Knocked backwards from the blast, the stream of electricity fizzles out in time with Ishtar's own grunt of pain, and annoyance; the only benefit to the blow coming in the fork of a slow trickle of energy that fed into her reserves.
Unfortunately, for the moment however, there was little Ishtar could do to counter the woman; so with another grunt she launched herself at Glacia intent to buy time for Tasure, and Ochazuke.
OT: So long as Araska remains active, any damage received from enemies will increase Ishtar's PL by 50% up to a total of 5x her current PL. Current PL w/1 charge: 2,587,500.
