Chapter 38: Feral Monster -2
Rhys was on one knee.
His ears were bleeding from the Feral ant’s sonic shriek. The world was silent except for a painful ringing in his head.
He felt the new lifeskill, Internal Resonance, take hold inside him. It was a strange feeling. The painful, destructive vibration that had shaken his bones became a manageable hum.
It was as if his body had learned the frequency of the sound and was now vibrating along with it, cancelling out the damage.
His body’s flawless regeneration kicked in immediately. He could feel the torn tissues of his eardrums knitting themselves back together.
Within seconds, the painful ringing faded. His hearing returned, though everything sounded muffled, as if he were underwater.
’System, what does this skill do?’ he asked in his mind. A blue screen appeared with a clear explanation.
[Internal Resonance (Uninitiated): Allows the user’s body to subconsciously match and neutralise harmful sonic frequencies, greatly reducing damage from sound-based attacks.]
[Burning lifespan to increase mastery...]
[Internal Resonance -> Perfection]
Yuki raised her hand, preparing to end the fight with one of her powerful ice attacks.
"Yuki, wait!" Rhys shouted, holding her hand.
