However, the cultist soon realized that his ritual had not gone as planned. Despite his best efforts, he had not gathered enough sacrifices to fully summon the demon he had called forth. As a result, the demon was only partially manifested, and it was not nearly as powerful as the cultist had hoped.

Frustrated but determined, the cultist entered into negotiations with the demon. The demon informed the cultist that he needed 6666 sacrifices in order for the demon to be fully summoned and do the cultist's bidding.

The cultist was shocked by the number, but he was not about to give up on his plan. He asked the demon what he could do in the meantime, and the demon replied by summoning a lesser demon in the shape of an eye.

The eye demon would observe the cultist and report back to the main demon. It would watch as the cultist gathered more sacrifices and prepared for the final ritual. The cultist agreed to the arrangement, and the eye demon disappeared, leaving the cultist alone in his lair.

For a moment, the cultist was filled with a sense of unease. He had summoned a demon, and he had no idea what its true intentions were. But he quickly pushed these thoughts aside. He was determined to carry out his plan, no matter what.

This Chapter ends mysteriously, with the cultist lost in thought, contemplating his next move. The eye demon was watching him, waiting for the cultist to make his next move. And the war raged on outside, its sounds echoing through the Faraway Forest.
