Hitman with a Badass System-Chapter 42: The most dangerous kind
"System, I'll get experience points for Gaya's killings too? "
[Yes, The host will receive experience points for killings of host's subordinates]
"How many points do I need to heal her?"
[3000 points to repair her meridians, 20,000 points to restore her previous cultivation level. The system recommends the host to heal her again when the subordinate reach at least 75% loyalty level]
"I know that System, now tells me what was her original cultivation level, you know, before they crippled her?"
[Core formation stage, level 7]
"Woah! She was a prodigy? Now I understand why she acts so arrogant and overbearing. Nevermind, for now, I'll keep giving her the pills to keep her on a leash and increase her loyalty"
When he exited the system, he raised his hands as the big silver bead split into four small fist-sized pills. Hart saw this scene and began to tremble, especially when he saw the extremely purer pills.
"90% purity! Holy shit!" Just as the words escaped Gaya's mouth, the Elders, Sect Leader Claire, and Hart felt like they were being struck by lightning. The first two had never seen a pill concocted by a 5-star Alchemist but Gaya had consumed many of those to enhance her cultivation, after all, she was a princess.
"Impossible!" Hart mumbled and stumbled back clumsily as three pills floated into Sect Leader's hand and one floated towards Hart.
At this moment, the three elders succumbed to silence. Although they hadn't seen pills with this much purity, they knew that the pills in Claire's hands were superior in quality as the pills radiated an extremely sweet fragrance and Arch energy.
The elders start to murmur behind him: "He's a 5-star Alchemist?!"
They were stunned to disbelief. The whole continent had only a handful of 5-star Alchemists, finding them was not an easy task and even if they found one, their services would not come cheap. Before this, they only thought of him as a genius but now, they considered him as a youngster blessed by the gods themselves. If he could reach this level at a young age then that meant his future achievements would be countless. Not only he cultivated at a monstrous speed but was also a 5-star Alchemist! How did he learn all this?
They couldn't help but look at Gaya after staring at Michael. They thought Gaya could somehow explain his origins but she quickly shrugged.
"Don't look at me, I didnt know he's a freakin 5-star Alchemist"
"But you are his friend?" Elder Mark asked.
In fact, it was not only them, but even Gaya was completely stunned. Alchemy was not easy, and that was a completely different challenge than cultivation. She thought the reason for his monstrous cultivation speed was because he had a special body type but now she realized he has more secrets than she assumed.
"Bastard kept this as a secret"

….
Several ding sounds again rang inside his head.
"A puny little two-star Alchemist...look, this is how the pill concocts by me, a 5-star Alchemist would look like," Michael said with a smirk as he slowly walked towards Hart terrorizing him.
As Micheal took a step forward, Hart took a step backward in shock and despair. The three elders were stunned but slowly their minds began to jump in joy. They didn't need to use Hart's service any longer. Ghost could be his replacement, and of course, he might not charge for his service thus reducing the cost they needed to concoct heart-healing pills for Elder Sandra. Sunrise Sect now not only had the number one genius of the younger generation as their disciple but also a 5-sta Alchemist. This was just too good to be true.
Gaya immediately grabbed one pill from Claire's hands and inspected it. After a second, she looked at the Elders and Claire
"Yes, this pill is 90% pure, I'm sure"
"No!" Hart was furious, looking at Michael with full of hatred in his eyes
"I didn't expect you to really concoct pills, you all deceived me by hiding the fact that you have an Alchemist!"
"You should have thought this before accepting the challenge" He sneered.
"Now, I'm going to kill you, as I said before, painfully"
How could he let him live after Hart repeatedly insulted him? Hart's actions earlier couldn't be forgiven easily in his eyes
"Hahaha" Suddenly Hart stopped walking backward and laughed maniacally.
"Don't get ahead of yourself! I don't know what stunt you just pulled with the pills. But I know you can't kill me, you're just a Body refining cultivator, I'm at the fucking Body strengthening stage, I can crush you, GUARDS!"
Hart stood there expecting his guards to arrive at any second with a wicked smile on his face.
Yet, there was no one coming inside the hall as Hart shouted again.
"GUARDS!"
"They are not coming, asshole" Gaya stepped forward and stood beside Michael fiddling with the Knife he gave her. When Hart looked at the Knife, his heart skipped a beat as he saw the fresh bloodstains on the blade.
"What did you do?!"
"A seductive smile and few flirty lines, that was all it took to make your guards drink my special tea, hehehehe" The little vial Michael gave her before he started concocting pills was the remaining paralyzing potion in his system storage.
Because of his responsive shield, he didn't need to fear anyone under Body Strengthening stage level 2 but those guards were at level 3 and 4 which would possess a threat to Michael if he fought them head-on. So, Micheal used Gaya to paralyze them and kill them easily.
"Why did you kill one guard?" Michael asked Gaya, ignoring Hart for a moment.
"Fucker tried to get all touchy, so I stabbed him in the face after paralyzing him. Now dibs on killing this asshole"
"No, he's mine" Michael conjured the bolts of lightning as Elders watched the scene dumbstruck. Especially, what Gaya did and trying to do stunned them considering she's just a mortal girl, yet, she was trying to kill Hart herself.
"Ahhhhh!" Hart screamed and tried to cast a spell before a wave of wind blasted him outside.
"Ghost wait!"
Sect Leader Claire quickly stepped forward and tried to stop him from killing Hart.
"See ya, human!" Seeing Micheal halt his steps, Gaya laughed and ran outside with full of excitement to kill Hart before he steadied himself and cast another spell.
"Don't come crying to me when he kicks your ass" Micheal shouted at the running figure of Gaya and couldn't help but laugh seeing the snake's craze to kill Hart.
"Ghost, let him go, don't kill him"
"No, Sect Leader Claire, if he doesn't kill Hart now, he would go back to his kingdom and bring reinforcements to take revenge" Elder Miles exclaimed as Michael nodded with a smile.
"Elder Miles is right, besides, I told him that I would kill him if he failed, I must keep my word, Sect Leader. Now if you excuse me, I have an Alchemist to kill" As he said, he dashed outside to kill Hart before he escaped from Gaya who had no ability to cast spells.
"What? Let's see you cast spells now, hahaha" When Michael came outside, Hart was lying on the ground like a statue as Gaya was laughing and kicking him maniacally.
"What did you do to me?!"
"What happened to him?" The elders and Claire looked confused seeing the guards' and Hart's rigid bodies. By looking at the green ooze on the blade in Gaya's hands, he realized that she coated the blade with the paralyzing poison and cut Hart with it, hence, he was paralyzed.
"Stop playing with the prey"
"RELEASE ME!"
"Ignitia" While walking towards Hart, Michael sent a few bolts of lightning to the guards and killed them instantly.

"Nooooooooo!" The anger in Hart's eyes disappeared and fear clutched his heart after seeing the charcoaled bodies of his powerful guards.
"You called me a retard, idiot, and trash. Do I look anything like that to you?"
Bzzzzhhh!
The electric humming produced by the lightning bolts around his fingers struck the fear of god in Hart's heart. Then soon after, Gaya twitched her nose and saw a wet circle forming under Hart.
"Human, I think he peed, hehehe" her laughter fueled Hart's fear and embarrassment as Micheal crouched in front of him. He then ran his finger across Hart's face
"Diddle diddle, we are so..." the intensity of the lightning bolts increased as Hart felt his face burning.
"Ahhhhhhh!" Hart's scream echoed through the mountains and then it was abruptly stopped.
[Ding! Congrats to the host for killing a Body Strengthening stage, level 2 cultivator. The reward is 15000 experience points as well as 300 Badass points]
"He's dead? So quickly?" Gaya kicked Hart's body and said. The reason for Hart's death was not because of the lightning bolts but overwhelming agony and fear which made his heart stop.
Looking at the scene, the elders and Claire trembled in fear. The charming cool youngster seemed like a devil a second ago. He not just killed Hart but actually tortured him to death. What more terrorized them was the fact that he seemed to neither enjoy nor regret killing Hart but rather, he appeared to be cool and calm when killing people. That indicated one thing to them, he killed so many people to the point that killing became like breathing to him.
