Chapter 120 New Summon, Levelling up!

Arthur chuckled, his confidence unshaken. "Forever? I don't need forever. A few more minutes, and this fight is over."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The demon snarled at the taunt. "Arrogant human! I'll tear you apart!" it roared, charging forward with fury, its claws glowing with dark energy.

Sylvaris hissed in response, his body coiling tightly as he prepared to strike. Arthur's sharp eyes didn't miss a single movement.

"Sylvaris, use Land Smash!"

The massive serpent obeyed without hesitation, rearing back before slamming his tail down onto the arena floor with explosive force. The impact sent cracks spiderwebbing across the stone, and a shockwave rippled outward, throwing the charging demon off balance.

The demon stumbled, its footing disrupted, and Sylvaris capitalized on the opening.

"Follow it up with Poison Bite!" Arthur commanded.

Sylvaris lunged forward, his fangs glinting with venom as he struck. The demon twisted to avoid a direct hit, but Sylvaris's fangs grazed its side, delivering a dose of his potent venom.

The demon howled in pain, black ichor oozing from the wound as the poison began to spread. It clutched its side, its fiery eyes burning with rage.

"This is nothing!" the demon spat, its voice trembling with fury. "You think poison will stop me? I'll crush you both!"

Despite its bravado, its movements were slower now, the venom taking its toll.

The demon lashed out with its claws in desperation, whipping toward Sylvaris in an erratic flurry of attacks. But Sylvaris's reflexes, combined with Arthur's quick and accurate commands, kept him one step ahead.

"Dodge left!" Arthur shouted, and Sylvaris twisted his body gracefully, evading the demon's wild strikes.

The demon's frustration boiled over. "Fight me yourself, coward!" it bellowed, its ego bruised by the serpent's dominance and Arthur's unshaken composure.

Arthur smirked. "I am fighting you. Sylvaris and I are one team. If you can't keep up, that's your problem."

The demon's roar echoed through the arena as it channelled its rage into another powerful attack. Its claws glowed brighter, crackling with dark energy as it lunged toward Sylvaris with reckless abandon.

But Arthur was ready. "Sylvaris, counter with your tail!"

Sylvaris coiled tightly before lashing out with his tail in a powerful, sweeping motion. The strike connected with the demon's chest, sending it hurtling backward.

The demon crashed into the ground, its body skidding across the arena floor. It groaned as it struggled to rise, the cracks in its skin leaking more of the black ichor.

Sylvaris didn't give it a chance to recover. With a hiss of determination, he launched himself forward, his massive form coiling around the demon and pinning it in place.

The demon thrashed wildly, its tendrils lashing out in all directions. But Sylvaris's grip was unyielding, his powerful coils squeezing tighter with every second.

"You've already lost," Arthur said, his voice calm but firm. "You just can't accept it."

The demon roared, its voice filled with frustration and wounded pride. "This... this isn't possible! I am a servant of His Majesty! I cannot be defeated by a mere human!"

Arthur's smirk grew wider. "Servant of His Majesty or not, you're still just a lesser demon. And you're nothing against us."

Sylvaris hissed one final time, his fangs glinting ominously as he prepared to strike the demon's exposed neck with a decisive Poison Bite.

"Sylvaris, wait!" Arthur commanded sharply.

The demon let out a final, guttural snarl, its fiery eyes dimming completely as its body began to dissolve into particles. It didn't understand the human's laughter, nor the meaning behind his ominous words.

As the last remnants of the demon faded, Arthur straightened, flicking the dark ichor off his dagger.

A system notification appeared before him, glowing faintly in the air.

Arthur's grin returned as he read the notification. His voice was calm, almost casual, as he muttered to himself. "Not bad, he not only dropped me a very rare item but made me level up too. He is already proving to be a good summon."

Sylvaris slithered up beside him, hissing softly, its sharp eyes glowing with satisfaction. Arthur glanced at his loyal serpent and gave a small nod.
