Season 55, Week 2
Elaine
(Suikoden III)
 
Elaine has the savvy and the skill to make it big in the Duelling League grounds. And while a few venomous tongues whisper rumors about her face being less than stellar, the swordslady knows better than to let those slithering vipers bother her! Heck, in fact, she's just going to beat one of those snakes down: the generic evil wizard Nergal is just your run-of-the-mill evil magician with a build of a twig and questionable dark powers to draw from. Too bad for him he's utterly helpless without his magic, because a Silent Lake should be all Elaine needs to thwack Nergal upside the head with reckless abandon. Now, let's see who's the real dogface!

So this puny woman thinks that her pathetic little water rune will protect her from Nergal's mighty magic, does she? HAH! Surely the legendary tome Erishkigal cannot be shut down by such common mortal magics? Right? Of course it can't. That would be silly. Nergal's just going to have to run with that theory since it's really all he's got in the face of every Fire Emblem mage's worst nightmare: Silent Lake. The good news is that his defenses are incredible and may let him survive to get in some attacks of his own, and if he does they are going to hurt like little else. Will that be enough to let him win against a Water Rune? Only time will tell.

Silent Lake was up. Nergal's might magic had been shut down and hard. He was out of options, unable to use his power to stop this puny little woman from poking him to death with her tiny sword. It was so unfair. Nergal was the better fighter, Nergal was the stronger Middile, Nergal was the only one of the two who could even hope for a championship. But he is the one who was getting beaten in the very first round by one insidious little trick. It was just too much. It was one thing to be foiled by an archsage and a bunch of heroes he was giving legendary weapons to, but quite another to be taken down by some random mercenary.

His ego simply couldn't take it. Somewhere, something inside the Dark Druid snapped. With bloodshot eyes, he raised his mighty tome above his head and let loose a primal scream of battle...

"BOOK ATTAAAAAACK!!!!"

So it turns out that Erishkigal is really heavy and hurts quite a bit when flung by a rampaging druid.

Of course, getting hit by a flying book only made Elaine mad so she beat him even harder, but hey, at least he went down fighting.
