Gnihzur was still going strong in his battle against the Photon Guardian, Aluzar Lupaz Zinum. He had grown accustomed to the feel of combat against a superior foe. He also learned various techniques and tricks that were doing well to assist him in gaining the upper hand. One of these techniques was Smooth Ripple.
Smooth Ripple commanded all the cells in his body to flow much looser. With this skill active, he could avoid fatal blows by simple redirecting them or allowing them to flow right through him entirely.
Gnihzur was making good use of Smooth Ripple to escape Aluzar's multiple tails entrapment. Every time he was trapped by them, this skill would set him free. He died a few times to pull it off successfully. Now that he could use it more adroitly, Gnihzur overcome the difficult obstacle of the Pixel formation that surrounded Aluzar and approached his upper body.
