OOC: Since you didn't specify which elemental, I guess I'll go with the earth elemental.
As Irnisc thrust his sword in the earth elemental's back, the blade can go as far as 3 inches. The elemental's stone body has made it impossible for him to stab it, let alone kill it. The earth elemental tried to reach its hands back to grab Irnisc, but is having a difficult time due to its big arms. The arcane elemental, however, is twitching even more violently, any moment now and it could destroy much of the arena, not only killing Irnisc and possibly Lhavram, but possibly most of the spectators. Jarvis and Kairo are still watching in hopes of Irnisc winning, but it seems like he's having trouble so far.
"I fear for your friend, Kairo," Jarvis stated, beads of sweat trickle down his forehead, and his hands clasp together tightly, "If he stalls the fight too long, the blast from that arcane elemental will be devastating."
