346 - Great Forest Arc 4

The original monster, now reduced to a cracked shell and in the process of disintegrating, was dominated by a new threat: the four flaming eyes, each with a menacing and independent presence. The creature's continuous scream echoed through the forest, a sinister wail that seemed to express the agony of the transformation and the growing threat of the new creatures.

Ryan continued to throw bursts of water at the flaming eyes, but something was wrong. Each time a jet of water approached, it simply evaporated before reaching its target, turning into dense vapor in the air. The four eyes had lined up in a diamond formation, and the energy emanating from them was so intense that even water, his most powerful weapon so far, couldn't penetrate the heat barrier surrounding them.
