Fighting the Beast Within.

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=artchef/dbb63a0f After reaching the sanctuary, I found Ethan and Joseph beneath the sacred apple tree. Despite Joseph's warnings, Ethan ate the forbidden fruit and transformed into a monstrous beast. I followed him into a cave for a grueling boss fight. After reaching the sanctuary, I spotted the hut and realized both Ethan and Joseph were gathered under the sacred apple tree. I began heading toward them to see what was happening. As I got closer, a cinematic began. Ethan was standing beneath the tree surrounded by fallen apples, but Joseph stepped in to stop my character from interfering. Ignoring the rotting fruit on the ground, Ethan reached up and picked a perfectly fresh apple directly from the branch. Ethan showed a lot of resentment toward his father, feeling like he was being held back from the power he deserved. Joseph pleaded with him, claiming he was only trying to protect his son from a burden he couldn't carry. Ethan ignored the pleas and took a large bite of the apple. Immediately, something shifted within him, and he fled the scene in a state of sudden, violent change. Joseph looked at me with pure desperation and requested that I save his son, admitting Ethan's soul was no longer clean. I set off to find him. I tracked him to a nearby cave, where I watched him warp into a terrifying monster. It was clear the man he once was had completely vanished, and I had to prepare for the fight of my life. I realized I made a tactical error by carrying two sniper rifles instead of my reliable SLR. I had to rely heavily on my rocket launcher, but the reload time was painfully slow against such a fast target. The snipers weren't doing enough damage to the beast, so I switched to my primary handgun to keep a steady stream of fire on him while I waited for larger windows to attack. The monster started attacking with bursts of flame. I had to keep sprinting around the cavern to avoid being burned alive while constantly firing back to chip away at his health. Whenever my rage power became available, I activated it and rushed in to land heavy punches. There were moments where it felt like I wouldn't make it, but I kept pushing through the damage. Despite lacking my preferred special weapons, I managed to take down the beast. The mission was finally completed, leaving a heavy silence in the cave. How about we continue in another post? Thanks for reading my post.
