Chapter 75: Ice Walls
Elara barely had time to react. The instant the pulse round struck Yusuke, her instincts flared. She twisted her body, pressing hard against the ship’s interior as another shot fired straight toward her head.
Her boots scraped against the metal floor, legs coiling like a spring before she propelled herself forward. The moment her heel left the surface, the pulse round sizzled through the space she had occupied half a second earlier, slamming into the hull with a sharp burst of scorched metal.
Her suit’s AI kicked in, the voice humming softly in the back of her mind.
[Vitals Normal | Energy Flow Stable]
[Suit Sync 100% | Response Time Optimized]
Good.
The instant her mind willed it, the suit responded.
A surge of bioelectric energy pulsed through her limbs, micro-hydraulic actuators igniting like coiled springs.
The briefest pressure shift in her stance triggered an explosive reaction—her muscles amplified beyond human limits, her body accelerating faster than instinct alone could carry it.
Her right foot struck the hull.
The impact sent a shockwave through the suit’s frame, dispersing excess force while using the rebound to slingshot her forward.
