You tell Foil Rosier that it was nice meeting him, but have to go watch the next match.
Foil Rosier: “Yes, it promises to be entertaining. I believe I will be joining the audience, myself. Be well.”
You bid farewell to Foil Rosier before he leaves, then you turn your attention to the match as it begins.
Much like during her previous match, Gerwalta immediately assumes a bipedal stance, and wields her spear with both talons. This time, however, she doesn’t wait long before pouncing toward the colossal pony, and unleashing a barrage of slashes and thrusts at him.
Unable to find an opening, Steadfast remains on the defensive, and catches all of the griffon’s attacks with his impenetrable body shield. After a couple of minutes, however, Gerwalta begins to use the end of her spear’s shaft to ram his shield, knocking him backward ever so slightly with every hit.
Following a relentless combo of destabilizing strikes, Gerwalta throws a final kick, and Steadfast tips over. The giant slowly but surely falls onto his back, lifting a cloud of dust over the arena. Soon, the dust clears to reveal the griffon standing atop his chest victoriously, the tip of her blade pointed at his muzzle.
Announcer: “It looks like Steadfast the Immovable has met an unstoppable force! Unbelievable! Gerwalta the Gladiator wins the match!”
The two contestants bow respectfully before an ecstatic crowd.
Announcer: “And now, for our next qualifiers, we have: Starshooter versus Raindancer!”
