The Supreme Satanic System

Chapter 365 Dragon Slaying Bullet!

Amidst great cheer and jubilation, the Dwarves did ensnare Damien in their mystical Transient Trapping Air-cage, whilst singing a song of high praise for their noble forefather, Grutmaek Lavafall.

"Within the mountain's heart, we the Dwarves didst gather,

To catch a giant, a foe like none other,

We? built a cage of fiery air, transient yet strong,

And waited for the giant to come along."

"Oh, Grutmaek Lavafall, our ancestor bold,

Who taught us the ways to catch giants of old,

We praise thy name, with each trap we set,

And honor thy legacy, with each giant we net."

"The giant approached, with thundering steps,

Unaware of the trap, he took no bets,

The Dwarves sprang the cage, it closed around,

And lifted the giant off the ground."

"The giant struggled, with all his might,

But the cage held firm, throughout the night,

At dawn, the Dwarves came, with axes in hand,

To slay the giant, and claim the land."

"We, the Dwarves cheered, as the giant fell,

Our? victory, a tale to tell,

For we caught a giant, with skill and might,

And honor our ancestors, with each fight."

"So let us sing, of Grutmaek Lavafall,

And we the Dwarves who catch giants, one and all,

For we are strong, and their traps are sound,

And we honor our ancestors, with each giant they've found."

The song ended, and they started clapping in a rhythmic pattern. Suddenly, the fiery net transformed into multiple long chains, with one binding Damien's neck, two around his wrists, and two around his legs.

"How interesting," Damien remarked, speaking fluently in the Archaic Katakara tongue. He then expelled multiple lightning bolts, which burned the fiery red energy chains into smithereens.

"How is that even possible?" shrieked the dwarf wearing the silver crown. The others also started to panic.

"Don't fret, everyone," the leader quickly regained his composure and announced. "Let's use our dragon-scale bullets to knock this giant down. Be ready, and load fire!"

With multiple sounds of firing guns, fifteen red bullets cast from dragon's scale shot, incoming at Damien. At that infinitesimal fraction of a second, a red flag notification popped up in his head with a beep.

[Warning! Warning!]

[Each bullet contains a terrifying amount of energy, around 422 Energy Level!]

"Hurry, and dodge!" Cynthia's worried voice chimed in his head.

Damien used both the Ninja Movement skill and lightning at the same time, dodging all of the incoming bullets. Since all the bullets missed their target, they hit the ground, causing a huge tremor. Debris of dirt, pebble, and dust clouded the area. After settling, all the dwarves looked around to see a large crater the size of a big pond. They started cheering for taking out a strong and dumb giant.

However, amidst the joyous cheers, the leader, Zokaka Dunderbun, felt that something was wrong. Upon closer inspection, he found no traces of Damien and thought about how he had dodged all those bullets.

"Silence, silence!" Zokaka yelled, and everyone turned to him.

"What's wrong, Prince Zokaka?" asked a dwarf.

"I don't see any traces of blood or the giant's remains. Perhaps he's still alive, hiding around here," Zokaka spoke, voicing his gut feeling.

The others dismissed his concern. "Oh, come on Prince. Don't be so pessimistic. The bullets we used were handmade by Grandmaster Grumdoc Flintstone. Even your father, King Ragnar, said that these Dragon Slaying Bullets could easily kill stray dragons. There's no way a dumb giant can escape their wrath. Stop overthinking it," said one dwarf.

The group of veteran soldiers stationed in the western barren land ignored the prince's notion. It was his first time patrolling the area, and they were proud of their expertise.

"The prince is right!" Damien materialized in front of them, causing a large crater between him and the dwarves. Waving his hand mockingly, he added, "Those bullets are marvelous, but I'm still standing here in one piece," instilling fear in all of them.

Although Prince Zokaka's gut feeling was right, he knew it was not a situation to celebrate. His expression changed drastically as he realized the giant in front of him was out of the ordinary and had been toying with them from the beginning. He brainstormed a way to capture or escape the dire situation.

Meanwhile, some of the startled dwarves raised their rifles, losing their composure. Just as they clicked their triggers, the Prince shouted, "Cease all fire!" But it was too late. Bang! Bang! Bang!

Debris of dirt, earth, and dust clouded everyone's vision. Then the prince clapped, sending out a sonic wave to clear the dust. However, what he saw next overwhelmed him with terror. The five dwarves who fired their rifles flickered with a thin white lightning bolt and exploded, losing their lives instantly.

Terror streaked across everyone's hearts. The remaining nine dwarves were consumed with anger, seeing their comrades die in such a horrific manner. Without regard for their own lives, they roared and started firing at Damien. The prince yelped, trying to stop them. But the conclusion was already written in stone, and all of them died similarly.

In despair, the Prince tossed his rifle, dropped to his knees, and said, "I surrender! Oh, great giant, I swear my loyalty to you. Please spare my life."

Damien continued his work without acknowledging Prince Zokaka's presence. He gathered all fifteen rifles and searched the lifeless dwarves for any clues. When he finished, Damien turned his attention to the prince and asked, "Which one is the Dragon Slaying Bullet?" He displayed various rounded bullets, wondering about his disciple, Layla, the sniper.

Prince Zokaka saw an opportunity to reconcile and reached into his pants pocket. He approached Damien on his knees and presented the bullet with courtesy, saying, "Here it is, oh benevolent great giant." He opened his palm to reveal a reddish, rounded ball.

Damien picked up the bullet and attempted to scan it using his X-ray vision. However, his attempt was futile as something inside obstructed his vision.

Suddenly, a notification appeared in his mind with a dinging sound.

[System Sense Presence Of The Amalgamation Of Dragon Core Fragment And God Crystal Stone!"]

Damien's smile widened from ear to ear.
