The empty subway station quickly filled with the bodies of abyssals, lining the sides. Flashes of lightning as daggers and blades whizz through the air.
The number slowly rises as more and more of the abyssals fall, their numbers slowly dwindling.
Jianyu paused for a moment, her back against a wall as s's covered in a mix of abyssal blood and her own blood, she hadn't pushed herself this far before. Her daggers had gotten dull and worn out, and part of the edges had been snapped off from accidental hits against the floor and walls. "I need to resummon my blades!"
Ambier lunges from the ceiling and electrocutes an Abyssal, buying Jianyu some time.
Jianyu opens her skill tree.
[Crescent Blade Works]
In the center of the Skill tree was an icon which had an icon of a moon, branching off from that original skill were millions and millions of different abilities and powers. She had 4 icons unlocked in total, including her original skill.
[Dual Daggers: 1 Soul]
[Moon's Gravity: Passive]
[Moonlight: 5 Souls]
"Moonlight!" Jianyu throws both of her daggers straight into the ceiling, the blades embedding themselves into the molded ceiling. Carla, Ambier, and Qingsheng all look toward Jianyu as a giant pink orb envelops her daggers.
Abyssals all look towards the giant glowing orb as a pink needle icon appears above several abyssal his heads.
"Shine!" Jianyu claps her hands as the pink orb shatters into pieces of glass that home towards any target with a pink needle above their head. The abyssals' faces twist with pain as their necks are swiped cleanly off, exploding into an explosion of black powder.

"Good job!" Qingshen taps Jianyu on her back. "I can't let you get all the kills though!" Qingshen was still clean, his pristine white clothes were only stained by the abyssal's blood. He hadn't even broken a sweat.
Qingshen summons back all of his blades, turning them into a halo that circled his waist. As the abyssals surround her, one makes a brave move by jumping straight at Qingshen.
[Blizzard]
All of the blades that surrounded Qingshen shoot out like a bullet, creating a trail of frost. The blades pierced everything with ease.
The blades bounced off inorganic material like the walls, leaving an icy film over them. With each bounce, the blades got faster and faster, eventually too fast for the abyssals to react.
Within seconds, a good portion of the entire room had been cleared out. Qingshen falls to the ground as his knees give out.
"Qingshen!" Jianyu goes to him.
"The blades run on my body temperature. When my blades are overworked, my body's temperature drops immediately, absorbing my heat for energy." Qingshen grabs onto Jianyu's arm to slowly bring himself up. "I'll be fine."

"We'll end it from here now!" Ambier and Carla stand side by side.
[Electric Field]
[Poisonous Evergarden]
Ambier shoots out a massive forcefield of electricity that makes all of the flickering lights shatter, absorbing all of the electricity from the wires. The electricity ran through the ground like tiny wires, making their way towards Abyssals and frying them instantly.
Carla placed her hand onto the ground, turning the ground into a non-Newtonian substance. The abyssals started sinking into the ground like quicksand as the ground ate away at them, straight into their bones.
"Hah!" Ambier smiles smugly as he points his finger to the ceiling, an electric spark zapping from his fingertips.
"Watch out!" Carla let out a mortifying scream as a giant spear impaled Ambier's tiny abdomen.
His smile turns red as blood pours from his mouth and nose. He coughs and his smile is wiped from his face, his eyes shut.
"It's a Tier 3 Abyssal!" Qingshen backed away from Ambier.
In front of Ambier was a giant abyssal of epic proportions. He stood at a terrifying 12-foot tall, his bulging muscles twitched as his veins popped. He had one central bald head with bloodshot eyes and pitch-black pupils, accompanied by 3 partial heads that stuck out from its neck.
One of his appendages was a spear that acted as a hand. It had teeth covering the teeth that would consume all blood, drawing out all of the nutrients from Ambier's body. Its veins bloated with blood as it leeched from Ambier's abdomen, cyphening straight from his heart. He had a core made of pitch black, a testament to its inhuman strength.
"Run!" Carla ducked down as the abyssal let out a howling scream, causing the entire station to shake and dust to fall from the hanging lights that hadn't been cleaned for decades. Tiles flew from the walls as his screams echoed through the empty halls.
[Ambier (ER): 0/344]
His body starts lighting up as all of his muscles tense up in instinct. "That idiot Ambier!" Qingshen ran towards Jianyu and Carla, picking both of them up with one hand each, gunning for a pillar. "He's about to self-destruct!"
Ambier's eyes shoot wide open, electricity pouring from his irises. His hair stands up as electricity shoots from every electrical source in the room. The abyssal can do nothing but stare in awe as the mesmerizing last lights of his life make a shiny exit.
Boom!
His body lights up like a firework, sending out golden shards of electricity that pierced through the abyssal's toughened skin. In a bright flash, everything went white like a flashbang.
"Ow!" Jianyu's eyes burned as even while hiding behind a pillar, she could still see the massive explosion. The clothes on her skin singed as her fingertips nearly melted from being exposed to the raw brunt of the force.
As the light dissipates, the abyssal howls again in anguish as Qingshen peeks from behind the pillar.
The abyssal stood in the center of the station, his entire left arm gone and the rest of his body covered in burn marks. The ground had a massive black crater full of ash. The walls and ceilings were dented, tiles flying off from every angle. "Go!"
Qingshen summoned two blades from the air, jumping off another pillar in the subway and sending them straight into the abyssal's back. The daggers shattered upon making contact with the abyssal's skin. "Shit." Qingshen could do nothing but watch as the beast turned around unfazed, swinging down with all of its might even as half of his face had been blown off.
"Hey! Ugly bastard!" Jianyu sat atop the beast's head, her thighs wrapped around his thick neck. "How'd you like this!" She dug both of her daggers into his eyes, gouging them out as she twisted them around, turning his eyes into mush.
"Disintegrate!" Carla slid from beneath, grabbing his Achille's heel and disintegrating his foot.
The beast cried out in pain as it fell, unable to see and support his whole weight on one foot. Qingshen just looked on in awe as his life had nearly ended.
"Level 3 abyssals are no joke," Qingshen explains as he catches his breath. "They're the amalgamation of many, many abyssals. The more amount of bodies means the stronger they are."
Jianyu stood atop the melting corpse with both of her daggers, her white dress covered in blood. "Well how many bastards are in this one big bastard, they're still not done." Jianyu's breath was shaky as she gripped her daggers even harder.
The abyssal cried out in pain as blood poured from its eyes, a mix of its blood and Ambier's blood. Something was wrong however, his body hadn't started to disintegrate like a normal abyssal would after death. Instead, it started to grow even bigger.
