The Supreme Satanic System

"Congrats! You also gained a Karat 2 Shadow Stone." Olivia said, looking at the Red Crystal Stone.

Standing up, Damien wiped the crystal with a white tissue and asked, "Strange! How did you gauge the karat Grading system?"

Hitting her own forehead, she sighed, "Ah, my bad. I forgot to mention that earlier." Then she snatched the Red Crystal Stone briskly and hit over her Association's red ring. The next thing, the ring radiated red light, fluctuating two times. "See! Actually, after you gain more of these Shadow Stones, you'll get a hang of it and understand the Karate grade by its size, and weight. For now, you try hitting it on your Ring."

After Damien had taken out the Shadow Stone, the cadaver degraded rapidly and turned into a pile of fertilizer. He noted the strangeness in his mind. 

"Oli, speaking of the Karate Grading, I still thought about why those Bald Donkeys came after you and crashed our party, just for a Karat 5 Shadow Stone." He further continued, explaining. "And they gave you a Karate 25 Shadow Stone to end the issue quickly. I smell something fishy about all their play."

Frowning, she responded, "You're correct. It's bizarre for an Arhat to enter the Association's territory, to begin with. What do you suggest?"

"Well, let me look." Damien reached out his hand. Without even thinking twice, she placed a Red Crystal Stone, four times the size of a Pigeon egg. He hit it over his red ring.

"There's no point. I've already done that." She said. As she mentioned, the Red Light flashed five times.

"There must be a big deal about this stone." Mumbling under his breath, Damien spoke, telepathically in his head, 'Cynthia, let the System run a test on this stone.'

"Right into it!" Cynthia responded chiming inside his head.

Damien continued to observe the stone keenly without blinking for the next five minutes. This caught Olivia's curiousness, but she didn't run her mouth fearing to disturb his mental concentration. 'He seems into something.' She reminded herself in her head, repeatedly.

Damien felt a rush of exhilaration hearing the dinging sound of the System. Ding!

[Scanning Completed!]

[Click Here To See The Detail!] And there was also a set of rules regarding how to operate.

With a thought, Damien clicked the status bar in his mind and a flash of 3D imagery appeared in front of him. Only he could see it. Raising his hand, he flipped the Crystal Stone. And he could see even the interior part of the stone which he even failed using his X-ray vision earlier. It turned out the Shadow Stone was really a Karat Five grade. But what took him surprise was another stone hiding inside it. 

Just as the instruction, he cut it using his fingertip and saw another Red Crystal Stone the size of a pigeon's eye.

"Cynthia, did you know the way to crack the outer layer?" asked Damien telepathically.

"Sorry, I didn't find any information regarding how to crack a God Crystal Stone." Then Cynthia remained quiet again.

Finally, Damien stopped glaring at it. 

Unable to wait anymore, Olivia asked, "Find anything?"

"I guess." He responded. "There is another Crystal Stone inside it. But I still don't have a way to crack it yet. My best choice is to take it to Grandmaster Theodore." Then he reached out his hand toward her.

"Alright, I'll summon him in my palace and keep it." Olivia began walking with each step her figure turned blurry and appeared fifty-three feet away from the previous spot. In order to keep up with her speed, he flew in the air.

For the next week, Damien hunted over three hundred beasts and he collected Forty-three Karat 1 and Thirty-five Karat 2 Shadow Stones. Not all the beasts had the crystal stone. But judging by how much he gained from killing three hundred beasts, Olivia thought he was fairly luckier than anyone she'd seen before. Still, they didn't even meet a single Shadow Fiend on their route.

Today they came across a red horse striped with white lines. Instead of attacking it, they continued to lurk behind it. Five hours later, the horse stopped before a pond and quenched its thirst by drinking it. Suddenly, something jumped out of the water with a splashing sound and landed nimbly on the back of the horse.

"Finally, a Juvenile Shadow Fiend!" Olivia whispered.

Damien looked carefully and saw the pale-looking youth wearing a dark cassock. "He looks exactly like any human."

"It's a She," Olivia corrected. "And she is a mature Shadow Fined with Gold Rank. My hands are itching for some action. Leave it to me."

By that time, a notification popped up in Damien's head and he learned that the Shadow Fiend had Energy Level 580! The horse was also a Gold Ranker with Energy Level 578. 

In response to her, Damien shrugged as he knew fighting them was of option as he didn't wish to use his Third Vertical God Eye's ocular technique unnecessarily. Plus, he was also looking forward to seeing her fight again.

As they were spying on them, the Shadow Fiend turned toward their hiding spot and wailed like a siren, bombarding a powerful sonic energy.

Waving her little palm, the sonic waves were neutralized. "She has found us. You must hide using your strange technique. Meanwhile, let me stretch my muscles." Yelling, Olivia flickered toward the pond.

As he suggested, Damien used his Ninja Movement Technique and his presence vanished into thin air. Then he chose to stand on a horizontal thick branch of a nearby tree. Contrary to Olivia's story regarding the perilous accident around trees and shrubs, for some reason, not a single one of them passed by reacting to them. Damien believed this had something to do with the Satanic Apple Tree. What made him even more surprised was the safe feeling he got when he was near them. Accidents happen all the time and here he belonged among the group of the lowest food chain. So in order to watch a showdown, he chose the tree.
