The landscape of the forest was rapidly changing as Max tried to avoid the explosive attacks of Sandman while thinking of a means to counterattack.
His situation was like a classic trope in video games where after a gamer defeats a boss, the boss would undergo an evolution, becoming faster and stronger.
"What to do?" Max muttered as he moved out of the way again just in time for a massive sand hand to come crashing down in his previous position.

Just then, he received info from one of his clones hidden far away from the fight, a precautionary measure to ensure he survived the onslaught of Sandman.
"Max, we have a problem."
Max furrowed his brows. "What's wrong?"
"The rate at which Sandman siphoned life-force from the coliseum spiked at around the same time as when she underwent evolution."
