In this chapter, we learn that the witch doctor stopped her ritual because she was worried about the effect it would have on her own health. In fact, she's worried about what it would do to her health if she had to perform the ritual again. In the meantime, the silver needle that she uses to heal herself has been used against her, and she can no longer use it to heal anyone. She's so upset that she can't figure out how to stop the evil man from killing her. The silver needle is useless now, she says, because he's stronger than all the other enemies she has met so far. She tells the man to watch out, because the man is getting stronger by the minute. He's a lot stronger than she is, and he'll be able to kill her soon enough.
