The Dragon King had already surrendered and become an ally, so Andrew no longer needed to keep his projection.
So Andrew returned the projection to him, allowing him to fight for Andrew immediately.
Looking at the curses densely covering his projection, the Dragon King couldn't help swallowing. Thank goodness he had surrendered. If those curses had erupted, he would have met a terrible end.
"Thank you, boss. Boss, before I surrendered, I secretly sealed off Dragon Hell. The other Demon Kings probably don't know I've surrendered yet."
The Dragon King said respectfully to Andrew, "We can take this opportunity to ambush the Unicorn Demon King and catch him off guard."
"This guy... what a bastard."
Hellboy and the others were speechless. The Blackheart Demon King eyed the Dragon King warily. This fellow was definitely a formidable rival in his efforts to win the Mechanical Demon King's favor.
"Not just shameless, but ruthless enough, too. This guy has talent."
Andrew smiled and said, "Dragon King, you must have had excellent grades at the Academy of Backstab.
"Go ahead. Take Unicorn Hell as quickly as possible, then attack the other hells."
"We're attacking other hells, too?"
Everyone froze for a moment, then grew wildly excited and replied in unison, "Yes, boss!"
Andrew said nothing more, withdrawing his consciousness from Dragon Hell.
The Dragon King breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally cleared this hurdle. As for what came afterward, he would deal with it later. Only the living had a future.
"Right, the Unicorn Demon King is prepared to blow himself up. We need to guard against that."
Remembering something, the Dragon King recounted the Nightmare Demon King's earlier proposal.
Realization dawned on Hellboy. "No wonder you surrendered voluntarily. Those Demon Kings were clearly treating you as disposable pawns."
