Onto the next demon lord

Kretos woke up after he finally recovered from his last fight. After he killed Vampiric Lord Darius Kretos collapsed to the ground due to his wounds. If anyone were to see him like this, they would've taken advantage of him and then killed him. So before he lost consciousness Kretos immediately melded into his shadow and hid there until he fully recovered. 

Two times he has been saved by the Shadow Clan's signature technique of melding into one's shadow. Once he was awake the first thing Kretos did was look around the area. It would seem that Darius's body was no longer there, somebody must've taken it. He then looked around and saw that it was still the same devastated city that Darius destroyed. Nothing has been done to it, and no one seems to be planning on fixing it.
