Still, despite her chances, Nikiya was not one who liked to sit around doing nothing like a child getting a lecture from their parent. She knew she was now likely to lose, but she wanted to waste as much time as possible, if out of spite, or maybe even out of fun. As Elohim spoke, she examined her surroundings, rolling her healed shoulder to test its functionality. Fortunately, during this time, though her condition didn't improve all that much, she had been able to remember how to breathe, though the act itself caused a sharp pain to run through her gut, so she avoided it as much as possible. While she listened to the Lion roar, deeming he would only raise a brow at her actions rather than do anything about them, the Ainur retrieved her second blade from the ground, and slowly yet urgently began to scoot herself backwards on her rear, closing the distance between where she sat and where Uruk was embedded. The chain bound around her right leg rattled lightly with the motions. Once the distance seemed satisfactory enough to her, she dug her blade back into the ground nearby, and also decided it would be best to remove the weapon in her forearm, also burying it shallowly in the ground beside her own blade. She had no answers to her opponent's words. ". . . So I shall be ending this and being on my way," She took a painstaking breath, and then came the snap. Nikiya did not bother to wait and see the arrangement of weapons that would fly at her this time. Placing both hands behind her at a set distance, the wolfos leaned herself back as she pressed her weight onto both arms, further falling to perch on her elbows as her head and torso fell near to the ground. Fortunately, the action she intended to perform placed a majority of her weight on her left and uninjured arm, and in the brief moment she made another attempt to survive. With the momentum of her fall-back, the teen kicked out her right leg into the air, sweeping it to the left in what might have been a kick, or even a dance move, somewhat close to if one was going to cross their leg over the other. With the movement, her body twisted to the left and she held a grimace, but the sound of clinking chains increased her hopes. With her head leaned back, the chain on her leg followed the motion, leaping into the air and swinging over her head like a snake. Since both ends had been restricted, there was no whiplike action, but a portion of the chain threw itself in front of where Nikiya was, intercepting the path of the projectiles flying directly her way, like a makeshift shield. As she completed the motion, her stamina gave way, as she allowed her support to slip, and she fell fully to the ground on her back, out of breath, wondering how much more impossible was this going to get.

[Elohim]

Initially, Elohim assumed this mongrel was just going to accept this fate, or try to deflect them like before. However, her actual tactic somewhat annoyed him and surprised him. Not even bothering to fake it this time, but flat out using his own weapon as a means of defending herself? This was foolishness. He did not intend to allow his own weapon, one of his personal weapons, to be damaged by the tactics of a mongrel. With a single thought, the chain faded from existence, both freeing her leg from it's bind and also eliminating the one thing she was using as a shield against his assault, letting the weapons fly unimpeded at her.

"Fool, trying to use my own weapon against me! Such a thing is a dead man's tactic, but perhaps with your circumstances, it is a fitting move," Elohim commented as he readied his hand, more weapons appearing in the air behind him. He wasn't sure if she would still survive after the barrage, and so he intended to ensure that if she survived, it would not be for long. He was growing annoyed with her antics to survive, and was wishing that she would simply lie down and die like the dog that she is.

Her means of defense gone, her balance lost, there was no way she could have recovered quickly enough to try and block the attack again. As a result, she was impaled again, not just once, but likely thrice. One snagged her shoulder, dangerously near her heart, the next at her right arm, further destroying what little use it was serving with a prior blade already digging into that forearm. The last that struck the most damage found its way near-beneath her ribcage. As if that wasn't enough, a fourth projectile struck the ground dangerously close to her person, just to the side of where her left arm rest. Not close enough to draw blood, but enough to slice through the cloths of her sleeve. Whatever was left of the current array struck the surrounding area, as he had intended to begin with. Upon impact, her body simply jerked, as one would, before laying still on the ground in a mass of blood and steel. Naturally, though Nikiya knew she would not be killed permanently, it was a tournament after all, she could not help but feel a wave of panic trying to creep into her mind. In the state she was in, she heard a voice, but didn't hear what it was actually saying. Mentally shaking herself, she strangled the emotion, and remained motionless as she lay in the battlefield. She put up little resistance to the dizziness in her mind, or the numbness of her senses, but she still didn't want to call this an end. If he stayed away, and she deemed he wouldn't bother wasting the effort to come closer, then maybe, just maybe... Despite being surrounded by her own warm blood, she felt a small shiver down her spine. The Ainur ignored it carefully, closing her eyes, the tiniest of sighs escaping her mouth, and with that, it would seem, a final breath.

(OOC: Nikiya wins due to Elohim forfeiting. Yes. Really. He really forfeited. I am not making this up.)

With the fall of Nikiya as she seemed to draw her last breath, the crowd roared, with most of them yelling at the wolf minish to get back up and give Goldy what people felt he deserved. It seemed the whole thing was over however, and the announcers had noticed this.

"And the winner, by technical knockout is...!"

Elohim however, intercepted, raising his hand and making a grand announcement,

"I quit."

The crowd fell deathly silent. There wasn't a single peep coming from everyone.

"..."

"..."

The announcers stumbled, trying to figure out what the hell was going on, trying to get the right words for this... odd turn of events.

"Uhm... erm... and the winner is... Nikiya Koshkal, the Oathslayer?"

The crowd didn't immediately cheer, instead talking amongst one another before giving a half hearted cheer towards the girl. To be honest, they were caught off guard by the fact the Undertaker had blatantly won, but surrendered at the last second. Fairies however, bound by duty, rushed in to heal the victorious Oathslayer, despite it having been so obviously in Elohim's favor. Either way, she had made it to the second round.
