Without Eme Clarity noticing, as she continued to follow wherever Guild Leader Loki went, she was also consuming a lot of her energy and stamina. This was because she was fending off against the vines that intents to trap her while at the same time also defending herself from the arrows that Guild Leader Loki shots at her from time to time. Aside from that, her mind is also functioning twice or thrice the speed she was normally used to, causing even more consumption to her energy and stamina. If this continues, then it would only take some time more before she finally gets exhausted. By that time, she\'d be free for Guild Leader Loki to take.

That wasn\'t only the problem...

"Come and get close to me, Guild Leader Loki!" Eme Clarity exclaimed loudly while watching Guild Leader Loki getting farther and farther away from her every time she tried to close the distance between them. It is very annoying and irritating since she can\'t do anything with him so far away from her.. Not only that, but she also can\'t try to use that against him because he always maintains an appropriate distance where she can\'t get out of the range of his Vine spells by simply retreating to her rear or to any side around her.

"Why should I?" Leo replied teasingly. Naturally, he won\'t get close to Eme Clarity nor even think of doing so as that might just accidentally cause the entire situation to turn against his favor, just like what had just happened to her not so long ago. In other words, he plans to maintain the current situation and win the fight easily by doing this. 

"You coward! Weakling! Shameless! Useless! Piece of trash!..." Eme Clarity continued to taunt Guild Leader Loki, hoping that he\'d change his mind and get triggered in rage. At that moment, she might just have the chance to get what she wanted, which is the advantage in the fight and dominating him.

Hearing all of Eme Clarity\'s taunting, Leo simply shook his head dismissively. As if he was going to fall for such an obvious trap. That would only happen if he was as stupid as Emir and Dominic were.

"Watch out!" Leo said while smiling mischievously. Afterward, he let go of his hand holding the string, swiftly shooting the arrow nocked onto the bow towards Eme Clarity\'s direction.

Whoooosh!

Bang!

Eme Clarity was easily able to block the arrow by swinging her sword. But in the next moment, she suddenly notices the feeling of fatigue affecting her entire body, causing her actions to become weary and difficult to move. With eyes wide open in fear, she muttered, "How can this be...?"

It was at this moment that Eme Clarity finally discovered what was precisely going on, "Don\'t tell me that your intention wasn\'t to eliminate me, but to exhaust me instead?"

"As expected of a genius from the Clarity Noble Household. You were able to quickly guess what I just did," Leo complimented. 

"Only a fool wouldn\'t," Eme Clarity replied while wearing a helpless look on her face. With the current situation right now, she no longer has any ounces of chance for a comeback. Her body is already feeling the fatigue of all of the actions she has been doing up until now, and to make matters even more worst, her mind is also feeling almost fully exhausted. Even if she could, by any chance, win the fight against Guild Leader Loki, in the end, she\'d just become a chicken ready to be slaughtered by any other remaining players in the second round due to her lack of sufficient energy and stamina. In comparison to her, Guild Leader Loki seems to not have even used half of his energy and stamina during their entire fight. 

Having made that thought in mind, Eme Clarity realized that, "You want to conserve your energy and stamina so you won\'t have to face any trouble in the second round, aren\'t you?"

"You are really full of surprises, Eme Clarity. Yes, I indeed want to conserve my energy and stamina. That\'s why I decided to go with a fight without much fighting. To be more precise, I intend to make you use your energy and stamina until you are completely exhausted, which will then allow me to defeat you without any trouble," Leo nodded his head without any intention of hiding the truth. Well, there is really no use hiding the truth from someone who is expected to lose the fight anyway. The worst-case scenario is that she\'d just share her experience with Elder Emilia Clarity and Great Protector Lucid. 

With Eme Clarity finally close to exhaustion, Leo decided to slowly approach her. But just to be safe, he used his vines to prevent her from making any move. Unlike how she trapped him previously, though, he trapped her body in an X-shape to prevent her from using a similar method to how he had escaped. 

"Before finally eliminating me, can you honor me with an answer to my question?" Eme Clarity asked. Resignation to her Fate was evident in her voice, implying that she would not resist anymore and let Guild Leader Loki eliminate her peacefully.

"As long as it isn\'t something that I don\'t like, then I would answer your question," Leo replied.

"Thank you," Eme Clarity heaved a heavy sigh before continuing, "Just when did you start scheming this plan?"

Leo started thinking for a bit before eventually replying in a whisper to Eme Clarity\'s ear, "I think it was after you caught me in your trap. Albeit that wasn\'t really the beginning of everything. You obviously don\'t know this, but from the Survival Games until now, my main objective has always remained to conserve my stamina and energy,"

"Why?" Eme Clarity asked silently in curiosity.

"There is a reason why I am called the Mischievous Lion," Leo paused while raising the handle of his dagger above the nape of Eme Clarity, ending to make her unconscious to eliminate her. After his hand reached the limit he could extend it to, he continued, "That is because I don\'t tell anyone who is not involved about my plans unless I have already achieved my goal in mind,"

Bang!

Eme Clarity immediately went unconscious after getting hit by the handle of Leo\'s dagger. Afterward, he quickly caught her falling figure in his arms before slowly making her lay down on the ground below him.

"I hope you\'ll have a good rest," Leo whispered to Eme Clarity\'s ear for one last time.

As soon as Eme Clarity was eliminated, the staff in-charged of their fight announced, "Eme Clarity is now eliminated! Guild Leader Loki can now proceed to the second round,"

"Since some of the players are still fighting, you can go to the side first to wait for them. You can use this time to recuperate the energy and stamina that you have lost," The staff informed Leo.

"Thank you," Leo expressed his appreciation before walking to the side to rest.

The moment Leo sat down to rest at the side, his eyes started surveying the other players who were currently fighting and those who had already won their fight.

Currently, the number of ongoing fights is three, which means that aside from him, there is only one more person whose fight has ended before him.

Looking around, he soon spotted Edgar Pierce, who was waving his hand towards him while slowly approaching his direction, "Your battle was really one of a kind. From all the previous Emerald Elven Battle Competition that I have watched, only this year have I seen someone who prefers scheming rather than fighting,"

"Everyone has their own way of fighting. Mine is just more on the scheming side than having a physical fight," Leo replied. Of course, he won\'t tell Edgar Pierce the truth that he didn\'t go for a physical fight against Eme Clarity because he wanted to conserve energy and stamina for the second round and the rounds after that. After all, he is considered as his potential enemy in the second round. Aside from that, he is also one of the people he labeled as a threat to achieving a championship.

"Oh, then it seems like I would have to watch out against your schemes if ever I get chosen to be your opponent in the second round," Edgar Pierce said with a cunning smile on his face.

"The question is, will you even be able to watch out for my scheme once we fight? Remember, you didn\'t even notice my scheme during the Survival Games last time. So, who can say for certain that it won\'t happen again," Leo responded while wearing a mischievous smile on his face. As if he was going to back down when facing Edgar Pierce.

"Fair enough," Edgar Pierce retracted his cunning smile as he sat down next to Guild Leader Loki.
