The Strongest Fairy

Chapter 52 Quarter Finals ①

◇――――――――――――――――

『Then, for the first battle of the quarterfinals!!! Battle Start!!!』

「My Flames! Blow up everything around me!!!」

「You must be kidding, right!?」

As an introduction, La Veil created a fire pillar that was around 10 meters high. The place where Abil stood was burned a second after he moved to escape. Turning blue from seeing the ground where he was before getting charred, Abil moved away in order to escape from further damage.

「That's not all!! Here's more!!」

She created another pillar as if to mock at how futile his moves were.

「How can I win against this!! If only I can find a little—–!!」

「What is it?」

「Oiiiiiiii!!??」

And another one was unleashed again at Abil. He was now stuck surrounded by fire pillars. The swirling fire pillars that began to spin were generating tremendous heat, making the area where Abil stood hot enough that it felt like being in the middle of a desert under a blazing sun. Sweat was dripping from his skin like a waterfall, and even his armor is starting to heat up.

(I can't sense even a little bit of magic power depletion... Even great wizards, they wouldn't be able to last 10 seconds casting something like this... Damn... Why must I be faced with such a monster!!)

「Are you going to show us your courageous spirit, or will you drop out just like that!!」

「Daaaaaaaaaahh!!」

Abil read the trajectory of the fire pillars and then jumped out. Although he was able to escape the blazing hell, his sword was swallowed by a fire pillar and was turned into nothing more than a pile of melted metal.

『Amazing!! Abil somehow managed to escape the fiery cage made by Nee-san with only his weapon as a sacrifice surviving the ordeal!! We still don't know how the match will end up!!』

After escaping, Abil immediately rushed towards La Veil. The only weapon he had was a spare knife on his waist, but thinking of La Veil's Halberd, he realized that he wouldn't be able to parry with his knife.

「I won't let you!!」

「An opening!!」

Abil was attacked by La Veil, who used her Halberd. The swing send out an extremely strong pressure, but he managed to avoid it by paper thin margin. He was then able to close in and grabbed her while planting his feet onto the ground in preparation to throw La Veil.

「Wah, What is with this ridiculous...!?」

When Abil was trying to throw her, he felt such a heavy weight, as if he was trying to pull out a big tree. During this short time, Abil was completely wide open,

「Touching a woman's body... How long do you plan to stay dumbfounded!!!」

「Gaaaah!!」

From a simple swing, Abil's body was flung into the wall. You could hear the sound of debris getting crushed and the sound of his body falling.

There they could see Abil struggling to stand up despite his body covered in blood and wounds.

『With this it will be「Wait!!!」』

La Veil obstructed the announcer that was about to call her victory. She approached the battered Abil. Then she asked.

「Are you giving up?」
