In this chapter, we learn that the demon king has transformed into a baby demon, and that he has been captured and imprisoned by the humans. The master of the dungeon, who is also the closest and dearest friend of the king, is worried about the king's reaction to the news of his transformation. He has gone to the vault to find the potion that the king has been using to treat his wounds, and he finds the potion in the pouch of his outer coat. He tells the master that he will have to wake the king up and give him the potion on his own one day when the truth comes out, because the king will be furious. He asks the master if the potion is in his pouch, and the master tells him that it is. When the master asks where the king is, the master replies that he is not his mother, but a demon slaying a swordsman. The demon king is shocked to see the mark on his forehead and the horns on his body. He wonders if it is the original demon king, or if he has returned to his old form. He says that the master must not have been all there after the transformation, because he still remembers his hatred for medicine. He then tells the Master that the front line of the demon army has collapsed, and they cannot capture the king or he will run away.
