Summary
As the mine cart spirals deeper into the cave, Wamuu hits the break and sends it flying. Joseph, still unable to move from the damage he received earlier, tries to light a stick of dynamite, but Wamuu notices. Wamuu knows that Joseph has lost too much blood to survive, and wonders why he still has fearless eyes. Joseph tells Wamuu that if given one month, he would have been strong enough to defeat him. Using Wamuu's pride, Joseph provokes the Pillar Man into allowing him one month to live and train. Esidisi appears and asks Wamuu why he is taking his time, and, seeing the lit dynamite stick, eats it. The dynamite explodes in Esidisi's stomach without damaging him.
To ensure that Joseph will fight him again, Wamuu places a wedding ring of death on Joseph's artery. The outer part of the ring will melt in 33 days unless Joseph defeats Wamuu and drinks the antidote found in his lip piercing. Amused by this trial, Esidisi also decides to participate and places his own ring of death on the inside of Joseph's throat. With that settled, the Pillar Men jump into the sky in search of the Red Stone of Aja. A little later, Caesar arrives and helps the unconscious Joseph.
