It's been hours and the number of the monsters is not decreasing at all. No matter how much they kill, they would double in a fraction of a second. Most of them are already tired and Jean can't even cast her healing powers to support her friends. Diluc is dying from the heat of his Vision, Childe resolved in weakening the monsters with his fists and deal the final blow with the bow. Aether can't even cast his elemental powers and sometimes forget that Geo does not work the same as Anemo. Zhongli and Venti are also getting restless. Opting to use their powers and went for the kill. Not even caring about their companions as they wanted this fight to end already.

The sun was once high in the sky and now, there's no sign of it. Replaced by the moon and the sky was adorned with starry stars. However, the group has no time to admire those twinkling lights. The clashes of metal, the groans, the pants, and the heavy breathing. All of it echoed louder than the growling of the monsters.

A single monster made their towards Diluc, the redhead not knowing. Focusing on trying to control the heat of his Vision to not die of heatstroke. He only noticed the monster when Zhongli had warned him. But neither of the two had enough time to kill said monster. And in the second that they were still trying to think of a way to react, the earth rumbled. Shaking hard enough for all of them to lose their balance and cracks appearing on the ground.

A moment later, spikes made out of bones appeared under the monster. Vines were huge as dragons growing out of nowhere and swiping all of the monsters in the vicinity. Some of the vines had smashed themselves on the ground, squashing all of the nearby monsters into mush.

"I hope that I'm not too late." The group glanced back and saw (YN). His robe gone and was replaced by the outfit when he went out with Aether to Bubu Pharmacy. His figure getting nearer and nearer. Even then, they were not able to utter a single word. They could only feel relief that another had gone to support them. And with how easily (YN) had killed those monsters, surely, it's over now, right?

(YN) had reached the group and called all of them to gather. Fishing out bottles from his pockets, "Drink these quick. These should help you recover from fatigue and heal all of your wounds." Giving each a bottle for them to drink. But when Diluc was about to grab one, (YN) took his wrist. Pulling the male forward and pressing his forehead against the redhead's. A white light illuminating from (YN) and he parted away after a few moments. "Don't question it. My brother was the one who made that trick to recover patients from overheating. My prowess is not as amazing as his but it's enough." (YN) then gave Diluc the bottle.

All of them drank the potion and felt the energy that they had lost was returning back at an alarming pace. Jean was about to thank (YN) for helping them but was cut off when the latter spoke, "Get ready. A second wave is coming." Their shoulders dropped. Quickly grabbing their weapons and put their guard up. On the lookout for any monsters.

And not a second later, Childe spotted one dashing right at them with lightning speed. If it weren't for him shooting the monster right at the head, Venti would have gotten attacked. "These monsters are a lot harder than I thought," Childe finally admitted. Although he's not verbally admitting it. The same rumble and shaking had started to appear, dust quickly fogging their vision as a ward of monsters were charging right at them.

"All of you focus on these guys!" said (YN).

"And what are you supposed to be doing!?" Diluc shouted, scarping the tip of his claymore against the ground before using his Vision to summon fire under the ground. Slashing a group of monsters that started to group up.

"I have a different target." (YN) grabbed one of the monsters' heads and squeezing it in his hold before it exploded.

Zhongli thrust his spear, "And what might that be!?" A high-pitched shriek caught all of their attention. Up in the air was a figure. Black-feathered wings on its back and its mouth were stretched from cheek to cheek. Its attire was clothing from millenniums ago. Simply out of fashion yet it looked trendy. However, the black hole on its chest distracted from how simply exquisite its clothing looked.

(YN) glanced to Zhongli, using his head to gesture towards the monster flying, "That." (YN) removed his tiny shoulder cape and white demonic wings came out of his back.

"And Childe," --- the ginger male looked at (YN) ---"aim for the heart."
