The gunshots were quiet. Considering the environment, he had fitted a suppressor. Though it slightly reduced the bullets' effectiveness, concealment mattered more to him than power.
Using this thing in the country still required a bit of caution.
The bullet whistled through the air, and the dark figure lunging at him crashed heavily to the ground, its strength gone.
It was a monster covered head to toe in dark bluish-green scales. Perhaps "one" was a more fitting classifier for it. Its upper body retained the rough outline of a human, while its lower half was a snake tail. Unlike the slender reticulated python, it resembled an anaconda from the Amazon Rainforest, its body thick and powerful enough that one could see the terrifying strength contained within it.
Amon estimated that, including its tail, the enormous thing was around four to five meters long.
This Snake-form Dead Servant had undergone Dragon Transformation to a very high degree. Its entire skeleton had been specialized, comparable to the toughest alloy. Combined with its tenacious vitality, ordinary handgun fire was usually insufficient to deal it fatal wounds. But both of Amon's shots had struck its weakest points.
The two bullets passed precisely through its eye sockets, shattering its orange-yellow eyeballs. Their trajectories destabilized, and they spun and tumbled violently, instantly churning its brain into mush.
Even so, the monster had not stopped moving completely. It rolled and writhed painfully on the floor, though it no longer had the ability to fight back.
Reptiles had two nerve centers: besides the brain, there was also the spine, where nerves were densely concentrated.
Amon immediately fired four more shots. Two struck the spine, one hit the heart, and the last struck the right side of its chest... just in case its heart was positioned opposite to that
