Oscar had no idea that the mud man would go flying... At all. He was smugly impressed with the spot on kick, but also recognized that his attack had sent Elemental into a more muddy area. The attacks had to be doing something, but they wouldn't mean much if he could regain most of his earthen shell that the kid had worked so hard to tear off chunk by chunk.<br/><br/>While Athena slid through his legs and kicked up at him, Oscar had formulated another plan of attack. While their enemy was distracted by the captain, he got right up in the monster's face and dug his fingers right into the monster's eyes... If he couldn't blind the bastard, he could at least try to tear some of his shell off of his face, and perhaps get one good punch into the fleshy parts.
