Comprehending Sword Intent

"Agh, shit!"

Back at the cavern oasis, the surrounding walls rumbled as bolts of lightning shot out every which way. Faced with the giant lizard's lightning barrage, Ryker had little choice but to dodge and roll around the oasis' perimeter, tossing his boomerangs at the beast every chance he could.

"Damn, it'd be nice if I could get close…" he said, eyeing the luminescent pool warily. The lizard was situated on what appeared to be the root of a giant tree growing down from the ceiling in the middle of the cavern, though the root was withered and spotted with disease.

Still, it made for a perfect point of defense in this cavern with no other form of cover, the beast only needing to turn its head to get an angle on Ryker as he fled.

A flash of green flew across his vision as Mini C's electrical current predictive model warned him of an oncoming bolt, and he ducked underneath as the electrons and protons above joined to complete a circuit.
