The little girl before them grins widely, her whole right arm turning into a giant tenticle of flesh and bone, Lian jumps to evade and slashes down at Leviathan who blocks with her arm, the sword not even piercing her flesh, almost like it struck pure steel.
Huan Lian notices her earings, glowing earings in the shape green leaves before he is thrown back into a tree. All the while Ezra is still getting absorbed by the tree.
Helena then attempts to slash the tree with her water but the tree doesn't even get injured and the slashes merely get repeled to which Leviathan begins to laugh.
"Fools! The tree has been made indestructible by me!" Leviathan says while chuckling, her voice small and child-like, "all three of you will die today!" Leviathan does a basic evil laugh, almost sounding like a child trying to sound like a villain.
Leviathan brings her arms up above her head, "Ecokinesis: Wall of flesh!" a flesh wall apears out of thin air in front of her, dripping blood onto the grass below before it gets minced to bits by a single swing of Huan Lian's sword. Helena sends out water through the bits of flesh still in the air after Lian's attack.
Once the aftermath of both attacks settles do they realise Leviathan is nowhere to be found until a sword of bone cuts Helena in half, both halves of her body getting kicked away. Lian dashes at her, his sword ripping through the air like thunder as he aims to decapitate the child.
His sword then stops, again, as if it had struck steel, upon looking back he finds his large black sword stopped by the child's open palm.
He jumps back in a battle ready position while pointing the tip of the sword at her, "your blade feels dull." She says, cracking her neck.
"Because it is." He replied unconcernedly, listening to Ezra murmur something under his breath as his whole body seems nearly completely absorbed by the tree.
Helena jumps out from some bushes and sends a water slash at Leviathan which cuts her across her arm leaving the bone clearly visible. The little girl tears up at the pain and grits her teeth before touching a hill with her open palm.
The hill begins to transform into a giant golem of stone, moss and grass that sprints at them before it gets destroyed by a single slash from Lian which makes Leviathan annoyed, her wound healing and leaving a scar across her arm.

Ezra continues to murmur slowly before he speaks up, his voice strained, "Realm: Deathly Hollow!" and a platform made of marble apears surrounded by a field of swords stuck in the ground, a soft breeze blowing making the black grass around the platform. The platform also seems to be surrounded by ruins made of marble.
Ezra takes deep breaths, finally freed from the tree while Helena and Leviathan marvel at the scenery before them. Ezra wastes no time and immediatelly summons his chain whip, his eyes glowing golden as he releases a "flatus" from his palm that misses.
"What does this realm do, child?" Lian says, not turning to Ezra.
"I'm not too sure but you can't die in this realm."
"That's nice..." Helena says, cracking her neck, "we'll just have to kill Leviathan, right?"
"Here's the thing, i think the immortality part works for both sides..." Ezra chuckles nervously.
Leviathan runs at them, Ezra immediatelly gets split in half diagonally with a bone whip before black goo brings him back to life, Leviathan then struck by Huan Lian's sword and thrown up, hitting an invisible barrier that seems to be seperating the fields of swords and the platform.
Leviathan's body suddenly grows large, like a giant, as she swipes with her arm across the whole platform but gets stopped by Lian who put his hand up and clenched his fist making blue light envelop the arm and stop it from moving.
"Hydrokinesis: Tidesplitter!" Helena yells and an enormous water slash decapitated Leviathan who gets revived by black goo much to their annoyance.
"Ezra, now what?!" Helena screams.
"I think i figured it out... I got slightly weaker the last time i died so i'm pretty sure we just have to kill her enough times to weaken her." Ezra shrugs and waves his chain whip away.
"Huh? Why are you getting rid of your weapon?" Helena questions.
"Oh, that... Well... I won't be fighting. I won't fight that thing! And besides, i'm the youngest so i gotta be protected!" He says smugly while Helena stares in bewilderment but doesn't say anything.
Huan Lian runs forward, hitting Leviathan before she can recover. Limbs fly off and blood splashes at Lian until Helena joins in and they collectively beat her to a pulp, perpetually reviving her and killing her as her screams of pain echo through the realm. Suddenly, the realm collapses, Helena, Lian and Leviathan back in their prior positions.
Leviathan drops to her knees, crying out of pain and fear. Her cries are loud and make her seem like a regular child who had only scraped their knee. Huan Lian stares and both him and Helena don't leave their battle ready positions.
While Huan Lian attempts to move forward a tentacle flies at his chest before he can even react but it gets easily blocked by a sword, when they look up at the sword's holder they find Qiang standing with a short sword with a broken blade and a grin plastered on his face.
"Long time no see, eh?!"
