Demon lord Oni returned to his castle covered in blood, missing his left arm to the shoulder, and his right half burned crisp. His right-hand general rushed in with a worried face. "My lord! You've come back. Didn't those humans distract the male dragon?"
"Yeah, but not as we expected, he returned faster than I expected, and I've got bad news." He growled, "I only managed to smash one egg before the male returned. Even I can't handle two dragons together." He coughed blood. "Call the flesh demons, I'm not going to last like this." He sat on the ground as she shouted. "Flesh demons!"
"Even after we went through all that trouble of setting a mana stone in the mountain pass." She looked at Oni with a sad face. "The dragon shouldn't have been able to find the mana stone. He should've gotten confused and kept staring at the humans trying to figure out where the mana is coming from."
