### Summary
The quest to find a cure for Lita Ma's mutating disease remains indefinitely stalled as a direct confrontation with the past erupts. Following a multi-year time skip, a matured Bota, his sister Lita, and their guardian Kana are operating undercover in a settlement ruled by the duplicitous chief, Mr. Mori. They have discovered his horrifying secret: he maintains peace by sacrificing refugees to an intelligent, human-faced leviathan lurking beneath the city. This monster is suspected to be the same one that murdered their legendary father, Teon Ma. Their stealthy investigation was catastrophically compromised, awakening the creature and causing it to devour a person. In the ensuing chaos, Bota has finally stepped into his power, wielding his father's sword with a skill that mirrors the late hero. Reader commentary expresses immense pride in Bota's long-awaited evolution as he confronts his family's monstrous legacy head-on, a moment that would surely make his guardian Kana proud.
