Ekon admitted his opinion on the thought of a fight between Xalroz and the troll chief. Witnessing the fight that took place in the village between him and Zenma, daughter of the chief.
The troll believes that if the brother Sollix wasn't there among the others, she would have a deathly end at this elf's hands.
Xalroz laughs when hearing that out of the blue troll's mouth."How honest you are Ekon, good to know, now I would like it if you leave me alone and I need time to myself you know."
"I don't think that would be…."
"I said leave. Did I not, or would you like to have a taste of what went on today." Xalroz cuts him off to say this in a harsh threatening tone.
Ekon didn't like the way Xalroz was looking at him since it was causing him to feel some chills that forced the troll to take leave.
When the creature was gone from sight, Xalroz started to cough uncontrollably using a hand to cover his mouth.
Then that same hand comes to get covered by the warm liquid of blood getting on it.
He removed the hand to look at it, not reacting in any way like someone to be worried over something like this.
"Ha, she sure did put up a nice fight. If I couldn't pull through it, I would not be able to still be breathing at this moment." Xalroz thought, looking up at the air as the forest trees block out the light of the sun.
he then gets up to be on one knee to the ground."Well, this is the perfect time to ever do the summoning. I'm pretty sure it is going to start with imps."
Imps are small devilish creatures that aren't that much power in the demon rankings in their world. They are annoying little ones with wings that like to mostly play games on others for entertainment, having quite the low intelligence compared to others.
Yet they do have their uses, even lacking both strength and intelligence."First, it is going to require my blood to create the symbolic circle to do the summoning."
Xalroz didn't hold back on what needed to be done as he had his right-hand nails dig deep and hard into the left arm. Ignoring the pain ensures that a lot of blood is being freed through the wounds.
After nearly a minute, he was done and worked to draw the circle on the ground, fitting the size to be for the little demon. When finished, Xalroz speaks the words to activate summoning, taking no longer for it to begin shining a flash for a bit until into time there lies in the circle the same creature.
At first, the little imp looked shocked and surprised, looking around it, surrounding it, which was different from its domain. Xalroz takes a look at the imp, seeing the thing to be completely red skin with those yellow eyes, sharp teeth, and long tail.
Of course, this thing is not that pretty looking as Xalroz gets reminded when the two start to make eye contact with each other.
"Listen well little imp, I'm the one to have brought you to this realm which places me as your master does your little brain allows you to get that," Xalroz asked, watching as this imp turned its head confused as not one word has gone into its ear.
Then see it hiss at him and seek to fly away as the wings spread out, flapping to leave the imp up into the air. There wasn't a successful lift-up.
As if chains were keeping the creature in place, the imp couldn't get up to escape it. Xalroz sighs when this isn't the time for him to deal with such an annoying creature.
If an imp didn't have much use for certain roles, Xalroz may have had their species erased, and they breed at overwhelming numbers, so that would also be impossible for now.
"Cut the shit imp." He said while reaching and grabbing the small thing in one hand.
Making sure that it gets a nice tight pressure of itself getting lightly crushed to near death." Pay attention, you are my little minion, and you're going to obey me, or I can just kill you now and find me another that can take the job."
The imp quickly nodes its hand in a yes manner towards the person that is treating its life.
"Good, I will let you go now, and I want you to be a good imp sitting on my shoulder. Can you do that," Xalroz says, letting go slowly since the imp is not in its circle and can try again to get away.
Instead, it didn't play that way as the small thing listened to going over to Xalroz's left shoulder.
"Good boy now, still there after I bring another of your kind to this world."

[The Great Hall]
"I doubt it's going to be a fair price. You know how sellswords are. They don't ask out of kindness. These people will request such a high price. The chief question is whether the man would accept or deny it." Lorthr says to answer his friend's question.
"Ah yes, you are right about that, Lorthr. I can imagine the number to be high," Paul said, watching the group still talking.
"How does one become a sellsword?" Vigi asked the two men as they were talking.
"Ha, it's nothing that requires anything at all. Just get the skull at what you're good at and to anyone who wants to pay for it." Paul gives the young man a quick explanation that no one can have a hard time understanding.
At the time, Vigi started to think about it since such a thing seemed like an easy lifestyle of a money-earning path to take.
Being the son of a blacksmith, he doesn't have the desire to follow in his father's footsteps nor to stay in this settlement for life.
Vigi would like to explore while doing a dangerous job as a hired sellsword for others.
"Planning to become a mercenary boy, don't know if your father is going to be happy about it. Think he would want his son to be a blacksmith like him." Paul said, having fun for the moment.
"What!?, I mean… it seems like not so much of a bad thing to do, and there are a lot out there, I would like to see along with earning money that way." Vigi said.
"Oh, don't get the wrong idea here boy the life mercenary isn't a path to walk carefully on. Whatever job you take is always going to be a threat to your life just to know if you can handle it and survive it." Lorthr says this to be a bit of advice.
Just before Vigi can talk back, the group of those sellswords have ended their discussion, and the human name Rey steps forward facing the chief.
"Well, we would like the reward of payment to be 1000 gold coins."
