CH.502 Making Demon Summoning Better
Now that I have access to the demon summoning books, and the bonus reward for the mission, I can actually look into demon summoning.
And it was … interesting.
Let’s start with the magic circle used for demon summoning. It is nearly the sa as the one for regular summoning, but it changes enough to where it targets a completely different sub-world.
So I could probably alter it so that it only summons spirits as well, but I’ll at least ask them first if that is a good idea.
From there, the demon summoning circle is basically the sa as the regular summoning circle. Put mana into it, and you get yourself a demon. Simple, right?
… Sadly, a bit too simple.
See, the normal summoning circle has this defense layer, which prevents the summoned monster from attacking you. That is why random summoning is even remotely viable, and you don’t imdiately get chomped by what you summoned.
But it doesn’t work on demons. Not fully, anyway. Because the protection it makes is 100% mana based, and demons use a mana and miasma mix.
I don’t know what pure demons use, but Cambions use a 50/50 mix. My Archfiend monsters use a higher miasma content mix, about 75/25. And the very strongest Fiends I have, like Darkness Neosphere, use a 90/10 mix of miasma and mana.

Oh, and I know I spoke about this when I first began to think about improving demon summoning, but Pan is not in any way in charge of demon summoning, so I can’t ask for her help.
But yeah. Nothing left to it, other than to try.
I wasn’t on HoBase, because again, I didn’t want to take the chance, so I flew so ways away. I had Alice and Lua nearby, so they could co to help, if I needed it.
I then used so Earth Spirit Magic to carve the magic circle into the ground. It was the easiest way of doing it, and I wouldn’t have to draw it with a stick or sothing.
I then turned on Mana Vision, as I began to fill the circle with mana. Mana Vision was important, because with it, I could sowhat see miasma, so I could confirm that the circle was pulling miasma from the air, as designed.
After the circle was completely filled, it didn’t take long for a demonic figure to appear in it.
This one didn’t look nearly as aggressive as the last one. The last one looked like a war demon, or so other combat focused demon, but this ti I got a lady demon, who I’m pretty sure is a succubus of so kind.
She had long black hair, a pair of black wings, smooth and fair skin, and a pair of short horns. Her outfit was on the cuter side, not on the sexier side, but what do I know.
“... human.” She said quietly. “What do you desire?”
She then opened her eyes and looked at and her face lost the confidence it held.
“N-No! You aren’t a human! They lied!” She scread. She then noticed the two monsters I summoned just in case, and began to outright panic. “Let back! I don’t want to be here! HELP!”
… Yeah. What should I do? Calm her down? She is still a demon, even if she is so inexperienced succubus. Also, who they? Did so stronger demons force her to respond to my call, because they didn’t want to? Maybe the demons know I annihilated a demon a little over a week ago, and now don’t want to respond to my call.
I approached the summoning circle a bit, but didn’t enter inside. She is a succubus, so she might have so sort of mind control skill, and I don’t have a set card ready to counter sothing like that.
“Excuse , but would you talk to for a bit?” I asked the panicked succubus.
The succubus didn’t respond to , and just kept crying out to no one. She was just repeating ‘Let back’ over and over again, but her voice was getting quieter and quieter.
“I’m not going to hurt you.” I told her, keeping my voice calm. I really hope I don’t have to hurt her. She really just seems like a kid.
I kept trying to verbally calm her down, but it wasn’t working, so I called Alice and Lua over from where they were, since everything was relatively safe. I just wanted them there just in case the succubus tries to mind control . I made sure both of them had a Remove Brainwashing ready to be activated.

I then walked into the summoning circle.
I moved intentionally slowly, but the succubus didn’t even react to . I think she was in a full on panic attack.
I gently lowered my hand onto her shoulder, and I felt her barely breathing. She was taking quick shallow breaths. She must have panicked to the point where she couldn't even breathe.
I then got even closer to her, and began to whisper into her ear, trying to help her get her breathing under control, so I could hopefully get sothing out of this.
Eventually the succubus recovered, but she was still pale, and just not looking that good.
“... I can send you back, if you really want to. But would you talk with for a bit first?” I told her.
“... I can’t go back.” She said. “If I get nothing, I can’t…can’t... can’t…” She muttered out as a response.
“... alright.” Now I really hope I’m right about this.
I activated the Cursed Power Stone that was in one of my duel disks Spell/Trap zones, and caught the stone that appeared.
“Would this do?” I asked her, and offered her the miasma stone.
She looked at the stone I was holding, then she turned to face , and I think she finally realized just how close to her I was, because it almost looked like she wanted to run away, but she got so courage, and looked back at the stone.
“... Yes. … I … for that stone … I will be in your service.” She said.
“For how long?” I asked. Service was a good thing when it ca to summoning contracts. It ans I can summon her for anything I want, and she won’t complain.
So summonable monsters have more specific requirents for their summoning contracts, like they only want to be summoned for combat reasons.
Others have conditions like every other summoning you need to feed them, or so on. There are as many conditions and clauses as there are summoners and summoning contracts, but service is generally the best, because of basically no limits.
“... For … forever.” The succubus answered. “... or at least … as long as you live.” She added. She must have then seen the look on my face, which was that of surprise, not that of disappointnt, because she quickly added. “I-If that isn’t enough… I’ll do your children's lives as well. And grandchildren!”
“... No. That won’t be necessary.” I told her. “Just for my life is more than enough. And before you make promises like that, the supre dragon herself told that I’ll probably live at least 300 years, so it will be a long life.”
I once again saw the color drain from her face. I don’t know if it was the reveal of my expected lifespan, or that I told her that I have a connection with the supre dragon.
“And I won’t be expecting you to do all of that for just one of those stones. I’ll give you one every ti I summon you. Is that alright with you?” I asked.
The succubus’ eyes went wide as I told her that. I don’t think she expected anything of this level.
“... I … I can’t accept that. … it's too much.”
“Is it?” I simply asked. “It really isn’t a problem for .”
“... too much.” She repeated. “Every other ti. … no. Every third ti. … please.”
“Alright. Since you demand so.” I gave in. I can just give her the stones anyway, and it isn’t like it really matters to . “Could you give your na, so I can call for you? Or do you need to na you?”
“... I … I have a na. But I don’t like it. Could you give a new one?” She requested.
“Alright.” I don’t really have any good ideas, but I also don’t want to give her a bad na, so I’ll just give her a simple na, that will hopefully be good. “Then your na is Hope.”
“... Hope. … Thank you. … Master. … I will answer. When you call.” She said, and her body began to fade. “... what is … your na?” She asked, when she was already fully see through.
“Brian.” I answered her. “I’ll call on you soon.” I promised.
