Harming the Basilisk

The Astaroth Claw, a powerful artifact rumored to be one of the major items in the arsenal of demon lords, now adorned Leo's arm. It was a gift from the system upon his arrival in this fantastical world, a symbol of his status as a demon lord candidate. 

The claw's dark and malevolent design seemed to resonate with the very essence of darkness itself, and it was said to be an item that only one with the potential to become a demon lord could wield.

Hisss.

As the basilisk, driven by its predatory instincts, ignored Hellion for a moment, its golden eyes locked onto Leo and the ominous gauntlet that now adorned his arm. The serpent sensed a new and worthy foe, someone who possessed a power that transcended the ordinary.

Bang.
