As the group climbed higher into the tower, they noticed a significant decrease in the number of Abominations they encountered. It was as if they were being funneled towards a specific destination, and the Abominations were being held back to allow them to reach it.
As they turned a corner, they were met with a familiar face - Carmella, the woman who took Levi. She stood calmly, her eyes fixed on the group with an unnerving intensity.
"Welcome," she said, her voice dripping with malice. "She have been expecting you. You're just in time to witness the final act."
The group's eyes narrowed, their hands instinctively going to their weapons. They knew that Carmella was not to be underestimated, and they prepared themselves for a fierce battle.
"Where's Levi?" Cain demanded, his voice firm and commanding.
Carmella smiled, her eyes glinting with amusement. "Oh, Levi is just fine. He's...indisposed at the moment. But you'll see him soon enough."
The group exchanged wary glances, their senses on high alert. They knew that Carmella was hiding something, and they were determined to find out what.
Just as the group was about to attack Carmella, a figure emerged from the shadows. He was a man with a grotesque appearance, his body seeming to shift and flow like a liquid. He introduced himself as Ooze, and his power was unlike anything the group had ever seen.
Ooze's eyes gleamed with a malevolent intensity as he demonstrated his abilities. He reached out a hand and touched the metal railing of the stairway, and to the group's horror, it began to melt and flow like liquid. He then turned his attention to a nearby puddle of water, summoning it to form into a wave that crashed against the group.
"You're not going anywhere," Ooze sneered, his voice dripping with malice. "Carmella has a plan for you, and you're going to see it through."
The group was caught off guard by Ooze's abilities, and they stumbled backward as he advanced on them. Carmella smiled, seeming to enjoy the group's discomfort.
"Let's see how you handle someone with a little more...fluidity," she said, her eyes glinting with amusement.
The group knew they had to think fast if they were going to take down Ooze and Carmella. They prepared themselves for a fierce battle, knowing that Ooze's powers would make this fight unlike any they had faced before.
