The Soundless Strike

The old man snapped his fingers, and instantly the piano in front of him vanished, replaced by three drums on the ground. 

He sat down and struck one of the drums, creating a powerful sound effect.

Hijoto stood opposite him, ready to fight, trying to stop the sound using his windshield. But the old man continued to play the drums, attacking him with sound waves.

Hijoto strengthened his wind shield and successfully countered the attack.

The old man snapped his fingers again and changed the instrument to a violin. He sat down on the chair and played it, producing a sound so discordant and harsh that it caused Hijoto's ears to ache almost to the point of bursting. He fell upon the ground, covering his ears.

The old man stopped playing, and Hijoto's ears throbbed with pain.

 Then the old man offered him an opportunity, saying, “Alright, I'll let you go if you bring me Lord Zevroth's red bangle. If you don't, I will kill you and take your blue bangle.”

Hijoto seized the opportunity to create a vacuum around himself. He stood up slowly and held his breath, as there was no air in the vacuum.

“Oh, so you still have strength, hahaha. You want to fight more?” The old man mocked Hijoto and played the violin again, but this time the sound waves didn’t reach him due to the vacuum he had created.

The old man was shocked.
