The Supreme Satanic System



Damien tossed the enormous blueish ice lotus, watching it spin like a top as it traveled on a curvy trajectory and sank into the centermost region of the lake. For a second, the atmosphere around the lake became silent. The next second, a loud explosion erupted, and heavy ripples of water pillars raised and fell. This continued for a minute, and then the water settled, regaining tranquility once again.

A thunderous roar reverberated throughout the surrounding areas, and a red fireball erupted from inside the lake. Kaboom! Another explosion occurred on the bank where Damien stood moments before.

As the debris settled, a small crater was left behind, and the muddy water quickly filled it, becoming a part of the lake.

Damien appeared in another spot and shouted, "Why is a fire dragon hiding inside a lake? That's truly disappointing!" Then he shook his head.

Maybe because of his provocation, or maybe not, a gigantic red dragon leaped into the air, floating high above the ground, flapping its wings. White steam covered its massive body for a few seconds before it roared, eyeing the youth as if he were its prey.

"Hmm! I take back my words," Damien said, feeling the strong killing intent emanating from the dragon. "This one might bring me to my limit," he whispered.

Roar! The Red Dragon tried to intimidate Damien by roaring, raising its head, and starting to channel a skill as it opened its mouth.

Damien could see, with his X-ray vision, the fire-attribute Origin Chi brewing toward the dragon's mouth from all around its body, forming a fireball that grew with time. Three seconds later, ten fireballs twice the size of a football appeared, and the Red Dragon finally stopped, closing its mouth.

Then it spoke, sending a telepathic signal into Damien's head. 'Human brat, you dare to disturb my silent slumber and even more dare to dodge my previous attack. Now, let's see again. Eat my fire-breathes!' Then it roared again and sent out three fireballs, one aimed at Damien and the other two projected around him.

This time, Damien had no intention of dodging the incoming attack. He raised his hand, and a rusty black katana materialized in his grasp. Operating the Lightning Canon Technique, he breathed in a certain set of styles and released a large amount of Lightning-based Origin Chi from his Dantian region. "Vajra Form, Activate!" he shouted, infusing a large amount of white lightning Chi into the black katana. Multiple bolts of white lightning twirled around the sword with a sizzling sound. Damien made a swift vertical slash in the air, and a thick bolt of white lightning shot out along with the sharp sword intent, cutting the incoming fireball into two symmetrical halves. The halves diverged and collided with the other two fireballs, causing them to explode and cover Damien's standing range with debris.

After the white fumes vanished, Damien was still standing, covered in multiple bolts of purple lightning that sizzled around his body. "Hmph! Is this all you've got?" he snorted, taunting the Red Dragon. "You must be a fake dragon!"

The provocation worked, and the last statement echoed in the Red Dragon's ears. Naturally, Dragons were prideful supernatural beings who always considered themselves at the top of the food chain. They usually looked down on other species when they gained intelligence. However, after two failed attempts to take down the human youth, coupled with Damien's provocation, the Red Dragon's anger was kindled.

Roaring, the Red Dragon blasted the remaining eight Fireballs hovering in the air madly, aiming at Damien. It flapped its wings and dashed towards him, whipping its tail. Damien hopped and dodged the tail covered in crimson flame, and the two engaged in a long melee fight. One was covered in thick crimson while the other fought back with his katana covered in white lightning bolts.

Due to their enormous size difference, Damien was more agile than the Dragon for the next three minutes. However, he faced a serious problem. With every strike he landed, he failed to leave a scratch, and it was evident that the defensive attribute of the Dragon's scales was ridiculously strong. Not even the lightning energy had any effect on them. As the fight progressed, the Dragon gradually started to overwhelm Damien in every exchange. He was forced backward and lost his offensive momentum. Finally, the Red Dragon whipped its tail sneakily and sent Damien flying through the air. He flipped his body and traveled nearly a mile before landing on the grassland, skidding and folding his body.

Cynthia's melodious voice chimed in Damien's head. "Ho-ho, this is the very first time I've seen you sweat so much. You're currently at Energy Level 400, while the red dragon is at Energy Level 415. Why don't you fight in your satanic form? Think about your Dwarf Slave who's currently watching this," she suggested.

"Not yet," Damien responded telepathically with a firm tone. "I can still hang on." With a thought, he released all the lightning-based Chi condensed in his dantian, infusing it into his dull-looking black katana. This time, three types of lightning - white, black, and purple - wrapped around his body like armor. Additionally, three types of lightning bolts covered the katana. All of this happened in a minuscule fraction of a second.

"Third chapter, Ninja Shadow Walk, Plus Lightning Step, Activate!" he uttered as his body flickered. In the next second, over ten thousand lightning-based afterimages appeared around the red dragon. They all exclaimed, "Vajra cut!" and slashed; ten thousand tricolor lightning bolts struck and covered every part of the flying dragon. This time, the lightning bolts destroyed the thick crimson flame and then its scales, electrocuting it and causing it to land on the ground with a loud thud.

"How about that?! Hahaha!" Damien thundered, meaning for Cynthia. He watched playfully without thinking about another attack.

The red dragon was now charred black and covered with flickering lightning bolts. After five minutes, it started roaring, regaining its senses. Roar! The next thing, it ignited all of its pure dragon bloodline in its heart to activate its ultimate bloodline skill. As a result, its pair of horns burned crimson red, and multiple webs spread throughout its body, turning a large sigil on its skill, and it regenerated within a few minutes.

"Ah, let's end this," Damien said tediously, and just as he raised his katana to execute the Dragon Beheading skill, a soft childish voice halted him. Peoni Brightflight, the red dragon that had been hibernating inside Damien's spatial storage, was none other than her.

"Big brother, I can handle him," she pleaded. "Let me out."

After conversing telepathically with her, Damien finally let her out. However, the expected red dragon didn't appear. Instead, a cute little girl who looked around ten years old appeared. Other than the pair of red horns, she looked like a normal human girl.

"Alright, it's all yours," Damien beamed, looking forward to her newly evolved strength.

Peoni Brightflight stood before Damien, her red horns glinting in the sunlight. She wore a determined expression, and Damien couldn't help but feel proud of her. She had come a long way since he first met her.

"Are you ready?" Damien asked, giving her a reassuring smile.

Peoni nodded, taking a deep breath. She closed her eyes, and her body started glowing with a bright red aura. The ground beneath her feet trembled as her energy surged.

When she opened her eyes again, they were filled with fierce determination. She spread her wings and soared into the air, leaving behind a trail of red flames.

The red dragon, now fully regenerated, roared and flew toward Peoni. Damien watched from the ground, his hand resting on his katana's hilt.

Peoni and the red dragon clashed in mid-air, exchanging blows with incredible speed and power. Peoni's movements were graceful and precise, while the red dragon's attacks were fierce and unrelenting.

Despite being smaller in size, Peoni held her own against the red dragon. Her movements were fluid and effortless, and her attacks were precise and deadly.

Finally, after a grueling battle that seemed to last an eternity, Peoni emerged victorious. She landed on the ground, panting heavily, her red aura fading away.

Damien approached her, a proud smile on his face. "You did it," he said, patting her on the head. "You've come a long way."

Peoni smiled up at him, her eyes shining with pride. "Thank you, big brother," she said, her voice filled with gratitude.

Damien smiled back at her, feeling a sense of fulfillment wash over him.
