First, that he had a special high-rank artifact that clouded his presence from her senses, and the second being a special ability that he used to hide himself and that human girl.
If it was the first, then why had she sensed nothing—not even distortions? And if it was the second... then just what was he?
The possibility sent a slow, creeping unease through her.
This made her interested and cautious; such an ability was quite terrifying. If he could hide in her plain sight without her noticing him, then he could unleash a lethal attack on her at any time.
It was a rare feeling for her—uncertainty.
Sera was able to trace back and conclude this all just from seeing the little girl.
She looked at the girl with a hint of hatred towards her and the demons and clutched the talisman in her hand hard.
The tiny strip of paper pulsed with energy, its faint glow flickering like a dying ember, yet carrying the weight of something far more sinister.
From this distance, she could see the talisman vividly and the dense patterns etched on its smooth surface.
She knew what was coming.
She could only watch as the girl raised her hand slightly and threw the talisman onto the rocky ground.
Swish!
In the very instant, a large runic array engulfed the whole area. @@@@
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
A black, smoggy explosion erupted instantly, spreading in all directions. The battlefield trembled as the explosion swallowed everything in its path. The demons who came into contact were completely engulfed in the smoggy black walls.
The air grew thick with an unnatural weight, the inky smog expanding like a living creature. The moment it touched flesh, it clung and devoured, dragging panicked shrieks into the darkness.
Scratch!
She used her thumb's nail to cut her index finger slightly; a drop of dark blood formed at the tip and was attracted down to the earth.
Dip.
The blood drop bounced and splashed on the ground before her.
She whispered, her voice filled with a dark note and a depth that was not there before,
"By the coiling roots of the earth and the hissing winds of dusk, I summon thee, serpent of hidden paths. Emerge from the veil and serve thy master's will!"
The panicking demons who were closer and heard this summoning call froze.
BOOM!
RUMBLE!
RUMBLE!
A deafening BOOM followed by a rolling RUMBLE echoed across the sky.
Sounds of roaring thunder suddenly filled the sky above as dark clouds gathered in the vicinity above their heads.
The ground trembled faintly, and the air grew thick, carrying a scent of earth and musk. A foreboding presence slithered in the shadows, unseen but felt.
From the shadows, a faint shimmer of purple and black reflected the flickering torchlight.
A low, ominous hiss slithered into the silence, growing louder with each passing second. The sound of scales brushing against stone echoed, deliberate and unsettling, as if the creature wanted its presence known.
The tension in the air became suffocating.
From the coiling shadows emerged the serpent, its body sinuous and glistening like polished obsidian. It moved with an eerie grace, its every motion fluid and effortless, yet carrying the weight of undeniable lethality.
Its eyes burned like molten emerald, piercing and unblinking, as it fixed its gaze on its summoner. A forked tongue flickered out, tasting the charged air.
Sera's voice broke the tension. "You have answered, as you always do, faithful servant."
The serpent bowed its head ever so slightly, an acknowledgment of the bond between master and familiar that sent chills down the spine of onlooking demons nearby.
