“Are you ready?” The staff suddenly interrupted Leo from his thoughts.

Hearing the staff’s question, Leo quickly pulled himself back together and nodded his head to the former in response.

“Then begin,” The staff announced the start of Leo and Edi’s fight.

Whooosh!

Leo didn’t waste any time as he immediately lunged himself straight towards Edi’s direction.

Seeing this, Edi panicked for a bit before quickly taking out his weapon and putting it before him to block Guild Leader Loki’s attack.

However, Leo abruptly stopped in his tracks the moment he arrived in front of Edi. Following that, he put a lot of force onto his feet and soon after made a summersault.

Edi could only make both of his eyes follow Guild Leader Loki’s figure flying above him as he was caught unprepared by the sudden change of his action.

As soon as Leo appeared just right above Edi, his hands made a swift wave motion. At the tip of his fingers, two daggers appeared and shot towards the latter’s head.

Clang!

Szhhhhs!

“Argh!” Edi cried out in pain while looking at the dagger that had embedded itself into his left shoulder. Fortunately, he was able to raise his sword when Guild Leader Loki shot his daggers. Otherwise, he would be dead right now. However, he was not fortunate enough to block the two daggers, allowing one of them to hit him.

The moment Leo landed on the ground, he immediately raised one of his feet. He soon threw a kick towards Edi’s hand that was currently holding his sword.

Bang!

Whooosh!

Clang!

With the powerful force of Leo’s kick, Edi was unable to hold onto his weapon, causing it to fly a few meters of distance away from him.

After kicking Edi’s weapon, Leo quickly followed up by kicking the former’s head.

Boom!

Edi blocked Guild Leader Loki’s kick by raising both of his arms in front of his head and crossing it together. But because of the powerful force of the latter’s kick, he still can’t help himself from retreating one meter to his back with both of his arms also started numbing from the pain.

“Not bad,” Leo complimented.

“I was just lucky,” Edi humbly responded.

“Being humble is good, but if you clearly achieve things with your own skills, then it would be the same as underestimating yourself if you don’t admit to that. And remember, too much humbleness is arrogance,” Leo shook his head.

“I understand,” Edi clasped both of his hands together to express his appreciation for Guild Leader Loki’s teaching.

“Good,” Leo said with a smile on his face. It wasn’t really necessary for him to say any of those lines. Still, he can’t help himself after seeing Edi trying his best not to be easily defeated by him. At the very least, he should recognize his ability.

“Then, let’s continue,” Leo stated before lunging himself once again towards Edi.

This time, after his skill got recognized by Guild Leader Loki personally, Edi was no longer panicking or feeling nervous. He raised both of his hands, holding the new sword that he had just taken out from his Storage Ring, fully prepared to receive and counter to any of Guild Leader Loki’s attacks.

Waving his hand, Leo took out the pair of Death Wake Dagger from his Storage Ring. Using this weapon to fight against Edi only means one thing, he considered the latter as a worthy opponent to fight.

“I’ll be taking you seriously now,” Leo informed Edi.

“I’m prepared,” Edi responded confidently.

Whooosh!

Clang!

A muffled explosion sounded as Leo’s Death Wake Dagger made contact with Edi’s sword.

“Fireball!” Leo cast using his Death Wake Dagger.

Boom!

Edi instantly retreated a few meters away after the Fireball spell exploded in front of him. Looking at his hands, he surprisingly noticed that his sword was already destroyed, “Shit!”

Quickly, Edi took out another sword from his Storage Ring before Guild Leader Loki could attack him again.

Whooosh! Whooosh!

Two daggers shot straight towards Edi.

Clang! Clang!

Fortunately for Edi, he had timely taken out his new sword before the daggers could reach him. He wipes the sweat that had appeared on his forehead due to the short moment of intenseness.

But in the next moment, Edi became surprised as he could no longer see Guild Leader Loki’s figure in front of him. After noticing this, he quickly started looking around his surroundings, hoping to find him before he could launch any sneak attack on him.

“Where did he go,” Edi wanted to know where Guild Leader Loki suddenly went. He was just in front of him a moment ago, yet now he is gone.

It didn’t take that long, though, for Leo to reveal himself again, “Looking for me?”

Hearing Guild Leader Loki’s voice, Edi immediately looked above him. To his surprised, he saw the former floating up above in the air, “You… But how?!”

“That’s a secret,” Leo replied. Without anyone noticing, he has used his Wind Elementals to carry him and make him look like he was floating. He wasn’t really worried that anyone would notice his Wind Elementals as they have completely blended with the wind in the surrounding. What everyone could only see is that the wind is making him fly. Thus they will assume that he had used a Wind Element Magic spell to achieve this kind of effect.

Putting his hand forward, Leo cast, “Vine spell!”

Whooosh! Whooosh! Whooosh!

In the next moment, dozens of vines shot out from Leo’s hand and straight towards Edi’s direction.

Edi could already guess that Guild Leader Loki intends to trap him using his Vine spell, just like what he had done to Eme Clarity previously. As such, he quickly decided to distance himself so that he could get out of the range of his Magic spell.

But before Edi could even take a few steps to get away from him, Leo swiftly cast, “Earth wall!”

Whooosh! Whooosh! Whooosh!

A few tall walls of rock rose from the ground, which prevented Edi from retreating.

“Shit!” Edi can’t help swearing after seeing that his path to escape has been entirely blocked by Guild Leader Loki’s Earth wall spell. Not only that, but he was also cornered with his only route in front obstructed by the incoming vines. Unless he is faster than the vines, only could he successfully escape from this place.

Having left with no other choice, hence Edi decided to cut his way through to escape.

However, just when Edi was prepared to cut the vines to make a path to escape, all of the vines that he had thought were coming after him suddenly went to wrap around the earth walls that surrounded him behind.

Not long after, Edi found himself trapped inside the vines that formed into the wall that surrounded him in all directions. His only way out of this is to cut his way through the vines. The only question is, will Guild Leader Loki really not cast another Vine spell to patch up the hole? He obviously won’t do something as stupid as that after spending all of those efforts to trap him. Though, that wasn’t the pressing matter right now.

Edi was already very familiar with this kind of trap as he had witnessed with his very own eyes how the alliance of the Mischievous Lion Guild, Battle Maniac team, and Red Fist Guild had used a similar trap to suffocate their enemies in the second round ‘The Maze’. It was a scene that he watched due to how unmerciful they were to those players. After all, they burned them to death!

It was exactly as what Edi had expected. The moment Leo landed on the ground below him, he soon cast a series of Fireball spells towards the vines that trapped Edi, evidently intending to burn it.

“Do you really have to do this?” The staff asked after seeing Guild Leader Loki’s action. He was also one of the witnesses of this trap and how cruel it was. So, he wants to know if Guild Leader Loki plans to do the same to Edi as well so as to save the latter by the time his life is threatened.

“Rest assured. I am more than aware that this is just a friendly battle and that there is no need for killing other players unless it is really necessary or that it can’t be avoided,” Leo waved his hand to calm down the staff. Edi is not a member of the Naughty Elves Organization, so naturally he won’t do something as cruel as what Ahmed and the others had done before. He only plans to suffocate Edi using the smoke of burning the vines. As long as the staff could save him in time, which he certainly will, nothing terrible would happen to Edi for sure. And besides, he had long already made preparations to prevent Edi from accidentally dying due to his trap.

Whooosh! Whooosh! Whooosh!

A fire was immediately created as soon as the fireballs made contact with the vines. Soon, the flames spread onto the rest of the vines. And a few seconds later, the entire trap made out of vines was consumed by fire.

Edi, who was inside the trap, immediately retreated to the earth wall where only a few vines were present. By doing this, he can prevent himself from getting burnt. Though it still doesn’t guarantee that he will be safe from any harm nonetheless.

“Is Guild Leader Loki planning to kill me?” Edi really wondered about that. Hopefully, Guild Leader Loki is not planning to kill him…
