Haha oh Winged Lion, you totally misunderstood all of Laios.

Laios is a goofball that loves monsters. You got that wish granted!

He also is way too goodhearted for his own good. Despite him despising humanity he has always been kind to others and they take advantage of him for it. But he has always tried to do good to others.

Finally, he loves a good meal.

If Laios turns into a human eating monster, what is the ONLY ethically sourced meal Laios can eat according to his moral compass?

I think the reason Laios can do this is the lord of dungeon only controls the dungeon’s beasts as long as he’s in the dungeon? The moment he stepped out, Laios was no longer spellbound?

I would be pretty disappointed if this was the explanation, since it comes across more as a sort of a "ah, gotcha!" technicality rather than anything character-driven like the aforementioned Laios' morals letting him chow down on the "human" who is also a monster but not his friends

I like this idea because it means the lion will use it's immense powers in the dungeon to raise itself back outside the dome, only for monster Laios to just grab him and yeet him back into the dungeon to try again.

It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
Man it sure would suck for that demon if one of Laios' desires for his monster was it being so tough it is completely immune to all magic.

But that would be so like Laios to become the monster that fucks with the plan as an unintentional side effect

I don't think Laios was actually under the demon's control in the first place.

I think he didn't turn into a human-eating monster, but rather a demon-eating monster: a monster capable of eating the excess mana of an out-of-control dungeon, and then gobbling up the dungeon lord and the physical incarnation of the demon.

I don't think Laios would write exactly that, but I can see him writing something like "Can totally eat ~anything!~" and the capability to eat demons being an outcome.

There's a cut off bit saying "Evan able...digest" which may hint at him being able to eat magic/demons

I'm definitely down for Laios not actually having a plan or his plan completely misunderstood the situation, but he ends up saving the day anyway accidentally. The Winged Lion already doesn't quite understand mortals, but the gaps in its understanding seem to especially line up with Laios's idiosyncracies.
