Hitman With A Badass System

After getting the baby dragon and the ring of fire spell from Maisy, Michael spent the day roaming around the Nether realm to find treasures. However, he had no luck finding another treasure like the sky garden or the baby dragon. When the daylight disappeared, he found another cave and decided to spend the night inside.

"Huhuhuhu" the darkness of the cave freaked out the baby dragon as it rubbed its head against Michael's chin while groaning.

"You shouldn't be afraid of darkness, baby dragon," he said after gently massaging the baby dragon's head. He then bought a torch and placed it inside the cave, not because of the baby dragon's fear of darkness but he wanted to see the baby dragon with no one interrupting.

He sat on the ground lifting up the dragon-like baby. Mud and blood stains covered its body, preventing him from seeing the baby dragon's color.

Staring at the wonderment in his eyes, the baby dragon tilted its head.

Everything seemed like a dream to him, he never expected in a million years that he would be transmigrated to another world and presented with an opportunity to control the entire world such as this one. Holding the baby dragon in his hands brought some memories he was desperate to forget.

Yet, the prickly tongue of the baby dragon stopped his train of thought.

"Let's clean you up," he opened the system to buy a small bathtub so he could get rid of all the blood and mud stains from the baby dragon. The baby dragon's eyes were filled with curiosity when he placed the bathtub beside him. He then moved on to fill the tub with scented water.

"huhu" surprisingly for Michael, the baby dragon shook its head showing its reluctance to water. This act of the baby dragon reminded him of the dogs back on earth who also hated taking a bath. The scaly little bastard might be a noble dragon but acted like a spoiled puppy.

"Nope, you're getting a bath" He flicked on its forehead ignoring the protesting of the little dragon. The baby dragon was an intelligent creature, it realized that its protests were going to be in vain.

"HrrHuu.." He felt the baby dragon's body getting warm, the closer he took the dragon to the tub, the warmer its body got.

"Ouff"? A sudden puff of flame came after he heard the dragon cough. "whoa" although he was quick enough to save his hair from getting burned, he was still surprised to see the baby dragon breathe fire.

"Do that again!" he said gleefully rubbing the baby dragon's head.

"Hu...ouff" he heard the sound again yet unlike before, he didn't see any stream of fire, not even a puff of smoke from the dragon's mouth.

"ouff" the baby dragon coughed again and again and again trying its best to breathe fire except it failed to accomplish this feat again.

"It's okay, you're still too little to breathe fire" Seeing the baby dragon struggling to breathe fire, he comforted the scaly creature hiding his doubt and disappointment.

"Huuuuuu" while the dragon was distracted, he merged it in the water. The baby dragon cried in shock and fluttered its scaly wings trying to escape from the clutches of this cold water. Michael had his hands full with the little dragon who now had absolute hate for water for the next couple of minutes. He used enough force to keep the dragon still while he rubbed the dirt and blood stains off of its body. As the dirt washed up on the water, he started to see the glimmering crimson scales, the pitch-black claws, and the thin yet tough wings. On its head, he noticed swellings, he may not be an expert on dragon anatomy but he watched enough dragons in the movies to know that swellings would soon become horns.

He lifted up the baby dragon from the bathtub only after he made sure there wasn't a speck of single dirt on its body. The baby dragon gnawing his hand as an act of revenge but those baby teeth weren't strong enough to hurt Michael. He cuddled the dragon giving a soft kiss on its scaly forehead. Soon, those vertical slit pupils became round, at the same time, it puppy-eyed him to make him chuckle. After playing with the dragon a little, both of them watched the darkness outside in silence until the baby dragon fell asleep curling itself on Michael's lap.

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

Right when the first light appeared, Michael left the cave searching for treasures. The baby dragon stared at every single thing like grass and tree in wonder sitting comfortably on his shoulder. Michael was disappointed in the Nether realm because people said although the place was filled with dangers, it also filled with treasures but in his experience, the only treasure he came across was the sky garden. Of course, he got the baby dragon with the help of the system yet, it wasn't true for others.

He preferred getting out of this place if this situation continued rather than wasting his time wandering around aimlessly. But soon, the lady luck surprised him with the sight of a large crowd in front of what seemed like an enormous cave. He walked cautiously towards the crowd and stood behind a large tree to see what's going on before acting.

"Well then everyone, there's not much time left. We should plan accordingly now that we have six Rare Weapons here. We'll definitely be able to destroy those magical beasts and reduce the casualties to an absolute minimum." he heard a man's voice.

"No wonder they are called the rare weapons, their strength is far too strong…"

"those big sects are rich as fuck"

"With a Rare weapon in their hands, each of them can battle a Body Strengthening stage beast, with the right strategy, they could even kill one"

Many of the men there began to chat among themselves in quiet voices with a fear of speaking too loud.

"There are a total of four magical beasts, each one of them is extremely dangerous and powerful. It requires two of us with a Rare weapon in order to fight one of them to a standstill. I can only guess that it would take three of us with a Rare Weapon to kill one of the magical beasts. We have six Rare Weapon users, meaning that we can kill two of them, the other two will have to be dealt with by the others." Michael recognized this voice, it belonged to Evan Clarke, one of the prodigies from the MorningStar. The last time he met Evan was on the battlefield fighting the Netherels in River Town.

"We have plenty of Level 10 Body Refining warriors, with the last two magical beasts, they'll be able to deal with them. Although no one else would have a Rare Weapon, the amount of them is enough to handle the last two beasts" another feminine voice said.

"Victoria" he instantly recognized Victoria by her voice. Knowing that these two were here, he realized that there must be something valuable inside the cave and worth exploring, not to mention he could harvest badass points by taking the spotlight from these so-called prodigies.

"That's correct, If we all work together, then we will be able to break past the defensive line of the magical beasts"

"I agree to this plan," Victoria said.

"I agree as well" Followed by Victoria's voice, he heard Hannah Berry's voice.

"What is she doing here? flashing the Netherels to death" Michael chuckled inside.

The crowd saw three of the five experts had all agreed while the other two remained silent.

"Noah, Alicia if we may have your opinion." Evan looked at Alicia and Noah and then the little girl beside them.

"I see no problems," Both Noah and Alicia nodded their head in agreement with Evan's plan.

Seeing the strongest among them give their agreement, Evan had a look of excitement on his face. Then, taking a glance at the crowd, he spoke in a loud voice, "Everyone, now that the five experts have all united to enter the immortal's cave, I hope that everyone will stand with us. Our combined strength will be enough to kill the magical beasts, and whoever enters the cave will be able to take what they find!"

As soon as Evan finished his speech, everyone stood up at once and began to cheer loudly. Each one of these men was at level 10 of the Body Refining stage and with their Rare weapons, they were on par with Body Strengthening level 5 warriors.

"If you are not above at least level 7, then don't throw your life away. We are only inviting those who at the peak level to fight with us." Victoria yelled out loud, causing those who didn't meet the criteria to be displeased. Victoria sounded arrogant as usual, the way she spoke irked many people but they had to stay back unless they wanted to end up as magical beast turds.

After this, those who weren't strong enough to face the magical beasts could only retreat away from the cave grounds, leaving behind around seventy men. Each of them was at or above the level 7 Body Refining stage with a strong background and a determined face.

"Good, then let's have everyone here so we can plan things out. I propose that we split up into four groups, each one will deal with a single magical beast, does anyone have any opinions?" Evan spoke.

"This plan's fine, I agree."

"I agree as well."

....

Everyone began to ask their questions.

"shouldn't we wait for Ghost?" among the crowd, a person asked, making Michael grin.
