Hitman With A Badass System

After the earthquake, they didn't return to the pyramid but flew back to the cliff where they left Heinberg to bury the others. On his way to the cliff, Michael saw a few broken trees, cracks large enough to get noticed from high altitude as well as flocks of birds flying out of the forest. He was hoping Heiberg survived the earthquake because Heinberg was the doorway to dominate his first target, the Kingdom of Gisel.

"So what did you say the name of this island?"

"Undead island. You should stay away from these nasty little fuckers"

It was weird enough to see her keeping the hydra closer to her chest like the hydra was her baby and now, she began to advise them.

"Is she planning to keep it as her pet?" he couldn't help questioning himself.

He wouldn't mind if she wants to keep the hydra as her familiar. Everything she has was his and everything he has was hers. He never thought Nightmare solely belonged to him and he would never be jealous if she bonded with the Hydra more than him.

Gradually Michael slowed his flying speed until he came to a stop in the mid-air.

"Why did you stop?"

Michael turned back to look at the tiny hydra in her hand. The three heads gawked at him, having no idea what he was going to say next.

"Do you think we should reveal their existence or keep it a secret?"

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't come to a solid decision. Keeping the hydra's existence a secret will probably be safer for them until they could figure out their powers but hiding the hydra's existence would prevent him from earning more badass points.

[Why would you hide the hydra from the world? show off, host]

The one who answered Michael was not Gaya but the system itself. contemporary romance

"No one likes a show-off System"

[Unless what they're showing off is dope as fuck]

"Fuck that's true"

"Let's hide them when we are on the Elon continent. Here, we don't need to hide them "

"I think we should keep our heads low" the blackhead voted for hiding from the world.

"Fuck that,im not gonna do anything. If you want to keep your ugly head down, go ahead, no one's stopping you" the white head however disagreed with the blackhead, leaving the Silver head to break the tie.

The silver head gawked at between Gaya and Michael before finally fixing its eyes on Michael. For a few seconds, Michael pondered about the issue in his mind. Taking a deep breath, Michael made his decision

"We'll do as she says"

Obviously, they couldn't show the Hydra around in the cultivation continents like Elon because there were so many powerful figures who could kill Michael in a blink of an eye. However, in the Southern Continent, he was basically a god-like existence so he had no need to worry about Hydra's safety.

"System, do the same thing you did to Nightmare"

[It would cost the host another 6000 badass points]

"Don't act like you're not happy about it System"? He said in his mind, placing his hand on the three heads.

"What're you doing?" the white head chewed his palm yet Michael just ignored it.

Soon a light emerged from his hand, enveloping Hydra's tiny body.

She was familiar with this sight as she saw him do the same to Nightmare.

"I miss that ugly lizard" When she saw the scene, her mind reminded her of Nightmare. She never thought she would miss seeing Nightmare every morning when she wakes up. No matter what she did, the dragon would always end up between them on the bed.

She wondered what he was doing back home. Ever since a couple of weeks ago, she was having nightmares about someone calling for her. When she told Michael about her feelings, he said there's nothing to worry about.

Of course, she didn't know Michael was checking the system to see Nightmare status. To this day, he didn't think someone would murder Jack.

[Where does the host want the system to teleport the Hydra?]

"No, teleport them inside the pyramid. That's safer"

The light soon disappeared from their sight,

"What was that?" the blackhead asked,

"When you're in danger, the rune I placed on you will teleport back inside the pyramid"

"That's wonderful, right guys?"? the Silver head grinned,

"It does sound cool" finally the three of them agreed on something.

The blackhead had its doubts but for now, it knew there's no use in questioning him. As far as the blackhead considered, they needed to depend on the two humans to survive in this world.

"Alright let's go" he turned back, continuing to fly towards the cliff. It took them only a couple of minutes before returning back to the cliff where they left Heinberg.

Under the moonlight, Heinberg was standing in the middle of the graves he dug. He was pretty shaken up by the earthquake, Michael could clearly see the fear in his eyes.

"So you're still here" She wasn't completely sure that Heinberg would remain here instead of taking a chance to escape.? She would rather have one subordinate with a functional brain than hundreds of stupid subordinates. Heinberg was not stupid enough to escape through the forest that was filled with dangers lurking everywhere.

When Heiberg saw the three-headed creature in his hand, the fear in his eyes got replaced by surprise and shock. He wondered whether the beast came out of the orb or not. No matter what, Heinberg knew there's no chance in hell that anyone in the Southern Continent could take the artifact from these two.

"Let's go" Michael waved his hand as Heinberg began to rise from the ground. As a sign of respect, Michael stared at their graves for a few seconds before leaving them in the cliff to their endless slumber.

"Rest in peace"

****************************************

Under the glistening moonlight, the Silent Reaper was floating on the ocean calmly. The black warship looked more beautiful under the moonlight. The ship itself was calm but not the crew members waiting for their captain.

When Michael finally returned to the Silent Reaper, the entire crew were waiting for them on the deck, they seemed agitated. At first, they were pretty creeped out about Michael's appearance with all the armor, the fiery eyes and the black smoke cloud be around him. Seeing the pirates' tensed up bodies, Gaya removed her mask,

"What're you looking at? it's us" Michael, Gaya, and Heinberg landed on the deck above the captain's cabin. He found Gibson gawking at him with fear in his eyes as the rest of them. Realizing he should go stand by his captain's side, Gibson came to Michael's side slightly limping.

Gibson shuddered, looking at Michael's new form,

"How're our guests doing?"

"They're still...unconscious Lord Lucifer" Heinberg saw enough pirates in his life to recognize the people in front of him as pirates. They reeked of rum and ocean.

He recognized their profession but not the ship itself. He rummaged through his memories but he had never seen this ship before, not in real life or in military scrolls. Michael willed the black smoke to disappear. In a couple of seconds, the smoke and the fire in his eyes disappeared. He had no need for the pirates to be afraid of him than they already were.

"I assume we have a guest room in this ship"

"Yes, we have a bunch, Lord Lucifer"

Michael nodded. The first thing after he finished grasping the extent of his new powers, he wanted to take a tour around the ship to know its layouts, strengths, and weaknesses. Plus, he was planning to do some upgrades to the ship, mainly to its weaponry. Although he couldn't do any major weapon upgrades with his current Inventor trait, he could still improve the existing cannons to do more damage.

Since this was his first ship and he had taken a liking to the Silent Reaper, he would make this ship his home on the ocean as well as the most powerful ship in this entire world.

"Shorty, show him our guest room" Michael ordered Shorty who was standing in the front of the crowd.

"Aye aye Cap'n Lord Lucifer"

"Make yourself at home, we'll depart to Gisel in the morning"

"Yes, Lord Lucifer" Heinberg bowed, addressing him the way the pirates did. It was obvious David was not his real name and he preferred to go by Lord Lucifer, so Heinberg adapted to this new situation. After all, if the unruly pirates accepted him as their captain, he knew he made the right choice by bending his knees unlike Ross or the others.

"You guys can rest as well. We'll go to Gisel in the morning" He yet again reminded the pirates before turning to look at Gibson,

"I'll be in my room if you need me" Michael walked towards the captain's deck with Gaya, leaving the pirates. The hydra didn't like the way the pirates looked at them.. Yet, it remained silent in Gaya's hand.
