The Demon King is wailing.
It seems the rejection from his beloved horse was quite a shock.
I sympathize with the horse’s feelings, though.
But it seems just crying is enough for the Demon King’s body temp to rise, causing him to perspire.
Any horse would have wanted to refuse a jumbo like him to get on their back, and his stallion looked quite the prideful creature.

Have you ever heard of the word “three-way deadlock”?
Let’s assume three things: A, B, and C. A wins over B, B wins over C, and C wins over A.
It’s a cyclic power relationship in that no one can be the ultimate winner.
The most famous example is the frog, the snake, and the slug.
Even the game rock-paper-scissors is considered a three-way deadl...
