Hitman With A Badass System

Chapter 445 The Primordial Flames

Chapter 445 The Primordial Flames

The two primordial flames were hovering in the air next to each other. Victoria could feel the power being radiated by the two flames. Victoria closed her eyes as a wave of golden energy shot out from her. The wave of Cosmic energy scanned the room for any traps. The lines on her forehead became darker, seeing the cosmic energy activates no traps.

Although the Cosmic energy activated no traps, Victoria still expected a trap to appear any second when she was making her way towards the primordial flames.

The primordial flames didn't react to the intruders. Victoria was informed that the primordial flames have a mind of their own. In the world, there were only three primordial flames; Cold flame, Hell's Flame, and Heaven's Flame. Only a few knew the myth of the existence of the fourth primordial flame; the dark flame.

Victoria recognized the white flame as the Cold flame. A golden layer enveloped both Edith and Victoria to prevent the coldness radiating from the white flames from penetrating their bodies. Unlike the Cold flame, she felt nothing from the black flames hovering beside the Cold flame.

"How do we take them with us?" asked Edith. She was overwhelmed by the power of the flames.

"Do you recognize this flame? it's definitely not the Heaven's flame"

"Must be the Hell flame. Let's take them and get out of here before anyone notices our disappearance" Edith said to Victoria.

With a nod, Victoria reached out to grab the two flames. The golden cosmic energy enveloped her hands as she approached the flames. Victoria felt a sudden pressure pushing her away. The pressure created a force field around the Cold flame. She gritted her teeth, pushing her hand towards the Cold flame.

"ARGHH!" she growled in pain but she was far from giving up.

She was using all of her Cosmic energy to get her hands on the flames literally. Edith saw Victoria's face start to go pale and soon, her blood dripped through her nostrils. Still, Victoria was fighting through the force field to reach the flames.

The blood spurted out of her nostrils after a few moments. Finally, her finger touched the Cold flame, and just as her finger touched the flame, it exploded, throwing Edith and Victoria onto the walls behind them.

"Argh!" Victoria growled in pain. The entire dungeon shook due to the force of their collision with the walls. When she looked up, her pain disappeared but instead, a complete utter shock occupied her heart. The flames hovering in the air a few seconds ago were nowhere to be found.

The flames just disappeared. She jumped back to her feet. The utter shock was written all over her face. She frantically looked around to locate the flames but to no avail. Looking for the flames, she walked towards Edith to get her up.

"Vikki" Edith stood up holding Victoria's hands.

"The flames?"

BOOM!

Before Edith could get an answer from Victoria, the entire dungeon began to tremble. The ceiling above them crumbled, falling down on them.

"We have to go" Victoria knew there was no time for them to linger around. Their lives were more precious than the primordial flames.

While the dungeon was crumbling like a house of cards, they ran as fast as possible. The flame of anger burned inside Victoria hotter and brighter. If she had absorbed the primordial flames, she and her father would have reached a pinnacle of power sooner than they initially planned.

Only the primordial flames were powerful enough to be equal to the Cosmic energy. That was why her father was hunting for the primordial flames. Absorbing the primordial flames would ensure their everlasting domination.

Even though they were running for their loves, Victoria took out the compass that had the ability to locate the primordial flames to find where the flames went. Unfortunately, the compass was broken due to the previous collision. The needle was broken in half and the glass was shattered.

"Damn it"

Meanwhile, in the black forest, Gaya injected the antidote into Gilrine to wake him up. Michael and Elidyr left the area to resume connecting the black foot mushrooms.

"ARGH!" Gilrine jolted. He was breathing heavily and when he saw Gaya squatting beside him, his face went pale.

"What happened?" Gaya asked, pretending not to know anything.

"Great, I will tell headmistress Kayla that you were busy sleeping in the middle of the fucking black forest" Gaya punched Gilrine on the shoulder,

"No…I wasn't sleeping…I saw something"

"Move your ass, we have to get them back to the castle" Gaya didn't linger around but walked away from Gilrine.

Gilrine stared around him with a pale face. He quickly checked his pocket to see if the pouch was still there. He was relieved to find the pouch in his pocket just as he left.

He could swear he saw something before he lost consciousness. Once again before following professor Steinmeyer, Gilrine went to the tree and checked if there was something amiss.

"Did something happen? Nah, what am I thinking? No one can walk past the headmaster's defenses" Gilrine mumbled under his breath.

The two girls along with Michael and Elidyr were collecting Blackfoot mushrooms when Gaya returned. She had no idea Victoria and Edith almost absorbed the primordial fires.

"That's enough" Gaya clapped,

"Your detention is over. Let's go back to the castle"

On their way back to the castle no one uttered a word. Elidyr was staring at everything with an amazing look on his face, Victoria was frustrated by her failure, Edith was pretty shaken up by nearly getting crushed to death, Gilrine was contemplating what just happened back and what made him lose consciousness, and lastly Gaya, she was having mixed feelings. On one hand, she was happy beyond words because of her not-so-dead mother, and on the other hand, she was worried about her mother's safety.

Michael's mind was drifting. Many memories he experienced on earth as Ghost and in this world as Abras flashed across his eyes. Realizing that Abras and he was the same person established a harmony between the soul piece of Ghost and the soul piece of Abras.

It was extremely difficult for him to keep calm instead of going berserk.

"Go to your dorms" after reaching the castle grounds, Gaya asked them to part ways.

"What about these mushrooms professor?" asked Edith.

Gaya almost forgot about the Blackfoot mushrooms in her deep thinking,

"Just give them to Gilrine"

Gaya left the students to go to her room. Just like Michael, she also wanted to be alone. Elidyr was smiling on their way back to their dorm rooms. The memories of him being a student flooded his mind. He had many happy memoirs in Mazeroth.

"You're an Alchemy student?" Even after thousands of years, Elidyr still remembered the way to each house's dorm room.

"Hmm"

"I think I'll go to runemasters house. You need some time alone"

Elidyr said as Michael opened the door to his room.

"I know the way"

Michael just nodded as Elidyr turned back and left. When Michael stepped into his room, Nightmare was waiting. Michael did not utter a word. He just flicked his wrist as a punching bag attached to a stand appeared in the center of the room.

"System, did you know?" Michael asked in his mind standing before the six feet punching bag.

[The system level is too low]

His fist clenched as he breathed heavily in anger. The next moment, he willed the system to soundproof the room. Nightmare noticed a dim light appear in the room.

"Skyhall"

Boom!

Michael punched the bag with enough force to create a loud booming sound.

"Guardians"

The punching bag received another hit. Nightmare wanted to ask what happened but seeing the murderous look and the flickering red eyes, he stayed back.

"Qin Jiu"

"Andreas"

"Victoria!"

"Thusia!"

He started to punch faster and faster. The force of his punches shook the room as several cracks began to form in the punching bag. Nightmare noticed the lights in the room go out as the room was soon engulfed in darkness.

"Let me out" the voice of the third persona sounded in his mind. It was laughing at him which made him more furious.

"You can't keep me locked forever. I am you"

"Shut up!"

Nightmare almost bounced hearing his sudden shout.

As Michael was struggling to keep his anger and the third persona contained, Elidyr reached the room assigned to Wilkas in the house of runemasters.

The rooms of the runemasters made alchemy students' rooms look like a shabby basement. The common room Elidyr was standing in was a wide, circular room, airier than the common room of Alchemy house. Graceful arched windows punctuated the walls, which were hung with blue- and-bronze silks: By day, the runemasters would have a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains. The ceiling was domed and painted with stars, which echoed on the midnight-blue carpet. There were tables, chairs, and bookcases, and in a niche opposite the door stood a tall statue of white marble.

Elidyr didn't give a shit about the elves and the others' gazes on him. As a dark elf, he went through the same bullying as Wilkas. However, unlike Wilkas, Elidyr fought back and showed the bullies how it would feel to be bullied with his superior talents.

"Maggot"

"Filth"

"Why does he have to be a runemaster?"

"I thought he stayed with the alchemists?"

Elidyr walked towards the sofa in the center of the room and plunged into the comfy sofa. It had been thousands of years since his butt rested on a sofa.

Leaning back on the sofa, he put his leg over another. The elves were surprised. They couldn't take him being arrogant in front of them.

"Filthy maggot" from the elven gang, an elf walked towards Elidyr with the intention to throw him away.

The elves who got their butts kicked by Michael were standing in the corner smiling. He was not in the house of alchemy but the house of runemasters.

They were excited to see the half elf get beaten. Little did they know that the half elf they knew was no longer in this world. The one occupying his body was a several thousand years old 6-star runemasters.
