Sound Powers Novels & Stories

If the problem was discord, the solution had to be perfect harmony. "We cannot use elemental power, but we can use elemental resonance," I decided. "We need to create an audible language that conveys the absolute order and stability of our Alliance, but delivered entirely through sound." I worked with Kaelen to design a unique, technologically-generated signal the Resonant Chord. The Foundation, A continuous, low-frequency sound that mimics the deep, unwavering thrum of Drax's Earth AnchorConveying Permanence. The Structure, An intricate, repeating geometric pattern of high-pitch notes that represent Lyra's Ice-Discipline Conveying Order or Purity.

Shocked by the unexpected attack, she then heard Jayson's voice filled with frustration and anger. "Can you stop fu*king making me feel so pathetic, Hattiea? I am here to fu*king talk!"

​The moment our perimeter guards close the circle, the air shatters. ​A high-pitched, vibrating shriek rips through the valley—a sound so violent it feels like an iron needle being driven straight through my ears and into the center of my brain. The acoustic cannon. The frequency hits my system like a physical blow, throwing me to my knees in the snow. My amethyst vision blurs into a chaotic, spinning grey fog, and my wolf shrieks in agony, her silver-and-violet energy retreating into the deep recesses of my marrow as the sound wave dismantles our tracking senses. ​Around me, the Southern warriors drop, their hands flying to their ears as their partial transformations collapse back into huma

It all blurred together. The bond stood out, though. Amplification, he’d called it. Through my haze of pain, searing agony lighting up each of my nerves individually until I felt like it must be visible through my skin, jagged lightning patterns—through all of that, I heard him telling me. How magic functioned like any other kind of energy, how it had a wave pattern. How that pattern could be amplified, the frequency the same but the power of the energy output increased. That energy crackled through my bones and electrified my teeth, my back arching and my lungs raw from the shrieks it tore out of me.

No more words needed. This was real.

She stood twenty feet from the front line of masked wolves. She could feel a strong surge of energy brewing inside her as the wind blew her hair. A heavy piece of rebar whistled through the air, narrowly missing her shoulder. Nadia didn't flinch. She took a breath, and closed her eyes, letting the energy spiral. when she spoke, it came with lightining strikes and heavy force. "SILENCE!" The word vibrated. It was a sonic wave that cut through the shouting, the chanting, and the crackle of the fires. Burning flames on tires instantly blew out. It carried a Command—the kind of vocal frequency that forced the wolf inside every listener to stop and submit.

The frightening soundwave shook Sir Osborn, Paxton, and the other regular Osborn family members into bleeding out of their orifices and falling to the ground. Swenson looked shocked. “Is that Sydartha Society’s Titanium Leo-roar?” Hank Veal’s signature skill? Kayson knew it as well?! Judging by how he had executed it, he was close to completing the practice, and even grandmasters could not possibly overlook the effect of the soundwave. “Hah!” Valdis shouted, dispelling Kayson’s soundwave with wrathful eyes that looked like they could spit fire. “Kid, you’re provoking me!”

His fingers danced across the abacus, sending out eerie, clashing sounds. A sonic assault! There were legends of weapons that used sound to kill, like the Lion's Roar, the Magical's Strain, the Iron Magic's Cry, and the Soul-Capturing Flute. All were powered by the wielder's vital energy, and the abacus was no different.

Chu Xun used to find their attacks mundane, yet what he saw piqued his interest greatly. He thought they were just using some kind of sound wave attack, yet, in fact it was the technique of sound manipulation. That was a very precious technique, which allowed one to attack by manipulating sounds in any form. This attack did not make any sound, nor did it exist in any physical form, yet it could trigger tremendous powers. At this moment, Chu Xun arched one eyebrow slightly and shifted away again. "Boom!" Another sound blade pierced the spot he was standing. It was so powerful that even more cracks appeared on the ground.
