Hitman With A Badass System-Novel

Chapter 607: A Celestial Being

Back in the shadow realm, the dark sky split open suddenly. A vortex appeared out of nowhere and swirled rapidly in the sky. This wasn't anywhere close to where Michael was earlier. Instead, the vortex appeared on the other end of the dungeon, where the vampires and the skinless creatures emerged from the Queen's homeworld. The walls had countless holes from where the skinless creatures crawled out to see the vortex in the sky.      

"HIISSSSS!" the skinless creatures hissed at the vortex while the vampires materialized out of thin air. Unlike the vampires Michael fought, these were monstrous creatures. Each of them stood seven to eight feet tall, with shark-like teeth, and covered themselves with robes made of solidified blood. As soon as the skinless creatures noticed the vampires, they stopped hissing to kneel down.     

Although the vampires had their faces covered, one could see a tinge of fear in their red eyes. For some reason, the vampires shuddered to look at the vortex. They could all feel a tremendous power coming through the vortex.     

"HE IS COMING!" Suddenly, the demonic voice of the queen resonated in the area. Her furious shout made the vampires drop to their knees. Afterward, a silhouette of a woman gradually formed near the vortex.     

"THE QUEEN!"     

"OUR GODDESS!"     

The vampires raised their hands and prayed in their own language at the silhouette. The black smoke was almost finished forming the silhouette when a shock wave appeared from the vortex and blasted away the silhouette.      

"Woof!" After the silhouette faded into thin air, a loud bark echoed through the dungeon walls. As soon as the vampires heard the bark, they trembled. The bark contained enough force to melt down a few skinless creatures like wax statues.     

"HISSSS!" The skinless creatures hissed violently as the vampires bore their teeth, revealing their long bloody fangs. They were all poised to attack whatever comes out of the vortex. The amount of pressure coming out of the vortex nearly crushed the skinless creatures and the vampires.      

"So I am back to this hell hole?" Following the bark, a calm voice resonated from the vortex. The vampires and the skinless creatures took a step back, sensing the pulsing energy in the air. They even shivered. As they backed away, a figure dressed in black stepped out of the vortex. As a result, the vortex gradually faded away. The figure who walked out of the vortex gazed at the skinless creatures and the vampires on the ground. Just like Michael, he was also dressed in full black. However, the man's armor had several metal plates around the shoulder and chest, giving him extra protection as well as adding elegance to the dark armor. In addition, he also wore a cape and a hood to cover his head.      

"HISSSSS!" The skinless creatures roared, jumping up and down vigorously in anger. On the other hand, the vampires began to float.      

Looking at the vampires approaching him, he slowly removed the dark hood covering his face. If Michael were here, he would be surprised or even startled to see him. He was none other than Michael's fellow earthling, Hunter Blade. He was dealing with a group of traitors when the shadow realm sucked him from his castle. Considering Hunter had visited the Shadow realm couple of times, the shadow realm didn't shock him much. Everything looked familiar to Hunter, even the vampires. Upon seeing the vampires, Hunter grinned. He had no fear whatsoever of the vampires. In fact, he looked amused to see the vampires approaching him, knowing nothing about the extent of his powers. This version of the Hunter visited the shadow realm once, so he was familiar with the setting and everything. The only question Hunter had was where he would go from the shadow realm this time. The last time he visited the shadow realm to harvest experience points, Don's universe sucked him in, and he almost wiped out Don's enemies for him.     

"True vampires," Hunter devilishly grinned at the vampires. In his universe, he came across the vampires a couple of times. In his world, he called these vampires True Vampires because they were pure breeds. They were born and grew up in the Queen's world before coming to the shadow realm.      

"Is that queen bitch still around?" Hunter asked, folding his arms. He pretended to search for the queen.     

"GRRRRRRHHH!" The vampires roared after they heard Hunter. Although they lacked the ability to communicate in the shadow realm, they could understand any language. Hence, they knew what Hunter had just said. Hearing him disrespect their queen made their blood boil. They didn't even try to gauge Hunter's power in their anger. Instead, they blindly dashed at him in the air.      

"Stupid as always," Hunter snickered. Then, while the three true vampires were dashing at him, Hunter calmly flicked his wrist as a whip made of pure red energy materialized in his hand.      

Whoosh!     

Hunter just waved the whip in a circular shape, cleaving all their heads in a blink of an eye.      

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a level 85 Sentinal stage True Vampire. The reward is 750,000 Experience points and 10,000 Badass points]     

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a level 86 Sentinal stage True Vampire. The reward is 800,000 Experience points and 20,000 Badass points]     

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a level 87 Sentinal stage True Vampire. The reward is 850,000 Experience points and 40,000 Badass points]     

"So weak," Hunter disappointedly shook his head. The number of experience points he received was so underwhelming. But again, Hunter didn't expect too much from the weaklings. To be honest, he almost wished he appeared in the darkest corners of the shadow realm where the most powerful beings under the queen's command reside.     

If they were all in Michael's world, the True Vampires would be at Half Immortal stage, and Hunter would be at Celestial Stage. The Celestial stage was the highest stage one could have in the mortal world. After reaching the Celestial Stage, they would ascend to the upper realms. So suppose Hunter went to Michael's world, there would be no one to stop him except the Skyhall. Even the Council of Immortals would be as weak as ants in front of Hunter at the moment.     

After cleaving three heads, the energy whip radiated a low-pitched whistling sound. It craved more blood. For now, Hunter chose to ignore his weapon.     

"System, why am I here? Find me a way out," Hunter ordered his system.          

[The system requires three million badass points to complete the task]     

"Take it," Hunter said like three million points were nothing to him. In fact, he was at the point he could earn three million badass points in a day. His criminal empire rewarded him with passive income enough for him to literally do anything. But even then, Hunter craved more power and more points. After all, Hunter still had powerful enemies to deal with in his universe. Therefore, coming to the shadow realm was like a nice vacation for him.     

"GRRRRHHH!" seeing the headless bodies hitting the ground, the six remaining true vampires roared.      

"Where is that bitch anyways?" Hunter antagonized the true vampires once again to rile them up. Otherwise, they might use their brains and form a strategy to fight him. This way, they would be furious and jump straight into battle without any plans in their minds. As far as his experience with the true vampires went, they were not mindless idiots. Before he came up with a way to destroy them, the true vampires were one of the most formidable opponents in his world.  Hunter may be powerful, but he never underestimated his enemies. That was how he survived to this date.     

"GRRRRRRRRRRRR!" the true vampires stomped the ground and shot towards Hunter at the speed of a lightning flash. However, in Hunter's perspective, they moved as slow as a sloth. This time, he flicked the whip's hilt as the energy whip transformed into a scythe. The blade glimmered in crimson red as though it was forged with ruby and the hilt looked metal black.  With the scythe in his hand, Hunter resembled a reaper.      

Whoosh!     

Hunter just swung the scythe, cutting the vampires in halves from their hips. The blood gushed out as six halves slowly fell to the ground. The vampires didnt even realize how they died.      

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a level 85 Sentinal stage True Vampire. The reward is 750,000 Experience points and 10,000 Badass points]     

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a level 86 Sentinal stage True Vampire. The reward is 800,000 Experience points and 20,000 Badass points]     

….     

Hunter ignored the system notifications ringing in his head. Instead, he looked down on the army of skinless creatures crawling out of their holes.      

"Let's have some fun," Hunter smirked as the scythe disappeared from his hand. Upon seeing the skinless creatures roaring and growling at him, Hunter simply snapped. Although it was a simple snap, the entire dungeon trembled violently. Afterward, a bright light appeared in the sky directly above them. The skinless creatures closed their eyes due to its brightness but soon, what started as an orb of light grew big enough to make Hunter look puny near it.      

In a blink of an eye, Hunter created a meteor to drop it on the skinless creatures.      

"At this point, I just feel pity for them," Hunter devilishly grinned, contrary to his words. The next moment, he snapped again as the meteor soared through the air and landed in the middle, creating a massive mushroom cloud. The impact could be compared to a mini nuclear bomb.      

[The system has completed its task. When the host is ready, the system can teleport the host out of the shadow realm]     

"I am ready," Hunter didn't even bother to stay in the shadow realm to see the skinless creatures burnt to ashes. Instead, he wanted to get out of here to see where he would go next.     

"It would be nice to see Ghost again," hunter smirked as a bright light enveloped him.
