Chapter 21: My first Demon

I never thought that the manual was used for summoning demons. What was this doing in the family's library?

Is there a demon worshipper in the family?

This would be bad, if that was true and who was it?

Anyway, I should first find a solution for the situation in front of me, before thinking about the idiot who placed the book in the library.

Now how to stop the demon from causing wreakage here?

I have a lot of items that can help me escape from him, but the demon once released from the bindings, would start killings. Once that happens, the local powers would be alerted about ist presence. They would mobilize their armies to take care of the demon.

Once that was over, they would surely investigate how a demon appeared here and they would find the ritual site and no matter what precautions I take, they would surely find a link to me one way or another. So, it is best to eradicate the demon here and now or make it go back to where it came from.

The question is how?

There was no mentioning of reverse summoning the creature. It was only mentioned that as long as the summoned creature doesn't leave the ritual circles for an hour, they would be returned back to where they were before.

With how things were going, there is no way that the demonwould stay still in the ritual circle for that long. It would escape the bindings in a few minutes. With no force returning the demon, the only way was to kill the demon.

Even amed wth the Eldritch Staff, I am no where powerful enough even to crush his hand, much less his life. Wait, it is not wearing any armor. It means I have a chance to send it to the underworld.

Demons were considered more powerful than humans both physically and magically, but nature always makes sure to have balance in the ecosystem. Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com

They all have a weak point in their chest. It's called Demon Crystal, which is similar to monster core but it would outside their body visisble unlike monster core which was hidden inside. This makes it their vulnerable spot.

Once I used the skill, a clone of me appeared. I gave him some attributes and Shadow Bolt, along with my Eldritch Staff to make sure that the demon would be distracted by it. Once it was done, I sent it to do so.

The clone cast the skill on the demon, but the demon which was looking out for enemies, saw it a mile away coming his way. It easily dodged the attack, and the attack touched his body but not the crystal, where it was aimed.

"Hahaha", the demon started to laugh, "You are the one who summoned me. Looking at this ritual, you should have found one of those books and use it without knowing what it would but I see that you are smart to reprogram the ritual to restrict the summoned creature".

"It's a pity though. WIth your strength, you could do nothing but die" the demon shouted as he doubled his eforts to brek the bindings.

With the demon became busy trying to break the invisible chains that binded him, gave me my chance.

[Shadow Bolt]

I used the skill before the demon could break away, or before it could see that the one it saw was a clone.

Pfft!

Aaaahhhh!!!

Whether it was ignorance or arrogance, the demon lowered its guard and gave me a perfect chance to hit the crystal and end the demon.

It was simply perfect. I killed the demon, wait, why am I feeling drowsy all of a sudden.

Thud!
