Hitman With A Badass System

In the giant mirrors above the arena, everyone was seeing Ghost lifting Peter by his neck. Peter musted the little bit of strength he had in his body to punch Ghost,

"Pathetic" Ghost snickered after getting a punch from Peter,

Peter was completely stunned by Ghost. When he first fought Ghost, his movements were slow despite the runes, his fighting technique was sloppy. Plus, his reaction time was way slower.

This time, however, Ghost fought like a new person. Peter couldn't even evade his attacks as he was too fast. Moreover, Ghost was able to destroy the runes he placed on the battle stage without sweating a break. IT shouldn't be possible yet somewhere Ghost destroyed them. Without the runes to restrict Ghost's spells and skills, Peter's plan of defeating him took a nosedive.

Boom!

Suddenly Michael slammed Peter on the floor, almost forming a crater in the battle stage. The force of the slam sent the spear in Peter's hands flying away. The light in Peter's eyes started to dim down due to the broken bones inside him.

Under everyone's shocked gazes, Michael flicked his hand as a healing potion appeared in his hand.

"The fun is just getting started Peter" He forced the healing potion down Peter's mouth as the internal wounds Peter suffered gradually healed. His pale face became rosy again.

GHost's hand was still around Peter's neck. Before Peter could stand up, he was thrown into the air by Ghost. Because Peter healed up, he was able to balance himself in the middle and landed comfortably on the battle stage.

He raised his hand as the spear came flying into his hand.

"You said something about my sword skills" With an arrogant smile, Peter saw Ghost unsheath the two swords on his back. The hate Peter had towards Ghost at this point was immeasurable. He had never felt so humiliated in his life. Thousands of people witnessed Ghost beating him mercilessly like he was a weak animal.

Michael could have easily broken Peter's limbs and ended the fight in a couple of minutes. Yet, he chose to drag out the fight which was not his style. He always preferred to end the battle as soon as possible without giving his opponent the time to get lucky.

This time he made an exception to the rule because he wanted to show the entire continent what would happen if someone messed with him. Also, beating the crap out of Peter was his way of venting the anger boiling inside him. Every time he saw the blue-haired guy sitting next to the princess, the flashes of Abras's last moments flashed across his eyes.

He never felt such anger like this for a long time. It took everything in him to keep his cool. The last time he lost his cool, he went on a killing rampage, ending all the fellow assassins he trained with under Specter and even killing the girl he loved.

"Lightning Dash"

"Wind Steps"

Both of them cast the spells at the same time with their weapons in their hands. The nobles once again leaned forward while the commoners couldn't stay seated.

The Wind Steps was an Epic class spell that let the caster step into the gaps between realms to teleport. It was similar to a short distance teleportation spell with quick casting time. The spell was extremely hard to master and any mishap during the spell would end the caster's life. Those like Darius knew about the spell, they commended Peter for mastering the spell.

In a blink of an eye, Peter appeared behind Michael.

Cling!

Without even turning back, Michael blacked the spear with his sword. The clash of metals produced an ear-piercing sound. The next moment, Michael turned around swinging his sword. Peter managed to block the sword as he expected.

Considering spears were not very effective in too short of a distance, Peter jumped back to get some distance between him and Ghost.

"Let me show you what a real swordsman can do in a fight against a spearman" As he said, he brushed the swords together. Each time he brushed the swords on each other, it produced sparks of fire.

"Wrath of Amear!" Peter slammed the spear onto the ground. Michael halted his steps looking at the golden spear trembling violently. Soon, he saw a glistening purple tornado appear out of the spear's tip.

The tornado grew bigger and meaner with each passing second. The tornado gradually moved towards Michael. When the people looked at the tornado closer, they could see vague images of spears in the tornado.

"Why isn't he moving?" Ethan worried about his son. Ethan was one of the people who knew which class the spell belonged to, the Epic Class. Normally these spells would take a long time to cast yet Peter cast the spell in a few seconds. This was proof of Peter's mastery over spells and runes.

Unlike Ethan, Michael didn't worry about the tornado moving towards him. In fact, he was overjoyed. The more powerful spell Peter cast, the more badass points he would receive when walking out of the spells unscathed.

"What is he doing?" Emelda asked with wide eyes seeing Ghost walking towards the tornado instead of scurrying away from the tornado's path.

The black long coat fluttered violently in the air while he was slowly and calmly walking towards the tornado. All the crowd including the commentators were speechless, it was too exciting.

Under the peoples' shocked gazes, the tornado finally enveloped Ghost. No one could see his figure inside the tornado. For a few moments, only the howling noise of the tornado could be heard.

Maintaining the tornado used Peter's Arch energy and strength in his body. After keeping the tornado from fading away for a few minutes, his legs grew weaker by the moment. Still, he maintained the tornado because he wasn't planning to underestimate Ghost again. It was evident that Ghost intentionally hid his true power when they first fought. Peter blamed himself for stupidly falling for his plan.? After their initial fight, Peter didn't even take Ghost seriously. Therefore, he didnt form another strategy but came to fight with the same plan he used in their first fight.

If he hadn't underestimated Ghost, he would have created new runes to defeat Ghost and wouldn't have gotten his ass kicked.

"Hello Peter" Suddenly, Peter felt a chill running through his spine when he heard a calm voice coming from the tornado. Many people gasped in shock when they saw Ghost stepping out of the tornado, not even a cut on his face.

"No…impossible" Peter mumbled as his mind went blank. Granted Ghost had more cultivation power than him still it wasn't possible even for a level 10 Core Formation stage warrior to face the tornado and come out unscathed.

"Lightning Dash" the smile on Michael's face disappeared as he cast the spell. In a blink of an eye, he appeared before Peter as Peter raised his spear to defend himself. IT was too late as GHost swung his sword, inflicting a deep cut on his shoulder.

Gritting his teeth to fight the pain, Peter swung his spear but he once again felt pain in his other shoulder. Then, on his gut, leg, face, chest, and every place in his body.? He couldn't even see Ghost anymore. All he had seen were after images of Ghost swinging his sword.

Darius was speechless. Every one of his sword swings was precise, deadly, and elegant beyond words. Regardless of Peter's suffering, Darius didn't want Ghost to stop. On the other hand, Alicia's heart bled seeing her brother getting flayed alive.? It was true that the healing array kept Peter alive but it didn't stop GHost from inflicting almost a hundred cuts. Peter's armor had already fallen off as Ghost painted Peter red in blood.

"Bastard!" Alicia couldn't hold back her anger anymore as she banged the seat's arm. Peter fell to the ground, losing all his strength due to the blood loss. Ghost was merciless, he never gave Peter the chance to utter the words? 'I surrender'. Not that Peter would surrender, many expected Ghost to give him a chance.

Even Claire frowned seeing Ghost kicking Peter in the gut while cutting him mercilessly. Sometimes Ghost freaked her out with his ruthlessness.

"STOP!" Finally, Alicia's anger exploded. Her thunderous voice closed all the mutterings and drew the attention of the crowd including the commentators, the VIP guests, and Ghost himself.

Michael put one foot on Peter's blood-soaked face.

Seeing Alicia interrupting the battle, the tournament committee guards rushed to her before she could further do something stupid.

"Look, your sister is screaming up there?" Michael giggled before stomping Peter's face yet again.

"I WILL KILL YOU!" Alicia screamed. Norvin was stunned to see her lose her patience like this. She had never been good at showing her emotions but now after seeing her brother getting beaten like this, she seemed to have lost her mind.

"You should stop her from doing something stupid" Michael looked at the coordinators floating above him and said.

"Oh too much blood" While some of the coordinators were flying in the direction of Alicia, Michael turned his focus back to Peter. He smiled at the pool of blood under Peter.

"Let's mop the blood shall we?" Everyone felt a chill as they heard Michael. Soon, many peoples' eyes went wide. He grabbed Peter's right leg and lifted him up in the air before wiping the blood using Peter's body like a mop. contemporary romance

"BASTARD!" Alicia's scream reverberated the arena. However, before she could jump down from the pavilion to the battle stage, the coordinators sent an invisible force field to prevent her from doing so.
