Chapter 148 148: Ariel Versus Team Sheron - Part 3

"Now that we have gotten that shit over with, keep attacking!" Sheron said as she looked at her team. Honestly, it wasn't like they were bad, but she felt frustrated with them for getting in the way of the chance she had to sneak up on Ariel.

Meanwhile, on Amon's team.

"That was close," Maisa said.

Julia breathed a sigh of relief. "Yeah, if it weren't for the other four attacking and forcing Ariel to take distance, she might have been in trouble."

"No, she wouldn't have," Amon denied.

"I also don't think Ariel would have fallen for Sheron's trick," Barbara said thoughtfully, "She's smarter than that."

"Yes, she was purposely heading towards Sheron, even though she knew Sharon was setting a trap for her," Amon said with a neutral expression.

"Why would she do such a thing?" Maisa didn't understand.

"This is just my speculation, but it's likely she would have levitated Sheron the moment she got close enough," Amon replied, "By doing this, even though Sheron's spell is powerful, with Ariel close by, she could easily levitate her. Sheron wouldn't be strong enough to overcome her will."

"Yeah, I didn't really think about it, but I got suspicious when Ariel was still smiling and teasing Sheron," Barbara said, "It made me think that she already knew Sheron was planning a trap for her, and she already had a countermeasure to deal with it."

"Shh!" Maisa signaled for silence with her index finger between her lips. "She's going for it again."

Before the flames of the four team members made contact with Ariel, a wicked smile curved her lips as she extended one of her hands. In the next instant, the four attacks stopped in midair and came under her absolute control, causing the four teammates of Sheron's to lose control of their spells.

*Whoosh!*

With the sound of slicing wind, Ariel controlled the four attacks and directed them towards Sheron's team members. Wasting no time, she then moved towards Sheron as the air around her spun like a whip, creating a flaming vortex of wind.

*Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!*

Four consecutive sounds of explosions echoed. The four in Sheron's team were flung out of the arena and were disqualified. At the same time, Ariel arrived in front of Sheron, who with her claws, launched herself towards Ariel to attack. Instead of dodging, Ariel, who created a kind of cyclone of flames and wind with her whip, made the attack go towards Sheron.

"I will not lose!" Sheron shouted loudly.

She tore with both hands towards the cyclone. It was like sharp ice claws wanting to force open a door, however, she was not at an advantage: the more force she used, the more cracks appeared in the ice around the claws in her hands.

Suddenly, something snakeed toward her from the side.

"Damn it!" She cursed when she knew it was Ariel's whip coming her way. She already knew how powerful that whip was, however, she was already doing her best to nullify the burning cyclone; it would be difficult to dodge or defend against the whip.

A pair of ice wings appeared behind Sheron. The wings curved and wrapped around her to protect her from the whip.

*BOOM!*

*CRACK!*

At the same time that the sound of explosions echoed, cracks appeared in the pair of wings created by Sheron. However, thanks to this, she was able to defend herself in time.

*Sigh…* Flying backwards with a heavy sigh, Sheron used more force on her claws and finally managed to break through the cyclone, splitting it in two. She didn't know if Ariel would attack now or not, but she didn't stand still to watch. Using movement spells, she moved forward at high speed. Gaining distance, she turned in the direction of the aura she felt and looked into Ariel's eyes.

"Hehe, not bad at all~" Ariel said with a giggle of amusement. She didn't seem to mind that Sheron was practically gaining ground.

Now that only the two of them were all that was left, with the four other members of Sheron's team already disqualified, Ariel was in an even more advantageous position.

"You are strong," Sheron sighed as she looked at Ariel. She bit her lower lip and said resignedly, "Much stronger than me... I admit defeat."

She lifted her hands up; there was no point in continuing anymore. She realized that now that she was alone, it was just a waste of energy to continue this fight. It was better not to show any more cards up her sleeve, so as not to receive challenges from a lower rank than hers and end up falling in the tournament rankings.

"Ariel is the winner!" the judge announced aloud.

After a brief silence, a round of applause echoed. Although some of them were rivals of Amon's team, the strength shown by Ariel was admirable, and because of that, they also joined in with the cheering people.

When Ariel returned to her group, the first one to hug her and speak was Barbara. "Ariel, Ariel! You put on quite a show! Look how the audience liked it and is full of praise for you~"

Ariel brushed Barbara's 'fat' breasts away from her face with her hands and said lewdly, "Holding me like that… If I were a man, or swung for the same team, I'd be dying of happiness. Is this the legendary suffocating in a sea of giant tits?"

"What are you talking about?" Barbara countered, "You have bigger boobs than mine!"

"Yes, that may be, however, I am short. I would hardly be able to create this scene hugging someone. It would only work if that person was sitting in a chair or in another situation that made them shorter than me," Ariel said this without the slightest hint of embarrassment.

"But, she can do something that few women can do because she's short," Julia said suddenly.

"Oh? And what would that be?" Ariel looked at her with interest.

Before Maisa could answer, Amon said, looking at Ariel, "You've improved a lot. But, you played too much with your opponents. If you do that in a real fight, it could be fatal."

"Serious as always," Ariel laughed, "You need to relax more, Amon~"

"My grandfather once told me that being careless in a fight, even against a weaker opponent, can lead to your death!" he said in a very serious tone.

Ariel stopped playing when she saw Amon acting like this.

"Okay, okay, I get it," Ariel said, "It's not like I would act like that in serious combat. It was just because it was a duel that I leaned more towards fun."

"For fun..." Amon was thoughtful. "I see… In that case, you did well."

"Hehe~ I knew you would understand," Ariel laughed.

'Ariel is good at dealing with Amon.' Julia touched her chin thoughtfully.

After that, they continued talking, but did not use their other opportunity to challenge.
