Labaw Donggon’s defeat by the Lord of Darkness angered his brothers. Humadapnon went off on his journey of revenge, seeking out all of Saragnayan’s kinsmen and followers.
Humadapnon returned to Saragnayan’s domain. He employed the aid of Buyong Matanayon, a skilled swordsman. For their journey they rode on a sailboat called biday nga rumba-rumba. They travelled through the region of the clouds, passed by the region of eternal darkness and ended up at a place called Tarambang Buriraw. In this place was a ridge called Talagas Kuting-tang where a seductive sorceress named Pinganun lived.
Pinganun changed herself to a beautiful maiden, and seduced Humadapnon into her bed. Buyong Matanayon begged with Humadapnon to leave the place with him but Humadapnon wanted to become a witch and make love to his new lady. After seven months passed, Buyong Matanayon remembered that they had ginger in their provisions. One evening at dinner time Buyong Matanayon threw seven slices of ginger into the fire. When Pinganun smelled the odor of burning ginger she left the dinner table because sorcerers hated the odor of ginger. Immediately Buyong Matanayon struck Humadapnon, who became unconscious. No friend of his was going to become a witch!
When Humadapnon came to, they continued with their trek. One day they reached a place called Piniling Tubig who was ruled by Datu Umbaw Pinaumbaw. There was a big gathering in the village and the datu announced that he was giving his daughter for marriage to whoever could remove the huge boulder that rolled from a mountain into the center of the village. The two men watched others try to lift the stone, but there were many shaking knees and grunts for miles.
Humadapnon took off his magic cape. He threw it to the wind, and the cape wrapped itself around the stone. He grabbed one end and spun the stone around himself for some momentum, then threw it back to the mountain. The datu kept his word and Humadapnon married his daughter. During the wedding feast, a minstrel sang of a goddess glittering with gold, who lived with duende. She was the goddess of greed, Burigadang Pada Sinaklang Bulawan.
After the wedding Humadapnon went to seek the hand of the goddess in marriage. Along the way he encountered Buyong Makabagting, who wanted the goddess of greed for himself. Makabagting challenged him to a duel. Humadapnon overpowered him, and the fight ended when Buyong Makabagting surrendered and even promised to aid Humadapnon. When the two arrived, many suitors laid in wait for the goddess. The men had dreams of gold and beauty woven into their minds. Little did they know that Burigadang Pada Sinaklang Bulawan had woven those patterns of greed. She wanted to see who would be the strongest willed out of them all, for she did not want to marry someone who would thieve or murder. She punished those who did so.
Her duwende subjects set up an arena for the men to fight each other, and each day Burigadang Pada Sinaklang Bulawan watched the tournament between men. Their sword fighting bored her, and when they murdered each other in the night to thin the competition, she brought misfortune on the murderers. While most men sang of her gold and glitter, Humadapnon proclaimed her beauty as his muse before every battle. He took down each suitor before him, and after many battles, he stood as the victor of the matches before her. Humadapnon married the goddess and brought her home.
Meanwhile, right after Humadapnon left to seek Saragnayan’s followers, his brother Dumalapdap left for his own adventure.
