Eduardo drew in heavy breaths as the force acting against his blood suddenly weakened, easing the strain in his body.
It wasn't that Andrea had lost her ability altogether. No, It was simply no longer strong enough.
The pressure that had been rupturing through his veins dropped significantly to something his body could now resist.
His healing factor surged in response, stabilizing the ruptured points as he slowly pushed himself up from the ground, one knee pressing into the broken concrete beneath him.
Andrea quickly reacted by opening her mouth and unleashing another sonic howl toward him.
But Eduardo raised his arm over his face, bracing against it as the sound slammed into him.
This time, it didn't send him flying.
Instead, his feet dragged backward across the ground, carving lines into the surface as the pressure forced him back step by step.
Dust kicked up around him, but he held his ground.
