This chapter opens with a discussion of the relationship between the devil and the human body. The devil says that he is bound to the body until his master makes it his domain. He tells the audience that he will not be able to join them on their pilgrimage to hell because he is not fit to be with them. He also tells them that the days of the aven lord Temol Arela are over and hell is no more. He says that the devil feeds on the rage of the heretic, who is a threat to both the body and soul of the earth. He adds that the earth is stained red with the blood of the devil. The heretic is not human, he says, but a slave to the soul of his master.
