"Any reason why there's so many in one spot?" Key questioned as he turned his head, counting each of them.
"Even corrupted, they retain their natural instincts." she said, her golden eyes glowing faintly as she observed the pack. "Wolves hunt in packs. It's as simple as that."
Key nodded, letting the information sink in. "Smart of you to put up that forcefield."
Nythra smiled faintly, a hint of mischief flickering across her face. "Guess this is a great time for you to 'Solo Level' or whatever you called it. I want to see what you can do."
'Shit..of course there's a catch to something like this. I haven't even seen my Sta-'

'Thanks for showing me game.' Key deadpanned. 'Don't look like I've got a choice..fuck it.'
"Fine with me..I'm rea-"
All of a sudden Key was thrown out of the forcefield by an invisible force.
"Oh SHIT!" He yelled out as he landed face first.
Nythra giggled to herself as she watched. 'Now to see if you're worthy of the power you wield..Key.' She thought eagerly.
Meanwhile Key stood up swiftly and faced the Abyssal Werewolves..who were looking like he was a buffet, ready to eat him alive.
"Running's not an option..I'm not a pussy." He said quietly as he glared back at the Werewolves.
'Guess it's time to put this triple S class skill to use.' He thought, not like he had a choice, the Werewolves now started to run at him like the World War Z zombies.
"Game-"
[SSS skill 'Abyssal Ascension: Wrath of the Void LV.1' has been activated!]
[New active skill acquired!]
['Blackhole' LV.1]
Creates a swirling vortex of pure void energy that pulls in all nearby enemies,their forms becoming elongated before vanishing entirely into the infinite darkness, leaving no trace behind. The gravitational pull is strong enough to affect anything within a 10-meter radius, drawing them into the abyss and erasing them from existence. The blackhole lasts for 15 seconds, with the pull getting stronger over time.
AE Usage: 15,000
Cooldown: every 20 minutes
Well damn..
Key smirked and held out his hand toward the rabid werewolves.
"Activate Blackhole."
The moment the words left his lips, reality itself seemed to shudder. A swirling void erupted in front of him, warping the air with a deep, resonant hum that reminded him of Naruto's Rasenshuriken—only this time, the destructive force wasn't just spinning chakra. It was something far worse. Something hungry.
The Abyssal Werewolves barely had time to react before the pull became unbearable. Their howls of rage turned into desperate, high pitched yelps as their bodies contorted, stretching unnaturally against the force of the void. They clawed at the ground, trying to resist, but it was useless. One by one, they were sucked into the abyss.
Key barely moved, standing firm against the overwhelming gravity. His outstretched hand trembled slightly, not from fear, but from the sheer power surging through him. The earth cracked beneath his feet, fissures snaking outward as the void devoured everything in its reach. Even the shadows around him twisted toward the vortex, pulled into oblivion.
And then, as quickly as it came, the blackhole collapsed in on itself with a soft whoosh, leaving behind only eerie silence. The battlefield, once littered with monstrous werewolves, was now empty. Only the scars of the fight remained.
Nythra watched with a smile of satisfaction, her eyes glinting with curiosity and interest. "Impressive.." she murmured. "So he really is the Chosen of the Abyss."

[Blackhole's Absorption LV.1]
Whenever enemies are absorbed into the Blackhole, it allows you to get one of their skills, attributes, or others. The higher level enemies, yield rarer results.
.
.
Key exhaled sharply. The power in his veins had barely faded, but the weight of what he had just done settled in. He had erased them—completely. No corpses. No blood. Just… nothing.
"Shit just got real.." Key said with a chuckle as he heard an applause.
Nythra clapped slowly, a smirk of her own playing on her lips. "Not bad at all. You've got potential, Key. But remember, this is only the beginning."
Key turned, matching her gaze. "Trust me, I'm not losing sight on what's important." He replied. "So what's next?"
Nythra's smirk deepened, her eyes gleaming with intrigue. "What's next? Well, that depends on you. You've shown me a glimpse of your power, but there's much more you need to learn about the Abyss and the forces that inhabit it."
Key glanced back at the spot where the Abyssal Werewolves had been obliterated. "Yeah sounds about right." He glanced down at his clothes.
A simple black t-shirt, gray sweatpants, and black tennis shoes?
Yeahh he definitely couldn't continue on like this.
"Is there any way I can get some new clothes? These aren't exactly meant for scrapping if you know what I mean." Key gestured to his clothes.
Before Nythra could respond, an unfamiliar voice cut through the air. "Clothes should be the last thing you worry about in the Abyss—"
Key's head snapped up, eyes narrowing toward the speaker, but Nythra's expression showed familiarity. Without missing a beat, she responded, "Well, it's about time you all came back."
