I slash two little demons with my sword causing them to let out a loud Skree! and they disappear but in their place new demons replace them. I was getting out of breath due to all fighting I was doing and Salomon wasn’t helping with his screaming in the background.
“Eeek! Their numbers are growing! They’re stacking the odds against us, Master! This is terrible! Worse, it’s horrible! We’d better run for it! If not, we must reduce their numbers, or we’ll be surrounded!” I dodge the little demons hands attempt at getting my phone and flinch in pain when one of them hit me.
I was getting worn out and I felt really overwhelmed with how much demons were attacking me. But I forced myself to hold on through this even if it felt like my body was heavy. “Don’t worry! I’ll take care of this! Just quit worrying already!”
“D-Don’t be a dummy, Master! No life. . . or, rather. . . No phone, no hope! Th-There must be another way! We can’t attack the Summoner directly, so. . .” Salomon put a hand under his chin with his eyes closed as he mumbled to himself. “Short of actually killing these guys. . . If only there was a way to force them to retreat, or disable them. . .”
‘There has to be some way to handle this situation. . . They are only attacking because of their Summoner. If I could just. . . Wait!’ My eyes widen when a thought came into my head and I quickly look at Salomon who was still deep in thought. “Hey Lil’ Salomon! Is it possible to bring these guys over to our side?”
Salomon came out of his thoughts and look at me like I said something dumb. “Like with the Red Oni at the park? Don’t be daft! These familiars are already bound by a pact, meaning they already serve a Summoner. The Red Oni, on the other hand, didn’t belong to a Summoner yet. Without a Summoner’s power as a source, it was forced to draw from the land to sustain itself. Thus, as a Summoner, you were able to overwrite the jurisdiction of that so-called pact. . .”
Salomon stop talking as if something just dawned on him and had a shocked expression on his face. “Oh? That does give me an idea. . . If you could overwrite jurisdiction for one kind of pact. . .” Salomon started to mumble to himself quickly as his thoughts went on overdrive and I grew annoyed at how he was forgetting how dire this situation was for me.
“Earth to Lil’ Salomon!” Salomon came out of his thoughts and just wave his hand with a serious expression. “Do you mind? I’m thinking! Master, please buy some time, okay?” Salomon then look at my sword in my hand with a confused look in his eyes. “Hey, Master. . .? Is it just me, or is your Sword glowing more brightly all of a sudden?”
I looked down at my sword that was glowing and for some reason I felt a power rush through me. I move myself into an offense position getting ready to attack any demon that tries to attack me. “Okay, I will buy you time Lil’ Salomon. Don’t know how much time but I won’t let anything happen.”
“Wh-What are you planning to do, Master?!” Ignoring Salomon concerned voice I ran straight at the demons with a determined look in my eyes and grip my sword tightly in my two hands.
