Cedric could've stayed behind to check on his fellow convicts or at least, re-assure them that everything will be fine cause god knows they need it, even the wardens too.

After giving them a considerate glance, which looked like an act of intimidation to the eyes of his targets due to what they'd just witnessed, he turned around and disappeared into a blurry shadow.
With the Tiger Demon down, the rest shouldn't have a difficult time repelling the remaining invaders, especially since he's also cutting down their numbers. The pressure they would face shouldn't be as heavy as before.
