The Empire of Reimia (3)

The precise form, the image of the summoned being – all these trivial details coalesced, tightening their grip within hundredths of a second, even at the moment the spell was cast. By intuition.

The red light of the magic circle was replaced by real, scorching flame; all other light sources in the room vanished completely, plunging the pair of hapless sorcerers into darkness. A strong wind blew, threatening not only to shatter the windows of the office but also to knock Marey and Shogo off their feet. The spell proved successful, perhaps even too much so – before their eyes, in the center of the circle, an illusory image of a creature appeared, bearing no resemblance to a human. Perhaps it could not materialize in the world of mortals and appeared before them in this form.
— Oh... Yes... Thousands of years of slumber have finally come to an end! — The demon burst into animalistic laughter, then turned its gaze to the mages who had summoned it. — Rejoice, mortals, for you are fortunate to have summoned one of the greatest ";;--#':", |\=$#@% ^%":||@@!!!, and as a reward for this, I will grant you unprecedented power! Accept it and...
Before Marey could agree or refuse the demon's tempting offer, Shogo preempted him and disrupted the summoning circle.
— What are you doing, mortal? — The demon asked, puzzled. — Didn't you summon me yourself?
— Yeah, but you're too ugly. — A moment later, the illusory image of the demon disappeared, and everything returned to its previous state. Shogo began to disgruntledly remove the traces of their presence in the office. — Ugh, I was hoping for some succubus with huge breasts, but it seems the experiment failed.
