Season 55, Week 1
Elc
(Arc the Lad Collection)
 
Elc may not be the traditional Godlike welcome of pain that the upgrading Heavy often gets to face, but that doesn’t mean he lacks what it takes to give Naoto a good introductory beatdown. Sure, Naoto has potent ID and can twink to get very fast, but all that twinking can’t stand up to Bravery Wings. Elc is the only castmember with an equip to boost his already high speed to lightspeed levels, making it easy for him to outrace the kid detective. And then the simple strategy of alternating Invincible with damage or Mind Buster should not only neuter Naoto’s attempts to kill him, but it will soon leave her unconscious or bereft of resources! Elc is determined to make sure that the girl detective gets shown the proper Godlike welcome match after all.

In a surprising turn of events, Naoto Shirogane managed to win a Heavy championship and upgrade to the DL's highest division, right where her good leader Souji hangs. Naoto has a lot to prove in her Godlike debut, but she has a task within her grasp to show some clout. The mercenary adventurer Elc, in spite of his plentiful bag of tricks, lacks resistance to instant death - entirely crucial to handle Naoto's mastery of light and dark. While his Invincible spell can stall his demise for a while longer, as soon as he lets his guard down, a timely aimed Mudoon will have him falling to the sweet embrace of defeat, like so many before him have done. The "Detective Prince" has done quite well to come this far, and she's not about to fold after such a showing last season!

Souji's reputation in the arena had already grown to legendary levels. When Elc found out that he was fighting a teenager from Inaba, he understandably panicked.

Then Elc looked closer and saw Naoto. A good belly laugh resulted, along with a quick victory over Miss Shirogane with Invinicble and spear beats. How in the hell -did- Naoto upgrade anyway?

Elc: 16
