Idea
The Rat King didn't understand.
Since the fight started, it had been evolving constantly.
It had only appeared recently, so it didn't know much, but it knew that it was strong, and it was only growing stronger.
As time passed, its form constantly changed.
It wasn't just the lava. It assimilated the ambient energy in its surroundings, and it rapidly learned how to control its new abilities the more time passed.
What a foe it was, one that seemed to constantly evolve and adapt to the situation as time passed.
It should have been harrowing. It should have been an impossible fight.
And yet...
It couldn't understand how these two creatures before it kept matching it.
No matter how it adapted, no matter how it raised its strength.
It only took them a moment to get on the same level as it and begin to suppress it.
But that made no sense. Were they like it, too? Creatures that could constantly evolve?
