"Wonderful"? even after settling his debt, there remained 66,500 badass points. From now on, he decided to leave more projector balls everywhere he visits so the next time he goes live, he could get more badass points.

[Yes you should] as the system read his mind, it replied to him.

"How do I get the artifact from him?"

[Open his chest and you will get the artifact]

"Great" Exiting the system, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. He was not a surgeon who could delicately open up Nightcrawler's chest.

"Dagger"

Gaya threw the jade dagger hanging from her waist.

"What are you doing?" Nightmare asked while hovering around Nightcrawler. Gaya moved towards him avoiding the grey matter on the ground.

"I'm going to open up his chest to get what I want"

"Need a hand" she grabbed Nightcrawler's shoulder to hold him firmly while Michael cut open the chest. Seeing her helping him, he couldn't help smiling. She was perfect for him in every way. There weren't many girls who would help their boyfriends cut open someone's chest, even if the chest belonged to a killer.

Yet, Gaya was happily doing her wifely duties. Honestly, he looked forward to giving her the throne of Nagaland so he could marry this perfect girl.No matter how many people he would have to kill in Nagaland, he would do it for her.

Thinking about his bright future with her, he plunged the dagger into Nightcrawler's abdomen. He then worked his way upwards like gutting a fish. Blood and guts oozed out of the body yet they never slowed him down.

"This is gross," Nightmare commented looking at the gore. Eventually, after a few more minutes, they could see the heart as well as a small copper cube. The cube was attached to the heart, radiating a faint light and a humming sound.

[Ding! The host has found an ancient artifact]

[The system requires 30,000 badass points to initiate a scan that could lead the host to something special]

"Do it" he never hesitated. The last time the system asked him badass points to find something interesting, he ended up with the Abyssal, his own little Batcave. Therefore, when the system tempted him again, he jumped the gun.

[Great. Initiating the scan...]

"What the fuck is this?" Gaya poked the copper cube after Michael gently ripped it off from Nightcrawler's heart. Nightmare stared at Michael for his answer but instead of giving Gaya the answer, he patiently waited for the system to finish scanning the artifact.

[Scan completed. The host should get a world map]

"Gaya, do you have a map?" she took out an old worn-out parchment from her space ring. He feared that opening the parchment would crumble down the old piece of paper.

"Old Risel has been with me since I first started my adventure"

"You named your map?"

"Don't judge me" she giggled as she handed over the map to Michael.

After delicately opening the parchment, he saw the map of this world for the first time. There were four large pieces of land, each divided by vast oceans.

The largest continent among the four was the continent named Awor which was doubled the size of Elon and Ozer. The smallest yet farthest content from Elon was the Southern Continent also known as Midras. The Southern continent was made of four kingdoms; Lidora, Gisal, Yetopia, and the Praido Kingdom. There wasn't much information on the map about each kingdom's characteristics or what they have to offer.

As he laid his eyes on the southern continent, a dot of blue light could be seen only by him in the Kingdom of Gisal.

"This is our next destination"

"You gonna tell me what is in there?"

"The origin of this artifact" She wanted to ask how he knew that but she decided not to. Even after he revealed most of the information about him, she could tell that it was only the tip of the iceberg as he seemed to have a secret that he couldn't tell her.

However, she trusted him to tell her everything one day until then, she would keep her questions bottled.

"Southern content is a two-month journey from here if we get in a good condition ship"

"Ship? Why can't we just fly there?" Nightmare asked.

"First of all, when we enter the atmosphere of the Southern continent, we won't be able to use Arch or any kind of energy. Second of all, there is no land to take a rest in the Midras ocean. Unless you have a better way, I'd suggest we hop on a merchant ship"

She removed her mask as she stepped closer to Michael. Regardless of the blood and gore around him, he could smell the sweet fragrance radiating from her.

"I always wanted to visit the southern continent and now it's going to be even better with you"

"It's not gonna be our honeymoon or anything" Michael sighed remembering her no sex until marriage rule. Although he respected her wish, he would be lying if he said he don't care about taking the kiss to the next level.

"Shh," she put her finger on his lips.

"No marriage, no fling but it doesn't mean we have nothing to do during our journey" His eyes sparkled as his heartbeat rose. He felt like a virgin boy who just got a date to lose his virginity, he couldn't wait to get on a ship to the Southern continent.'

"Don't mind me" Looking at how close they were standing to each other, Nightmare rolled his eyes. And just as the little dragon expected, they locked their lips despite their rather disturbing surroundings.

"Let's just first go to the auction and make some money"

"I'd bet they have some nice swords," Gaya purred, gently kissing her ear.

"After the auction, remind me to visit the house of Bradley. You said they are mainly in business for private security" he said recalling Nathen's uncle, Lord Malan's request to visit the house of Bradley.

"Yeah, not number one or anything but they have a decent operation going on"

"If everything goes smoothly, we can use them to protect our assets"

"Extra security to Raylene doesn't hurt"

Considering Raylene was a 5-star chef and she would be more famous once they opened the restaurant, they had to make sure she stays safe. One could not say for sure that no one would harm her or try to kidnap her.

"Let Dular use his Netherels to clean up this mess and the mess you two made in my room" the snake and the dragon revealed an embarrassed smile thinking how hard they threw up in Michael's room, especially Nightmare.

It was fortunate they have Netherels to do the dirty work. Otherwise, they knew he would make them clean up the mess.

(Somewhere else in Elon Continent)

"Did you see that, Xanali?" Peyton was watching the vast forest before her standing on the edge of a mountain.

Xanali, the red-haired princess and half-sister of Gaya, carried a face of anger as well as confusion.

"Yes, everyone in Bredia and FLamefair saw it. It won't take too long for the news to reach the entire Elon"

"He was mocking us. The guardians were the authorities he mentioned who failed miserably" Peyton was radiating killing intent as her body was shivering in anger.

"His words, Peyton. The real questions we should ask are how did he project himself? What kind of spell was he using? Was that really Nightcrawler he killed? "

"Our mages are working on it. As for the Nightcrawler, it was that brute Nesta's assignment. After Lucifer's little show on Royal land using Gerty's body and Netherels, he just made the top of the priority list. But it also tainted our reputation, according to our spies, more than a few really believes the nobles were killed by the guardians"

"It is the truth, Peyton. We went too far, we shouldn't have killed those nobles"

"You never understand do you?" Peyton said coldly, turning her gaze from the horizon to Xanali.

"You can't clean a mess without getting your hands dirty. Sometimes it's necessary for the good guys to be the bad guys to do some good. If you think the bad guys will play by our rules, you're naive and stupid"

Peyton didn't hold back as her words pierced Xanali's heart like needles. At this moment, Xanali wondered what Gaya did and said could be really the truth about this world.

"Captain Gerard almost pulled the plug of operation new dawn. We cannot afford to take any more shits thrown at us by Lucifer. Increase the recruitment process, I want every prodigy or talented kid on the block to join the Guardians. We can use their love for power to our advantage ``. Peyton's cold words stopped Xanali's train of thought.

"Then the championship tournaments in three months would be a good place for some fresh blood"

"Start the screening process now. The tournament might have a chance to get delayed by a couple of months. Tell Noah about the recruitment, I'd bet he know some freaks of nature"
