The Octomorph keeps on running, crawling towards Ashtria. It roars which made the birds fly away. When the Octomorph was now closer to her, its tentacles attack her so she slide her sword but she was surprised that it didn't burn nor make a scratch. She take a look at her sword and the Luminous powder was now almost running because of killing the baby octomorphs.She continues to defend herself with her two swords against its attack. The monster continues to push her against the wall until its one tentacle attacks her again, causing her to flee and her body to ache from being hit by thick walls. Her bones nearly cracked as a result of the impact, and her head began to bleed.She scattered one bottle of Luminous powder on her two swords and hold it tightly. She needs more Luminous but the flowers from the lake were damaged caused by the elders and the chief. She looks around and can still see elder Lolita laughing seeing her in her bad situation. She calmed herself and made sure to hit

They arrived at the basement where Sanya and Valdo hid. When Sanya saw Ashtria is completely injured, she dashes toward her and takes the medical kit that Charles took from the house they hid earlier. "Your body! It's a miracle that you're still alive, miss. With those hundreds of monsters, why did you even try to fight that big monster!? I thought ya'll just fighting with the babies?" Sanya asks her while cleaning and treating her wounds.Shuni on the other hand helps Sanya wipe the blood on Ashtria's face and speaks as well. "We're all worried when you told Valdo that you're in danger. However we can't get in touch with you after you speak, it's a good thing that Charles found you, the both of you.""No, the monster dashed towards me because that old lady did something. Even if I'll try to escape, it would still be able to catch up with me so there's no use. That monster looks like just playing with me earlier," Ashtria replied and looks at the ground. Sanya just let out a heavy sig

As soon as Ashtria saw the monster, she looked at her wristwatch and set the timer to see if anything had changed with her presence on the land. She was curious as to how long it would last while on land.The villagers first charge when they saw the baby octomorphs gather to attack them. Same on the other side to Lucas, however, the big octomorph only wanted to attack Ashtria. At Lucas's location, only a group of baby octomorphs gathered and they manage to kill each one of them thanks to the Luminous powders they have made for hours only with the help of the villagers' talents."Charles, you'll be in charge here. I'll help Ash- I mean Marie to the other side. It seems that the monster was now at her location," Lucas ordered."Roger that," Charles said with a nod. Lucas immediately ran and take off his sword when some of the octomorphs are attacking him and were all trying to block his path.When he is now near Ashtria's location, he can see that Ashtria was having a hard time fighting

Ashtria looks at the monster and stared at it intently. "It's not a surprise but we will be having a hard time killing it. Let's kill it before it could evolve again," Ashtria speaks and looks behind him when he sa there are still villagers who are willing to die to kill the monster. "All of you! Kill the small ones and you, chief, will go with us," she added and pointed her sword at the chief who was staring at her. He nodded and moved closer to them. While the chief was taking a step, suddenly the baby octomorphs vanish in an instant which surprises them. All of them become warier as they speculate it must be one of the monster's new skills. The parent Octomorph once again roared and the whole area was silent. Lucas and Ashtria focus on their surroundings to try to sense the monster. Suddenly, one man was caught and shouted, they all looked to where the man's location was and seconds later blood was dripping down to the ground which made Ashtria's eyes widen. She looked up and saw

Five people were walking and fighting against monsters who were wanting to eat them. They are scientists who are researching a village where they heard a monster lives. They have been roaming in the misty forest for days already, yet, they still haven't found the mirrorlake village. Two of them are fighters who will help and save them if monsters will appear in front and attack them. One of them is a woman who's wearing a bloody white blazer and a dagger on her waist. She's one of the best scientists in a well-known city called Technicia City. They've been wanting the internal organs of an octomorph because there are so many things they can do with it, — particularly since legend has it that it can transform a human into a powerful person. People only know that it is a legend, however, this woman scientist named Akeria read a book about a scientist who tried it on an animal and turned it into a powerful creature. "We've been roaming and walking in this forest for days, we still have
