"You arrogant human... I will bury you here alive," the demon mumbled, its voice dripping with malice as it harnessed the power flowing from the spatial slit.

I clicked my tongue, realizing that the battle was about to take a more challenging turn.

As the demon completed its absorption, a surge of power emanated from its form. The cavern seemed to tremble as Belthazor stood, rejuvenated and more menacing than before.
–SWOOSH!
I readied [Celestalith] in its bow form, determined to continue the assault. However, as I released an arrow towards the demon, I witnessed a distortion in the space around it.
