throne hall that was the only way of getting out of Abyssal without breaking a wall.
