Hitman With A Badass System

Chapter 1274 Eve vs Salesi I

Using the arch energy crystal, Noah activated the flying runes engraved in his boots, allowing him to soar through the sky toward the colossal hydras clashing above. As he ascended, he was struck by how insignificant he appeared against their immense forms. He even doubted if the hydras would notice him.

"Subdue the middle head, the weak link," one of Mugashuku's heads growled, targeting Sarba.

"No, we need to take out the white head… It's the most powerful," another head of Mugashuku countered.

Each of Mugashuku's heads had a distinct personality and their own opinions. This lack of sync could be a weakness, but unlike Mugashuku, Vedora's three heads operated in perfect unison, devoid of individual personalities or intelligence and driven solely by instinctual destruction.

"The black head, what's its power?" another head of Mugashuku inquired.

But Noah, undeterred by the debate among the heads, navigated through the maze of crackling lightning bolts firing through the sky. Thanks to Mugashuku's ability to absorb energy, the radiation emanating from Vedora was neutralized, sparing the army and nearby cities from potential poisoning.

After what felt like an eternity, Noah finally drew close enough for one of Mugashuku's heads to notice the tiny figure flying towards them.

"Seems like the one called the Supreme Guardian is heading our way…" one head noted.

"Ignore him. We have a hydra to slay," another head retorted dismissively.

As the heads of Mugashuku bickered, the middle head, fueled by frustration, cursed at the others.

"Focus, you damned fools!" Then, it launched powerful red beams from its eyes. In response, Vedora let out a primal roar, showcasing its sheer lust for destruction, devoid of any intelligence or emotion. The white head, Ayag, roared back, unleashing powerful golden lightning bolts. Meanwhile, Sarba, the middle head of Vedora, fired intense sonic waves that transformed the golden lightning into a web of crackling energy.

As the attacks collided, a blinding spectacle of red and yellow consumed the sky. Soldiers below scattered, their cries swallowed by the thunderous clash. Noah felt his robes singe, his skin scorching from the radiating heat. Pain shot through him, but he gritted his teeth and held his position, determined to reach Mugashuku.

Amidst this chaos, Noah felt his white robes singe and his skin sear from the radiating heat of the battle. He hissed in pain but managed to maintain his position in the air, determined to reach Mugashuku no matter what.

"Damn it, this is insane!" one soldier shouted as he dodged debris and energy blasts.

"What in the hell are those monsters doing up there?!" Another exclaimed in awe and terror.

Despite the searing pain and the overwhelming power display in the sky, Noah pushed forward, driven by a need to intervene before the battle between the hydras resulted in irreversible damage to the world below.

The fusion of attacks ignited a blinding explosion that sent shockwaves rippling through the air. In the aftermath, the skies were painted in swirling red and gold as the smoke enveloped the two hydras like ominous dark clouds.

Suddenly, Mugashuku erupted from the smoke. One of its black heads, which had been quiet until now, unleashed a guttural roar and charged. Blindsided, Vedora had little time to react as Mugashuku lunged past its defenses. Teeth like jagged spears sank into the white head, Ayag, eliciting a shriek that cut through the noise of battle.

"That did it!" a soldier bellowed on the battlefield below. "The black head bit the white one!"

"They'll bring the whole sky down on us!" someone yelled.

Vedora thrashed, golden lightning crackling across its scales as Ayag wrenched its head free. But Mugashuku was relentless. Another one of his heads snapped forward, clamping down on Sarba, the middle head. Sarba let out a strangled screech as its sonic blast faltered.

Mugashuku pressed its advantage. Using its colossal size, it slammed its full weight into Vedora, sending them tumbling. The world seemed to tilt for a heart stopping moment as the hydras spiraled towards the ground. Then, with a mighty surge, Mugashuku twisted mid air, its powerful legs now positioned above Vedora.

"The big one got the upper hand!" someone shouted.

In a brutal display of power, Mugashuku brought its legs down, pinning Vedora's thrashing forms. The two titans grappled in the sky, a nightmarish tangle of scales and claws. Vedora, caught off guard, struggled to dislodge itself, its roars devoid of any pain, replaced with a primal fury born from desperation.

But Mugashuku held firm. Each of its four heads clamped down on Vedora. Two of its heads pinning Ayag and Sarba while the other two held Cain firmly. Vedora's struggles grew weaker, and its movements became less frantic.

For a breathless moment, it seemed Mugashuku would crush the other hydra under its sheer might. Yet, Vedora, an undead horror birthed through forbidden magic, was not so easily subdued.

Seeing the battle momentarily paused, Noah seized the chance. He darted forward, knowing such an opportunity might never come again.

"Mugashuku!" Noah cried out. The hydra's four heads swiveled towards him, eyes gleaming as it pinned Vedora beneath its colossal legs.

"So... the God of Light and I meet at last," mused Mugashuku's middle head, a hint of amusement in its voice despite the dire circumstances.

"The honor is mine, Lord Mugashuku. But we must act quickly," Noah replied, fear and determination warring within him. His gaze flickered to the struggling Vedora. "This hydra threatens to destroy our world." 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙖𝒔𝒕.𝒄𝙤𝒎

"This abomination was born of powers beyond your comprehension, human," the middle head replied, its feminine voice echoing eerily. "Yet, only through the realm tear can you banish it back to the darkness from whence it came."

A wave of both relief and terror washed over Noah. A solution existed, but the shimmering green tear in the sky was shrinking by the second. He had to act fast.

"How do I help?" Noah demanded, desperation edging into his voice. For a tense moment, Mugashuku scrutinized him with its chilling gaze.

Vedora writhed and thrashed beneath Mugashuku's relentless grip. Though undead, it was far from defeated. However, its lack of true intelligence had allowed Mugashuku the upper hand, an advantage it wouldn't hold forever.

"Very well, God of Light. You must reopen the realm tear," Mugashuku declared.

"Tell me how!" Noah insisted.

"Immense energy is required. Pure, concentrated energy must be focused upon the tear." Before Noah could reply, a thunderous explosion ripped through the air. Swiveling in unison, Noah and Mugashuku's heads snapped toward the battlefield. A massive portal shimmered into existence, its swirling vortex dominating the landscape.

It pulsed with an otherworldly energy, swirling with a kaleidoscope of colors. Then, a figure emerged from the swirling vortex.

Tall and regal, clad in gleaming white armor adorned with the emblem of Nagaland—a serpent coiled and ready to strike—Salesi stepped out of the portal. Her fiery red hair cascaded down her back, contrasting starkly with the polished white. Behind her, an army of warriors, similarly clad in immaculate white armor, streamed through the portal. Their movements were precise and disciplined.

Relief washed over Noah for a fleeting moment. Seeing his mother-in-law leading such a well-equipped army calmed some of the frantic beating of his heart. But a sliver of suspicion lingered. He knew Nagaland's forces, though skilled, were no match for the raw power of an undead hydra.

As the last soldier marched through the portal, the shimmering gateway sealed shut with another resounding crack. Salesi raised her hand, silencing the murmurs that rippled through her ranks. Her gaze swept across the battlefield, finally settling on the monstrous spectacle above.

For a moment, her eyes flickered with something similar to morbid satisfaction. There, locked in a deadly embrace, were the two hydras – Mugashuku, its multiple heads snarling in dominance over the thrashing Vedora. A secret smile played on Salesi's lips, a flicker of cunning hidden beneath her determined expression.

Andohr's audacious and risky plan was working. Her arrival, leading this elite force, would undoubtedly convince Noah she was here to tip the scales in their favor. But her true objective was far more intricate. She needed to manipulate Noah, the God of Light, into confronting the Dark Lord.

Salesi needed to lure the God of Darkness into the mortal world to create a battleground where Noah, the God of Light, would be forced to take a stand. Only then would her revenge against the Dark Lord be complete – a plan fueled by years of simmering hatred and a thirst for justice for her father.

Meanwhile, Noah, oblivious to Salesi's true motive, watched his mother-in-law with a mixture of hope and unease.

On the other hand, when Eve saw Salesi and her army, she knew it was time to end Salesi, despite the hydras battling above and the risk their fight could destroy the world.

"Azazel... are you seeing this? She's here," Eve said into her earpiece, standing firmly on the ground.

"I see it, my lady. But do not engage her. A snake like her wouldn't have shown up without a cunning plan. Since there's no chance of making Noah see that this might all be her doing, you need to retreat and hope the Dark Lord will soon arrive," Azazel advised. However, Eve shook her head, knowing this was her best shot to permanently eliminate Salesi.

"No, I'm going after that snake, Azazel. I'm going to cut the head off that bitch and end this scheming once and for all," Eve declared.

Far from the battlefield, the sinister Andreas floated in the air, watching the scene unfold. He maintained a telepathic connection with Salesi, keeping her updated on the plans.

"Our forces are moving against Harry, Salesi. We will have our backup in case Noah once again fails to kill the Dark Lord," Andreas said with a sinister chuckle.

"It looks like the Dark Lord's lapdog is heading my way. Seems like we can give the Dark Lord a reason to be pissed off," Salesi communicated back telepathically.

"What do you mean?" Andreas asked, though he suspected where Salesi was heading with this.

"I'm going to kill her..." Salesi responded with a cold snicker.
