'What the fuck was that?' Zaeryn thought, his mind frantic as the sequence replayed in his head. She had just shot him down with her own energy beam, something functionally identical to his Concussive Blast, only hers was a terrifyingly deeper shade of blue.
And he didn't know how much he'd hurt her, but Mireille's hit had hurt him like nothing else.
'Does she have similar powers to mine?' he asked himself.
First there was the speed, and now this? She had to.
The system text flashed a prompt, answering his internal query with brutal honesty:
> Target: Mireille (Tier 2 Veteran Powerhouse)
> Confirmed Ability: Concussive Blast (Estimated Class: A)
> Warning: Target output vastly outscales Host Class F efficiency. Host lacks defensive matrix to neutralize high-tier kinetic payloads.
