The attack came fast.
A blur of movement. A sudden howl in the trees.
A monstrous humanoid figure crashed down in front of them.
It was part-human… part-beast.
> "Damn it," the man growled. "They've already started the transformation process."
Mri's heart pounded.
The Blood Root Syndicate had created human-monster hybrids.
> "We don't have time for this," Aiden said.
> "Then let's finish it quickly," Mri growled.
The fight began.
This was no ordinary beast—this was a warrior. A creature that could think, strategize, and kill.
But Mri was faster.
A blinding strike.
A final punch.
The hybrid collapsed.
> "There will be more," the man warned.
> "Let them come," Mri said, wiping blood from his face. "We're ready."
The jungle grew darker.
The truth was getting closer.
And so was the real enemy.
Professor Luwanto's Secret
They reached the abandoned facility.
The air stank of chemicals.
Old research papers lay scattered on the ground.
And then—they found him.
A thin, pale man in a torn lab coat. His eyes wide with fear.
Professor Luwanto.
He looked up as they entered. "You… you came."
Mri stepped forward. "We need answers."
Luwanto hesitated.
Then, finally—he spoke.
> "I never wanted this. I never wanted any of this."
His hands shook.
> "I was trying to create a cure… but they turned my research into a nightmare."
The team listened in silence.
And then he said the words that changed everything.
> "The Blood Root Syndicate's final experiment… is already complete."
A chill ran down Ayang's spine.
> "What do you mean?"
Luwanto swallowed hard.
> "Their leader… he's already transformed.
> He's become the ultimate monster.
> And he's waiting for you."
