THE LOVE OF A MOTHER

Adam and the three-faced monster are still engaged in an intense battle within the fleshy arena. After Adam swings his bat, the monster is sent sliding backward on its back, but quickly deploys crab legs from its body to regain stability. Volk's face emanates a glow, manifesting four crab claws from the monster's form. Two of these claws transform into miniguns, shooting numerous shards at Adam, who skillfully deflects them with his bat swings. The shards, when deflected, trigger multiple small explosions throughout the arena. Emerging from the smoke, Adam slides backward on his feet, intercepting a spinning needle blade with his bat. Meanwhile, the monster emerges from the smoke riding a monstrous horse, releasing a fiery blast from its chainsaw sword. Adam thrusts his bat through the fire blast, knocking the monster off the horse. As Adam rebounds into the air due to the horse stomping the ground behind him, a bull-like monster descends upon him, colliding and piercing Adam's body with its horns upon impact with the ground.

Seconds later, Adam's bat swings propel the bull and horse monsters into the air. Observing this, Adam notices the three-faced monster sprouting wings on its back, quickly flying in. Spinning with its arsenal of needle blades, scissor blades, and chainsaw sword, the monster unleashes a fire from its chainsaw sword in which creates a fire tornado attack. Adam, wielding his bat with considerable force, engages in a fierce clash with the fire tornado attack. Despite his efforts, he begins sliding back, gradually losing ground in the struggle. Contemplating his family and Sam, a surge of anger courses through Adam, causing his eyes to redden. With this surge, he unleashes more magic from within, amplifying his magical power and physical strength. The clash intensifies to such an extent that it culminates in a big explosion of magic and fire, hurtling both the three-faced monster and Adam to opposite ends of the arena. Adam rises to his feet, observing that the three-faced monster has conjured various monsters—a donkey, a bull, an elephant, a horse, a crab, and thousands of rats arranged in a worm-like formation. As he prepares his bat, he pauses, noticing fluctuations in the magic enveloping his body, in which he assumes that his magic is trying to evolve, he grabs a hold of this magic and focuses, trying to find the evolution of his magic. 

 But before he can find his true inner magic he sees all the faces on the three-faced monster emanate a radiant magical glow, summoning numerous magical doors across the arena. In a swift sequence, the donkey monster charges ahead as the other animal monsters enter their respective magical portals. Moving at incredible speed, the donkey kicks Adam with such swiftness that he can't react in time. As Adam grapples with this assault, the bull monster emerges from a magic door behind him, propelling him forward. In a cascading chain of attacks, the elephant monster charges through yet another magic door, hurtling towards Adam carried by the bull. Adam attempts to strike back with his bat, but the multitude of rats intervene, blocking his attack. The elephant charges through the rats, delivering a forceful blow that causes a substantial splatter of blood. Enraged, Adam retaliates by fiercely swinging his bat downwards, striking the elephant's head and fracturing the flesh-covered ground beneath them. With a powerful motion, he thrusts his arm into the bull's skull, crushing its brain.

Adam spots the crab monster emerging from a magical doorway, unleashing its minigun arms aimed at him. Attempting to evade, Adam finds himself ensnared by the elephant's lengthy trunk. With fierce determination, he forcibly breaks free, tearing the trunk into numerous pieces using sheer strength. Swinging his bat skillfully, Adam deflects the incoming shards, but soon realizes the many rats are climbing onto his back, carrying the deflected shards in their mouths. Suddenly, explosions erupt in all directions as the shards detonate, creating chaos. Subsequently, the horse monster emerges from another magical entrance, slamming its legs onto the ground, propelling a severely injured Adam out of the smoke and into the air. In rapid succession, the donkey monster emerges, assaulting Adam from multiple angles with lightning speed. As the horse monster ascends and strikes Adam, the three-faced monster appears behind him, thrusting numerous needle blades into his back. Responding swiftly, Adam swings his bat, causing the horse monster to explode in a shower of blood. Turning around, he blocks a fire blast from the three-faced monster while simultaneously facing a powerful energy beam charged up from the crab monster's cannon arms. The resulting explosion engulfs Adam in a fiery magical blast as the energy beam collides with him. 

In Adam's realm, a radiant apple on the tree vanishes in a magical glow as Adam resurrects back on the arena. Swirling his bat, Adam disperses the lingering smoke. He swings his bat, but the three-faced monster escapes into a magical door. Adam smashes the door, shattering it in the process. From another door, the donkey monster emerges, knocking Adam down towards the crab monster. The crab monster fires an energy beam from its cannon arms at close range, triggering yet another magical explosion in the arena. Amidst the chaos, fragments of the destroyed crab scatter from the smoke. Adam emerges, bearing severe injuries. Observing the three-faced monster flinging needles across the arena, Adam attempts to leap upward but is interrupted by the donkey monster, stunning him. Frustrated, Adam remarks on his mounting irritation. However, seizing the opportunity, Adam times his move precisely and seizes the donkey by its neck as it launches another attack. Gripping tightly, Adam causes the donkey to explode in a gory burst.

The three-faced monster weaves a spell, causing all the needle blades around the arena to radiate with light. Volk's face starts to separate from the monster's form. Emergent from the monster's body, Volk wields his chainsaw sword, asserting that he'll stall for time as they finish their spell. Rushing towards each other, Volk and Adam engage in a fierce clash. Adam's strength prevails, hurling Volk across the arena, his horse-like legs comes out the back of his body stabilizes his landing. Adam quickly pursues, striking Volk downward into the arena. Volk retaliates with a fiery blast that Adam withstands, countering with a powerful bat swing that obliterates the fire. However, Volk seems to vanish. A magical door materializes behind Adam, quickly he demolishes the door. More doors emerge around Adam. Meanwhile, the three-faced monster is close to complete its spell. Adam takes noticed and rushes over to the monster with many doors blocking his way. Despite his efforts to break through the doors, Volk reappears, catching Adam off guard. Volk relentlessly swings his sword, each strike infused with a fiery slash directed at Adam. Crab arms emerge from Volk's body, pelting shards into Adam's body, while horse and donkey legs kick at him. Bull and elephant horns protrude from Volk's body to slash Adam. To add to the assault, an onslaught of a million rats pours out from Volk's form, overwhelming Adam. Utilizing his magic, Volk orchestrates the rats to encircle Adam, creating a tornado of rats. 

Volk roars and unleashes his crab mini guns, firing numerous shards into the swirling rat tornado. Asserting his resolve to triumph in both wars, Volk triggers all the shards in the rat tornado to explode, transforming it into an erupting vortex. The tornado continues to whirls as it slowly becomes a blood tornado. Within the swirling mass, a gleaming apple materializes, and Adam's hand emerges to claim it. Gradually, Adam's entire body emerges from the bloody vortex. His eyes illuminate with a red hue as he swings his bat, halting the blood tornado. The blood cascades down upon the arena, and Adam remarks on Volk and his family's annoying interference, disrupting his attempts to unlock new abilities by attacking him without delay. With swift determination, Adam advances and swings his bat, obliterating the upper portion of Volk's body. Meanwhile, the three-faced monster completes its spell, causing hundreds of thousands of magic strings to pierce Adam's body. Despite his efforts to move, the spreading strings immobilize him as they continue to spread through bloodstream, muscle, and brain. The monster then absorbs Volk's lower body, returning Volk's face back onto the three-faced monster. 

Adam acknowledges his predicament, realizing the imminent danger, saying that this might take longer than he thought it would. Suddenly, each needle blade emits a pulsating wave of energy that courses through the strings to Adam's body, obliterating his brain, heart, and vital organs. In a quick sequence, Adam resurrects, only to face another surge of energy that kills him once more. This cycle persists relentlessly. Meanwhile, Henry expresses his intrigue regarding Adam's power and the source of his magical abilities. Employing a spell, Henry establishes a cerebral link between his mind and Adam's. Adam's memories flood through the eyes of Henry, Volk, and Rudda, causing them excruciating agony. Amidst this torment, Henry questions about who could Adam really be. Tears stream down Rudda's face upon witnessing Adam's memories, prompting Volk to admit he's never experienced such intense emotional distress. Abruptly, the entire arena trembles, catching Henry's attention as he gazes upward, stating that their external body is losing in the outside battle. Rudda quickly departs from the three-faced monster's body and ascends upwards

In the ongoing external battle, Jean lets loose, allowing the four creatures within him to take control, adding dog and hippo attributes to his existing monkey and seagull form. Acting on instinct, Jean rampages, tearing into the massive three-faced monster's flesh. The monster retaliates by unleashing a barrage of energy balls from its numerous arms. Jean withstands the explosions and summons a hippo monster that charges through the smoke, tackling the three-faced monster into the crater's edge. The monster then tosses the hippo over, with quick movements, they charge at each other with great force. A dog monster leaps onto the three-faced monster, viciously biting the monster's head. In response, the monster flings the dog onto the hippo's back, seizing the hippo and hurling it at the dog. Sensing Jean charging a massive energy ball in the sky that covers the rising sun, the monster releases hundreds of energy balls at Jean. Despite enduring these explosions, a seagull creature emerges and descends with formidable magic, crashing into the three-faced monster and pinning it to the ground. Rudda's monster form emerges from within the three-faced monster, thrusting numerous needle-like blades into the seagull's back. She wrenches the seagull away from the three-faced monster and forces it to the ground. Gazing skyward, Rudda witnesses Jean hurling the massive energy ball. Expanding in size, Rudda clasps the three-faced monster tightly, tearfully expressing her love for her son and husband. Enveloping the three-faced monster within her immense frame, she shields it. The energy ball strikes Rudda's back, propelling them above the open space of the crater. Jean reverts to his human form, collapsing unconscious on the ground next to the edge of the crater.

At the same time the ongoing battle between Megan and Jarvis atop the black panther monster continues, Ezzy fiercely dismantles the black fire pillars with her punches and kicks. Unfazed by the black flames, Ezzy confidently strides through, remarking on that these flames aren't as hot as hers. Her punch then strikes the black panther's jaw, while Megan, engaged with Jarvis, gets impaled by his spear. Though wounded, memories of Duke's death fuel Megan's determination. With a powerful surge, she drives herself forward, pushing her body through the spear to impale Jarvis's throat with her slender sword. Pushing Jarvis off with a kick he falls onto his back with a splatter of blood. Megan holds onto her heavily bleeding wound, despite her severe injury, she leaps into the air, plunging her sword into Jarvis's chest. Her furious yell channels into intense wind magic, coursing through her blade and into Jarvis and the black panther. The black panther vanishes and at the same time the colossal explosion happens on top of the crater, capturing everyone's attention except for Megan, who remains focused on Jarvis. With the explosion reflecting on Jarvis's eyes, he takes a look at Megan's painful angry face, he smiles and mentions that he was the pleasure while Megan was the pain before fading away. Exhausted and injured, Megan collapses to her knees, clutching her severe stomach wound. Megan's surroundings start to blur as she observes Ezzy and their team still engaged in battle with the monsters encircling the crater. Gazing at her reflection in the water below, she realizes she cannot afford to die, not until she discovers her true self. Recalling a spell from her dreams, she casts the spell as a small green light emanates from her hand, slowly healing her wounds. Through the water's reflection, she witnesses the three face monster descending towards the crater. The monster crashes near Megan, visibly injured and emitting steam from the prior explosion. With its hand aimed at her, the monster charges up an energy ball. Tears stream down Henry's and Volk's faces as Ezzy urgently calls out to Megan. The monster releases the energy ball at point-blank range, triggering a massive explosion.

Inside the three face monster, Adam remains ensnared by the strings on the Arena. The monster drops to its knees, clutching its head in emotional agony. Volk weeps for his wife, Rudda, reminiscing about her care and his relentless search when she and their son were taken by Ezzy's parents. Henry sheds tears for his mother, recalling her protective love even during his time as a mindless zombie. Amidst this turmoil, Adam manages to move slightly, prompting a reaction from Henry, who angrily casts a spell, causing the needle blades to surge with more energy, resulting in an explosion within Adam's body. Volk vows aloud to kill Adam repeatedly until he actually dies. Meanwhile, in Adam's realm, Gand and the older Adam observe numerous shiny apples vanishing from the tree. The older Adam notes that Adam is expending a considerable number of apples in this battle. Gand reassures that there's no cause for concern, emphasizing that the more apples Adam consumes, the stronger he becomes and his body will surely adapt. Back in the reality within the crater, Ezzy spots Megan's charred upper body lying on the ground, which ignites a surge of intense emotion within her, intensifying her flames. However, before she can respond, Kiren intervenes, leaping in front of the three face monster and forcefully knocking it away with his hammer, stunning everyone with his remarkable strength. Tearfully, Kiren expresses his sorrow at Volk claiming yet another life he holds dear. Together, Kiren and Ezzy charge at the three face monster. Meanwhile, Stella rushes to Megan's side, falling to her knees in distress. In a sudden moment, she notices a slight twitch in Megan's index finger, while the Megan's nearby sword's orb starts glowing brightly. Overwhelmed, she emotionally calls out Megan's name in hoping that she is still alive.
