Synopsis

The chapter follows Arut as he's dispatched to the human realm with a warning about the Empire's expansionist plans, which threaten both humans and demons. Arut's previously flamboyant use of magic has left him mana-depleted, forcing him to rely on a risky alternative – tapping into his 'Demon King's power.' He's confronted with allies' concern about his weakened state and a dangerous sparring session showcasing his raw power. The chapter ends with a reveal of the Empire's conquest map and a mysterious recollection regarding Arut's past identity.
