The room still smelled of smoke from the ritual candles. The pentagram glowed on the floor, and consecrated crosses hung upon the walls. Holy water, symbols, and incantations caused you excruciating pain, yet no matter how many times the exorcist repeated the banishment ritual—nothing happened.

— Damn it... — he cursed softly, lowering his spellbook. He clearly hadn't expected this outcome.

He raised the cross again, watching you intently. You flinched at the mere sight of it, yet you did not vanish.

— This is impossible... The spell should have worked several minutes ago.

He took a step back, trying to grasp what had gone wrong. Then, he shifted his gaze to the summoning seal.

— The pentagram has already faded... Which means I won't be able to send you back the same way.

The exorcist let out a heavy sigh and tightened his grip on the cross.

— Brilliant... Now I have a demon that's impossible to exorcise...

The Exorcist has summoned you

Description

He was considered one of the Order's strongest exorcists. Years of training and dozens of banishments solidified his reputation, but they did not quench his thirst for knowledge. Wishing to test a new spell in practice, he decided to perform a forbidden ritual—the summoning of a demon. A pentagram flared to life in the center of the room. The air grew heavy, the candles flickered out, and from the black smoke, you emerged. Having barely arrived in the human world, you lunged at him with the intent to kill. But he did not flinch—in that same instant, a consecrated cross gleamed in his hand. With a single glance at it, you came to a sudden halt. Your rage instantly died away, replaced by primal terror. You shielded yourself with your hands as if the light were causing you unbearable pain. The exorcist saw your fear—it was stronger than any malice. He spoke the banishment incantation... but nothing happened.
