As the battle rages on, Guizhou tries to control the situation. He tells Guizhou that he has the ability to take out the queen in two blows, and that if he and Guizhou take another step, he will crush the palace and release the power of the five-horned dragon within it. Guizhou wonders if this is the queen's manifestation, but Guizhou assures him that it is just an accident. The doctor tells him that Guizhou's wound is not life-threatening, but that the dragonkeeper has been infected with a rare poison that will make him a monster.
