Fallen Celestial (Fairy Tail fanfic)

Fallen Celestial Part 15

Levy nervously walked towards the center of the arena where the woman named Lilith was already waiting, a childlike smile on her face as she watched Levy approach. If she was being completely honest with herself; Levy wasn't all that confident in her ability to keep up with the greatest wizards in Fiore. But even still she had been chosen by the Master to fight and would fight as hard as she could for her family, especially since Lilith claimed to be the one who attacked Wendy.

Mato walked up to stand in between the two ladies. "Alright you two, you have the entire arena to serve as your battlefield. You have a thirty minute time limit to incapacitate your opponent. If neither side claims victory by the time limit the fight ends in a draw. Understand?" he asked and upon receiving nods from both Mato took a step back and held his hand in the air. "Well then, let the first match begin!" he shouted as he swiped his hand down and someone struck a gong off in the distance.

Levy wasted no time in crouching down and preparing her magic. "Solid Script: Fire!" she shouted, her magic manifesting and shooting forward.

Lilith however, simply stood there, as if she was completely oblivious to the fireball that was flying towards her. When the fire was only a few inches away from her face, Lilith leapt into the air, a whip that looked almost like a long rose stem appearing in her hand. "Oh wow, you use Solid script magic? That must make you Levy Mcgarden right?"

"Why does it matter?" Levy huffed as she wrote out lightning which shot out at the blonde.

"Oh; don't worry about it. It doesn't matter to you but I've heard a lot about you over the years." Lilith commented in a chipper tone as she sidestepped the bolt of electricity. "But if that's true then I have something more to do than just to defeat you now."

Levy was about to ask what exactly the woman meant by that but before she could Lilith struck out with her whip, hitting Levy on her leg and causing the blue haired girl to hiss in pain.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what exactly is going on down in the arena? Competitor Levy just leapt away from nothing and now has an open wound on her leg? What kind of magic did competitor Lilith use?" Chapati said as the crowd cheered.

What? They can't see the whip? Does that mean she uses some kind of illusion magic? Levy thought as she tried to ignore the pain in her leg. Somehow the wound hurt a lot more than it should of, but if the whip wasn't real it couldn't be poison or something similar.

"What you're thinking is probably right, what I use is indeed illusion magic." Lilith commented as she coiled the whip around her arm. "However I would appreciate it if you don't consider it anything like a normal illusion spell. You're mind truly believes that this whip is real and your body will respond in kind, even if that means opening a wound that shouldn't exists."

"Well then; I'll just have to make sure that you can't hit me then. Solid Script: Smoke!" Levy shouted as her magic took effect, covering the arena in a dense fog. Levy instantly began to sprint around, hoping to get behind the woman and deliver a devastating attack.

However, Lilith wasn't about to let Levy get the upper hand. "Fourth Illusion: Rose Storm!" she shouted and in the next moment all the smoke was blown away by a massive wind storm that contained an immeasurable amount of rose petals.

Levy had barely had the time to get a guard word out in time to prevent the wind from throwing her off her feet. But before she could even get her bearings Lilith's whip wrapped itself around her body and with a snap of her wrist, sent Levy flying through the air. Her illusions are strong enough to affect the world itself? Just how strong is she? She thought with her panic beginning to rise as she managed to land on her feet.
