Round 8, fight 3.
Milady Chonchonlia Quinthea V Sir Orvald de Martelam
While Orvald was advancing toward Chonchonlia, she effortlessly shot at the Bastion. It seemed the fight should have ended there, turning into a typical ranged attack on a melee fighter. But everything played out according to a completely different scenario.
The Knight of Milk Chocolate hurled a pumpkin at her opponent, capable of both paralyzing and setting the target on fire. But this looked more like an attempt to dirty the armor of the Knight of the Golden Tower than to cause him any real harm. And the man clearly didn't care. This visibly shook Chonchonlia's composure; the girl looked extremely displeased with this outcome.
Continuing to maintain distance, she flew in again and again to throw her pumpkins, which Orvald completely ignored. A slight smirk could be seen on the man's face, while Chonchonlia began to grind her teeth in frustration.
Realizing the pumpkins were getting her nowhere, the girl decided to change her strategy and switched to a bow. A hit! But this scratch barely affected Orvald; the Knight of the Golden Tower remained unshaken. This threw off the Knight of Milk Chocolate, and she decided to try the pumpkin again. Once again, no result.
The longer the battle went on, the more Chonchonlia wavered and made mistakes. And Orvald, who wasn't even trying to expend energy on the fight, looked so calm and self-confident that he began to almost perfectly live up to his title.
For a while, the Knight of Milk Chocolate would shoot and then throw pumpkins after a hit. Then she started using only the bow. But the more her spirit sank, the more often she missed. Realizing that this knight was too tough for her, Chonchonlia lowered her weapon and announced that she was surrendering. Thus, without doing absolutely anything, Orvald claimed yet another victory.
Note: The tactic of inaction against a hail of arrows looked impressive. However, I don't think it could be pulled off against absolutely every opponent. For example, such mocking smiles only rile me up. The Knight of the Gloomy Sky, it seems, wouldn't have backed down either. Rather, on the contrary, he would have hastened to set the opponent on fire with a wyvern and circled at shooting range. Nevertheless, for weak-spirited people, the Knight of the Golden Tower is a formidable opponent.
