Rise My Elementals!

Chapter 755 Edgar Pierce's dilemma

Author: M_W Cancer

Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce

Without even needing Edgar Pierce's reminder, Leo is long already aware that casting numerous Magic spells would expend his stamina and energy. As a matter of fact, it would also drain his Mana if he used more than his Star could gather from his surroundings. But what Edgar Pierce doesn't know is that he already had a plan prepared for the third round against Osborne to help him solve his problem. 

"It seems like most of your Magic spells are missing the target, Guild Leader Loki! Are you perhaps in a panic right now?" Edgar Pierce's scoffed. 

"How do you expect me to accurately hit you when I am casting while and at the same time running away from you?" Leo rebutted. 

"Then you should stop running away and fight me instead!" Edgar Pierce became even more proud and arrogant as he continued to play a game of cat and mouse against Guild Leader Loki, with him as the cat and the latter as the mouse. 

Supposed it wasn't because he is personally putting Guild Leader Loki in this predicament. In that case, Edgar Pierce believes that he'd undoubtedly not believe anyone if they tell him that they made the Guild Leader of the Mischievous Lion Guild run away with his tails in between his legs.

Nevertheless, Edgar Pierce didn't forget to remain cautious. Guild Leader Loki is known as a mischievous person along with all the Executives of his Guild. If he dares to underestimate the latter just because he is currently running away from him, chances are, Guild Leader Loki would suddenly reverse the situation against his favor. By that time, he can only blame himself for being careless. 

Edgar Pierce had already witnessed how Guild Leader Loki would suddenly turn the tide of the fight to his favor. As much as possible, he'd like to avoid experiencing the same situation that those people have experienced.

"Just a few more," Leo muttered before casting, "Vines!"

Whoooosh! Whoooosh! Whooooosh!

Dozens of vines shot straight towards all the earth walls that Leo had previously cast. The vines circled around them to tighten their hold before moving to another earth wall and doing the same. This continued for a few more seconds until the last earth wall was connected.

After that, Leo raised his hand for one last time and cast, "Earth spikes!"

Whooooosh! Whoooosh! Whooooosh!

The earth spikes penetrated the vines that wrapped around the earth walls and embedded themselves deeply. As a result, the vines were locked in place and wouldn't accidentally slip anymore.

Leo didn't just stop after that as he continued to cast a series of Earth spikes spells and used them to further reinforce the hold of the vines to the earth walls.

Not long after, what appeared in the view of everyone currently watching, including Edgar Pierce, was a stage that had just seemingly gone through a remodeling. Though only a fourth of the entire stage.

"This…" Edgar Pierce finally realized what was going on. Without him noticing, his surroundings are now covered with numerous earth walls tied together using vines and further reinforced with earth spikes. No wonder Guild Leader Loki was missing his attacks. So, it wasn't because he was in a panic. Rather, he was doing it on purpose in order to create something. He was so focused on defending and chasing after him that he didn't realize that his situation was slowly going into something he didn't want it to become.

"Let's try this," Edgar Pierce put his hand on one of the earth walls and cast, "Earth Burst!"

Whoooooosh!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Just like what happened before, the earth wall slowly began cracking after Edgar Pierce cast the Earth Burst spell to it. It didn't take that long for the earth wall to start crumbling down to the ground. 

"Just like I expected," Edgar Pierce shook his head, a bit disappointed at what he sees right now. After the earth wall finished crumbling, it didn't entirely fall to the ground like before and cleared a path for him. Instead, the earth wall merely deformed because of the vines that wrapped around its body and the earth spikes. To be more precise, the earth wall was like a wall covered in a multitude of cracks but was still sturdy and proudly standing tall against all odds.

"I should have known that Guild Leader Loki wouldn't do meaningless and unnecessary things, especially considering how meticulous he was when conserving his stamina and energy in all of his previous fights," Edgar Pierce realized. He looked around his surroundings and felt a bit lost. 

Although this thing that Guild Leader Loki had built wasn't really that big, and as a matter of fact, in Edgar Pierce's opinion, he could easily get out from here by simply asking his Golems to help him go to the top of one of those earth walls. But the problem is, how would he look for Guild Leader Loki after that? 

Obviously, Guild Leader Loki wouldn't just get out of this place once Edgar Pierce leaves. After all, that would make all of the effort, stamina, energy, and Mana that he had used to make this place completely useless. 

There's no doubt that Guild Leader Loki would use this place that he had built to his advantage. 

Aside from that, Edgar Pierce could already guess that their fight would just continue being at a stalemate after leaving this place and going outside. Well, he could continue exchanging attacks with Guild Leader Loki. But that's all there is to it and nothing more. 

"I can already expect that the method Guild Leader Loki had chosen to win this fight is a battle of attrition since he has more stamina and energy compared to me. As long as we continue being at a stalemate, he'd eventually wear down my stamina and energy. By that time, I'd have no other choice but to surrender because there would be no chance for me to win anymore. Wait…" Edgar Pierce suddenly realized something. He thought, "Is Guild Leader Loki perhaps planning to weaken me so that Osborne could win in the second round? And then he would surrender in the third round, allowing the latter to have two wins. Supposed Guild Leader Loki will win in our fight in the first round. In that case, he'd only need to win in his next fight to also get two wins. In the process, whoever would fight against me, they'll just surrender in order to give me two wins as well,"

"Damn!" Edgar Pierce can't refrain from swearing before asking in doubt, "But what if it's totally different to what I thought? Like, Guild Leader Loki is simply confident that he will pick Osborne when he picks his opponent next. And once again, he will give up on that round to give the latter two wins,"

Edgar Pierce heaved a sigh of frustration and expressed, "Aysttt! Next time, I will make sure not to make any intelligent people my enemy! I seriously didn't expect that it would be such a huge dilemma for me just thinking on how to deal against them, especially this Guild Leader Loki!" 

Whoooosh!

All of a sudden, an arrow penetrated the rock right in front of Edgar Pierce's face.

"Shit!" Edgar Pierce exclaimed as he jumped to the back of his Golem to hide. He looked at the place where he had heard the arrow coming from, but he found no one. "In this kind of place, Guild Leader Loki could be hiding anywhere,"

Whoooosh!

Bang!

The Golem raised its hand to block the incoming arrow from the side.

"There he is!" Edgar Pierce quickly spotted Guild Leader Loki after shooting his arrow. Unfortunately, it's already too late for him to chase after the latter, as he had long already concealed himself somewhere hidden once again. "Fuck!"

…..

At this moment, Leo is sneaking towards another location to launch another sneak attack on Edgar Pierce. But before doing that, he positioned himself at the place where he could shoot the two Sword Mantises.

"Edgar Pierce would definitely not expect that my main target for creating this place is his two Sword Mantises," Leo murmured with a mischievous smile on his face.

Initially, he thought of using Magic spells to create this place as he planned to use it to fight against Edgar Pierce and turn the table in his favor. But as soon as he finished, he saw an excellent opportunity to defeat the two Sword Mantises. 

"According to Eilajah, Beast Companions could relay information to their Master by sending the message to the latter's consciousness. The way this works is because of the contract that the Magical Beast has signed together with his Master, allowing both of them to communicate with each other. However, the information being relayed would have to depend on the intellect of the Beast Companion," Leo thought while observing the Sword Mantises closely. He continued, "The 1-Star level Sword Mantis is not a problem because there is no doubt that its intellect is inferior to a one-year-old baby,"

"As such, my only problem is the 2-Star level Sword Mantis," Leo turned his focus to the 2-Star level Sword Mantis. He thought, "But based on the information I've read in the Magical Beast encyclopedia, only 5-Star level Magical Beast really possess a high intellect that could be comparable to teenagers. Since this Sword Mantis is not at that level yet, meaning to say I also don't have to worry about it that much,"

"HEHEHE," Leo let out a mischievous chuckle as a plan was slowly brewing inside his mind.
