The seventh and final heroic trial that Rostam had to go through, was fighting the White Demon. This demon was very strong and could preform powerful  sorcery. As the painting shows, the White Demon lived in a dark cave that was said to be ‘as dark as the mouth of hell’. Rostam bravely entered and found that the demon whose huge body was monstrously pale and pasty like a ghouls, (a frighting evil person)was asleep.

Bloody fight followed, with Rostam using his sword to kill the demon.
