Hitman with a Badass System

"Meanwhile let's see what you can do now" floating in the mid-air, she spoke in a challenging manner. She wanted to see the fiery eyes and the smoke was just a display or have any powers hidden within. Before he use his powers again, he willed the system to show his current status,

"Whoa, how did my skill level go up?" His heart almost skipped a beat when he saw his status. The first thing he saw was his skill levels. They were raised by one level without him paying badass points to upgrade.

[The host should thank the system for converting the excess First energy you absorbed from the Hydra egg and upgrading the skills]

The system sounded extremely boastful but underneath its boastful voice, he sensed a hint of joy. He wondered why though.

"The eyes of darkness and cloud of darkness has Lucifer in brackets-"

[You can only use them in your Lucifer persona] before even he could finish his thoughts, the system answered, interrupting him.

[And yes, the system counts the entire crew of the Silent Reaper as one entity]

Yet again, the system took the liberty to answer the question he never asked but only thought.

[And no, until you name your hydra, it won't show up under familiars]

"Are you trying to piss me off system?"

[hehehe]

The last thing he heard was the system chuckling before getting kicked out of the system menu. After getting kicked out of the system by the fourth time, he didn't feel as mad as he felt the first time.

Besides, he was curious to use his powers once again. Michael closed his eyes for a second, activating the cloud of darkness and the eyes of darkness. Casting those spells felt easy as breathing. Soon, Gaya saw the black smoke enveloping him. Through the black smoke, she saw his eyes that were literally on fire, a dark crimson red fire.

Looking into his eyes, her body slightly trembled in fear. The fear was faint yet it was there. She shook her head to break the fear in her heart.

"Is that all you got?" she stretched her hands like she was exhausted waiting for him to show his powers.

"I don't want to hurt your snakey ass, that's all"

"Yeah you wish, Golden Barrier" Gaya flicked her wrist as a faint golden light enveloped her. The golden light might be faint but Michael could sense an immense amount of power thanks to his eyes of darkness. The spell she cast was very similar to his own spell, Responsive Shield, which could now stop the attacks of anyone under the Core Formation stage.

"Pretty awesome huh? This is one of the many Legendary spells I possess"

"Interesting" Michael knew this must be a legendary spell after sensing the power it radiated.

"This spell will grow stronger with my cultivation level. Currently, no one under the Core Strengthening stage could break the shield. Also, it will stun the attacker for a few seconds, giving me time to cleave his or her head off"

"Let me give it a shot"

She saw the dark smoke and the fire in his eyes vanish into thin air.

First, Michael wanted to test the strength of his powers in his normal form before transforming into his Dark Lord Form, Lucifer.

"Lightning Dash" He closed the distance between them in a blink of an eye. Gaya was extremely surprised by his speed. Every time he uses the Lightning Dash, she could see his figure but right at this moment, she only saw a blur in the place where he was just a second ago.

Just like Gaya, the hydra was also able to see only the after image. When he got close enough to Gaya, she punched the shield as strong as he could without using only his raw strength.

Boom!

The moment his fist connected with the shield, a loud booming sound reverberated through the open air.

"Why are they fighting?"

"Captain!"

"Sea gods bless me"

"Whoa!"

The pirates who were watching them shouted when they saw Michael flinging away from Gaya like a kite in the storm. His body only came to a stop from fifty meters away from Gaya.

His right hand hurt like hell as he looked down to see bones sticking out of his fist while blood oozed through the wounds. Despite the APD injecting healing potion into his bloodstream, he experienced excruciating pain in his right arm.

Yet on his face, one could not see an expression of someone who's going through immense pain. On the contrary, his lips curled upwards.

"Are you alright?!"

"Of course he's not you idiot, look at his arm"

The white head replied after Gaya shouted at Michael. The silver head showed a look of concern in its eyes. Unlike these two, the blackhead calmly watched Michael, noticing his arm recovering at an inhuman speed.

Although she knew the backlash wouldn't do much harm to him, looking at his arm bleed hurt her heart. Soon, she heaved a sigh of relief inside after she noticed his arm getting back to its normal shape.

"I'm not impressed!" she shouted again to rile him up.

"I haven't even started yet, Death Range" the area around him turned darker. He could feel his strength doubling up but he still didn't take his full Lucifer form.

"Lightning Dash" yet again, he activated his speed spell to get closer to Gaya. The pirates watching him from the ship only saw a dark trail. Before they could blink an eye, he reached Gaya.

"Did you notice that? His speed almost doubled" the white head whispered to the other two heads.

Boom!

Wasting no time, he took another shot at the golden barrier. This time when his fist met the barrier, a couple of tiny cracks appeared in the barrier where he punched. The backlash again sent Michael flinging away but not as bad as before. He came to a stop after twenty meters.

There was a deep shock in her eyes, noticing the cracks in the shield. This was not supposed to happen, no one except a Core Strengthening stage cultivator could damage the shield yet he managed to do just that.

"Why am I not surprised? he's my better half for a reason" the shock in her eyes gradually got replaced by pride and excitement. Plus, she was with him long enough to know that there's nothing impossible when it comes to him.

"Don't say you're impressed with that little show" Michael snickered.

"What if we can do all that magicky shit?"

"The fuck we can, I still have no clue how our captain and the dark queen using magic inside the void line"

"We are lucky to be his crew. Gibson said the captain is planning to take over the continent, just imagine how much gold we earn doing nothing if the captain managed to do that"

"Go captain!"

"HEY!!!"

The pirates began to cheer in excitement from the ship. Ignoring their cheers, he closed his eyes to take his full Lucifer form AKA the Dark Lord form. The black cloud enveloped him while his eyes began to emit crimson red fire. His newfound skill let him cast spells without uttering a word. Thanks to that skill, he just had to think about Death Range as the area around him grew darker and darker. The area around him was almost pitch black, even the sparkling moonlight couldn't shine inside his Death Range.

To this moment, he had zero clues on how the hydra egg was able to make him stronger and unlock his Dark Lord powers. He knew eventually he would get all the answers from the system. Until then, he was glad to unleash the powers within him because in this world where the strong prey on the weak, growing stronger is all that mattered to him.

Until now, he was like an ant compared to his enemies. That would change from this moment as from now on, his enemies would witness what the Dark Lord is capable of.

"Whoa"

Gaya was taken aback by surprise when he suddenly appeared before her. She was waiting for him to cast the speed spell but she heard no words escaping his mouth before he appeared in front of her.

"Back away!" the blackhead shouted at Gaya, sensing the upcoming danger. But it was too late as Michael's fist already connected with the golden barrier.

Boom!

This time, the barrier shattered into millions of golden dots. He stayed in the same spot except this time, the shock wave produced by the clash sent Gaya flinging away. Due to the force, she dropped the hydra in her hand before flying away

"Fuck!" the white head screamed but Michael quickly caught the hydra in his hand.
