Chapter 218: And the Winner is...

Shelia slowly standing up from the ground despite the pressure from Angela's wind.

We also slowly no longer feel the wind thanks to Angela controlling her magic. Since Shelia is already down, instead of attacking a huge area, she concentrates only on pushing Shelia down on the spot. That's why we no longer feel the wind, and Mustache stopped casting his wind shield.

To think that Angela can do this while still intermediate level. First, she used a large-scale magic. Then she concentrates all that magic on one spot. No one taught her about it. She's just too much of a genius. If only she were a bit smarter in other area…

Well, no point in thinking it that way. She's strong because she's like this. That's all there is.

Shelia must have felt that the wind is getting stronger and it's harder for her to stand up. So, she transformed into a Werewolf. And this time, it's no longer a partial transformation. It's a full transformation.

Since she's wearing bikini-like clothes, it's easy to tell her transformation. Previously, the others can't see Jack's legs since they are covered with his pants. But now, everyone can see that Shelia's legs have hair grown on them.

Not just the legs. Her arms, back, both side of the front body, the back of her neck, all of them are covered with fur the same color as her hair, black. The front part of her neck, the middle part of her chest and down to her waist, are not covered. Is there any reason for that? Or is that special only for female Werewolves?

Her hair has grown longer as well. She already has a long hair from the start, which reached her hip. But now, they almost touched the ground when she stands up straight.

I wonder… if the Werewolves had a bad haircut, will they just transform themselves to let their hair longer? Then when they transformed back, will they return to normal again? I'm curious.

Shelia who is in her Werewolf form is enduring the wind, but she's still unable to move a step from that spot.

Suddenly, the wind stopped pushing Shelia down while Angela should still have some mana left. Shelia seems confused, but she decided to attack Angela right away.

But before she attacked, thanks to that moment of confusion which should be less than a second, Angela able to attack her again with her wind magic. But this time, it's not pushing her down. Instead, the wind circling around and lifted Shelia up. It's a tornado!

Shelia who focused her body to attack, got lifted up by the tornado. She spun around inside the tornado without being able to do anything. If she kept her calm, she should be able to escape by using Air Steps. But this is her first time fighting a mage after all, so everything is new to her.

"It's not over yet!" Angela shouted.

Then she… throws a fire into the tornado! It turned into a Fire Tornado!

The Tornado actually didn't give Shelia any damage. It was just a normal wind magic after all, not from Wind Slashes. But Angela added fire into the Tornado, and now Shelia is enduring the fire while being spun around.

"AAAAAAH!!" Shelia screamed.

…Angela is too violent. And she hasn't used her ice magic yet. Why?

But she still made good decisions. To hit a quick enemy, she needs to use a large-scale magic instead of a small one. If she uses a small-scale magic, no matter how powerful it is, Shelia would still be able to dodge it.

But now, Shelia is inside the Fire Tornado. With how fast the wind is, and the fire inside, there's no way anyone would be able to breathe normally.

I can clearly see inside the Tornado. Although Shelia is unable to breathe and the fire burns her fur, she's also not giving up. I think those two on the Arena are very similar to each other.

Shelia forced herself to breakthrough the tornado. She used Air Steps and follow the wind current, and after gaining speed, she left the tornado. I'm the only one who can see that though. Everyone just though that Shelia is defeated.

"She's coming out." I said to make everyone knows that she's still fine. Other than the burnt part of her body, and her visible exhaustion.

Though Angela also already tired as well.

There's not much damage in this battle, but both sides exhausted everything they have. Shelia is out of breath, and Angela is out of mana. Though they still have some reserve.

"Go Shelia! Show these humans how strong we Werewolves are!" Jack shouted.

"What are you talking about!? You lose to a human already and the gap between you and Shelia is too big! You speak as if everyone is about as strong as Shelia!" Grandpa Werewolf angry at that remark.

Air Steps and… Wind Slash? Both are skills that Werewolves can get when they become stronger. But only Grandpa Werewolf and Shelia able to do it. The gap between those two and the rest of the Werewolves are too big.

"I have returned, your majesty."

While we are still watching the match, Ian who was flying in the sky in his Giant Falcon form returned next to us.

"Oh, Ian. You're also an advanced level wind mage, right? Why didn't you put up a shield like Mustache?" I asked.

"When Master Roy told us to brace ourselves, I don't know that it would be a wind magic. So, I made sure to escape the range of whatever Lady Angela is trying to do. I know everyone will be fine with Master Roy on their side, but I apologize if I did anything wrong." Ian apologized.

"There's nothing wrong with it. If I think Angela's attack is too powerful, I would escape as well. Let's go back watching Angela's fight. Shelia just escaped from the Tornado and hide behind it. You can't see it from here."

Just like I say, Shelia is behind the Fire Tornado. She's in the sky falling without using Air Steps.

Then after a while, she run on air around the Tornado, and attacked the unprepared Angela using her Wind Slash with both her hands.

Angela noticed late, but she still managed to dodge the attack. But she's dodging by jumping to the sky with the help of her wind magic. It was a bad decision to jump that high when she can't fly.

Hmm? Seems like Shelia's attack managed to scratched Angela's right foot. Shelia didn't attack Angela while she's in the air maybe because of her exhaustion. Which is good since Angela might still have a chance to win then. But because of the injury on her right foot, she landed terribly on the ground while Shelia landed perfectly.

"You seem exhausted. Why don't you surrender?" Angela provoked Shelia.

"You're in a worse state than me. You're the one who should give up." Shelia replied.

"Yeah… I think it's a good idea to rest. But I still have enough mana left for my last attack. If you can block it again, you win." Angela said.

"Me too… I can only do one more attack. Let's make this our last round!" Shelia challenged Angela.

This will be their last attack. What will they do?

Shelia is the same as usual, charging at Angela. But her transformation is gone and now she's back to her human form with no fur covering her body. But her last attack might be with her partial transformation. I see that her right hand transformed with long sharp claws attached to it.

As for Angela… she's also charging forward? She must have another idea.

The audiences cheered on the two of them. Although those two didn't take much damages, this fight is better than the last since the last one is more one-sided. Everyone is enjoying the battle.

When the two are only three meters apart, Angela casted her magic. It's the ice magic that she hadn't used at all during the fight. She finally used it now.

With her ice magic, she froze the ground in front of Shelia. And Shelia who never see ice doesn't know that one can slip when walking on ice. Shelia slipped and lost her balance.

If Angela cleverly made the plan to freeze the floor, she's smarter than I thought. But when I looked at my side, Kayla is smiling while giving a thumb up toward Angela. Looks like it was Kayla who told Angela to do it. It must be because after I told her about the match, she asked more about Werewolves and I told her about how the Werewolves doesn't seem to have ever seen ice before.

This Kayla and Angela combination is perfect. Kayla as the brain, and Angela as the muscle. I mean magic.

Shelia didn't fall, but she lost her balance. Then Angela pulled back her fist, and struck her fist to Shelia's jaw. She doesn't have powerful punch, but with wind magic helping her pushes forward her fist, the punch is getting stronger.

Shelia instantly knocked out and lost her consciousness.

"Huff… huff… I won!"

Shelia shouted. Then because she's too tired, she's also fainted and about to fall down. But after I see her punch connect to Shelia's jaw, I quickly run toward her, and grabbed her before she falls down.

"Well, can it be called as victory? Let's have Kayla heal you for now. You can rest now." I said to Angela before she lost her consciousness.

Then the audiences cheered at the end of the two's battle. It was so close. No one knows who will be the winner until the very end.

I'm about to return to Kayla, but I don't see any Werewolves coming to get Shelia. They are too excited after witnessing the fight, they forget to care about her. I guess I'll bring her with me. Since Kayla has rested enough, she should be able to heal these two.
