Skulduggery had been able to move through the combatants in the cavern with relative ease, but Anton had gotten caught by flames, forced to go around the skirmishes breaking out. He came up on them, still wearing one Gilgamesh gauntlet and both greaves, only in time to hear Stark panic and see Dante rise, and the bullet in Dante's skull, and sighed.

"Skulduggery, I am beginning to think possession has rendered you impotent. That's not how you kill Dante. You need to hit him in the heart."

He lifted Daisy, holding her at the waist, double-checked the shells weren't his maximum damage and fired at Dante's chest at enough of a distance that he wouldn't actually explode the half-demon's chest. Well, not too much anyway, given it was Daisy he was using.
