This chapter opens with a description of the mountain, which is quite large. The narrator tells us that he has not been to the mountain either before or after his childhood. He says that he hasn't seen Gedo use his war spirit, which means that he doesn't know how to use it. He also says that it's not possible that two war spirits can be at the same place, because he has been following Gedo since he was a child. He explains that he decided to guard the mountain so that no one would find it and cause chaos. He adds that he disabled his eyes so that he wouldn't be able to see clearly. Gedo tells him that there is a huge gate leading into the mountain. He tells the narrator that he is feeling alive because of him, and that torture is his only value as a human being. He wants to torture the lives of other human beings so that they can feel the significance of being alive again and again. He then asks the narrator if he has a chance to fight him one more time.
