The chapter opens with a description of the events that have taken place in the previous chapter. The chapter begins with the narrator lamenting the fact that he and his companions have lost their way in the dungeon. He wonders why they have not been able to find the copy creature they had planned to save for later. He also wonders why the other members of the party have not joined in the battle against the undead. The narrator explains that he expects Kilik to be able to predict the next moves of the undead in three dimensions. Kilik is able to do this because he has a special ability called "cross-shaped twinkle" that allows him to place objects in three-dimensional space. This ability makes him able to accurately predict the future actions of his enemies. He is also able to use this ability to predict their next moves. He realizes that he can entrust his future to someone who is willing to fight for him.
