In this chapter, we learn that Leah's vengeance is for the young girl who lost her vow to the reaper. She must become a sacrifice to the devil, or else the village will die. Leah tells the townspeople that they should not have abandoned the child in the cave, invoking the wrath of God. He also tells them that they are endangering the town by bringing disaster to it. He asks the townspeople to stop, but they refuse to listen to him. He tells them to kill the witch and the man who has come to harm them. He says that he could easily break his neck, but he would not have done so if he were the "masses of damn humans" . He warns them that if they do not stop, he will kill them both. He calls them "sufferers" and says that they only acquire their self worth by degrading others. He reminds them that he would have killed them all if they were the same. He urges them to go to the town and tell the townspeople what has happened.
