Red Demon awoke later letting Drake sleep. He drew a little before practicing with his Polymorph ability. He sat in a lotus position and had an hand extended. He was able to control the Polymorph ability to a degree. His arm changed to a red tint and became wider and more muscular. He had black talons from his fingers and three spikes came from his elbow.
He could hear Drake stirring and quickly deactivated the ability. Drake rose, scratching the back of his head and yawning. "Morning" he said. "Its evening" Red Demon stated. Drake shrugged, "Eh. So what's on the agenda?" he said, pulling out a piece of dried meat and eating it. "Well I am going to the castle to kill the Witch King. I don't know what you have planned tonight?" he said. "I didn't want to leave you here alone while you slept. Since you're up I will take my leave then" Drake looked surprised. "Wait? You're going to kill the Witch King? You're walking into a death trap if you do that!" he said standing up trying to convince him the idea was foolish. "Not to worry. I am well prepared to take on an army" he told him. Drake just stared at him slack jawed. "Who the hell even are you?" Drake asked. "I am the King Slayer, '' he answered. Drake was truly speechless. He held up his mask.
"You're the Red Demon? You were the inspiration for this!" he told him. The Red Demon stared at the mask. "I didn't do this to inspire, '' he told him. "Nevertheless it happened anyway. Others I know feel the way I feel that the king of their realm is nothing, but a nightmare! You on the other hand saved Light Realm angels, brought peace to the Fire Realm, took on the Dark Forest Realm and even destroyed the Moon King along with his army. These are not small feats and so they inspired me to take up arms'' Drake explained. "This your way of saying you're tagging along?" Red Demon asked. "YES!" He stood up shouting with enthusiasm. He grabbed his things and was ready in no time.

Before Drake was attacked by the residence of Rabbit Hole.
The Allfather tended to his garden. When he was surrounded by the masked Smiling Demons. They all began to chuckle at once. "Evening father!" One of the twins said as Bedlam energy swirled around his arms. A spiral of black and red shot at the Allfather that grabbed his cane unsheathing the hidden sword inside. He began attacking but was thwarted by Deb shooting arrows. Wit teleported to appear behind him, slashing his back. Quinten charged forward and drove a fist into his face. He slammed into a pillar. Fire then rained on him from above. He quickly jumped and ran dodging explosions till one knocked him off balance. He then ran up the wall dodging another Bedlam spell that broke the wall. He was up to it in no time. Till another wound sprang from his stomach knocking him to the ground. Wit appeared as he jumped up at the right moment.
Allfather sat on the roof of his mansion cupping his stomach that had a large wound in it. Standing opposite him was the Smiling Demons that all climbed up on the roof. Wit approached giggling, "Wit get your senses back boy! I dunno what's gotten into any of you! But please don't do this!" He begged. "Why? This is fun!" He said as he plunged a knife into the Allfather's chest. They all took turns stabbing him. He slowly bled out and died right there. Wit and the others then ran to confront Drake.
After Drake's escape the mob went above ground and made their way to the Castle of the Witch King. The group all had smiles upon their faces as they were confronted by Briar Giants. They attacked wildly, climbing the giants and setting them ablaze. Witches joined the fray and the battlefield was formed as the Witch King intended. She gazed at the carnage through the hole in her throne room. She held the glass jar of crimson liquid. "Seems it's time to unleash the final stage to make this a truly chaotic scene. "Guard!" She yelled. A guard approached, "Take this and give it to one of the witches, tell them that this will wipe out all those attacking us. Do it in great haste!" She handed him the jar. The beast guard took it in his claw and ran out of the room. She chuckled at this. "Ah it's not long. King Slayer will be caught up in the massacre. Time to position myself" she said walking to a wall. She pressed a secret latch that moved the throne to the side. It has stairs leading down. She walked down calmly and entered a round room. The throne closed over behind her. Torches became lit illuminating a giant magic circle that started to glow orange. Veins of chi were flowing into the circle coming from the walls. "Good, it's been absorbing the chaotic energy from outside.
She then stood in the middle and her entire body was covered in an orange glow. She sat down and focused on expanding her soul core.

Red Demon and Drake came upon the battle seeing a fire consuming the forest. "By the gods this is pure insanity!" Drake said, putting on his mask. He held a smile upon his face. 'Well he wasn't lying about smiling. Weird defense mechanism' Red Demon thought.
'This seems calculated somehow? This all is very coincidental. The forest is even grown in a circle? That's suspicious to me' he thought, scanning the battlefield. Humans, witches, and giants are all locked in battle. Beast soldiers were almost among the populace locked in battle. They held a shield wall as crazed humans jumped upon them using daggers, axs, and swords to kill them. They took weapons from the killed beasts and used them against their enemies. Witches flew overhead plunging down to grab humans and began feeding on them driving jagged teeth into their necks. Red Demon and Drake joined the fray while running through trees and the carnage. They defended and killed all that came at them. Human or not they had no time to think. Red Demon jumped up and slashed one Briar Giant in half before cutting the arms of another. Drake fought two beast men at once and his arms turned silver as he shattered a shield with his fist. He then drove his ax into his skull. Grabbed one beast man by the throat, swiping his legs from under him. He slammed his head down, breaking his neck. Quintin emerged from a tree holding two axes. His green mask caked in blood was smiling at Drake. "Smiling Demon arrives!" He said laughing maniacally. Drake looked over seeing Red Demon as he kept moving through the battle cutting down all with great ease. Drake inwardly nodded at this. 'Be a villain to kill a villain. I'm sorry Quintin.
Drake and him became locked in battle as they battled with axs. Drake grabbed one ax with a silver hand breaking it. He then drove his ax into Quentin's stomach and rhe kicked him into a tree freeing him from the blade. He choked on blood under his mask before Drake mercifully straightened his metal hand and plunged it into Quintin's chest, killing him. 'I'm sorry old friend' he thought, running to catch up with the Red Demon.
Beasts came from the forest that looked like panthers with blue fur. They jumped on beast soldiers. From the other end of the forest elephants with four tusks and black skin barreled through the battlefield. "It's like all manner of life is drawn to here for some reason?" Red Demon said. Sidestepped a javelin and decapitated a beast soldier. Drake threw his ax like a boomerang. "At this rate we won't make it to the castle. We need another way in! This is nothing but a melting pot of slaughter!" He screamed, jumping and catching his ax to swing at a witch coming at him.
Spiders came from another end of the forest with other giant insects. Red Demon saw the mayhem. He kept scanning see a shadow on one side of the wall encircling the castle. With that came an idea. He then grabbed Drake by the collar. "FOLLOW ME!" He said dragging him to a wide tree of shadow. They plunged into darkness to only walk out for the wall encircling the castle. "What the hell was that!" Drake asked. "It's a form of travel I can do. Never tried it with another person in tow before" he stated. He kept focused and ran towards the gate following the wall. "So glad I was your first experiment!" Drake said shaking his head. He pulled his mask down and followed. They could see the battle as a whole now. The very gate was weakly guarded. "Why not transport us inside?" Drake asked. "I need to know the layout to do that. If I don't I have to see from a distance at least" overhead a witch came over the wall holding a jar in her hands. Red Demon squinted putting chi into his eyes he zoomed in. The jar had writing in blood on it. The liquid emitted a lot of chi. 'That isn't some ordinary concoction' he gestured to Drake. "We need to get over the wall now!" He said he pulled a kunai out and activated his boots to take flight. He grabbed Drake by the arm and they slowly ascended up the wall. Red Demon then threw the kunai to the top making contact with the stone. It then retracted him forward as he pulled Drake up. They each grabbed the ledge and halled themselves up. Red Demon looked over his shoulder as a crimson cloud erupted in the middle of the battlefield. Everyone, and everything was consumed a red cloud. Screams, screeches, roars, and laughter could be heard. They jumped over the wall before the cloud dissipated.
What they would of saw was everyone slaughtering enemy and friend. Their eyes were all glowing red everyone lost reason. A giant jumped on another giant ripping his wooden arms off. Panther and spider were locked in battle as a white pray mantis emerged killing them both and feasting on them. It was then attacked by an elephant and so on it continued as everyone killed each other. Deb fought two beast men who then skewered her only to turn on eachother.
Wit was picked up by a giant and skewered to a thorn. Dross threw fire balls all about till he was set upon by a panther. Then two as they ripped him to shreds. They then fought over his body. The twins were fighting each other as they threw spells at one another Bedlam spells at each other. Their spells were swirling black and red spheres that exploded killing many around them. They were focused on killing one another till the other did so with a blade. The surviving brother then engaged a witch that dodged a ball of chaos to then get his head cut off. The rest of the Smiling Demons were no more.
Rachel laughed maniacally as she jumped on the back of an elephant. She stepped at its black fur before a giant picked them both up and slammed them to the ground. She flew a distance before slamming to the ground as her body was broken.
Red Demon and now Smiling Demon were the only sane ones left in the Land of Madness. They fought guards as they made their way to the throne room.
