Chapter 103: ~Finals?~ (2/2)

I try to get up, but drop to the ground instead. “My legs are burrrnning!” What's this witchery! She didn't even touch me. Through the air? No, others would be affected too.

“~Never do it again.~”

“I'll never do it again!” I gasp! “Give me the antidote.” Celestial bends down and kisses me on the forehead. “Cast a regeneration spell. That should be enough. ~This time.~”

I do as I was told and the prickling pain disappears. “My sugar cat is surely generous.”

Another group of opponents appears as I get to my feet. One moment... wasn't that too fast? There was almost no time between the matches? My watch says that three hours passed! Did I have a blackout?

“... And finally the finals! On the right are -The four Pillars of Death-! And on the left are our champions! First there is Gemesh the Vigilant! A real fighter! Strong in all matters of combat! He deserves the title champion! …”

Gemesh has light brown hair and a muscular body. He waves at the crowd of spectators. His face looks rough. A huge sword is on his back and he wears shining plate armour.

“... Cassandra the Lusty is our winner from the last tournament. Also known as …”

“THE PANTY FLASHER!” Lidith calls out and points at Cassandra. Cassandra wears a beautiful blue dress which matches her blue hair. Though the dress seems to be a little too short. Her figure is good, though not as tempting as the bunny girl from earlier.

“... Yeah, that's her nickname! As a master of distraction, she takes every possible opportunity to turn the battle to her advantage! …”

“... The final team member is Zerberon the Hellion. One of the best flame users I know of! His flame magic is truly on another level! …”

The commentator continues to speak, but I don't pay attention to him. “We have just three opponents? They must be strong if they got this far.”

Celestial nods. “We shouldn't underestimate them. Let's try to protect...”

Lidith interrupts her and steps forward. “There is no need! Cassandra! I challenge you to a one on one duel! Our teams aren't allowed to interfere.”

Cassandra smirks. “Why do you think that I would accept something stupid like that?”

Lidith crosses her arms in front of her chest. “Because you will be always looked down upon as the Panty Flasher otherwise! Last time you just won because you show...”

Cassandra turns red. “ENOUGH! Fine! Let's do this! Just you and me! And then your stupid...”

Gemesh taps her shoulder. “But this year it is a team fight.”

“Shut up! I put this team together, so I decide the rules!” Cassandra barks at him.

Then we are transported to the battlefield. As soon as we arrive, both Lidith and Cassandra jump at each other with bared teeth releasing their battle aura to the limit. Grabbing each other’s hands and interlocking their fingers, they start to wrestle with each other.

We are in a rocky landscape with many grassy hills. The ground under our feet is dry and cracked from the heat.

Gemesh and Zerberon walk slowly around them. Gemesh forces a smile onto his face and bows to the three of us. “I am sorry that you have to witness this. But this wrestling match is something they’ve been doing for almost a thousand years. Probably you expected some kind of grand fight during the finals.”

Celestial shrugs her shoulders. “It's fine. But how long will it take them to get tired.” She gestures at Lidith and Cassandra.

Zerberon scratches his head. “It could take a while.”

I summon five deckchairs. A wave of my hand pulls a grill and a big cooling box from my extra-dimensional storage and I hum a happy tune while I stab an umbrella against the sun into the ground.

By opening the cooling box, I reveal everything which is needed for a decent camping party. Cooking tools, drinks, meat, seafood, candy...

I take a piece of meat and place it onto the grill.

Then I take a soft drink from the cooling box. When I sit down I realize that all eyes are on me.

Celestial smiles and takes a look into the box. Of course none of the food is from our world. She pulls a big bar of chocolate out of it. “From where did you get all that stuff honey?”

I arch an eyebrow. “I looted a nearby technological world with a decent culture? Do you believe that I would be satisfied with the stuff from home after becoming a god?”

The others shrug and take a seat.

Only Jazira keeps standing while she watches Lidith and Cassandra. Suddenly her expression turns creepy and she starts drooling.

She raises her hand and points her finger at the dry ground under them. A stream of water shoots out of a magical circle, which appeared in front of her, turning the dried up ground into mud.

Lidith and Cassandra slip. They fall to the ground, but continue their competition. The fight turns into mud wrestling within seconds!

Jazira gives us a thumbs up and drops herself into the remaining chair.
