Hitman With A Badass System

Chapter 76 - End Of Netherel Attack

"I had it under control!" Victoria's pride didn't allow her to say thank you to Evan for saving her from the Netherel attack. Instead, she yelled at Evan.

Meanwhile, on Michael's side, many disciples fighting beside him had a face full of alarm and shock looking at the detached heads spinning through the air as the bodies of the Netherels spasmed spaying dark goo.

At this moment he had easily killed a bunch of Body Strengthening and Body Refinish stage Netherels without taking a single scratch, allowing himself to feel more confident about his strength.

Michael quickly collected the fist-sized red cores of the Netherels he killed before anyone could put their hands on them. Not that someone would stop him, he didn't touch the cores of the others.

Having Michael around seemed like a blessing to many disciples because they didn't have to fight the stronger Netherels but only the Foundation stage Netherels. He focused and targeted mostly on the Body strengthening and Body Refining stage Netherels.

"Fuck you, you and you! Die you evil sons of bitches!" on the wall, Gaya was screaming excitedly and killing the Netherels with her new bow.

"Sister Aelia, Is cursing them really necessary?" Some disciples who decided to stay behind now kept staring at Jack and Gaya because of her swearing.

Jack felt very uncomfortable looking at all the prying eyes on him.

"Shut up, you little shit!" Only because she was busy with killing the Netherels, she forgot to slap the back of his head as usual but Jack's hand instinctively went to cover his head.

"Hey, you all want to see something cool!"? Sadie and the others' focus on Michael momentarily halted by Gaya's shout. All the eyes were now on Gaya as she nocked three arrows on the bowstring and turned her head away from the battlefield.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

She released the arrows without looking at the battlefield. Including Sadie they all followed the trajectory of the three arrows she fired and their eyes went wide in surprise when all the three arrows pierced the heads of three Netherels accurately.

"That was so hot!"

"Now I understand why Ghost keeps her around"

"That girl is really not normal!"

If Michael was here, he would have knocked her again on the head for showing off but he was busy on a killing spree and had zero clues about Gaya's display of Archery.

"Sister Aelia, Where did you learn to shoot like that?" After seeing all the shocked faces of the other disciples, Jack felt proud to stand beside her even though she yelled at him and thrashed him on a regular basis.

"I taught myself" Many refused to believe her answer and thought she was lying but it was really the truth. Ever since Gaya was little, Xanali got most of the attention and love from everyone in the castle, so Gaya learned to depend on herself rather than on anyone else. Among many other reasons, lack of love and attention from her father and the death of her mother were the main issues that turned Gaya into a cold overbearing person.

Xanali's mother always views her daughter as the next queen and Gaya as the glorious gift that could be married off to some prince in exchange for an alliance between two kingdoms. Because of that, she brought teachers to teach Xanali the arts of war and rule while nagging Gaya to learn knitting, cooking, and many other chores to satisfy her future husband and his family.

To avoid a fight with Xanali's mother and learn what she liked, she went on many adventures and honed her skills.

Back on the battlefield, Michael continued to slaughter the Netherels. The Badass points he was earning began to decrease as he was killing them for some time. He noticed this but cared little because his sole focus was to get as much as XP to reach the next cultivation level.

He deliberately told the system not to consume the experience points to breakthrough because many would become suspicious if he broke through on the battlefield just by killing the Netherels. He knew it would be badass to breakthrough now but it may or may not bring some unwanted trouble to his doorstep wondering what kind of cultivation technique he was using.

"Aoooooooo!" a shriek of howl suddenly ran out from the forest as the Netherels stopped moving.

Puff!

Puff!

Puff!

Following the howl and the Netherels stopped moving, they all started to vanish into thin air.

"Hey come back, I'm not done with you!" the disciples around Michael almost spurted out blood in shock and anger when they heard him. Everyone was sighing in relief but not him, he was yelling at the disappearing Netherels and calling them back.

Evan and Victoria also speechless as they turned back to leave the battlefield. Victoria suffered some internal damage and scratches while Evan also sustained some minor injuries. Initially, they wanted to go chasing the Sorcerer But now, they needed rest and healing potions.

Many disciples were not as lucky as Evan and Victoria. After the Netherels disappeared, the battlefield was filled with groaning and cries of pain. Few had lost their friends, their limbs, or at least a chunk of flesh from their bodies. Most of them blamed Ghost for starting this battle with the Netherels in the first place for their losses. However as far as Michael was concerned it was normal to suffer or lose one's life in a battle and if they valued their lives very dear, they should have stayed back instead of following Evan and Victoria to battle.

"Go bring me a table and chair quickly" while they were coming back from the battlefield, Gaya hatched a plan to turn their sufferings into gold.

"Why?"

Plop!

Since she was not firing arrows, Jack received a slap from her as usual.

"Ah! I'm going" Jack ran off to find her a chair and a table immediately after receiving a slap to the back of his head.

On his way back to the wall, Michael put his swords in the system storage and used the wind blast after lowering its power so he wouldn't blast himself.

Whuf!

Still, the wind blast was powerful enough to let out a muffled blast sound and clean all the bits and pieces of the Netherels from his clothes. He then circulated the Arch energy around his body and his clothes to remove the stink.

"I need a bath but it'll do for now,"? Michael said to himself and Lightning dashed towards the wall leaving a trail of dust and a few cracks of lightning.

The disciples from the other side of the wall opened the city gates for everyone.

"What?!"

"Ha!"

"Wow"

"Finally something good came out today"

As Michael ran past the girls, they had to quickly stop their skirts from soaring up due to his speed. Now some male disciples who stayed behind blamed Michael less after feasting their eyes on milky white legs of some of the beauties.

When Michael halted his steps, he saw Gaya was sitting on a chair behind a table.

"What are you doing?"

"What took you so long! come on, give me all the Healing potions you got"

Both Michael and Gaya let out an evil grin as Michael put a bunch of healing potions on the table without asking a question.

"Listen up everyone!" Gaya's shout drew the attention of everyone, including Evan and Victoria who were applying healing oils on themselves.

"Why didn't they buy my healing potions in the first place? What is that crap on their hands?" Michael questioned himself looking at the low-quality healing oils in Evan and Victoria's hands. In reality, they were not at all low-quality as they were 60% pure healing oils yet compared to Michael's 80% pure Healing potions, they were indeed low quality in his eyes.

"Hrrggrr" Gaya cleared her throat and spoke

"Did you suffer a life-threatening wound? Are you afraid of the wounds turning into ugly scars? " She sounded like the salesperson on the TV ads for Michael.

"do you want to feel less pain? Or do you simply want that chunk of flesh you lost to a Netherel?" She paused for a moment as all the eyes were now fixed on Gaya. She winked at Michael and continued her sales pitch

"Worry no more, you have the Majestic's Healing potion with 80% purity. The first lucky fifty buyers will get a 20% discount on the price"

She scheme momentarily shocked all the onlookers. For a second, Michael and Gaya seemed like two human-sized vultures in their eyes.

Michael stood there laughing inside when he saw a MorningStar disciple who had a chunk of meat missing from his shoulder walking towards them.

The disciple's skin was pale because of the blood loss and one could see the shoulder bone through his wound.

"How...much?" Looking at the space ring on his finger and the expensive diamond chain on his neck, both Michael and Gaya realized he is rich.

"Oh wonderful, the first customer!" Gaya greeted him with a foxy smile.

Following the injured disciple, many gathered around and behind him to buy the healing potions because all of them suffered some injury from the Netherel attack. They all wanted to be the first 50 customers to get the sweet 20% discount however what they heard next almost made them faint on the spot.

"9000 gold coins only"
