### Summary
The long-stalled quest to cure Lita Ma's mutating disease has been violently superseded by a direct confrontation with the past. After a multi-year time skip, a matured Bota Ma is now engaged in a desperate battle against the intelligent, human-faced leviathan responsible for his father's murder. This conflict ignited after Bota, his sister Lita, and their guardian Kana uncovered a horrifying conspiracy within a new settlement, where the chief, Mr. Mori, was secretly sacrificing refugees to the creature lurking below. With their investigation compromised and the monster unleashed, Bota has stepped into his father's legacy, wielding his sword to face the source of his family's trauma. Reader reactions from the current chapter highlight the monster's grotesque, nightmarish design and question why Bota is left to fight alone, suggesting his allies can only watch as he confronts this deeply personal threat. The urgent need for Lita's cure remains an increasingly distant goal, overshadowed by the immediate struggle for vengeance and survival.
