[/center][hider=I lost this round]
There was no more talking to be had. Now, all that stood between the two sword-masters was a vision of what they had lost, and what they were fighting for. For Saria, a chance to die at the end of a blade worthy of ending her life. For Bonesword, it was a chance for redemption against all odds. In some form, it was poetic, and the way this battle would end will undoubtedly be a tragic finale to either of the tales of the two combatants, staring each other down along the shore of this puzzling city. To each combatant belongs a story, complete with a set of joyous ups, and tragic downs, and those very events would define how this battle would result, with the end of a blade embedded within the body of the fighter who would leave their suffering behind.

As soon as the claw pinced, the venom that boiled the insides of Saria's lower body sent her back into her undefined rage, sending her spiraling towards her opponent with blistering speed and aggression. She was out to win, and she wasn't about to let this bony-ass amateur kill her. With all of her sheer power, gifted to her by the mixture of adrenaline from the toxins within her, and from the incredible rage that she felt from a frenzy, she brought her signature blade down from the sky towards the Earth, aiming for the purple helmet adorning the skull of her combatant. She felt confident about the strike, as she could break his skull with a singular punch, so a connection with a sword would definitely send her into a victory.

Unfortunately for her, Bonesword hastily reacted to the actions of Saria by sending both the Shroomblade and his Cutlass into the air above him, keeping the hit from connecting to his skull and, instead, causing the slash to be deflected to the side. Due to a combination of the demonic influence persisting with the Red Blade, and the incidental note that it couldn't cut metal, the Red Blade was sent off to the left of Saria in a spark of green light. With her unsuccessful attack, she sent another attack towards the skeleton, stronger and angrier than before. As she swung her blade, she screamed at Bonesword, making sure to try and strike fear within his soul.

Saria was cut-off in the middle of her cry as a large vine shot out from the side, landing square in her cheek and disorienting her. Bonesword took the opportunity to strike as he connected the Shroomblade to the side of Saria's leg, making a clear dent in the set of armor. Once he finished the strike, Bonesword backpedaled as Saria recovered and followed up with a series of attacks, each one being redirected by either one of Bonesword's blades, or blocked entirely by a thick vine rocketing out of the brush.

It was surprisingly entertaining to watch.[/hider]
