Chapter 157: Overpowered Michael I

"What are you trying to do?"

Just as he stood up, a chime-like voice appeared from behind him. Michael abruptly looked backward as he heard it. Lailah had already opened her eyes. Her limpid eyes seemed to contain ripples like autumn water, staring at Michael with a bewitching charm.

Michael remained calm, staring back at Lailah, "I'm going for a walk"

Lailah slowly closed her eyes and said gently, "Remember where you are right now. You can't make trouble, not only will you lose your life but also lose the baby dragon, our best chance to survive this place"

"Lady Alden, don't worry. I'm not going to mess around with my life." Michael laughed gently, before concealing his presence. He walked outside silently.

It was already pitch-black outside the cave. The sky was dark, devoid of any stars. Michael's vision was affected by the darkness in The Treacherous Ocean as well; it was not as bad as the fog where his hand would leave his range of vision if extended, though it was still limited to only several hundred meters because of the perception pills he took.

Deathly silence lingered in the surroundings, with no sound at all. It was as if only Lailah and he were in the entirety of The Treacherous Ocean without any other traces of life.

Michael calmly stood at the cave's mouth, staring at the place. He did not make any sound at all. Suddenly, Michael's ears twitched slightly. Soon after, a gleam of light immediately flickered in his dull eyes. He suddenly raised his head and stared fixedly into the distance, becoming grim in a flash.

A while later, several dark figures slowly emerged in Michael's vision range. They traveled on the ground, walking slowly in Michael's direction, their movements were stiff like robots. Drops of sweat began to drip down from his head staring at the figures, they were all at Core Strengthening stage and he could even sense some Soul Refining humanoid figures among the dark figures.

Michael's Clam expression was replaced by a stern look. Locking his gaze with the dark figures, he slowly backed away without making a sound.

"shit, they found us" Michael was shocked, he had no time to wonder how as he rushed to the end of the cave. He needed to tell Lailah about this.

Perhaps she had sensed Michael's hurried steps, Lailah had already opened her eyes when she arrived at the end of the cave. Even in a situation like this, she maintained her graceful composure.

"Lady Alden, there's a group of Core Strengthening and a few Soul Refining mutated creatures heading towards the cave," Michael said silently.

Hearing that, Lailah's expression changed abruptly. She stood up suddenly, eyebrows furrowed and expression grim.

She could handle a few fallen Core Strengthening mutated beings, but she seriously doubted that she could fight a group of Core Strengthening beings and a few Soul Refining beasts at the same time. The battle would alert even more mutated beings, furthermore, it was night right now. Visibility in The Treacherous Ocean was too limited, while the dangers were unknown. It was even more dangerous than fleeing in the daytime.

"Just how far are they from the cave?" Lailah asked, her tone was stern.

"Around four hundred meters," Michael replied. Neither of them dared to speak aloud.

"This cave must have been where they once stayed. Quickly, we need to leave here immediately." Lailah showed no hesitation, running towards the outside with the veena in her arms while Michael followed closely behind her.

Both Michael and Lailah knew the outcome extremely well if they met these mutated beings. Even with the baby dragon's aura, the mutated beings still would be able to sense them if they became too close.

The two of them hurried out of the cave. They moved completely silently, without making any sound at all. Both of their faces turned pale when they arrived at the entrance of the cave. There were seven human mutated beings, and they had already arrived within fifty meters of the cave entrance. They were all expressionless, with lifeless eyes and stiff movements like robots. Furthermore, they were all at the Core Strengthening stage.

When Michael and Lailah arrived at the entrance of the cave, he scanned the area and then heaved a small sigh of relief because the Soul Refining stage mutated beings were far away from the Core Strengthening stage group, which gave Michael an idea. Powerful auras immediately began to radiate from the mutated beings' bodies as surging energy trembled in their bodies. The region turned into a storm of energy instantly.

"Fuck it, I have to use that" he was saving that item for a dire situation and this was such a situation. He quickly promoted the system to show his storage. Inside the dark bluish system storage, a vial radiating golden rays of light appeared in front of his eyes. It was the healing potion he got by opening his first gift box after coming to this world. (Refer to Chapter 3 if you have no idea what I'm talking about)

He received two healing potions and because he had no other way, he used one to save Raylene and her baby. The one in front of him was the last healing potion that could make him immune to any attacks for two full minutes. He knew two whole minutes of immunity is a super op thing and now is the time to use the potion.

"Lady Alden, do you have a sword or anything like that to fight these things?" To get the most out of the healing potion's effects, he needed a good sword or a weapon to kill these mutated beings. The sword on his back was in no condition for another life or death battle.

"Why? You are not strong enough to fight them"

"Trust me, Lady Alden, I have a way" seeing no other way and the confidence in his eyes, she flicked her wrist as a bunch of swords and spears appeared on the ground before Michael. All of the weapons that just appeared were either Epic or Rare, he did not have time to study them to pick the best. He just picked two swords with brown hilts and silvery blades, of course, they were Epic weapons.

She creased her brows, having no idea of what's he planning,

"Lady Alden, use your strongest attacks on the mutated beings im targeting and try to keep the others from me. Don't come closer to them, use the distance to your advantage, and after exactly two minutes, we make a break for it, hopefully before any Soul Refiners appear"

"That's my boy," the old man beside Michael clapped. Lailah on the other hand furrowed her brows, "You're going to fight them head-on? You have no chance of winning"

Roar!

All the mutated beings produced monster-like roars at the same time. They no longer remained like before with the roar, becoming much more nimble. With a few blurs, the seven Core Strengthening warriors charged at Michael and Lailah.

"I got this" just after these three words escaped his mouth, Lailah saw him take out a golden color elixir and finish it in one gulp.

"Our time starts now" in a blink of an eye, Michael turned himself into a bolt of lightning and dashed forward, targeting one of the muted beings.

The Arch energy in Michael's body flowed steadily into the two swords in his hands. He used the Lightning dash, arriving before one of the Core Strengthening stage warriors instantly in the form of a blur. He stabbed the sword that radiated with the energy of destruction into the corpse's chest with lightning speed.

The living corpse did not show any intentions of dodging as it faced Michael's attack. It paid no attention to Michael's sword, directly throwing a punch at him. His mastery over swords and nimble body let him easily dodge the attack.

Cruk!

One of the swords passed through the person's chest without any obstructions, reappearing on the other side. Again, there was no blood or even any signs of pain on the person's face. Meanwhile, his fist continued towards Michael with great strength.

Michael used the lightning dash, dodging the punch in a blink of an eye. He quickly evaded to the side, slashing the person using both of his swords, they directly chopped away half of the mutated person's chest, leaving only half of his body connecting the upper torso and lower half. He did not stop from cleaving its body into two halves but continued to slice and dice the body.

"Wind blast" ignoring the notification, he raised his hand, shooting a wave of forceful wind from his palm to send the diced body parts flying in all directions.

At this very moment, another two Core Strengthening stage warriors attacked Michael at the same time from the side. Their attacks were extremely simple, bluntly hurling their fists without any fancy tricks.

Ding!

Suddenly two visible notes of music pushed the mutated beings away from Michael and disoriented them and the music was powerful enough to rip off the mutated beings' hands-off, allowing Michael to slice and dice them before wind blasting them to far away.

The falling of the three mutated beings did not stop the rest of them from attacking Michael. They all targeted mainly Lailah because she was the strongest and wasn't covered by the death-kissed dragon's aura. However, this didn't stop them from throwing a few killing blows at Michael.

Pulch!

Pulch!

Lailah saw he was punched in the face and the chest by two mutated beings but before she could actually react, he swung his whole body and slashed the two of them like their punches did not hurt him at all. She was stunned by the sight because a normal Body Strengthening stage cultivator could t have survived those punches, she was sure of it.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 10000 badass points]

The two swords swept through the air as a black streak of light with a destructive aura, severing their heads. He had directly bisected two mutated beings.

As expected, even with severed heads, they quickly approached Michael, directly kicking at him.

Ding!

Ding!

At the same time, two more musical notes cut their bodies further before Michael sliced them up again.
