The lanyo's growling can be heard emanating from the clearing as the new being finally steps forward and smiles maliciously, its hips sauntering forward before it stops several feet from the beast. It stands barely over five feet tall, its skin a pale blue as a chitinous armor covers its hands, hips, feet, and chest. Long black hair rests down one side of its skull as short curly white hair coats the opposite side. A daunting mask covers the beings head, wrapping from the back of its neck to hide all its facial features except for its eyes, ears, and mouth. on one side of its body is a small breast covered in its chitin armor as well as slim legs while the other has densely packed muscle and a larger pectoral chest.
The new being looks the lanyo up and down as its mouth turns into a cocky smirk before a small tail pops out from behind it as it nods its head.
"Should be a nice warm up. Been awhile since anyone's summoned me but a dungeon pacted minion is an improvement over some lust maddened wizard or sadistic magi. Now what exactly are you, I'm not sensing any real magic, shadows and mud if I'm right which of course I am. Your big and sturdy but I can cut you down. Yup I'll present you beaten and weak to the dungeon so that it won't seal me and from there I can relax and gain more juice. You ready?" The being says in its mix of a gentle woman's voice and a deep mans voice.
"Innsssolent!!! I am a massster of thisss land! My kind ruuule assss the mossst powerful, we huunt all in ouur homesss and reign sssuppreeemee! You will beeee devoured!!!" Screeches the lanyo as it hurls itself towards the small being. The being chuckles under its breath as it winds back its well defined hand and lets off a wild haymaker. Upon impact the blow sends the lanyo flying backwards several meters before it pulls itself up and stares at its opponent in caution before it pulls the shadows around itself and melds into the surroundings.
"Hah! Reign supreme my sweet supple ass! As soon as one that can challenge you appears you hide in the darkness and become a coward. Now I remember your race, Lanyo the cowardly hunters. Powerful but only because you refuse to let others of your kind into your territory and have a possibility of breaking your ego. Built to hunt but preferring to be sadistic and weak instead of pursuing true strength. Your kind should have never been created and your god should be disappointed beast but your fighting me now and sadly I'm far out of your league." Taunts the creature as the hand on its feminine side glows quickly before a red glowing orb shoots out and smashes into the clearing, the lanyo's form becoming visible shortly afterward as a look of shock and fear show on its horrific face.
Before the lanyo can react further the creature flashes from where its standing to behind the massive beasts shoulders, its slender hand made into a finger gun as the muscular hand holds a strange looking shield covered in chitin and spikes. As it lowers its thumb a stream of black and pink flames flows from its fingertip and begins coating the lanyo's ratty hair and scales, the fire seeming to stick to the creature as it begins screaming in pain and rage. Chuckling sadistically the creature flashes again and appears in front of the flailing lanyo before using the shield as a club and slamming it into the creatures chest with a sickening crunch before slowly circling the lanyo's slowing form.
"Bah barely even used 5% of my power but it seems I'm slowly being locked to a weaker state due to my summoner. No matter that fire on your body is a specialty of my kind that both burns and heals until the caster cancels it. Now you have two choices, one you willingly follow me like a good little pet and I'll allow it to heal you. You follow what I say and I won't cause you suffering beyond any you've ever imagined in your insignificant time on this world. Or two you continue to defy me and I let this fire burn you within a centimeter of your life, I allow it to begin burning your very soul, and I don't let it stop until there's nothing left of your mind but a tortured, pain filled vessel for me to stuff a new being into so I have a servant. Make your choice beast." The creature says as it stands above the now rasping form of the formidable lanyo, its body constantly on fire as the burnt pieces of flesh keep flashing between healing into new skin and scale and returning quickly into burnt meat. The creatures voice oozes with superiority as the lanyo struggles onto its feet before bowing its head towards the creature, its eyes filled with both hatred and fear before the flames begin restoring its body.
"Good boy! I knew you were smarter than you looked! Now follow along beast, I wish to take in this lovely scenery before we meet with the master of my master." the creature says brightly as it slowly wanders in the direction of its summoner, a sense telling it where its master is located as the massive lanyo quietly walks behind it, its head held down as its body shakes in fear while following the oppressive power that defeated it.

'Tilly what in the holy hell is that thing and how did it do all of that shit!?!" I whisper in fear as Tilly's eyes are wide in shock and her skin is even paler than usual.
"Well....I don't know honestly other than from what the circle said before it was summoned. Its a type of abyss demon, one of the most powerful and ancient of demonkind. From what I know about demons apparently abyss demons are each unique and find the mortal world interesting, much like a new toy or a book. When summoned they tend to only obey commands if they're in their best interest or a threat to the summoner since if the summoner dies they return back to their realm. Also unlike other demons who are extremly violent, scheming, and overall a menace to the world abyss demons follow a sort of honor code where they seem to just want to escape from their realm for as long as possible. This one seems to be....intelligent is an understatement honestly but it seems to want to work with us for now so we should wait and see." Tilly says as she takes several deep breathes before the color comes back to her. We both continue to watch the screen as the injured duo of Slax and Tyr rush as fast as the blood bathers legs can carry them back to me while the demon leisurely follows their path with the lanyo stumbling behind it.
