She's one of the most wanted criminals in the world. The first we see of her, she's flying a metal boat.
He's a rich idiot that relies on his magic punch. I doubt he actually has any sort of combat skill.
I somewhat doubt he even knows how to use a sword properly, he left himself wide open with that thrust. He acts tough but that's purely ego.
Never stood a chance really.

I guess it wasn't enough of an edge.

@Bisected - You have to admit she has a point.

The Aristocrat actually did better than what I expected. He got a few swings in and had her dodge a couple of times before she took him out. Sure, it was basically her humouring him, but still.

I don't think anyone expected that to work

To be honest, that went better than I expected.

I expected him to be crushed by girders.

Since she's holding the sword, does that mean Burk can safely extract Pablo from his imminent demise?

@Candor Zofain

Gold doesn't disable magic entirely, it just isn't affected by magic itself.

So, we deserve a hero that's self-absorbed, delusional, and incapable of heroing, eh?
