Then—his fist flew forward.
CRACK—BAOOM!
He punched the very air, using Resonant Overdrive to channel stored kinetic sound into a concussive blast. The wave struck Whispercoil mid-note, sending her spiraling across the arena.
But she recovered.
She sang again—this time a discordant harmony that reversed gravity in a blink, sending Leon floating upward as if drowning in invisible water.
He countered by snapping his elbow back, releasing stored kinetic force from earlier in the duel. The pulse broke the effect and hurled him downward—straight toward Whispercoil.
He twisted in midair, a Shell Reverb-pivot turning his fall into a diving strike.
BOOM!
He slammed into her, and the platform cracked under the impact. The vibrations detonated under her skin—enough to short her resonance. Her spiraled mask fractured.
A final note trembled from her lips—weak, fading—then silence.
Leon stood over her as the vibrations settled. No cheering this time. Just reverent quiet.
