Zhizhi—
Hidden Rat's ability, Secret Shriek, activated.
Sound waves imbued with Spirituality became psychic spikes that pierced the Wendigo's mind, freezing it in place for an instant.
Then Zhizhi reared up and struck at the Wendigo.
Only now did Hidden Rat reveal its true strength.
It went all out from the start, holding nothing back.
Zhizhi's two scarlet eyes shone through the night like searchlights aimed at the Wendigo.

The Wendigo's memories of the past hour vanished, sending its mind back to an hour earlier.
The Wendigo stopped abruptly. Confusion replaced the ferocity and violence in its eyes.
