Well, it seems that the man is killed, his head being a puddle and his body utterly pummeled...
Creator of the Avatar Arena and its Discord server.Azura sees the attack coming, and thinks of a certain counter-move she has... but she realizes with her mind blurring, she doesn't have the focus left to cast it, not in time, especially with her energy waning and fires dimming, the now black rune-lines slowly fading and withdrawing. The construct-wings are slowly fading, leaving her falling slowly to the ground, and she lands a little unsteadily. With her first-choice defence, something she thinks could probably tank what Lea has coming, off the table, she instead merely crosses her arms in an X in front of her, and channels what she has left into a flaming barrier of pure crimson energy.
"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it."Thinking quickly, Nyriss blocks the oncoming punch with the flat end of the Agony Blade, though the impact does result in a Knockback Slide that shoves her away from the wind and missiles. The cyborg half-dragon then flashes a menacing smile at Lea.
"Y'know what a good final gift would be? You going right to Hell and not coming back!"
With a draconic roar, she unleashes her Arcane fire breath at Lea.

The two humanoid says at the same time: •How ab out no?• and use their power. •Psion Synchr obarriere Σ!•
A shield start to cover each fighter, capable of reducing a great deal of the damage.
•We urge you to cover yourselves. It's enough to reduce damage, but there will still be some.•
What's the use of money if you ain't gonna break the mold? Even at the center of fire, there is cold All that glitters ain't gold*Somebody flickers into view near the remnants of WG!Verdana's body. It appears WG!Joshua is aware of what happened. And he's not happy with Lea right now.*
"...You will perish with him."
*In addition to what she's got going wrong right now, she'd also likely be now facing a MASSIVE blast of blue flames heading straight for her, fueled by the anger of a man who has seen his brother die.*
The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me."DDIIIEEEEE !"
Her attack is unleashed as a giant white energy wave of some sort, instantly spreading around the entire Arena and making it all dull and grey. The attacks are frozen in time, so are their senders and basically the entire world.
Léa stands up, smirking, and staring at the attack in front of her.
"Time has been frozen."
She draws some blades and start to hum, walking around with a smug smirk.
"You're all defenseless fools." she says. "I will cut you all down before you can even react, and your last moments will be spent admiring my bein-"
Her body starts to shake.
"What ?!"
A white light start to beam away out of her.
"How ? I... I'VE BEEN REGENERATING TOO MUCH !" she says, attempting to cancel the time-stop. Unfortunately, she still has several minutes to go by.
"NOT NOW ! I'VE GOT TO GET OUT ! I-"
Her body cease all movements, with the eyes just becoming white, and just fall to the ground away from the attacks in a dead heap, some saliva coming out of her mouth, along with some blood.

Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterThe time stop, once the effect ends and Lea dies, just seems to leave quite a lot of rubble... although, well, a particular blond-haired man appears from the crater, looking haggard.
"Gah, all that exhaustion really slowed my regeneration..."
He then stops and blinks, seeing a puddle, and then running over towards it. He then quickly winces, but he just looks around nervously.
"Man, I hope I'm not too late..."
He holds out his hand... and a needle sticks out of his index finger, which he inserts into the puddle as he concentrates. This should have a very, very unusual effect on the puddle, to put it simply.
Creator of the Avatar Arena and its Discord server.*...Welp. Since Lea has apparently died without him having to do anything, WG!Joshua just stands there and stares at her fallen body for a few seconds.*
"...You have not suffered nearly enough for my liking. I had better make sure you're truly down for good."
*He proceeds to walk over to the fallen body, raise his sword up high, and then- oh, oh, eeeeeeeeeeewwwwww. To put it lightly, he's decided that basically turning Lea's body into a replica of the Red Skull would be a fitting revenge. Assuming it works as intended and he isn't interrupted, once he's done, he stands up.*
"Beautiful on the outside, but ugly underneath. A perfect metaphor for you."
*Meanwhile, WG!Verdana's body, or what remains of it... On contact with index finger, it begins to vibrate softly. What's happening to it? It seems like it's trying to move...*
The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me....I've got to... She lowers her shield and tries to advance, the flames dimming away, not caring or realizing that others probably have the same idea... but her steps are weak, swaying, and she falls to her knees and then the ground well short of Lea... she clenches her right fist and tries to activate the rune again, and it lights up purple again briefly... but then fades out again. She tries to throw a single Flare anyway, with a wave of her arm... but it spins off-target and eventually fizzles out if it doesn't hit nearby terrain and detonate first. (In theory it could hit someone else by mistake, but the odds are low and I think Azura's already inflicted enough accidental Friendly Fire this fight, so maybe let's not.)
...no... she says, then her head hits the ground and her eyes go blank, dimming and no longer glowing though staying red. She's still breathing, but shallowly, and black blood seeps from her wounds, though not enough to kill or seriously threaten from blood loss alone.

"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it."Ezleni quickly backs off, still appearing somewhat winded (but somehow looking completely okay), before dashing over to Azura, at first scared that she might die... and then checking her breathing and sighing in relief.
In no time at all, he's gone through a building (again, and the poor building is now a mass of rubble) and is back with an entire bag of bandages, already doing what he can to tie up the demoness' wounds.
Creator of the Avatar Arena and its Discord server.Once Lea drops and time is presumably unfrozen, Nyriss just looks around in confusion.
"Um... what the fuck just happened? Because whatever it was, I'm so calling hax on it."
It's at this point that she notices the presumably dead Lea.
"Okay... talk about a major anticlimax. Still, doesn't hurt to be safe."
She walks over to Lea's body, then brings her wrist-mounted laser cannon to bare and fires a couple of shots at her for good measure.

Josh's carving will make him notice some light shaking within Lea's body, it trash around a bit but then stop moving after the double tap.
Lifting her would reveal a large hole in her mouth, and a small tunnel behind her head.

Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterAzura's surface wounds aren't the problem. Sure, they're bleeding, and probably not pleasant, but the internal damage from getting hit into buildings and with superstrength is the real problem.
She's still breathing shallowly, unconscious. The purple rune-mark on her right arm is semi-visible, glowing, but not as brightly as before.

"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it."*There's a pause. WG!Joshua frowns a little.*
"Hmm. That light... Perhaps that was the source of her power. Next time I encounter her, I'll make sure to see if I can specifically go for that light... but her physical stats might be a problem. Can I keep up with that speed and strength for an extended duration?"
*He turns away, walking towards the puddle that WG!Verdana currently is. The puddle continues to move about a little... then, suddenly, a hand forms from the puddle, reaching up just high enough to grab hold of the ground away from the puddle. It shakes a little more... Then, it collapses. However, WG!Verdana's head and a good part of his spinal cord can be seen in the puddle. He seems to be... breathing, somehow. Barely in a state that one would qualify as alive.*
"...Verdana?"
"...Y..."
*The blue-hooded man breathes a sigh of relief.*
"Good, you're still you. I'll get you a new body once it's time to go, okay?"
The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me."I'd do that again... but I'm sort of exhausted. Sorry, miss."
Ezleni just sighs, before plopping down to a sitting position, looking a bit tired.
"Now I'm thankful the villains in my world aren't powerful like me..."
Creator of the Avatar Arena and its Discord server.•We help her?• •Sure. Multiple fractures, internal bleeding in the chest. Face is fucked up. Organism is different from a human or a Gardian.• •Fair enough. Scalpere Self α. I'm putting theses bones back to what they were. You use Healing γ. Okay?• •It's a plan. Anaesthetic injected.•
Azura should feel both pain and relief as the two humanoid put her back together.

What's the use of money if you ain't gonna break the mold? Even at the center of fire, there is cold All that glitters ain't goldShe gives a weak groan, but still seems mostly unconscious. Maybe an instinctual/reflex response. The purple rune may light up brighter, and energy from the rune may flow over their hands and tools, as though checking them out or feeling for their reactions/intentions, before withdrawing back into it.
Her body seems to mostly work like a human's, but there's also magic all through, as though it's a semi-magical construct. Still physical enough to be manipulated normally, though, and have no trouble "interacting with" physical tools.

"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it."A certain black-haired man walks into Azura's view, slowly pulling out a staff. Looking at the state she's in, he directs the tip against her forehead. He appears to be getting a rough overview of her condition through it. He then looks to the two people working on her. "It would probably have been faster to just Mercy Kill her and let her resurrect." He says.
•A life saved is a life more to help. Mercy kills are only for vegetables too damned to live.•
Analysing their intention would reveal only worries and desire to help anything remotely human and good. Except Léa. She had it coming.

The two of them seem to be very silent, the blue-hooded man just looking over at what equipment he has to take back and doing his best to comfort the guy who was wearing red armor. Both of them seem quite concerned and uncomfortable with the situation they're in.*

The Eye Beams pierce her side but she doesn't care, Shira throwing spears push her back though.
Pulling them out, she's attacked by the blade but merely make it phase through her eyes, and then try to punch Nyriss in the stomach, before attempting to throw her to the ground, ripping out a spear to try to empale her with it.
She just divert the wind away by just surrounding herself in a barrier construct but the missile blows it up and drives her off. Nyriss will be struck by both the wind and the missiles if she's not careful though.
"This is useless." she says, after a few moments. "You ruined my show."
She focus power around her hands, a white and black sphere manifesting.
"MY FINAL GIFT." she says, as the meta-humans hide behind a cover, holding an unconscious Lumiaire.
