Well this is a pleasant surprise. Saturos really hadn't been putting much effort into these pointless arena antics so far, but now that he's in the semifinals it's time to see just how far he can go. While Nel might try to take advantage of weakness with her infamous Ice Daggers attack, Saturos will mock it's puny damage even through his weakness, all while proving immune to its dreaded freeze status. So what does that leave? MP Busting? She wishes. Passable physicals? The blinding delusions from Heat Flash will have her swinging at air. The redhead ninja might be skilled, but she's up against a whole 'nother league of opponent in the now fully focused Mars Adept.

The silent, swift and deadly Nel has been slicing her way through the arena in style this season and she's certainly not going to stopped now. Oh no, once again she's running for a season finale and she will ruthlessly cut down anyone, or anything, that tries to get in her way. This will be another quick match, with Nel finishing things in a meager matter of moments. For this show… maybe she’ll try a devastating combo of slicing and dicing with Mirror Slice, with a little extra flash and pizzazz through the use of her ice elemental weapon. A special treat, just for the ice weak Saturos! Can you say overkill? I thought so. Don't blink or you might miss all of the action though!
Ayra To counter an hero, one must think like an hero. For days now Saturos has been anxiously thinking about that situation. The problem is, the only heroes in his world were... Not terribly bright to say the least. He knew that Nel was a tricky one, and he also knew that an all powerful boss like him was more than a match for a single hero. In his thinking, his best bet is to simply not tricked by her, and he'd get a victory that'd make Menardi burn in jealousy.
So, as soon as Farleen came to bring him a proposal, he promptly torched her before she could say anything, but curiosity still took the better of him as he picked up the half-burnt paper. "I wager you 10000 coins that I can beat you without wielding any weapon in the arena. Signed Nel Zelpher."
The insolence! He sent back Farleen's ashes (She's made a full recovery since then) along with his own insult letter. To his surprise, no other tricks came from Nel, and the day of the battle finally arrived...

"So you agree to the terms I sent you?" asked Nel defiantly while standing with her arms crossed in her trademark pose.
"What?" asked a furious Saturos. "You are seriously challenging me without weapons??"
"Correct." said Nel as she took out a large bag and threw it outside the edge of the arena. "Here is the ten thousands of your world coins as mentionned, if I were to lose. And as previously mentionned, I shall not wield any weapon in this challenge."
She removed her Ice Blades from their sheats and placed them on the ground. She then placed an Ice Falchion, and her prized Blades of Ryusen. She even conjured her three ice daggers and placed them on the ground too before offering her hand to Saturos. "Agreed?"
He angrily clapsed Nel's arm: "You insolent little *censored*! You can't defeat me even with your weapons! I will..."
"Is that so..?" interrupted Nel with a sly smile as she used her free hand to grab a secure hold of Saturos' arm.
"Whirlwind!"
The nine icy weapons lying on the ground were suddenly picked up by the whirlwind, shreading through a panicking Saturos. Fortunately for him, the suffering lasted barely a few seconds.
"That's what you get for hurting my subordinate!" huffed a determined Nel as she picked up her weapons and coins amidsts the cheers of Tynave, Farleen and Clair. "Don't forget to pay up for your loss, Saturos!" finished Nel as she left, leaving the bleeding and freezing demon to be tended by the arena medics.
