Burden

The team's hunt for calamity beasts continued with relentless intensity, each battle and assimilation shaping their skills and teamwork.

The rhythm remained the same: train, hunt, assimilate, but the challenges multiplied as they progressed.

With Mercury's new water beast, the team found it significantly easier to handle fire-type calamities.

They turned their focus to hunting a powerful fire calamity for Kaida.

During the battle, Kaida, tried to face the beast head-on in a one on one.

The confrontation was ferocious, with Kaida pushing her limits against a formidable opponent.

Despite her best efforts, the beast's strength overwhelmed her, forcing Mercury and Raya to intervene.

The battle became a grueling test of coordination and resilience. With great difficulty, the three barely managed to subdue the beast.

However, the victory came at a cost, Kaida was gravely injured and needed several days of rest to recover.
