Quickly glancing at the staff in Nelphy's hand and the ground in front of her, Chowan blinked in amazement.
Zzzrrch! Chting!
While Chowan shot at Reece and parried Zac's attack, Chowan marveled at how the masked girl was still standing and able to fight. "You guided some lightning away with a stream of water leading to the ground. And you somehow blocked the lightning that still hit you? …"
Nelphy didn't respond. But the answer was obvious. She had to use one of her sash's two water pouches just to divert some of the lightning away. If she hadn't done that, even her channeling wouldn't have saved her from a critical injury. Despite the water and veita healing her skin, Nelphy was fighting her twitching muscles and the lingering static that was slowly getting worked out of her body.
*It's like fighting a gold-bounty beast. At least…* Nelphy's mind quickly put Chowan's power into a scale she could fathom.
