Season 46, Week 5
Empyrea
(Dragon Quest 8)
 
Three impressive fighters lay in her wake, but the godbird Empyrea shows no signs of slowing down. Zenon, the feared Overlord of Overlords, one of the most powerful demons in a universe full of powerful demons. But Empyrea has faced down the dark lord Rhapthorne. She fears no demon, no matter their power. But can the same be said for Zenon? The fearsome Overlord may be in for more then he bargained for against the Godbird. Her defense will force Zenon to rely on his significantly less fearsome magic, while her own mighty talons will squeeze the life from his demonic body. There is little in this world or any other that can overcome an angry mother. For every child this demon has injured, for every family he has broken, Empyrea will fight!

The overlord of overlords has proven again why so many fear and worship him. In his debut season, he's defeated opponent after opponent, and he won't stop until this birdbrain goes down too and he claims the championship he deserves as Overlord of Overlords. She may be a godbird, but Zenon has faced down many a god-powered opponent and lived to tell the tale. Empyrea's evadable physical damage must get past Zenon's excellent defense and evasion, while Zenon's variety of magical spells will be sure to wreak havoc on his feathered opponent. Empyrea may have impressive physical defense, but magic toasts her tail feathers quite nicely. A few spells, and Zenon will have accomplished the feat of winning a championship on his first visit to the arena.

Godbird vs Overlord God. Epic. So who wins?

Let's all remember one thing: For all his hype, Zenon's a bag of wind. Empyrea isn't. When a windbag and the real deal collide...a lot of hot air gets spewed out. Curse or not, Zenon's going down.

Empyrea: 19
Zenon: 16

Empyrea's way of handling this was quite simple.

She wandered over to the Cave of Ordeals.

No, no, it's not quite what you think.

With the simplest of cunning, she simply taunted Zenon by saying he couldn't possibly beat a single Zombie.

Then recruited a Zombie King.

Needless to say, Zenon was not terribly happy.

How does a mystical bird recruit a Zombie King?

You'd be amazed how annoyed those things get when you back off and snipe them with magic on their little island.

...Well, I didn't say which Cave of Ordeals she went to.
