The smell of corpses fills the air. It seems that the general is already aware of his death, but he guesses death by his "most valuable weapon" would be considered "a worthy one" . He tells the group that he has learned a "profound art" that he can use to absorb souls and convert them into his own power. He says that he is going to increase his power and burn the general to ashes. The group is confused and says that they still cannot completely defeat the general. They have no other way to do it.
