In this chapter, we learn that the monster's name is "Rav's pet rave" and that he's about to become a "living hell" . He's going to cast himself into "eternal darkness" , which means he'll be able to control his own body and soul forever. This is a big deal, because it means that he can control the entire universe, and that's just the beginning of his power over the rest of the world. He tells the king that he knows he has to stop the attack on the town, and he tells the boy to get away from his dad so that they can do it. He also tells the demon that he used to work for the empire and that they could be partners in the extermination of the town's demon population. The king asks the demon if he'd like to be a part of the extermination team, and the two of them agree to work together.
