"I had expected the mechanical creature to perform better in that bout, I must admit," Yr'Arl said. "Both victories thus far have been unexpected things, the opposite of how they might first appear."
I had to agree. I'd definitely expected the robotic squid to do a much better job. If you were going to upload your consciousness into a metal body, you'd expect some of the benefits of doing that to be increased battle power. Otherwise, what was the point in doing it in the first place?
Either way, that clearly hadn't been the case with Klatissi. They had been overwhelmed by a similar opponent that completely countered them in every way possible. Their tentacles had been stronger, and their ability to absorb beam attacks had put Klatissi on the back foot immediately.
"It's been pretty cool though," I weighed in. "Seeing so many different fighting styles, I'm really looking forward to getting in there myself!"
