[b][color=92278f]"I'd be insulted if you didn't,"[/color][/b] Bonesword called as he recovered from the hit. He was surprised that Saria managed to overpower his defense, but he was glad to be free from that deadlock. Bonesword knew that the vines wouldn't be enough to take her down on their own, so he had to try and switch to the offensive if he was going to do anything to her, although that may have been a stretch. The skeleton ran from his enemy, due to his decision that it'd be unwise to attack head-on and try to beat his opponent in a match of strength, although he could probably whittle her down with a flurry of surprising attacks.

Saria on the other hand, was a bit annoyed that her opponent managed to evade his death for the time being, but she didn't worry about it. She would still manage to come out on top and put the swordsman out of his misery. These walls were simply plants, and they could be destroyed just as easily as any other plant. With this, Saria took the Red Blade and hacked it at the wall of plants beside her, cutting / burning a nice hole for her to cross through, popping her out on the other side and directly in front of her opponent. Bonesword was caught off guard by the sudden arrival of his foe, but took her appearance as an opportunity to throw his cutlass at her... which she dodged instinctively, although it was a very close dodge at that. [color=red]"That would've hurt, had you not missed me completely."[/color]

The cutlass was fortunately still close enough for Bonesword to grab, if he ran for it, but that would be a longshot unless he could get around her. Unfortunately for him, however, as he tried to run to grab his cutlass, Saria held out her sword and obstructed his path, which caused Bonesword to donk his head into the side of the blade. He was sent backwards by the sudden appearance of the blade, and remained dazed for a while as Saria began to speak to him. She didn't know what to really say for sympathetic purposes, but she did know what her last words to him should be.

[color=red]"I'll make this quick, so you don't have to wait for your end."[/color] The Red Blade was raised into the air above Saria as she prepared to strike, with the impact being a surefire way to guarantee her victory and for her to move onto the next round. As she brought the Red Blade down towards Bonesword, the skeleton rolled out of the impact area, not losing his head, but rather detaching his right arm from its socket. Although Bonesword did manage to get back up, he was caught by the Red Blade yet again with another strong hit connecting to his armor and denting it yet again.

Saria watched as the Fungal Knight held his sword tightly in his left hand, still not giving up. In a way, she was kind of thankful that her opponent was someone like him. Despite the clear disadvantages he had, and his dangling sleeve in the wind, he wasn't giving up. Still, she wasn't about to let him win, as she ran over towards him and brought her blade down for another strong slash. Repeating the same thing as before, her opponent brought his sword back up and re-engaged the deadlock, both swordsmasters fighting for domination over the other. He might have been down an arm, but Bonesword still held up just as well as the first one, although Saria could see that he was having a harder time keeping up as well as she was. It must've been the nature of his blade keeping him from outright being decimated, as the force from the drainage of power kept the blades shaking.

A distance away, where the skeleton's cutlass rested, a large vine wrapped around it and lifted it into the air. With one swift motion, the vine threw the cutlass back towards the two dueling swordsman, and the sword embedded itself within the shiny suit of armor that Saria was wearing, right in between the split between what would be her shoulder and her right arm. The sudden and sharp pain sent into her body by the sword in her shoulder caused her to wince and loosen up, allowing Bonesword to overpower her. The advantage in the deadlock gave him an opening which let him deliver a strong kick to Saria's abdomen, sending her directly into the sandy ground... right on top of his detached arm.

[b][color=92278f]"Fuck,"[/color][/b] Bonesword muttered as he felt his arm crack, despite it being detached. There was no way he could repair that if he won. Hopefully he could find a suitable replacement after this battle.
