"My master said he'll be staying in there for a few days to test the waters," said the Demon Annihilation Sword the moment she returned to the others.
Gutou then spoke, "Umm… do you still need me? If not, I'll return home."
Lev then said, "Why don't you wait for Yuan to return before leaving? Don't worry, we won't tell you to come into Death Paradise with us."
Gutou nodded, and they patiently waited for Yuan to return. In the meantime, they fought off the Sea Devils that attacked them. Or more specifically, Lev dealt with the Sea Devils while the others watched.
Of course, nobody asked him to be the guard, but he didn't want to feel like pointless luggage and volunteered to fight.
As for the Sea Devils that he couldn't deal with, Gutou would help out, as he was a True God.
One might assume that remaining within the water would shield the Sea Devils from the Demon God's Ordeal, but even they were not spared from the phenomenon.
