(Third POV: Omni & Smokes)
Omni and Smokes ran through the dark corridor. At the end of the tunnel, there was a dark cave.
The cave had small amounts of light, but due to [Six Eyes], Omni could see clearly. Smokes would have some trouble seeing, but as long as he stuck by Omni, nothing would happen to him.
The cave was covered with dark brown rocks, and pillars made of rock were on the sides and in the middle of the room.
The cave had an old, wet smell. The type of smell you would find on clothes you had washed but forgot to dry for too long.
The only things lighting the cave were small, glowing green rocks. They were randomly placed, and as Omni moved forward with Smokes behind him, he noticed the webs in the corner of the cave walls.
"Smokes, we're dealing with spider-type curses. I'm going to pick you up and deal with them quickly." Omni said as he turned to Smokes and picked him up by the collar.
"I mean, free work is free work." Smokes said as Omni began running forward at higher speeds than he showed in the corridor.
As he ran deeper and deeper into the large cave, the webs slowly grew more and more noticeable.
Omni stopped before a particularly large web. Taking a stick out of his inventory, he began using the stick to make large amounts of vibration in the web.
The effect was instant as hundreds of spider curses began running in from every direction.
Six eyes, eight legs, a dark gray skin tone, and only a face a mother would love.
"I know I'm beautiful, but trust me, there's enough to go around," Omni said as he floated into the sky while still holding Smokes.
"Maximum Output: Blue!" As Omni spoke, a blue sphere appeared in his right hand before quickly growing out of his hand and in front of him.
As the blue sphere moved, it began sucking up everything it came across. The cave walls and pillars were being sucked in along with the curses.
Omni moved his arm around his body, and the blue sphere moved along with it. The numerous spider curses didn't get a chance to attack as they were sucked into the maximum output lapse blue.
Omni smiled and held his hand forward, making the blue sphere fly forward at increasing speed, attracting all the mass it could.
The cave walls were in disarray, and as rocks fell from the ceiling and landed on Omni, they bounced off due to infinity.
"See, that wasn't so hard, was it, Smokes?"
"I think that may have been overkill..."

"You may be right," Omni said as he looked at the chat. "At least you graded up, right?"
"*Sigh*." Smokes only sighed at Omni's antics. The attack released had already disappeared, and not a single one of the hundreds of curses they saw was left standing.

(First POV: Mahito)
Running through what could only be a medieval castle, I turned the corner. The wide smile on my face as I got chased by curses that looked as if they had knight armor on.
"They're all yours, Rika!" I said as I jumped backward as far as I could.
*BANG*
Rika's hand came down on top of three of the knights that were chasing me, while the rest had turned their attention to Rika.
"Who knew having someone else do all the work felt this great?" My thoughts were spoken aloud as my grin grew even further.
'Oh right.' My smile went away as I remembered what I was here for. 'Let's get started on this!'
Splitting myself in half from the pelvis, I reshaped my soul until there were two versions of me.
"Hey! That's me!" I pointed at the curse.
"I think you mean you're me!" Mahito two pointed back as he spoke.
*BANG*
*CRASH*
One of the knight curses was sent flying into the wall next to us. Rika had been going crazy for the past few minutes.
"I think we need a way to differentiate ourselves," I said as I ignored the chaos going on around us.
"Hmmm, I've got an idea!" Mahito Two began changing his look as he finished speaking.
As the transformation progressed, I noticed little changes, such as a schoolgirl outfit and a shorter height. Only to find my patchwork face and yellow eyes staring back at me.
"Damn, I was never a narcissist before, but I do look good!" I wiped my forehead with the imaginary sweat it had as I looked at what was before me.
It looked exactly like me but was... a woman! 'Amazing work as always, me!' I couldn't help but praise myself in my thoughts.
"This should work, right? I mean, I even have breasts! I made sure not to skip a thing!" Mahito Two said as she crossed her hands under her chest to push up her breasts.
"Bravo! Amazing work as always!" I, of course, began clapping as I congratulated myself on my brilliant performance.
"Let's get down to business, though." I pulled Mahito Two in close and began whispering in her ear. "I need you to bring those knight curses to Sloth while I sit here and leech off of Rika's kills. Do you think you can do that?"
Mahito Two began nodding up and down insanely fast, and with a fist bump from me to her, she began running back the way I came.
*BANG*
"Oh, would you look at that?" My attention was fully turned to the chat as a curse was crushed by the hand of Rika behind me.
{Mahitoasm has made the advancement: Grade 4 Sorcerer}
Man, life sure is easy when you take the Rika Express. I don't even need to waste any of my transfigured resources on these curses!
I began walking forward with my eyes closed and not a care in the world.
"YUTA! BRING ME BLOOD!" Rika said as I heard a crash in front of me and one far away in the distance.
*Clap* *Clap*
A few claps I heard as well, but with my arms relaxed behind my head and nothing in my way, I could continue forward.
*BANG*
*CLINK*
*BOOM*
"You stupid fuck, open your eyes!" I was shaken as Souei appeared in front of my face.
"We are fighting for our lives! If you don't help out, you patch-faced, dirt-bodied ass bitch!" Souei screamed at me and then quickly turned around to parry a sword strike coming at his back.
*CLASH*
Souei swung his sword hard and ended up disarming the curse. "Get the fuck out of my face!" He said as he put his sword back in his inventory and punched the absolute shit out of that curse.
*BANG*
The curse left a dent in the ground, only to bounce off it and be sent flying.
Right as I was about to help out, a smile appeared on my face as I read the chat.
{Yuji Ghost: We found the Finger Bearer. Get here quickly, or Sceptix will die.}
*SHHHRIIPP*
Even as Rika tore a curse in half, I could feel a large grin forming on my face. The hell of a battle that was going on around me couldn't shake this feeling I was getting.
I was close. I could feel it in my soul that everything was coming together. I ducked a sword slash that had come at me.
The sword flying overhead I turned my upper body 180 degrees while my legs were still locked in their place.
Twisting my upper body even further, I then unwound myself at full speed. My left fist found its way to the curse's face—the helmet—and knocked it on its ass.
*BAANNG*
Rika's hand landed right on the curse as soon as it fell to the ground.
