Titan Rumble Ch 33: The Power Of Body Enhancement!
🕑 Added 2025-08-05 21:42:39 +0000 UTCCain's eyes narrowed as he watched Aurora begin to change.
It started with her body—her lean, athletic frame began to bulk up all the more, muscle mass blooming across her limbs like someone was slowly turning a dial. Her arms thickened, her shoulders broadened, and her posture shifted—less light on her feet now, more grounded, more solid. She looked like she was being reforged, right there on the battlefield.
Her crimson aura, already violent and loud, began to spiral higher, wider, licking the sky like a wildfire with a grudge. But then—suddenly—it stilled. Like a storm that had remembered its purpose.
The chaos collapsed inward, condensing around her, hugging her frame like a tight second skin. Controlled. Intentional. Every movement she made now was sharp, deliberate.
Cain's eyes widened as her black hair began to shimmer at the tips, then burned red—vivid and fierce, the same hue as her aura.
The ground beneath her feet began to tremble.
Cracks split outward from where she stood, crawling like spiderwebs across the concrete. The air grew heavier, hotter.
Then, without warning, Aurora vanished.
Cain's mouth barely moved. "What?"
And that was all he got out.
CRACK!
A flash of motion. Then pain.
A fist slammed against his cheek like a sledgehammer. Cain didn't even see it coming. The impact twisted his head, and then his body followed—lifted clean off the ground and hurled through the air.
He blasted through the side of a building like a cannonball, stone and metal crumbling in his wake. The shock of it rattled through his spine, his ribs, his brain. He kept moving, bouncing across the street like a thrown ragdoll, every hit sending up miniature quakes with rippling shockwaves that buckled the pavement.
Cain finally skidded to a stop when his back crashed against another thick wall.
It cracked but held.
He hunched over, panting, the taste of blood thick on his tongue. A long gash trailed down his temple, blood dripping slowly from his brow. He blinked hard, trying to get the blur out of his vision.
Footsteps echoed toward him, heavy but measured.
Aurora emerged through the dust, walking like she owned the whole damn world.
She looked like a walking weapon—skin glowing faintly from the pressure of her aura, her muscles taut and coiled with strength. Her red hair waved behind her in the breeze like a war banner.
Her eyes were dead set on him.
"This," she said, stopping just a few steps away, "is an advanced aura technique. We call it Body Enhancement."
Cain coughed and wiped the blood from his chin, smirking despite the ringing in his ears.
She continued, "It builds on what we already have—our strength, speed, durability—and multiplies it. Makes an Alpha into a force of nature. You're strong, Cain, but this is what a real warrior looks like at full power."
Cain let out a breathless laugh.
"Okay..." he muttered. "That's kinda badass."
His hand trembled as he pushed himself up from the cracked stone, one foot bracing against the wall behind him. He stood slowly, swaying just a bit—but the grin on his face was growing, stubborn and wide.
As he steadied himself, his body began to emit a soft, golden glow—subtle at first, but then brighter, pulsing with heat and power.
The air around him began to hum.
Then vibrate.
Cain's entire frame started to shimmer, vibrating at a frequency just slightly out of sync with the world around him, like he was on the verge of tearing loose from reality itself.
Aurora squinted. "You're not serious."
Cain rolled his neck. "Dead serious."
She scowled. "Whatever tricks you've got left, Cain, they won't be enough. This isn't a game anymore. I'm not holding back."
Cain slipped into his stance—feet firm, hands raised, the glow around him intensifying until it looked like his body was cracking with radiant energy.
"We'll see," he said.
Cain stood still, breathing slow and measured as Aurora's laughter faded into a focused hush. Her expression twisted into something darker, more primal. With a shake of her head and a soft, almost pitying giggle, she launched forward without warning—a streak of red lightning ripping across the ruined battlefield.
Cain's eyes snapped shut.
He wouldn't see her.
He couldn't.
Not at this speed.
His father's voice echoed in the back of his skull—rough, blunt, and always edged with iron. "Your eyes lie when your fear is louder. Feel the moment, Cain. Feel them, not just their steps."
The world around him slowed as he dug deep. The wind shifted. A crackle of static licked across his skin. The ground trembled beneath the soft whisper of the Alpha's bloodlust rushing in like a crashing tide.
And then—he felt it.
Like a shadow brushing against the edge of a flame, her presence flared to life right in front of him. His body moved on instinct, guided not by sight but by sensation, by pure reflex forged through pain and relentless training.
CRACK.
Aurora blinked.
One second, her fist was mid-swing, screaming toward Cain's chest.
The next... her arm was gone.
Not broken. Not severed. Just—
Gone.
Her body skidded to a halt several meters away, boots kicking up shattered stone as she spun around in wide-eyed confusion. "What the!?"
Panic clawed into her voice as her crimson-enhanced muscles rippled. She stared at the space where her arm should have been—where it still was, technically, just not to her perception.
Across from her, Cain stood completely still. His body pulsed faintly with violet light, flickering like a dying star. His hair drifted gently in the breeze, and a thin trail of blood ran down the side of his face—but his eyes were calm now.
"I didn't destroy it," he said quietly, voice low and steady. "So you don't have to worry."
Aurora's breathing quickened.
Cain slowly raised a hand, pointing toward her missing limb.
"That's the power of my ability..." he said.
"...The power of Personal Nonexistence."
