Chapter 741: Angering Selina (1/2)
Proofreader: M_M Miss Fierce
”Took you long enough to defeat Edi,” Edgar Pierce said.
”I didn't see any need to rush,” Leo responded.
”Was it really necessary for you to almost burn Edi to death?” Selina raised one of her eyebrows in curiosity.
”He clearly had everything under control, so why bother about that?” Edgar Pierce shook his head helplessly at Selina. From her tone alone, she seems not to like the method that Guild Leader Loki had chosen.
That was indeed precisely what Selina felt. She doesn't like the method that Guild Leader Loki had chosen. In her opinion, it would have been fine for him to do that against Edi if he was instead a hidden member of the Naughty Elves Organization. But clearly, the latter wasn't. Edi is just an ordinary genius from a particular force in the Emerald Tree Kingdom. In addition to that, she also felt the same way as what that staff in charge of their fight, that killing Edi would be such a waste for all the things he could possibly do in the future for many people living in the territory.
”In the end, Edi was still safe and alive, right? So, what you feel doesn't matter anymore,” Leo expressed his thought. But he then quickly changed the topic to prevent their conversation from going into a terrible turn, ”Is there still no winner between Osborne and Faye?”
”You can see it for yourself,” Edgar Pierce pointed towards the fight between Osborne and Faye that is happening right now. He added, ”Both of their fights against Harold and Coni, respectively, ended so quickly that I wasn't able to watch it. But until now, their fight has still not ended, and it is pretty obvious from the sight alone what the reason is,”
Leo turned to look at the ongoing fight between Osborne against Faye and soon after saw a surprising sight.
Currently, Osborne stood in front of Faye, seemingly like an immovable mountain or a giant wearing metal armor. While Faye, on the other hand, albeit not looking threatening enough due to her thin feminine figure, was still someone not to be underestimated about due to her wearing her 5-Star level armor.
The two continued trading blow for blow, but all of their attacks were infective against each other as they all merely landed on their tough armors. This was regardless of their attacks being dealt with using weapons.
Just from this sight alone, one would easily understand why their fight hasn't yet ended because both of them are wearing armors that increase their defenses. As a result, neither of their attacks were proven to be effective to the other as they all couldn't get through to their defenses.
”Shocking, right?” Edgar Pierce asked wryly.
”Are these two planning to decide who's the winner based on who has the toughest defense between the two of them?” Leo can't help asking.
”Most likely,” Edgar Pierce replied while caressing his chin, a bit intrigued by such a development. If things would indeed turn out that way, then they'd have more time to recover their stamina and energy.
With that in mind, Edgar Pierce secretly glimpses at Guild Leader Loki by the side as he realizes that it would undoubtedly become unfavorable for him by that time as he had been conserving his stamina and energy all this time. The latter should still be thinking that no one had noticed his plan yet when in truth, he had already found out about it based on his actions. Furthermore, his line right now just further proven his assumptions.
”Then I guess we have more time to observe the capability of one of our potential opponents,” Leo crossed his legs on the ground.
”Exactly,” Edgar Pierce nodded his head in agreement. Indeed, aside from making the later rounds difficult for Guild Leader Loki, he could also learn more about Osborne's capability. Thus he can prepare himself if ever he becomes his opponent. In other words, he was hitting two birds with one stone.
”So, who do you guys think will win?” Selina suddenly asked.
Hearing Selina's question, Leo and Edgar Pierce simultaneously turned to look at her with strange expressions on each of their faces. In their minds, they both asked, ”Isn't it pretty evident already who will win?”
”Why, is there something on my face?” Selina quickly took a mirror from her Storage Ring to check if there was anything on her face. But after checking herself in the mirror, she didn't find anything. Hence, she looked at Elmont by her side, who had remained silent all this time while focusing all of his attention on the fight between Osborne against Faye.
”Hey, Elmont,” Selina poked Elmont by his shoulder to interrupt him and get his attention.
