Luna's wolf also had a powerful absorption skill now.
It was the ability she'd wanted to use for surprising Ren during the final battle that had never truly begun. A technique she'd been saving as a trump card.
But she'd been using it semi-passively for awhile now during the academy's defense. Absorption occurring almost automatically when mutants entered contact with the darkness the wolf constantly generated.
It was giving her an efficiency flow permitting the wolf to recover energy without needing active concentration on the process. An advantage maintaining the wolf operating at high levels when other beasts were degrading under continuous stress.
The wolf's shadow wasn't just darkness… It was hungry now, drinking in energy from anything that touched it.
Growing stronger as enemies fell into its embrace.
And Luna had felt the difference. The wolf was fresher than it should be, operating above baseline despite hours of sustained combat.
But at what cost?
