Lian's ears never failed her when she heard the shuffles along the ground from Diety's boots, getting closer and closer before stopping. Peeking out through the thinly lit crack, she could barely see the bottom of his boots just above her. Sighing, she would use the fact he couldn't see her under the rubble. Putting her thumbs tip to tip along with her index fingers doing the same, she concentrated with what little time remained on the clock before he made his move.
One...two...three...four balls of electrified energy began forming around the rubble itself while Lian remained very quiet and very still. Peeking through the crack, she pulled her fingers apart, the balls reacting to it by cracklings, shooting out high voltage strikes of electricity. Since everything was covered in ice and snow,along with the sky being very humid from the storm, himself could be used as a lightning rod.
The electricity reacted, charging the ground with a dangerously high amount of voltage with the snow and ice. Since Diety had the same bodily contents of humans made up of mostly water, she figured, and also had a decent sized cut on his body, the voltage would give him a bit of a...shock, which she used very lightly in the word.

::Hundreds of feet away and still not in the ring, Deity just watches the show of sparks and electric bolts as Lian charges the ground, well out of the danger zone. Though able to tell electricity from another type of energy, the Orinian at first assumes that the display is just a side-effect of Lian's actual maneuver. Only seconds later, with no specific rise in energy otherwise, does he realize that this is what she is intending after all. Strange, he thinks to himself, how everything she does seems to be tied to an element or something.
Likewise letting out a bit of a sigh, and keeping his weight on his right foot instead of his left, he raises his glowing right hand. Gripping his wrist and aiming his palm up, he curls his fingers in gently, closing his hidden red eyes as he begins to focus his gathered ki. In just a moment, the flame-like energy swirling about his palm quivers before suddenly forming into a light pink ball, only five inches in diameter.
Pretending that size matters wouldn't save someone from the force of this one - a compact ki ball isn't necessarily a weak one. While Deity wouldn't be thrilled to waste the attack after he took such care to charge it up, he figures now is as good a time as ever. The storm may start up at any second, but the resulting winds shouldn't be much of a factor in deterring the spheres trajectory.
That in mind, the Mystic Tonepian takes a step back with his right leg as he moves his hand away from the ki ball, which stays in place as it hovers in the air. Lifting his left hand, he seems to take ahold of the floating energy ball, gripping it tightly and aiming the same arm in Lian's direction. Keeping his focus on her, he clenches his right fist, rears back, and then swings it forward in a heavy punch to his attack. With a bright spark, the ki ball is punched down into the ring at nearly thirty-nine hundred feet per second, faster still than the previous Kienzan.
Intending to make contact with the collection of rocks under which the woman hides, the sphere can detonate with a potent force capable of completely obliterating the stone found in the ring. Though boasting a heavy shockwave that could crush a human's bones - not to mention send them careening into the sky - the actual range of the explosion made by the sphere itself is no larger than fifteen feet. Rather small, given the power, but said power is enough to dig a huge circular hole in the floor as if it weren't there at all. Also, should Lian escape her debris pile in time, the pieces of rock being blown away by the detonation would act much like dispersing shrapnel.::

Lian crouched down when she heard the sound of the high pitched reel as something flew very close to where she was taking cover. When it hit, the force was enough to knock her on her bottom and then back into another wall. Being about maybe a ton lighter then Diety, her body was nothing but a piece of cardboard being blown back by a hard and strong gale.
As she hit the opposite wall, she made a large hole in, sending a bit of wall toppling onto her body. Though she let out a weak yelp, she had little time to cover herself up to keep a brick from clonking her on the side of the head. That hurt...
The loss of blood, getting tossed around and having her body wracked to the point she looked 30 years older then she was finally took a toll. She lay under the rubble very still. Lian wasn't getting up any time soon.

::This is one tough cookie. Though she is by no means unaffected, she can surely withstand a lot and stay in one piece. Well, for the most part, anyway. Either way, she seems to be pretty beaten up, the boy thinks to himself as he lifts from the wall edge. Taking flight, he slowly descends along a diagonal path toward Lian, red eyes surveying the damage dealt to the arena. As he expected, there is a rather large hole in the ground, forming a neatly-carved circular indentation in the rocky floor, reaching as low as fourteen feet.
In a few moments, Deity has brought himself to Lian, touching down with a dull thud as his boots hit the stone floor, blown clear of sand by now. Though not surprisingly, even this doesn't quite compare to the workout he and Malazar gave it. Sighing softly, the tall Orinian leans down and reaches with his left hand, slipping his long fingers around the woman's left ankle. As silent as usual, he turns and lifts again into the air, hovering high enough above the ground so that his wounded opponent can't reach the ground, even in the upside-down state that she's in.
Deity now wastes little time, floating in a somewhat more hurried fashion over toward the center of the ring. Once he reaches this spot, should nothing out of the ordinary happen to stop him from doing what he intends, he positions himself over the large ditch made by the detonation of his ki ball. He then lets the lady go with a gentle swing, allowing gravity to take her down, back-first, into the hole.::

Lian, officially out cold, dangled limply like a rope in his hands before being dropped with a thud into a hole. She groaned in her unconscious state, a soft of weak whiney tone to it that someone might have when they're in pain.
Opening her eyes in the dizzy state, she could see many Deity's dancing around despite he was only in one place. Closing them again, she let out a long sigh.
"Not...dead...yet..."She grumbled despite her mouth and eyes being the only thing that could move.

....Deity wins.
::With a sigh of relief, Deity hovers over to the edge of his makeshift hole. He's glad it ended up being as deep as he liked - otherwise, he'd have to fire again. Not that such was entirely impossible, but it's more effort than he really felt like exerting. Either way, it's deep enough as is. Over ten feet below the surface of the ring floor, Lian is officially out of bounds, and thus loses the match. He had to beat her into unconsciousness to do it, but oh well.
Not unlike his first adversary, this lady proved to be a mite harder to deal with than expected. While her tactics were occasionally wanting, her resilience left little to be desired. She survived much more than what the Orinian figured would take her out. Looks continue to be decieving in this tournament. Thankfully, perhaps for both of them, this can end without either of them keeling over in death. Killing wasn't at the top of Deity's priorities.::
