After those three teams were sent out far from the reach of each other, they immediately stood up from the ground and prepared to fight against Ahmed's team.
Even though they knew clearly well that it would be far from achievable for them to come out as a winner in the fight against Ahmed's team, especially considering that they have one or two men less compared to them, that still doesn't mean that they cannot cause them trouble, or best-case scenario, kill at least one of them.
But to their ultimate surprise, even after ten or so of minutes have passed, there were still no signs of Ahmed's team appearing. They couldn't help but think that maybe the other teams had already killed them. Though such a thought had only lasted for a bit since they didn't hear any sounds coming from the location of where the other teams had fallen. Even if they don't know for certain where exactly those other teams are right now, it shouldn't be that far away, which could still allow them to hear if ever there is indeed a fight happening.
It was only after a fair bit more of time waiting that they finally realized that Ahmed's team had probably already left them. Considering that they no longer serve any threat nor benefits to them, that should most likely be the case as of now. Albeit, they still didn't let down their guard. Based on their past experiences, the least they expected their opponents to come, it would also be that moment where they would finally strike.
Unfortunately, that seems to not really be the case as they looked around their surroundings. To be more precise, they were now trapped with nowhere else to go aside from the four corners around them.
”They trolled us!”
”Are they fucking pranking us?!”
”I'd rather die than stay in this shit hole and wait for my death!”
”Ah! What a bunch of assholes!”
”If ever I get out of this place alive, I swear to the Moon Elf God that I will come to look for all of them and make them pay the price!”
In the end, no matter how loud and threatening their words were, there was still no chance for Ahmed's team to come back and finish what they have started.
With no other choices left, they could only try to destroy the walls around them or accept their Fate of getting stuck here, either until the second game 'The Maze' ends or when the barrier caught them and kill all of them.
As for the people who had caused them to suffer such Fate, they were long already far away from their location and are now approaching their next target.
Just like the last time, Leo intended to simply kill their target while leaving the rest of the members of the team alive and trapped inside some kind of hole or the likes again. In such a way, the total number of eliminated teams wouldn't rise since they didn't kill all of them, and there is also a low possibility for those trapped teams to be killed by other teams who would luckily stumble upon them, as there is no way out, nor is there a way to get in.
The means they have used in order to achieve such a result is by simply using the Doorway Keys. This time, they used its opposite function, which is closing the door, or in that case, create a door to block their way out.
It wasn't really that great of a surprise how the Doorway Keys were able to create walls. Just like how it was able to open and close a hole, what they simply did was the complete reverse to that, specifically close and open a hole. To be more precise, they created a wall out from the ground, similar to how a hole would close after they have no use to them anymore, and then open a hole, which is how those three teams fell into those traps.
Inside the control room, Leo was the loudest of all as he kept on sending a series of commands after another to Ahmed's team.
Unlike Orcborg and Selina's team, who only fight against one team each time, in Leo's case, Ahmed's team were handling two to three teams at the same time.
They are kiting the teams to meet with each other and then eliminate their targets before making them fall into a trap. Once they are done with that, they would immediately leave the place to look for the next target.
Their action might cause more suspicion to the Naughty Elves organization watching the Emerald Elven Battle Competition, but it wasn't all the time that they would target teams with members of the Naughty Elves organization. After all, they were no longer intending to completely eliminate the team, but rather, in the words of those who first fell victim to their scheme, they were simply trolling, pranking, or having fun with them. So there is no harm done if they will target those innocent teams. As long as they will not completely eliminate all the members of the team, everything could still be considered as good.
They keep on repeating Leo's plan over and over again until eventually they killed more than 10 members of the Naughty Elves organization and is now quickly approaching the number of 20.
Every single time that Ahmed's team defeated a team, the crowd watching them would immediately cheer loudly in excitement and thrill.
What they were showing to everyone was quite the literal meaning of what Tila had mentioned before, the Mischievous Lion's playground.
Because Ahmed's team was hindering the intention of the others teams to eliminate a total of 25 teams, the number could only increase rather slow.
Seconds turned to minutes, and minutes turned into an hour. But despite that, the previous 19 total eliminated teams had hardly increased. As of now, that number had merely increased by three teams, totaling 23 total eliminated teams.
