Twelve bone needles pierced the humid air in a timed together strike.
Each needle was six inches long, barbed like a harpoon, and coated in emerald neuro-bile.
Lu Chen stood firm and took the impact.
He braced his footing, his weight sinking two inches into the spongy hive floor.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
An ear-splitting metal timbre rang through the underground cave, sharp as a temple bell struck by an iron ram.
The Twelve-Layer Iron Bell Body engaged across his chest and shoulders.
The bone needles struck his bronze skin and exploded into harmless fragments of shattered calcium.
