Rise My Elementals! - Chapter 751: Rise My Elementals!

“Please come in the same order that I called you. This would also represent the schedule of when you will be fighting,” Princess Tila stepped forward while carrying the same round glass on her arms. But this time, there were only three pieces of paper inside. She started calling out, “Guild Leader Loki, Edgar Pierce, and lastly, Osborne,”
With his name called first, Leo stepped forward towards Princess Tila.
“We saw that you have more stamina and energy compared to both Edgar Pierce and Osborne combined, so we decided to let you fight first,” Princess Tila took the initiative to explain even though Leo wasn’t asking.
“I totally understand,” Leo expressed his understanding before putting his hand inside the round glass to begin choosing who he will be fighting against.
Since Leo obviously can’t fight against himself, thus Princess Tila had taken out his name in advance, only leaving two pieces of paper inside the round glass for him to pick. Without needing to ask, these two pieces of paper represent both Osborne and Edgar Pierce, respectively.
While choosing his opponent, Leo decided to activate his unique capability to see the future. With this, he would be able to see who he would be fighting against without needing to take out the piece of paper.
He put his hand above the piece of paper to the left, and a scene immediately appeared inside his consciousness.
“You will be fighting against Osborne!”
Without wasting any time, Leo swiftly cut off his unique capability. Afterward, he moved his hand unhesitatingly to grab the piece of paper to the right.
“You will be fighting against Edgar Pierce,” Princess Tila announced after reading the name written on the piece of paper that Leo had handed her.
Leo nodded his head at Princess Tila before turning around to look at Edgar Pierce. He muttered, “What a coincidence. It seems like we would be fighting in the first round, Edgar Pierce,”
“harrumph!” Edgar Pierce scoffed coldly. He added, “Don’t celebrate yet. I’ll make sure that I would be fighting against Osborne in the second round. In such a way, he won’t be able to heal and recuperate his stamina and energy significantly,”
In Edgar Pierce’s opinion, Osborne is the crucial factor in making Guild Leader Loki’s plan successful or a failure. And he believes that to make the latter’s plan fail, he’d have to simply prevent Osborne from doing exactly as what he had just said.
“And what makes you believe that you will be able to achieve that?” Leo replied while letting out a mischievous chuckle.
“We will see it soon,” Edgar Pierce said before walking away from Guild Leader Loki.
Not long after, Edgar Pierce’s opponent for the second round was announced.
“You will be fighting against Osborne,” Princess Tila proclaimed.
“See?” Edgar Pierce rejoiced while wiping the sweat that covered his forehead. Despite claiming that he’ll make sure to fight against Osborne in the second round, deep inside of him, he was actually not entirely confident that he would genuinely be able to do that. After all, it’s all about luck when it comes to choosing an opponent through the method that Princess Tila had proposed. In other words, he basically couldn’t rely on the fifty-fifty chance, as both have equal chances of getting picked by him.
After hearing Edgar Pierce’s words, Leo simply shrugged his shoulder off and turned to look at Osborne, “Just like what we have planned,”
Edgar Pierce was mentally shaken. He asked while stuttering, “What… what do you mean?”
“Now that you have chosen Osborne to be your opponent, then who do you think would be his opponent in the third round?” Leo asked.
Before Edgar Pierce could respond to Guild Leader Loki’s question, Princess Tila revealed the answer, “Osborne will be fighting against Guild Leader Loki in the third round,”
“This…” Edgar Pierce can’t believe that what he had thought to be the correct plan would actually backfire on him. Even though he doesn’t know what exactly Guild Leader Loki is planning to do for Osborne, he could still somewhat expect that he would surrender in order to give the latter one win.
“Let’s not waste any time and get on with the fighting,” Leo said while walking to the opposite corner of the arena.
While walking to his corner, Edgar Pierce suddenly realized something, prompting him to turn around to look at Guild Leader Loki. With a look of delight on his face, he muttered, “Since you plan on losing against Osborne in the third round, then as long as I can win against you in the first round, you’d have no other choice but to forget about your plan since I could easily get two wins against Osborne in the second round. By then, I’d only have to win one more round for me to move to the grand-finals, hahaha!”
“Rest assured, because that won’t ever happen,” Leo expressed confidently.
Edgar Pierce confidently declared, “Heh! I admit that I wasn’t truly quite confident when I claimed that I’d make sure to pick Osborne as my opponent in the second round. But that was only because choosing him as my opponent depends on my luck…”
“I know. Well, it was too obvious,” Leo interrupted.
“Ehem!” Edgar Pierce coughed. He continued with the same confident tone in his voice, “However, our fight would depend on skills!”
“Exactly! Which is why you will never be able to win against me no matter what you do,” Leo proclaimed.
“Let’s see,” Edgar Pierce didn’t believe that he wouldn’t be able to win against Guild Leader Loki. Suppose it were before, specifically during the Survival Games. In that case, he’d undoubtedly think that defeating him would be extremely difficult, especially considering it was his first time witnessing someone who uses such unique tricks in a fight. But after witnessing him fight three times, he realized that as long as he pays close attention to him, it wouldn’t be that difficult to fend off against all of his tricks as all of them use the rule of misdirection. To be more precise, he would use something to attract his opponent’s attention, while on the other hand, he’d do something else. Regardless, it still doesn’t change the fact that it would be pretty difficult to defeat him.
“Why don’t we see it now!” Leo said as he then prepared himself.
“No problem,” Edgar Pierce also prepared himself.
Seeing this, Elmont stepped forward in between Leo and Edgar Pierce.
“Are you ready?” Elmont asked Leo.
“Ready,” Leo replied.
Elmont turned to look at Edgar Pierce and asked the same, “Are you ready?”
“More than ready,” Edgar Pierce responded while cracking his knuckles.
“What’s that for? You’re acting like you are going to use your fist to fight!” Leo rolled his eyes.
“I am just warming up my hands,” Edgar Pierce sneered. Does he seriously think that he could infuriate him by saying that?
“Since the two of you are already set, then let the fight begin!” Elmont announced.
“Rise…” my Elementals! Leo inwardly thought the latter two words while raising both of his hands above his head. In the next moment, five Golems slowly started rising from the ground in front of him.
Whooooosh! Whooooosh! Whooooosh!
“What the heck…!” Edgar Pierce can’t help rubbing his eyes while staring at the five Golems being summoned by Guild Leader Loki.
Quickly pulling himself together and realizing that there is no use holding back anymore against Guild Leader Loki, Edgar Pierce also started summoning Golems.
Whooooosh! Whooooosh! Whooooosh!
As a Mage, it is only natural for Edgar Pierce to also have a few Golems prepared. After all, when the situation requires him to cast a Magic spell but needs enough time to do so, he’d have to summon his Golems to protect him and buy him enough time to finish his Magic spell. Contrary to Guild Leader Loki, though, he only has three Golems prepared, whereas the latter has five of them. This evidently shows the numerical disadvantage between his Golems and the latter’s Golems.
Similar to Guild Leader Loki’s Golems, Edgar Pierce’s Golems were also embedded with Memory Crystal, where a set of commands were already coded inside so that he would no longer need to command his Golems to make them execute an action personally.
Unbeknownst to Edgar Pierce, Leo wasn’t actually summoning Golems, but instead, they were Earth Elementals disguised as Golems. Comparing these two entities together would be stupid, as the latter is another league above the former. As a matter of fact, they should not be compared as there is just no comparison between the two. For example, the Memory Crystal embedded onto Leo’s Golems were merely for decoration purposes with not even a single set of codes to automatically command his supposedly Golems. That is because his Earth Elementals have their own consciousness that allows them to think of what to do and not to do.
“Although you have more Golems than me, as long as I defeat you, they would no longer have any use,” Edgar Pierce said before pointing his hand forward and ordering, “Attack!”
Bang! Bang! Bang! Booom! Bang! Bang! Bang!
