In this chapter, the demon king explains that he cannot use the magic of the red light because he cannot fully absorb it. He is afraid that if he is struck by the lightning, he will be struck again. He wonders if it is because he is greedy, or if his fate is his, but he does not regret it. The lightning is getting stronger, he says, and if it continues like this, it will soon become a level nine purple lightning. The red light is a flaw in the creation of the heaven king, he explains, because it allows the devil to ignore the prohibitions of heaven. He says that he can follow the light and enter the remains of the gutong. He tells the man to wake up, and he will protect him as long as he lives.
