Season 55, Week 3
Brahms
(Valkyrie Profile Series)
 
As a ruler of undead creatures, Brahms has seen all the tricks that Harpies might try to throw out. Sure, Empyrea may be a slight upgrade over harpies, but the Vampire Lord surely has her number here. While her decent physical resistance should ensure that Empyrea will survive for a few turns, Brahms’ near physical immunity will mean that Empyrea’s only hope of damaging him is a puny once-per-round Zap. Anything else will be like a pigeon clawing at a wall. And once Brahms’ Bloody Curse finally activates, no amount of physical resistance is going to save Empyrea from becoming another notch on Brahms’ belt. Bye bye birdy!

A beautiful goddess against an undead monstrosity. Sure, the beautiful goddess may be a giant bird and the undead monstrosity may actually be his world's premier freedom fighter, but the comparison stands. Empyrea's power is overwhelming enough to make even the lord of the undead tremble. Empyrea brings powerful physical and magical attacks backed up by double-acting to the fight. Her outstanding speed and defense will also prove invaluable, as Empyrea is set to sink her talons into Brahms and purify this lost soul with divine avian might. Very bright and colorful divine might, but the end result will still be a dead(er) vampire.

Empyrea lay unconscious in the center of the arena, flat on her back after being inverted and slammed in a single fluid motion from the vampire lord.

The crowd was stunned into silence by this unbelievable turn of events.

After all, everyone thought Brahms had a bit more class then to just flip the bird in public like that.

Brahms: 28
Empyrea: 22
