Astaroth: I want to try and fool the demon lord into revealing the location of his weakness.

Dm: Ok roll your deceit, I will roll the demon lords insight.

Astaroth: ok *rolls* I got a 17, with my proficiency bonus and Charisma modifier that comes out to 26.

Dm: (rolls secretly and gets a total of 25) Alright. What do you say exactly?

(rest of the scene proceeds as in the manga)

Good question, maybe he got his magic dispelled and didn't realize that he still had magic powers and just needed to recast his buffs or something.

So his plan relied on the demon lord stating the exact location of his own core? What if he'd said "Impossible! I killed everyone who worked in the construction of the castle! How did you find the core?!" and didn't blurt out the detail itself? Or if he didn't take the bait in the first place? After all, Astaroth hasn't interacted with him enough to be able to prefict his moves so perfectly. The argument "he always stays back so he's never been taunted" is dumb, he had to rise to his position somehow, and he should have plenty of experience being taunted by opponents for his exact strategy. It's the first thing all the muscleheads would taunt him with, he should be used to hearing it from the mouths of the people he trampled underfoot. The first thing that strategy requires is resisting the impulse to head out yourself.

Bad Guy : "My power.. it's weakening?!..Im..Impossible! How could you do this?! How can you tell that my weakness is to destroy my core, and that core is hidden safely within my inner chamber! sealed inside a cursed box that I place down under my bed! and the only way to open that cursed box is to chanting my names 3 times while closing your left eyes!"

Did Eve plant a barrier or something so that the demon lord's core couldn't power him for some time?

i so hope they explain how they made him loose controll over his magic for a short time... else that plan would never have worked unless that immortal is a major idiot
