Chapter 897: Powerful legs (4)
No matter how one looked at it, it seemed like Erina would be the one winning this clash.
After all, when comparing the physique of the two, it was clear which one of them was stronger than the other.
But the strange thing was…
“Huh?” Erina was shocked when she was suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She looked down at the figure that was under her with a shocked look as she couldn’t understand what had just happened.
She had certainly used all of her strength, but she found that she wasn’t able to move the smaller figure beneath her. It was almost as if she was pushing up against a rock with how firm this smaller figure was.
Gritting her teeth, Erina gathered all her strength and tried to push Ariel again, but she found that it was completely useless.
It was as if all of her strength was going into a bottomless pit as she tried to push Ariel back.
No matter how she pushed, Ariel just wouldn’t budge an inch.
In short, it was like she was pushing up against a steel wall.
“What’s going on here?” Erina said in a shocked voice.
But that was her mistake as she felt herself being pushed back all of sudden.
She had to stop herself midway and firmly plant her feet on the ground in an attempt to stop herself from being pushed back. But even though she had her feet firmly planted, it felt like she was slipping.
Just like this, Ariel was able to push Erina back bit by bit in front of everyone’s shocked expressions.
Erina had her face completely twisted with effort as if she was trying her best to remain in the ring, but she just couldn’t push Ariel back at all. With how hard she was trying, it was almost as if she was about to burst a vessel on her forehead.
It really seemed like something bad was about to happen with how much strength she was trying to use.
But on the other side, it almost seemed easy for Ariel as she slowly pushed Erina back. Well, easy was an overstatement since it still seemed like she was using quite a bit of strength, but she was able to push her back.
Just like this, Erina went all the way to the edge of the ring.
Erina saw this as well even though she was using all her strength to push Ariel back.
She knew that if she didn’t do something, then she would lose.
So she took this chance to go all out.
Taking a deep breath, Erina suddenly let go of Ariel and then reached down to grab her as if she wanted to flip her over her head. It seemed like she was trying to use a bridge to catch Ariel off guard.
But Ariel had already stopped herself as soon as Erina let go of her hands and she was ready to receive Erina’s diving attack.
In one smooth move, she did the same thing as me where she used Erina’s strength against her and flipped her out of the ring.
When it was over, Erina just looked up at the sky above her in a daze as she didn’t understand what happened just now.
Ariel let out a sigh of relief before revealing a big smile.
As for the crowd…there was only silence and shock that followed.
There wasn’t a single person that seemed like they had expected this result.
No, wait, actually I expected this so I was the only one that didn’t seem surprised by the ending.
As for why I wasn’t surprised, it was because I already knew why she won.
It was all because of the leg strength that she had.
I wasn’t certain if this would be the case, but I already guessed why she wanted to test her legs.
Mermaids had powerful tails since that was the only way that they could move through the ocean. It was the thing that they exercised on a daily basis since it was the part of them that they depended on the most.
Though my only experience with this was seeing them fight with their tails.
A single tail slap from a mermaid was enough to shatter rocks underwater, so there was no need to guess what would happen above the land.
Now that Ariel had her tail turned into human legs, I didn’t believe that she would lose all the muscle that was in her tail. I believed that the muscle of her tail would be turned into muscles for her new human leg.
Which was how she was able to stabilize herself like this.
That was why no matter how Erina pushed, she wasn’t able to push Ariel back at all.
When Erina came back to her senses, she looked up at Ariel and said, “How did you do it? How are you so strong?”
Everyone looked at Ariel as well as if they were waiting for her answer.
Ariel just raised one leg and said, “It’s because I have powerful legs.”
“Huh?” Erina was confused at first, but then she quickly turned to look at me.
As for the male knights, there was another reason why they were suddenly dazed.
After all, Ariel was wearing a dress with a slit on the side, so if she raised her leg like this… Well, it did create a beautiful scene.
This tomboy princess really was something else, she didn’t think about how she was acting at
all.
Though thinking about it, it couldn’t be blamed on the fact that she was a tomboy alone.
It also had to be blamed on the fact that she was a mermaid, so it wasn’t as if she was used to having legs in the first place.
I gave a cough to get her attention before pointing down, which caused Ariel to reveal an embarrassed look.
Even if she was a tomboy, she at least had the delicacy of a girl.
Though she did glare at the knights who had been staring at her in a daze.
After reminding her of this, I explained to Erina why she lost.
