Well, the sword conducted the bolt much more effectively then he thought it would have, but the knight was silly if he thought he'd be able to attack Zyler with his own element. The rouge bolt didn't make it very far before Zyler manipulated the arc and caused it to fork out in every direction, bend skyward and then back in on itself, striking true on it originally intended target. Of course, this is lighting we're talking about, so that all took place in a mere millisecond.

"Who's the man!!!" Zyler called out to his adoring fans, throwing up his arms triumphantly, for which they answered back with a resounding cheer. Of course, he figured Judo wasn't out of the game yet, and kept a close eye out for his next attack.
