"Ah!" William grunted, and swallowed a few ounces of water.
The neuro-shock attack utterly failed, and a little fraction of it retracted towards the boy as well. He was alright, of course, but it still felt demotivating to be labelled completely useless after such a light failure.
This ability was the only one he aimed to rely on underwater, but it was apparent that the water's thicker density, acted like a soft, brick wall! It prevented electrical powers from advancing, as it dismantled the attack itself within a few feet of distance!
Throughout this misstep, William didn't hesitate to find some space for a complaint. "How the hell did I even end up down here? I've got a pyramid to build!"
In the meantime, he had felt the piercing glares from the couple of guards. They had already beamed towards the boy, yet still approached with caution.
