Chapter 156 - Taming Defeat

Instead of escaping toward the entrance, Liu dove directly at Harold. His eyes glowed with determination while remembering Ren's lessons:

"Sonar isn't just for detection," his friend had told him. "Concentrated and at the right distance, it can disorient, stun..."

The cry that emerged from Liu was like nothing Harold had experienced. The sound waves, amplified and concentrated by the beast, hit his nervous system like a hammer. 

Too effective against his beast's heightened perception.

He staggered, his antennae involuntarily retracting from the attack. His vision blurred while his brain tried to process the sensory overload.

Liu descended, his hand extended toward the wrapped figure.

He was so close...

So close that he was distracted for an instant.

The movement above Harold went unnoticed until it was too late.

It wasn't an antenna.
