Summary
Joseph launches one of his Ripple clackers at Wamuu, who easily dodges with a slight tilt of his head. Joseph explains that his Ripple is still fairly weak, but by charging the clacker coated in a special ripple conducting oil, he is able to tear through through the Pillar Men's skin. The Pillar Men are amused at the sight of such an unorthodox weapon, and wonder if the human race has evolved backwards. Joseph responds by using slight of hand to cause his clackers to disappear, however his allies behind him can see that they are in fact wrapped around the backs of his arms. Wamuu is surprised by this trick, giving Joseph the opportunity to launch himself at him, along with the clackers hidden behind his back. However Wamuu dodges both sets by contorting his body and allowing them to pass by, causing one clacker to embed itself in the pillar behind him.

Entertained by his opponent's tenacity, Wamuu slits Joseph's wrist and gives him one minute to defeat him. He commands Joseph to pick up his weapons, but is unaware of the first clacker, which had punctured the column behind him. The second clacker is flung back towards Wamuu and bashes him directly on the crown, leaving a large indent in his skull.
