Hitman with a Badass System

"Wonderful!" Gaya joyfully clapped, thinking about the opportunities these little spiders would bring them. She focused on the spiders Michael is building but no matter how hard she focused, she couldn't even sense a trace of Arch energy from them as expected of the spiders made of Junk metal.

One by one Michael connected the spiders to the mirrors building a state-of-the-art surveillance unit in the Abyssal. After building a couple of spiders, his speed increased significantly. It took him approximately two hours to build sixty spiders before finally running out of parts and materials.

"We have sixty spiders so we have to use them efficiently. Can you build more of these and how do you control them?"

"I can control them using a telepathic link and at the moment I can maximum control sixty-five spiders" the number of spiders he was able to control depended on his cultivation level, at the Core Formation stage, he could maximum control a hundred spiders when he reaches the level 10.

At level 1, sixty was his threshold but sixty spiders were more than enough for him to spy on the important nobles and figures in Bredia.

"Since that's the case, I suggest we send some of them to the church, guardians, and the King of Bredia"

"It's my plan too but we should test our little spies first" a devilish smile could be seen behind Michael's black mask and the same could be said to Gaya.

At this moment, the world had not one but two Dark Lords, Lucifer, and his Queen. The two of them were made for each other as they had the same target in their minds, Minister Gerty.

"So what are we waiting for, let's go" Gaya was excited to see the spiders in action.

"I have one more thing to do, how strong is your venom?" the sudden question slightly surprised her,

"Anyone below my cultivation stage would definitely die if my poison entered their body. The weaker they are, the faster they die"

"What about the people above your cultivation stage?"

"Core Strengthening stage beings will be weakened instantly and would die in a few days if they dont take an antidote or a potion to counteract the poison. I'm not completely sure of what will be the effects to anyone above the Core Strengthening stage" Michael heard what she heard silently before taking out a vial and a few herbs he picked from the Treacherous Ocean and the Sky garden from his space ring.

"Spit it out"Â

"Okay"Â

Plop!

Michael lightly slapped the back of her head when she was about to spit saliva into the vial instead of the poison.

"Why did you do that?"

"Spit your poison not your saliva" she punched him the shoulder and said,

"Next time use the word poison, you dumb fuck"

"Oh, I'm a dumb fuck? Just give me your poison, your royal highness" he couldn't help but chuckle after hearing her. With the smirk on her face, she lifted the mask as her canines slightly grew longer like a vampire. Soon from the point of her two canines, dark green drops of poison dribbled into the vial permitting a nauseating stench.

After the vial was half-filled with Gaya's poison, Michael conjured the alchemy flames above his hand and began to throw the herbs on the table into the green flames.

Gaya patiently waited for him to complete the potion brewing.

"System, can you remove the Arch energy radiation from this potion?" Michael asked the system, staring at the colorless liquid in the vial before him.

[It can be done for 1000 badass points]

"Hmm, thousand points huh?" Michael pondered for a moment before ordering the system to do it.

"Take it"

A small layer of light that could only be seen by Michael wrapped around the vial before fading away from the eyes. The next moment, Michael could not sense any Arch energy radiation from the potion, it was completely colorless and odorless.

"What is this?"

"A better variant of your poison" Michael handed over the poison to Gay to inspect. She took a sniff and then stuck the point of her tongue to taste test it.

"It is my poison but how can it not have any trace of Arch energy?"

"I'm a 5-star Alchemist with ancient knowledge and im awesome"Â

"Yes, you are" Gaya leaned closer to lift his mask before locking his face with hers to merge in a passionate kiss.

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

(A week after Michael built his spy cameras)

At the moment in Royal land, two cloaked figures were standing far away from a mansion blending with the surrounding trees. The mansion was located in a residential area of the Royal land, there were no buzzing crowds, line of buildings and merchant carriages could be seen in the area around the mansion.

From the outside, the mansion looked old but wonderful. It was built with tan stones and has red brick decorations. Large, octagon windows added to the overall look of the house and have been added to the house in a very symmetric way.

The mansion was square-shaped. The house was fully surrounded by glass overhanging panels. It had two floors, the second floor was smaller than the first, which allowed for a roof garden on two sides of the house. This floor had a very different style than the floor below.

The roof was low and rounded and was covered with stone slabs. Two large chimneys on each side of the manor poked out r of the roof. Several large windows let in plenty of light to the rooms below the roof.

The manor itself was surrounded by a gorgeous garden, including hanging grapevines, a pagoda, a pond, and many different flowers. On top of the beautiful garden, the manor was filled with soldiers in iron armour, people with staff, and archers.

Despite the heavy snowfall and the cold, the soldiers did not seem to slack off, the patrolling units were strolling through the knee-high snow without getting tired.

There was only one road that came out of the main gate and except for a group of soldiers who were patrolling, there were no carriages or people could be seen traveling on the road.

The two figures who were looking at the manor from the distance wore simple tunics, they did not stand out much and anyone who saw them would think they were just resting under the shade of trees. Besides the two cloaked figures, there were a couple of travelers and merchants who were resting before campfires to escape the cold of the winter.

"Time to let the spiders out the bag" one of the cloaked figures took a small pouch from their pocket and opened the pouch as several little spiders in various colors jumped out of the pouch. Soon the spiders changed their colors to blend in with the environment like a chameleon, some spiders on the ground changed their colors to snow-white while those that were on the grass changed their color to green.

"Creepy but I like them," the other cloaked figure said in a feminine voice.

Obviously, these two figures were Michael and Gaya who spent a week flying to Royal land from the Dark forest. Since they were here to spy and kill Gerty, they changed their appearance by changing their clothes and the color of their hair using a simple potion brewed by Michael.

"Let's head back to the tavern and monitor the spiders from there"  Michael paid for a room in a tavern nearest to Gerty's manor. After moving the spiders into the pile of snow on the road to the manor, Michael and Gaya began to walk in the direction of the tavern.

The streets before Michael was blanketed with snow but it did not seem to stop the people from coming out of their homes. He saw many fancy carriages running through the streets while people wearing fur-covered winter clothes strolling through the snow to their work.It took Michael a few minutes of walking to exit the residential area and enter the town's square where he saw the handiwork of fake Lucifer a few weeks ago when he was at Royal Land.

Michael and Gaya did not spend much time on the crime scene. They swiftly went to the tavern and entered their room without socializing with the crowd in the tavern.

Their room was just like any other room in a tavern, it had a bed, a table, and a chair but the room was cleaner than the tavern he used to stay in the river town.

"Shut the door"Â

While Michael was placing the orbs on the table, Gaya used Arch energy to keep the door shut and prevent anyone from eavesdropping from the adjacent rooms.

"Let's see" Michael closed his eyes to connect the ten spiders he dropped from the pouch to the orbs before him.

Soon afterward, each orb showed the scenery of snow and a mansion in the distance. Michael began to control the spiders from his room,

"Damn snow, it makes patrolling so tiring"

"Shut up and do your job, we will be hanged to death if something happens to Minister Gerty" while the spiders passing the patrolling soldiers, Michael heard their conversation through the orbs.

"Lucifer really fucked up Jarod Gurty and his wife, I hate to say but they deserved it after what they did to the southerner slaves"

"Why are you shedding tears for southerners? Those weaklings wouldn't be in this position if they were blessed with the ability to cultivate"

"Don't be an asshole, Liam. Imagine that if you were sent to another continent as a slave, that's a worse fate one could have. Minister Gerty is one sick bastard for in the trade for southern slaves" Michael hid the spiders in the snow to listen to the soldiers as they continued,

"Shhh! Are you planning to get killed? Even the Guardians or the King have no problem with importing southern slaves"

"What a bunch of hypocrites, as long as the slaves from the southern continent, the Guardians are fine with it huh?" Michael snickered. The more he learned about the Guardians, the more he realized that the Guardians are not what most people think they are.
