Season 35, Week 1
Dycedarg Beoulve
(Final Fantasy Tactics)
 
Machiavellic and ruthless, Dycedarg Beoulve eschews foolish morals. His pursuit of power has encompassed the attempted murder of his entire family, and even handing his soul to a Zodiac Demon. Thus, it's most disgraceful that his forays into the Heavy arena haven't amount to anything - even that half-blooded cur Ramza won more matches in the division than Dycedarg. This means that this cantripslinger, this... Dehuai, must be vanquished to wipe away such shame. Well, at least this should be simple: most of his worth revolves around turning his opponents to stone, and Dycedarg easily immunes such tomfoolery. That pretty much seals a victory for the vicious Lune Knight and his brutal swordskills.

Dehuai's the greatest warlock the modern world has ever known, and a sniveling manipulator certainly isn't the one to best the sorcerer. His command over the ancient magical powers of the world will serve him well against Dycedarg: the frail Dycedarg simply can't overcome the sorcerer's brutal slugfesting abilities. No matter how hard Dycedarg tries, there's no escaping a terrible fate. Dehaui's magical power gives him incredible resilience and damage, more than enough to take Dycedarg's pitiful sword strokes in stride. It's time to teach these wannabe backstabbers a lesson! Though his back may be bad and he may walk with a limp, Dehuai's needs no bark to back up his mean bite!

1898 - Shanghai, China.

"Sir... the vile foreign interlopers in our land killed a few more agents today."

Dehuai leaned back, secure in Kuihai Tower's office/torture chamber. "Go ahead."

"Well... two of them seemed especially dangerous. They had powerful magic and transformation abilities. The Ivalacian one- Dycedarg, I believe - seemed to have his power tied to the stone "Capricorn" he keeps around him. The Japanese one was Colonel Ben Hyuga, who I've mentioned to you before- the one who somehow convinced that traitor Liu Zhuzhen to work with him."

"Bah. Fools. Still... it doesn't hurt to be cautious. Perhaps we shall move the date forward on the Demon's Gate Invocation. Still... I think I know something of this Dycedarg fellow. Would it be possible to deliver him a message?"

Dycedarg was already waiting in the seedy backroom of the bar. "So. What have you got? This better be good."

"It most certainly is. I think there's no reason for us to clash with Ivalice right now. An alliance could be more profitable."

"Talk is cheap, old man."

"Indeed. Well then, as a gesture of goodwill, and a proof that our ways are worth something... take this armlet. It will drastically increase your battle capabilities."

Dycedarg looked greedily at this gift. Perhaps not as good as Rofel's stone, but a worthy one none-the-less. He took off his good luck Jade Armlet he'd purchased in Shanghai at the recommendation of the locals, and put on this new prize.

And Dehuai promptly turned him into a stone Dycedarg statue, robbed of his immunity. Now if only Zhuzhen would fall for the same tricks...

Dehuai needs only to summon the Seraphic Radiance to lay waste to Dycedarg. Not even Adramelk could save him from the angel's fury.
