Synopsis

The chapter depicts a tense confrontation where a character, possibly Urich, is encircled by opponents. They acknowledge his prowess and decide that a coordinated, multi-directional attack is necessary to overcome him, abandoning individual charges. Urich, while surrounded, muses about his deepest fear which is not death itself, but rather eternal aimless wandering post-mortem. He recalls his past battles while envisioning golden wheat fields, a blazing earth, and the edge of the world, culminating in a final moment of struggle.
