Chapter 734: There is a reason why I am called the Mischievous Lion part 2 (1/2)

Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce

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.
