Hitman with a Badass System

Chapter 708 Battle With The Blood Prince



The Blood Prince bore his long fangs at Michael. His red muscles bulged up as blue veins popped up under his skin. However, Michael did not bat an eye. Michael was at the Half Immortal Stage level 3, and the blood prince was at level 5. The Dark Flames were more than enough to substitute the two levels.

“Once you are turned, you will tell us everything,” The Blood Prince menacingly grinned. He quickly dashed at Michael in mid-air. He was almost as fast as Michael. The two of them clashed, flying higher and higher. The blood prince swung his fist left and right. Fortunately, Michael had the black shield. The blood prince’s bulky fist hit the shield with a loud thud. His hands immediately went numb. Michael quickly retaliated by slamming the shield against the blood prince’s face.

“AH!” The Blood Prince growled in anger. The thusians all watched the battle in the air without batting an eye. But they all feared for their lives. The collateral damage of two Half Immortals fighting would be terrifying. Even Michael was surprised. Every time he blocked the blood prince’s punch with his shield, it created a shockwave powerful enough to create violent ripples in the sea beneath. The warships trembled as though there was an earthquake.

The Blood Prince increased his speed even further. He repeatedly punched Michael with no finesse or technique. A single punch put Michael on a deathbed. However, that was when he was a Fusion stage cultivator, and the blood prince ambushed Michael. This time, he blocked every pinch with his shield. In a minute of time, the shield had blocked almost fifty to sixty punches. Yet, the blood prince couldn’t even put a dent in the shield.

“I like this shield of yours,” The Blood Prince licked his lips. Suddenly, he stopped punching and grabbed the shield with his two hands. Both of them pulled the shield toward them. Although the blood prince was taller and more muscular than Michael, he couldn’t easily snatch the shield away from Michael.

“You are strong,’ The Blood Prince growled.

Instead of responding, Michael let go of one hand from the shield, raised it, and punched the Blood Prince right in the face. The punch’s force sent the Blood Prince flying for a few meters. A tooth flew out of the vampire’s mouth, along with blood and spit. Michael felt like he had hit a concrete wall. His hands were numb.

The Blood Prince shook his head as his vision went blurry. Michael threw the shield at the blood prince. The shield cut through the air. Before the Blood Prince could react, the shield hit him in the face, breaking his nose with a sickening crunch. To the vampire’s surprise, the shield took a u-turn and flew straight back to Michael’s hands. A small silver rune glowed on Michael’s palm and on the shield. It was a simple summoning rune yet efficient. Thanks to Elidyr for putting the rune on the shield, Michael could summon the shield back to him after throwing it. He put the same rune on the Doombringer too.

The Blood Prince was about to dash toward Michael again more ferociously when he threw the shield again. Just like before, the shield hit the Blood Prince and returned to him. He did this repeatedly until the Blood Prince managed to punch the shield before it could hit him again. The broken nose of the blood prince healed in a blink of an eye.

“So how does it feel to be a lap dog of someone else?” asked Michael. The Blood Prince hovered in the air instead of dashing toward Michael.

“I kill you, and he gives me something I want. Simple transaction” growled the Blood Prince.

Suddenly, Michael chuckled.

“Something funny?”

“Yeah. I just thought. You woke up from a long slumber and ended up working for a human. Even if you put a leech in a castle, it will always head for the nasty swamps,” Michael riled up the Blood Prince. As he expected, the blood prince’s eyes turned predatory. A red smoke radiated from his body. Slowly, the fangs grew in size, as well as the horns atop his head. Despite his transformation, Michael remained calm. The only change that happened with Michael was the dark flames enveloping his fists. The shield disappeared from his wrist. Michael cracked his knuckles.

The moment the blood prince saw the flames, his eyes went wide.

“Primordial flames,” The Blood Prince was shocked. The shock soon turned into fear. No matter how strong he was, a Primordial flame was stronger.

“You shouldn’t have crossed me, bloodsucker,” Michael snickered. The Blood Prince noticed a change in his voice. Furthermore, his eyes lit up with the same dark flames as on his fist.

The Dark Beams shot out from Michael’s eyes, aiming for the Blood Prince’s chest.

“ARGH!’ The Blood prince roared in pain as the Dark Beams scorched his chest. They penetrated his steel-like skin several inches. His chest smoked. The smell of burning flesh filled the air. When the dark beams disappeared, the blood prince looked down at his chest. The two holes did not close up. For the first time, fear clenched his heart. He never expected a human like Ghost to wield such a powerful Primordial Flame.

As he was in shock, Michael dashed toward the Blood Prince. This time, Michael was the one who swung his fist left and right. The Blood Prince instinctively raised his arms to block Ghost’s punches. Michael’s dark flames-covered fist hit the blood prince’s arm ferociously. Unlike Michael, the blood prince didn’t have any shield. It was a bad move to use his flesh as a shield. Just like the dark beams, the flames on Michael’s fist burnt the Blood Prince’s hands. Michael bombarded the Blood Prince with punches. The vampire’s body started to smoke like a roasted turkey. Michael pushed the offense further by landing several kicks. While the blood prince was defending the punches, Michael shot another dark beam.

“ARGH!” The Blood Prince growled. Michael grabbed the Blood Prince’s hand, spread them apart, and head-butted the Blood Prince again and again. Violent waves crashed onto the ships, almost tilting them upside down. Every time Michael’s head clashed with the Blood Prince’s, it sounded like thunderclaps.

The Blood Prince violently struggled under Michael’s grasp. He felt the Dark flames crawling onto him like tiny snakes. Suddenly, Michael stopped head-butting the vampire. Instead, he clasped the blood prince’s face. He looked the vampire in the eyes and fired the dark beams right through the vampire’s eyes. The vampire screamed in agony. Unfrountaly, the dark beams weren’t powerful enough to penetrate through the blood prince’s eyes.

Even Michael couldn’t kill the Blood Prince without an Immortal killing weapon. All he could do was hurt him to the point when they fought next time, he could kill the vampire quickly. However, Michael did not want to simply hurt the Blood Prince. He wanted to literally rip apart his hand. Although the Blood Prince’s appearance caught Michael off guard, it was a blessing. If he didn’t appear, Michael would have had to look for an Immortal Bone to craft a weapon. Thanks to the Blood Prince, he didn’t need to pay the system a huge sum or look for a bone.

The dark flames crawled toward the Blood Prince, completely engulfing his right hand. The Blood Prince screamed. His thunderous roar echoed through the pocket dimension. It was powerful enough to create several fifty feet tall waves in the sea. Many soldiers abandoned the ships and flew away.

They didn’t dare to attack either.  The shock waves produced by their clash were enough to kill several of them. Under the scorching heat of the dark flames, the skin melted off like butter. No matter how hard the blood prince tried, he couldn’t escape Michael’s hold. In his pain, he failed to notice a layer of darkness around him. Soon, the blood prince lost all the flesh on his right arm. Michael punched the shoulder bone. The Blood Prince fought back to escape Michael’s grab using all of his strength. However, Michael covered himself with the dark flames. Furthermore, he willed the dark flames to engulf the blood prince too.

Michael struggled to break the vampire’s bones. No matter how many times he punched, the shoulder didn’t not break. Finally, having no choice, Michael poured dark flames and dark energy into the dark beams. He shot the beams at the shoulder bone. Furthermore, he paid the system fifty thousand badass points just to boost the beams’ power.

“LET ME GO!” The Blood Prince felt his hand coming off of his body. He couldn’t cast any spells because of the dark flames around him. His skin slowly burned. Hence, his body and energy prioritized healing him instead of fighting. Finally, the bones cracked. With a final pull, Michael pulled out the Blood Prince’s arm right off of his shoulder.

Blood gushed out like a fountain. The soldiers who heard the thunderous roar of the Blood Prince trembled uncontrollably. Then, to the vampire’s shock, Michael beat him with his own bone.

“HUMAN!” He roared. He flapped his wings and immediately flew away from Michael. He didn’t dare to linger any longer.

“Do not underestimate him, Blood Prince,” The Blood Prince heard Saber’s words in his head. He regretted not heeding his advice. He thought he could kill Ghost and get what he wanted from Maxim Barnes. Unfortunately, everything went south when Ghost revealed the Primordial Flames. No matter how powerful a vampire was, they were as weak as a newborn baby in front of Primordial Flames. If an elder was in the Blood Prince’s place, they would have burnt to dust.

In the heat of the battle, Michael failed to notice the ships disappearing one by one on the horizon. Michale had realized the thusians were escaping the pocket dimension.𝑂𝐯𝐥xt.𝓒𝒪𝐦

“Stay out of my way. Or I will come straight to your home and burn everything down,” Michael growled as the vampire vanished into thin air. He turned into a lightning bolt and headed down to destroy as many ships as possible before escaping the pocket dimension. The Blood Prince’s appearance had thrown a wrench into his initial plan, to say the least.
