Monkey King (4)

The battle with the Monkey King rages on with unprecedented ferocity. Shimar steps forward to confront the beast, having noticed its focus on Zian and Layan. With decisive blows, he attempts to slow the monkey down, but its immense speed and powerful strikes inflict severe wounds on Shimar. As the battle progresses, the monkey delivers a devastating blow, causing Shimar to lose his left eye.

Shimar: "I won't give up so easily... I won't stop until I see you submit to us!"

The monkey roars in fury, while Samer and Layan try in vain to help Shimar.

After a brief retreat during the battle, Samer and Layan join Zian and Kimara to devise a plan.

Samer: "This monkey is unstoppable! Even Shimar can barely keep up with him!"

Layan (breathing heavily): "But we have something he doesn't... teamwork. We need to exploit that!"

Zian (sharply): "True, but we need to be faster. Every second we delay, the more injured we get."

Kimara: "There might be a weakness. If we focus on his attacks and study his movements, we might find a loophole."

Despite losing his left eye, Shimar insists on fighting, demonstrating the depth of his determination.

Shimar: "This monkey... he's not just a beast. I feel something dark controlling him. His past is etched in his eyes."

The monkey pauses for a moment, a look of pain crossing its face, as if Shimar's words had stirred painful memories.

A flashback begins, showing the monkey as a youngling in the forest, weak among the beasts. He was constantly bullied and attacked, until he gained his strength after harsh training with a mysterious entity believed to be one of the Djinn kings. He became the ruler of the forest, but lost his dearest friends due to a mistake he made in his youth

* Samer begins to develop more cunning strategies instead of relying solely on his strength.

* Layan delves deeper into using defensive and offensive techniques, making her a cornerstone of the team.

* Zian, despite his suffering, demonstrates his ability to remain calm, inspiring everyone.

After their temporary retreat, Layan begins using a new ability to protect the group, while Samer devises a plan to distract the monkey.

Samer: "Zian, you'll be the bait. Shimar, we'll need you to deliver the final blow."

Shimar: "Don't worry about me. I won't let my loss hold me back."

Zian (smiling): "I expected nothing less from you."

The forest is ablaze with the sounds of battle, and the heroes' pain only strengthens their resolve. The Monkey King advances with ferocity, but the heroes prove that determination and teamwork can overcome any obstacle, even though they haven't triumphed yet.
