Hitman With A Badass System

"Alright, let's stop guessing about this, there's no point. We're currently on the outskirts of The Treacherous Ocean. Remember, the fog was not the real danger, the real dangers are on this island. When we enter the island, we have to be extra careful. The Demon Dragon's heart should be in the very center of the island."

Michael and Lailah both flew towards the island, landing on it soon after.

"In ancient times, the Dragon clan filled this with formations. These formations automatically absorb the Arch Energy and even Celestial Energy to replenish themselves. Although it's been countless centuries since they were first laid down, a few that were set by remarkable experts still remain. They may not be as powerful as before, but we still need to be on guard." Lailah explained to Michael in detail about some areas that he needed to be aware of on the Island.

Michael observed the island as he listened to Lailah talk. They had already passed through the region of mist, fortunately, his sight was no longer obstructed and much clearer now.

The two of them slowly walked forwards, both were extremely careful as they traveled.

At this very moment, the ground suddenly began to violently shake. Four rock walls rose from the ground, forming a room and trapping the two of them inside. The rock walls radiated with a faint, golden luster while extremely powerful and pure energy vaguely being radiated from the rock walls.

Soon afterward, stone spears coated in golden light began to arise from the walls. With whistling sounds, they shot towards the entrapped Michael and Lailah at lightning speed. contemporary romance

Dense clusters of spears shot from all directions, locking the two of them out of any paths for escape. There was only the misty-white sky left for them to flee. Michael prepared himself to take off to the sky when he was stopped by Lailah.

"Remember, you must never fly above ten meters in the sky. The dangers in the sky are several times greater than on the ground." Lailah's cold voice sounded in Michael's ears as she faced the spears calmly and unperturbed. Shortly afterward, she gently struck a string with her finger, the next moment, a veena note reverberated in the area. It spread out in all directions as a visible wave of sound.

The sound wave contained an unbelievable power. Wherever it passed by, the rock spears disintegrated, turning into a pile of dust in the air.

The visible sound wave cut through the surroundings like a hot knife through butter before colliding forcefully with the rock walls that trapped them in. With a rumble, the walls trembled violently before crumbling to the ground.

The confining rock walls could only be used against anyone under the Core Formation stage, it was nothing to a Fusion Stage cultivator-like Lailah. However, it would be almost guaranteed death if? Michael alone had been trapped by it.

Breaking out of the rock walls, Michael and Lailah continued on their way, walking directly towards the general region of the island.

In the following part of the journey, they both experienced constant attacks from various traps. However, these attacks were not prepared for a Fusion stage cultivator, because of that, they were unable to pose much of a threat to Lailah. The journey was frightening, but not very dangerous.

Roar!

Suddenly, a loud beast roared in the distance. The ground began to shake gently as a humanoid giant of over fifteen meters in height ran towards them from afar at an exceptional speed, constantly roaring along the way.

"A Rock Golem" Lailah calmly muttered. The Rock Golem ahead radiated an aura of a level 4 Core Formation warrior.

Soon, her finger moved gently on the veena string, and a sound wave immediately shot out towards the incoming war beast in the shape of a sharp arrow.

Cruk!

The arrow formed from sound pierced through Rock Golem's chest. Rock Golem's overwhelmingly powerful defense was akin to soft butter before it, and the arrow punched a head-sized hole with no difficulty. Yet, no blood flowed out.

The Rock Golem seemed to feel no pain, continuing onwards towards the two of them with great steps as it roared mindlessly along the way.

Lailah remained the same as before. Her white, elegant hands constantly danced around on the strings of her veena, producing beautiful sounds by playing it. With each note, a powerful sound wave shot out with lightning speed and struck Rock Golem's body.

The Rock Golem did not dodge at all and continued in its charge towards the two of them in a straight line. Meanwhile, its huge, fifteen-meter-tall body was now riddled with holes while its head was already smashed to smithereens.

But even with all that, even with its head missing, the Rock Golem did not die. It did not even slow down, much less show pain. It continued charging at the two of them without any pauses.

Witnessing something so huge and dangerous as the Golem, he felt grateful towards Lailah because he knew he had a very slim chance to defeat the Golem.

"Well well well, the number one hitman of the world is hiding behind a woman, I thought I taught you better" the old man laughed at Michael but he ignored the old man's ridicule.

Gentle veena sounds, concealing killing intent within, constantly rang out. Lailah's gaze remained calm throughout. Her right hand danced about on the veena strings, sending out waves of powerful sound at the huge Rock Golem.

Rock Golem's injuries became even worse after receiving such dense attacks. Its two limbs were quickly severed, while a large portion of its chest shattered. It had shrunk to one hundred and ten meters in height from the original fifteen.

Any other magical beasts or living beings would have passed away long ago if they were in such a state. It was guaranteed death. However, the Rock Golem behaved as if it was completely uninjured; its remaining half of the abdomen and its huge, thick legs continuing to run with huge steps. Each and every step caused the ground to tremble constantly.

Rock Golem was soon less than a kilometer away from the duo.

Looking at Rock Golem, he prepared himself for a serious battle. Tiny cracks of golden lightning had started to dance around his fingertips.

At that very moment, consecutive closely-packed and frantic veena notes rang out. Lailah's right hand had slid across the veena, playing three of the seven strings together. Immediately, a series of densely packed sound waves radiated outwards, filling up space before them with visible ripples. The ripples joined together like a spider web, before quickly shooting towards the Rock Golem like a fishnet.

The fishnet of sound passed through Rock Golem's body without any obstructions and disappeared into the distance. Soon, the huge Rock Golem collapsed loudly. Its entire body had become cubes of rock that fell to the ground, carved into countless pieces by the net of sound waves.

Michael stared at the countless pieces of the Rock Golem curiously. After this battle, he couldn't help but wonder how powerful a Fusion stage Rock would be.

"Lady Alden, is every Golem this powerful?" Michael asked Lailah. His heart was filled with curiosity and awe.

After a short moment of silence, Lailah replied, "No, the reason for its strength was the Treacherous Ocean itself, this place mutates everything. The beasts here have no soul, they can't feel any pain and they are practically an indestructible army"

"Indestructible army huh" Michael mumbled softly, imagining an army of these Golems and beasts under his command.

"The Rock Golem in front of you cannot be killed, no matter what you do. Even if you obliterate its body, it'll recover in no time," Lailah continued.

The countless pieces of stones on the ground began to move about in one place as soon as she finished speaking as if it was providing evidence for her statement. It condensed into the fifteen meters tall Rock Golem once again after just a short while. Its body was completely unharmed, and even its head had recovered to how it was before without the slightest sign of injury.

Michael's pupils narrowed to the size of a needle, and he immediately gasped coldly. He exclaimed in wonder, " My horizons really have been broadened today" Michael turned to Lailah and asked, "Lady Alden, so how would one kill this Rock Golem?"

"Although the Golem consumes a great amount of energy every time it reconstructs its body, its strength will decrease slightly. So, there's only one way to handle it, kill the Golem until it's used up so much energy that it can't rebuild its body," Lailah said.

"We can always run away," She said but he felt like she was testing his knowledge

"Lady Alden, I think If we do that, it'd just keep following us. Also, I don't think we can move around carelessly in this place. Once we let it follow us, the commotion might draw the attention of even more mutated Beasts"

"Good" she nodded as he gave an answer she wanted. After putting some distance between them and the recovering Rock Golem, Lailah started to attack the Golem again and this time, Michael joined the fight by sending bolts of lightning at the Golem. Under their teamwork, the Rock Golem did not last very long at all before being obliterated once again.

However, its body quickly began to rebuild once again. It gave out an earth-trembling roar and attacked them mindlessly. For Lailah, Golem's moves were slow but it was an entirely different matter for Michael who was just a Body Strengthening stage cultivator. However, the perception pills and his natural instincts came to the play as he continued to evade Golem's punches until it was obliterated completely.

The Rock Golem was destroyed into countless pieces of stones by Michael and Lailah time after time. Its strength decreased greatly every time it rebuilt its body. After killing it a dozen or so times, the Rock Golem was finally unable to restore its body due to the overconsumption of energy. Its diced body parts lay scattered on the ground. Since Lailah was the one who dealt the final blow every time, he did not get any badass points or experience points at all but he valued his life more than the badass points or experience points.

Lailah walked over leisurely from afar with her veena in her arms. She did not even look at the Rock Golem, " Let's go. The commotion from before was too loud. Other Magical Beasts are probably going to rush over here very soon"

"Look at you, running away like a chicken" The old man's figure appeared again behind him and snickered before they left the area.
