=================≠=============

The remaining five undead knights charged at Sun Jing in perfect unison.

Sun Jing ducked under the first swing, twisted between two more, and lashed out with her leg. Her kick smashed into one knight's ribcage, sending it skidding across the floor. She grabbed another by the wrist mid-swing and used its momentum, hurling it straight into its ally with a heavy crash of bone and metal.

She rolled backward, came up on one knee, and drew her bow again.

Before she could fire, a sharp pain flared across her back.

"Gah—!"

A blade had grazed her, cutting through her tank top and skin. Blood ran down her back.

[HP -10]

She barely flinched, clicking her tongue. "Tch. That all you got?"

Sun Jing spun on her heel, already drawing an arrow infused with pink mana.

The glowing arrow pierced straight through the undead knight's skull. Its head exploded in a burst of pink light, the body collapsing into a pile of lifeless bones.

She exhaled slowly, eyes locked onto the rest.

"Just four more left."

The remaining knights hesitated for a split second, then raised their weapons again, spreading out to surround her.

Sun Jing lifted her bow, pink energy pulsing brighter around her fingers.

"Come on," she said quietly. "Let's finish this."

She slid low beneath a wide slash, fired an arrow point-blank into one knight's knee, and used the opening to leap backward. Pink mana flared as she loosed three arrows each one exploding on impact. Bone and rusted armor scattered across the floor as the remaining knights collapsed one after another.

"Yeah… that feels better."

A staircase revealed itself at the far end of the floor. Sun Jing slung her Fairy Bow over her shoulder and headed upward without looking back.

The third floor greeted her with a sharper, heavier presence.

Twelve undead samurai stood in disciplined rows, their curved blades gleaming faintly as they drew them in unison.

She inhaled, mana flooding into her arms.

[Hazy Moon: Mana Imbued Arrows]

Pink streaks tore through the chamber.

She moved constantly backpedaling, sidestepping, leaping onto broken pillars as arrows curved midair, striking exposed joints, skulls, and torsos. Explosions of pink mana ripped through the samurai ranks one by one, their formations collapsing under relentless precision.

By the time the last arrow faded, the third floor was nothing but scattered armor and dust.

Sun Jing lowered her bow, eyes fixed on the next staircase.

"…Onward," She marched up the stairs to the fourth floor.

Sixteen undead samurai emerged from the shadows, their presence heavier than the previous floors. Their movements were sharper, more coordinated as they closed in from every angle.

Sun Jing exhaled slowly.

"Alright… more of you, then."

She drew her Fairy Bow again, pink mana blooming along the string.

Arrows flew in controlled bursts, each one guided by instinct and sharpened by Photographic Reflexes. Samurai fell one after another legs shattered, torsos blown apart, skulls erased in flashes of pink light. When they pressed too close, Sun Jing leapt between them, sliding under blades and firing point-blank shots that reduced armor and bone to ash.

[Hazy Moon has leveled up!]

Hazy Moon: Lv. 2 → Lv. 5

A surge of power washed through her, warm and overwhelming.

Another notification followed immediately.

[New Skill Unlocked!]

[Hazy Moon: Shining Road]

Description:

By pointing a weapon at an enemy, the user fires a beam of light that chases the target at extreme speed, disintegrating them upon engulfment.

"…That seems pretty strong."

She slung her bow across her back and reached into her inventory, pulling out a cold water bottle. Sitting down against one of the stone pillars, she twisted the cap off and took a long drink.

"These enemies don't seem all that strong," she muttered between sips, glancing at the piles of bones littering the floor, "but there sure are a lot of them…"
