Chapter 77 - 66: Ahoge (1/2)

”Ya!”

Firo attacks first.

She jumps with all her might and reaches the belly of Fitoria's gigantic figure.

”Kue”

Fitora flaps her wings and dodges swiftly.

”Ha!”

While Firo was landing back on the ground, Fitoria slices at her with a wing.

”Oops!”

Firo bȧrėly avoids the wing by diving to the side.

”Firo-chan do you best!”

Melty loudly cheers her on.

”””Guaaaaaaaaaaa~!”””

The Philorials similarly support Fitoria with their cries.

”I will not lose~!”

Firo charges up to Fitoria.

”Kue!”

Fitoria tries to bat Firo away using her wings, but Firo dexterously uses the wing as a scaffold and jumps for her face.

”Wow! Amazing~!”

Firo's attack unfortunately ends in failure, but she calls out in admiration.

”Very fast. But I won't lose.”

After taking a stance with her wings Firo begins preparing.

”Yay, here it come~”

Firo's body becomes a blur.

In the next moment, a loud wham could be heard...

”Kue”

At first glance, it seemed Fitora was slowly waving her wings up and down.

”Waaaaaaaa!”

Firo was blown into the air and knocked around.

After being Forced to expand her wings to control the air flow, Firo lands.

”To think you would dodge Firo's trump card so easily-”

”Kue”

Fitoria puts one of her wings on her waist and taunts Firo.

To act in such a carefree attitude.

Amazing.

Brushing off Firo's ultimate attack just like that...

”As expected of the legendary Philorial.”

Melty expresses her admiration.

I agree.

What can I say. Our combat expert Firo is being toyed with.

”How about this!”

”Firo commands the origin of power. Firo has read and deciphered a law of nature. Blow her away with a raging tornado!”

”Tzuvait ・Tornado!”

”What?”

To think Firo could use intermediate magic! I doubt she could teach me...

If you could have always used it, then you should have.

We could have ran away from those heroes easily if that spell was used.

The tornado brought forth from Firo's hands flies towards Fitoria-

”KueKueKueKueeeeeeeeeeeee”

”Kueeeeeeeeeeeee!”

Firo's magic was enclosed and dissipated like it was never there.

”Counterbalance?”

Oh, that's a phenomenon that was described in the beginner class magic book.

Interfering with magic. However, that is only possible if the user has sufficient power and is able to analyse the magic as it is cast.

The proper magic system required varies every time.

It is difficult because the magic cast to counterbalance must be from the proper system, and also must be cast right before the magic hits.

It is easier to counterbalance high class magic than intermediate class magic due to longer cast times.

”Wow...Firo's magic is not effective either~”

Firo charges rapidly Fitoria again.

Without delay Fitoria strikes at Firo with her massive wings.

”Ha!”

With a thud, Firo raised both her wings to catch the colossal attack

”Ugh...It's heavy...But”

After bȧrėly withstanding the attack, Firo kicks Fitora's wing away and jumps.

As expected, Fitoria who had her wing kicked away was not in position to defend against Firo who flew up to her face.

Thanks to coating herself with wind Firo's jumping power improved.

”Tei!”

Firo spun her whole body and unleashed a roundhouse kick at Fitoria's face.

It should have hit.

Yet despite all that,

”Kue!”

Fitora was also coated with wind, and Firo was blown off into the sky.

Basaa~!

Still, Fitoria was slightly grazed and a feather was hit off.

”Kuee”

Fitora was watching the feather that Firo hit down with a smile.

I noticed it.

Fitoria still has a something besides magic and physical attacks.  There is still something she is hiding.

She hasn't moved one step either.

Just how strong is she?

Legendary Philorial. She certainly lives up to those words. Firo is being taken lightly.

She has absolutely no chance of winning.

”Boo...”

Firo is whining with an ill-humoured expression.

”I will not lose!”

All of Firo's feathers start to stand on end.

”Suuuuu...”

She takes a giant breath.I see, Firo is absorbing the surrounding magic.

Such a thing is possible?

And for nearly 30 seconds she does not move.

”Ok---”

Firo flaps her wings.

Everyone can see that wind magic is being condensed behind her.

This is most likely Firo's strongest finisher.

The prerequisite is too severe. It's not usable in actual combat.

”Here it comes!”

Firo flies at Fitoria with the speed of a bullet.

She rotates her beak, by dashing off the ground and flying low. This attack is the fastest by far.

Usually Firo's attacks consist of basic kicking and pecking.

What can I say. This attack resembles the finisher from an air-plane shaped robot in a strategy game.

”Kue!?”

Even Fitoria widened her eyes in surprise.

With a large step, Firotia takes a step back and...

It was over.

Fitoria stretched both her wings and her expression changed, her posture resembled one killing bugs with both hands, and squishes Firo.

”Kyu...”

When Fitoria opens her wings and a knocked-out Firo falls down.

”Firo-chan!”

”””Guaaaaaaaa!”””

The Philorials start cheering.

We follow after Melty who rushes out first.

”Are you okay?”

”Yup...ah...”

As Melty rushes up to Firo to check on her, Firo looks up at me.

After looking around restlessly I look down at her.

”Firo lost.”

”But you did great.You fought well against the Queen of Philorials.”

”She wasn't even trying, Firo couldn't hit her at all.”

As Firo was sulking Firotia called with KueKue.

”What are you giving me?”

Oh, we're going to receive something?
