In the midst of the battle, Tullus and the other animals try to kill the lord sacrificial spirit, but Tullus's treasure-tool is too powerful for them to use. Tullus, however, is able to use his brother's weapon because he has sacrificed his own teeth to make the tool. This is the first time that Tullus has been able to kill a living creature, and he is very proud of it. The other animals are confused by the smell of the treasure tool, which is made from the teeth of Tullus himself. They wonder why Tullus is so arrogant without his front paws, and why the green-scaled eagle is still alive.
