Timothy successfully summoned a Kelketuk, which was a demonic creature without a doubt. Physically, it looked a lot like a Basilisk Dragon, even though the two species were unrelated to one another. It has a lot of legs, molten, black scales to protect it, and it had an arsenal of powers to its command, so surely summoning it was a worthy investment, even if it was frowned upon by the majority of society!
Timothy was as curious as ever, that goes without saying, so he was eager to experiment with this demonic dragon. He wanted to figure out how to best use such a beast in any upcoming battle!
“Let’s see what you can do, demon. I only have you here for a day, and I'm gonna make it count!” He spoke to it, “Show me your trademark power, without accidentally killing me during your presentation, of course.”
The Kelketuk understood, and it just grunted in cooperation, as it could not answer verbally. A blink later, it disappeared into the sand, and rapidly moved around below the sand, making way for its fat body using its large, dependable front claws! This was interesting, but it hardly looked like a dangerous, or specifically useful trick, so Timothy wasn't exactly impressed by it.
“Come on, I summoned you from the depths of hell, and your trademark power is you, behaving like an overgrown mole?” He scolded.
The Kelketuk did not hear him, largely because it wasn't within hearing range. Just then, he noticed that the ground stopped rumbling, and that he had lost track of the beast! This was perplexing, and he even guessed that the beast fled, but then suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the beast, floating across the sky, above the sea, and heading towards him! He spotted it with his fairly decent, upgraded eyesight.
This scene here was even more confusing, so he spoke to himself. “What…? This bastard doesn't have any wings, how is it flying around?”
Seconds later, the Kelketuk landed on the beach, and left a huge, fifteen meter crater around its landing site! The latter wasn't as surprising, because this was a huge and heavy, ten-meter long beast, after all.
The beast then tossed a four-meter, Yellow-fin Tuna Fish across the sand, and in front of Timothy's feet. This was even more surprising, because tuna fish of this size were commonly seen at least four kilometers away from the sea shores, out in the open waters! This was no shallow-water fish, and Timothy was aware of this.
“Hot damn!” He exclaimed, “I apologize for calling you a mole, you're a very powerful mole at the very least! Hmm, super fast, great digger, strong legs, great hunter, and a fat body to go with it all… you are truly badass!”
Timothy was very impressed now, he had plenty of reasons to be, and he was curious to see what else this demon could do. Likewise, after praising the demon, he asked it to perform any other powers that it had, or in other words, he asked it to portray its second, most noteworthy ability, and the monster acted accordingly!
It stomped its legs on the ground, until minor bits of fire erupted around it. This fire then expanded to something greater, and formed into a tornado-like inferno, which sucked in everything in its close vicinity! This tornado didn't harm Timothy, but he guessed that if the Kelketuk wanted to, then he would've been sucked into the towering, fifteen meter tall inferno in a blink of an eye!

This tornado was the second, most important thing that the Kelketuk was capable of performing, and it was noteworthy! Timothy was curious to explore the rest of its abilities later on, because after witnessing a fiery tornado, he felt like he needed a short break from witnessing such abnormal abilities!
Furthermore, he wanted to test out what other creature he could summon using his new, Master's Will ability. He knew that he could summon other monsters, he felt it in his gut that he could, and the names of the creatures even reverberated in his head, so he wasted no time summoning an entirely different species, who also came from the depths of hell!
As a few strands of fire circled around his fingers, signifying the use of his Master's Will ability, he simply whispered another name, thus, summoning another monster. He whispered the name, ‘Gutaxun’!
[That's not a good idea…] The system tried to warm him, but it was too late. [-4,500 dark mana points.]
In a split second, a massive serpentine beast appeared out of thin air! The beast was well over thirty meters long, six meters wide, and had scales as dark as the night sky! The color between these two beasts was very similar, and their composure was the same too, however, despite their shared similarities, the two beasts did not get along, and instantly started fighting one another!
“Hey, quit that!” Timothy yelled out, but they took his word as a grain of salt.
The serpent spat out this sort of molten, venom-encoated liquid against the dragon, thus initiating conflict! The dragon had a thousand ways to fight back, but chose a rather simple attack method, the method being a forward charge, and a double-pawed smack against the serpent’s head!
Considering their protective scales, neither of these beasts were hurt within the exchange, not severely at least, and after exchanging a few more attacks, the beasts separated, and moved in opposite directions! The Kelketuk leaped towards the sky, the Gutaxun slithered across the sea, and it didn’t look like either of them were coming back! Timothy lost control of them both.
“What the fuck just happened?!” He yelled out.
[Demonic beasts are very territorial, and they’re especially jumpy in lands that they consider foreign. You should’ve asked me about them before summoning the second monster, on the count that this is your first time trying out the Master’s Call ability. Summoning demons is dangerous work, and I assumed that it would have crossed your mind that it was dangerous, but I was mistaken.] The system spoke, casually.
“I’ll give you that, it was a stupid move.” He admitted, “How do I toss them back in hell, though? I can’t have Gutaxun blowing through the reef right now.”
[You will have to scare them straight, but it will cost you.] She introduced, [Despite the irony, demons are spiritual creatures, and they’re especially sensitive to mana. If you pour pure, blue mana on the spots where you’ve summoned them, they’ll get spooked, and jump back in their own dimension themselves - The dark mana that you used to summon them, is the only thing keeping them here.]
The instructions were simple enough, and Timothy followed them accordingly. With little effort, he poured a few thousand points of blue mana across the sand, and as the mana dissipated into nothingness, a cloud of dark mana steamed out of the sand, and vaporized in the air afterwards! The latter was a solid sign that he banished his summoned monsters back to hell, and furthermore, even his conscience felt lighter after this procedure! He spared the world of the violence that those couple of horrid demons could bring!
Overall, the Master’s Call ability seemed quite useful.
