Season 48, Week 1
Diekbeck
(Arc the Lad Collection)
 
Diekbeck may normally look like a little dusty tin robot, but insert customized AI into his hard drive and he becomes quite the fighting monster. Although robots haven't been having the best of luck in Godlike lately, Diekbeck is determined to show that they are still a force to be reckoned with. While Chris' Silent Lake may make life hard for the magic-reliant mechanoid, he has a few important advantages. His excellent speed could easily give him the first shot, which gives the option to use Invincible to help mollify Silent Lake, or Rob Mind to kill some of Chris' magic charges. Of course, with his monster HP and defense, Chris' sword may have issues even scratching his exterior, meaning all he has to do is survive a few turns and then wreak havoc.

The Silver Maiden brandishes her trusty blade and harnesses the benevolent might of the True Water Rune once again! While her opponent may be a versatile, annoying robot... pencil... thingy, it's certainly no match for the elegant swordfighting that Chris Lightfellow sports. More to the point, the heavily magic-reliant Diekbeck fears Silent Lake like very little else: not only it seals his spellcasting, it lasts a while longer than his Invincible spell, leaving him open to free strikes from the Silver Maiden. And Diek's physical is not only poor, but as inaccurate as Euram Barows' MIGHTY SWINGS. As such, Chris will easily outpace Diekbeck's frame with the swift meshing of her fast Silent Lake and her sword strikes. An auspicious start after a long absence.

In a silent, spellbound arena, no one can hear the horrific grating noise that cutting through solid metal produces.

Diekbeck wasn't about to let this happen to him.

---

"...so...he rigged up a microphone to transmit the horrible sound via metal conduction rather than through the enchanted air?" Shante said, confused.

"WHAT? I CAN"T HEAR YOU OVER THIS DAMNED NOISE!" Elc yelled, as the horrible piercing shriek cut through the arena.

"Never mind." Shante shrugged.

"WHAT!?"

And so, Diekbeck lost.

But hey, at least everyone got to hear his defeat. Which was, to him, only fitting.

It's not like Diekbeck makes much sense in general.

Diekbeck: 9
Chris Lightfellow: 30
