Ryuzio found his muscles to still be twitching here and there from the shock of Volta delivered to him by Tash. How had he been able to use a Voltaskill? 'Oh, yeah,' he reminded himself. 'His Shardskill…' But how had it made it past Ryuzio's Surge to this degree?
The answer was grabbing him by the feet. Gel Splash, Tash had called it. A Liquaskill. 'So he also has an Aspect advantage over me, yeah?' Advantage? Blinking, Ryuzio was dumbfounded to realize these were his thoughts. What was he doing? He had to beat Tash to get a bounty, no matter if he had an Aspect advantage or not.
Ryuzio shook his head wildly, shaking off the aftermath of the shock. "Bastard!" He looked around, trying to find the Scavenger Captain so that he could anticipate his next move. But Ryuzio failed to find the man. He wasn't around anymore.
