In the vast darkness within him, Tyler's consciousness hovered above his mana body. He didn't want to believe his conclusions, but the thought of the Demon King manipulating his life in Neron for over three years—until he was finally captured and imprisoned under the castle—terrified him to his core. Someone capable of such manipulation would have to be nearly omnipotent.
How could someone like that be killed by mere humans, even with the aid of an artifact? If the Demon King was truly that powerful, he should have foreseen his betrayal by his generals and prepared for it. Did something go wrong, or am I his backup plan?
Tyler was starting to get a migraine and didn't want to torture himself any further by wasting more time. Perhaps all of this was part of some master plan, or maybe he was being delusional. But as long as he was alive, he wouldn't surrender his body to anyone.
