The lizard man's body gradually turned to dust.
Aku had won.
"It was easier than expected," Aku commented as he made his weapon disappear.
It was certainly true, but it was also true that Jeremy had done much of the work.
The hero had worn down the lizard man and forced him to use much of his armor.
Still, Aku was sure it wouldn't have been difficult for him to defeat the lizard man.
"Well, we already defeated him. How are you doing?" the boy asked, turning toward Jeremy.
However, apparently the hero hadn't survived the wound and was dead.
"Well... I suppose being a hero doesn't come naturally to me yet," the demon king commented with an indifferent air.
After that, Aku continued closing cracks for a while until they gave notice that they were safe.
Many heroes died, but no explanations were given as to why the monster attack had occurred.
Aku supposed it was an internal problem, because if it had been a trial they would have said so.
