Shots had been fired. With a thought, Shiro was surveying the scene from above. Standing on top of a nearby skyscraper, he observed the crime scene through the scope of a high-powered sniper rifle. It was clear that some sort of combat had taken place moments before, as the place was littered with corpses. Furthermore, a rather demonic figure could be seen standing in the centre of a series of arcane runes, most of which had been drawn with blood. Clearly a case of a demonic summoning gone wrong - a hypothesis further supported by the presence of cultists among the corpses. The others were bystanders, sacrifices, or perhaps even allies. It was regardless. Most demons were nothing more than mindless killing machines, and those with intelligence put their minds to work only on even crueller ways to kill. This being was clearly the perpetrator of a murder, if nothing else. As such, it was only fair that his act would be met with an equal and opposite reaction, of which Shiro was planning to be the cause.

A bullet 20mm in diameter, an extended titanium cases with a reinforced tungsten tip. An explosive core would fire the tip forward upon impact, an armour-piercing round capable of disabling even heavily armoured tanks. The rifle was a 2-meter beauty called Fullbringer, equipped with a series of rail accelerators to fire a projectile at Mach 3. The energy consumed was massive, but Shiro had a charging station in Africa, and the ability to exchange power sources in an instant. Few guns could match the sheer force behind this single rifle, the product of highly advanced military technology.

The round would hit Abbadon long before the half-demon would be able to observe it. Of course, it's effectiveness would be questionable. Shiro would have targeted the vitals, but what was necessary to a demonic being? The head was a fairly good guess, but if it failed Shiro fully expected to place a number of rounds in the legs and arms. Occasionally a specialized weapon would be necessary to slay such a being, such as a divine symbol or weapon. But such things could be acquired. The most important thing would be to contain the threat before it spread, and prevent it from leaving this world.
