Upon being released, he was introduced to a woman who had half of his body like that of a snake, but was actually a demon.

When he sees it, he tells her that he will make her mouth like hers, something her own family makes of her by cutting it off until it resembles a snake.
With the help of the only being he trusted, his pet Kaburamaru, he runs away, but is pursued by that demon; Fortunately, the Pilar del Fuego passed by and rescued him.
