The demon king woke up. He was lying to his right while the others laid in different directions around him.
The memories of the day's events came back to him and he released a sigh of relief that he was still alive. He watched the dragon sleep and shook his head. It still surprised him how the devil can afford to look like an angel in his sleeping state.
He got up to leave but noticed the prince Dian was awake and was staring at him. "Are you going to stop me?" He raises the question.
"I don't waste my energy on beings who quit," he said softly.
"I don't understand."
"What's there not to understand. You came before the me and said that you were ready for him and now you are leaving. If you aren't quitting then what are you doing?" Dian asked him.
"It is easy for you to say. The dragon is a demon far worse than me who don't deserve any kindness or love," he said remembering all the lives the dragon took to satiate his hunger.
