Whoooosh! Whoooosh!

Leo continued shooting arrows towards Edgar Pierce, while the latter, on the other hand, used his sword to block them, and at the same time, steadily shorten their distance.

"Fireball!" Edgar Pierce cast, swiftly creating two fireballs and shooting them towards the approaching arrows.

Whiiish! Whaaashhh!

The arrows were instantly burned upon making contact with the fireballs. Afterward, the fireballs continued traveling in Leo's direction.

"Vine!"

Whooosh! Whooosh!

Vines quickly lashed onto the flames, instantly extinguishing them. And this time, it was the vines that shot towards Edgar Pierce's direction. 

Seeing this, Edgar Pierce simply shrugged his shoulder off before positioning his land to prepare for a counterattack. 

As soon as the vines arrived closely, Edgar Pierce suddenly made a series of quick jolting movements with his hand holding the lance. 

Whoooosh! Whoooosh! Whooosh! 

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The next moment, multiple pieces of the vines being cut clean by Edgar Pierce's lance started falling to the ground. 

While cutting the vines, Edgar Pierce continued to shorten the distance between him and Guild Leader Loki, fully intending to go for a frontal assault than to keep on defending from all of his arrows. Also, he wanted to arrive at his Golems' location and cooperate with them to attack the latter. 

At this moment, Guild Leader Loki is moving around from one place to another, creating distance from the Golems in order to prevent them from reaching him. As a result, the Golems weren't providing any sort of help to Edgar Pierce.

Needless to say, Leo long already noticed what Edgar Pierce intended to do. As such, he is trying his best to prevent the latter from achieving that by moving around.

"Are you seriously intending to keep on running away?!" Edgar Pierce exclaimed while hiding behind his Golems.

"As much as I want to fight against you, but with the presence of the two Golems, don't you think it would be unfair for me?" Leo responded before he cast, "Earth wall!"

Whoooosh! Whoooosh!

Once again, Leo blocked the path of the Golems. Although the Golems could try destroying his earth walls, that would buy him some time to create even more distance from them.

"Then how about we fight one against one? That includes you not playing any tricks against me with Osborne," Edgar Pierce proposed.

"No thanks," Leo didn't hesitate to reject. After all, he's trying to make the finals less troublesome for him to win. That's the main reason why he made a deal with Osborne, to begin with. He added, "If you're trying to do exactly what I did to Eme Clarity in the first round, I advise you to stop. I showed you that trick, so it would naturally not work on me,"

"We won't know unless we try, right?" Edgar Pierce replied while raising his hand towards the earth walls as he soon cast, "Earth Burst!"

Whooooosh!

All of a sudden, the earth walls blocking their path forward started shaking extremely hard. In just a matter of a few seconds, cracks began showing on the surface of the earth walls.

"I wasn't able to use this Magic spell before because I was far away from your previous earth walls. But now that I am close enough, I could just destroy it using Earth Burst spell," Edgar Pierce said with a cunning look on his face.

Leo felt a bit surprised while watching his earth walls slowly getting destroyed by Edgar Pierce's Magic spell. Unfortunately, he has no method to stop the latter as his Golems are just beside him, ready to block his arrows once he shots them. 

It didn't take that long for the earth walls to finally be destroyed.

Booooom! Booooom!

Two loud explosions echoed throughout the stage as the earth walls turned into pieces. 

Slowly walking out from the cloud of dust was Edgar Pierce along with his two Golems following closely by his side, ready to protect him against Guild Leader Loki.

Without wasting any time, Edgar Pierce and his two Golems charged towards Guild Leader Loki's direction once again, still intending to achieve their goal of going into a frontal assault against the latter.

Meanwhile, Leo didn't just stand there and watch Edgar Pierce approach him. He started running away from them so that they wouldn't achieve their goal. Simultaneously, he is thinking inside of his mind about how to solve his current predicament. 

They might be in a stalemate right now. Still, once Edgar Pierce catches him, he would undoubtedly be put into a disadvantageous situation. 

"Should I wear my Magic garment again? But Edgar Pierce would certainly do the same as well," Leo thought. Like all the previous fights a while ago, once someone decides to take out a powerful item, their opponents would also do the same thing to avoid going into a disadvantageous situation. By then, the fight would become even more complex and troublesome to handle.

"Just forget it!" Leo dismisses the thought. He'd rather remain in this situation than wear his Magic garment again. Such a piece of powerful equipment should only be used in a dangerous situation where his life is being threatened, not something like this. 

"Let's think about something else," Leo murmured to himself. He started thinking, "In an open stage like this, there is almost nothing around my surroundings that I could make use to my advantage,"

"Well, there are some, but all of them are behind me. Like the vines scattered on the floor, the debris of my earth walls, and the location of my Earth Elementals. If I plan to make use of any of them, I would have no choice but to go back. So, relying on that would not make my situation even the least bit better. As a matter of fact, it would just make it even more dangerous, not to mention it's a stupid move,"

"I have faced a situation similar to this back then in the first round against Eme Clarity. And similarly, Osborne also experienced this during his fight against Selina. But during Osborne's fight, there was some left-over debris of his earth walls nearby that he thought of using to change his situation... Wait!"

  "That's it!" Leo made a sudden realization. He continued, "There might be nothing around me now. But… what if I try to create stuff around me?"

With that plan in mind, Leo quickly stored his bow and quiver inside his Storage Ring.

"What is he doing storing his weapon to fight against me? Does this perhaps mean that he finally plans on going into a melee fight? Hehehe, if he indeed intends to do that, then I could make use of my plans soon," Edgar Pierce thought to himself.

Contrary to what Edgar Pierce was expecting, Guild Leader Loki suddenly made a short turn with his right hand pointed towards his direction after storing his bow and quiver. From his lips, he cast, "Vines!"

Whoooosh! Whoooosh!

Dozens of vines came out from the ground and shot towards the direction of Edgar Pierce.

"This again?" Edgar Pierce felt a bit disappointed. He was expecting that Guild Leader Loki would surprise him or something after storing his weapons. He added, "So this is your plan? Store your weapons and focus on casting Magic spells instead?"

"I am a Mage, so what do you expect me to do?!" Leo replied before casting another Magic spell. This time, it was an Earth wall spell.

Whooosh! Whoooosh!

Earth walls started rising from the ground. But they didn't rise in front of Edgar Pierce to block him. Rather they appeared seemingly in random directions.

As soon as the earth walls appeared, the vines split and made a sudden turn towards the earth walls. They soon wrapped their bodies around them before targeting Edgar Pierce once again.

"What is he doing?" Edgar Pierce felt doubtful. Regardless, he ordered his Golems to block the incoming vines for him. Unlike the last time, though, he has his Golems now to help him. Thus he doesn't need to waste any stamina and energy to counter Guild Leader Loki's attack.

"If you are trying to waste my stamina and energy just like what Selina did to Osborne in their fight, then you're hugely mistaken because that will also never happen! Don't forget, I have my Golems to help me!" Edgar Pierce scoffed. He continued, "You're the only one who's going to be wasting your stamina and energy by doing that. Although you have more than Osborne and I combined, there are still future fights for you to win. So, I suggest you think of a different plan! If you ask me, it's much better for you to just choose to surrender and give me this win! HAHAHA!"

Leo chose to ignore Edgar Pierce's words as he continued to cast Magic spell after another Magic spell. He rotates casting Vines spell, Earth Wall spell, and Earth spikes spell. He sometimes even uses a Water jet spell and a Fireball spell to try and confuse Edgar Pierce and prevent him from finding out what exactly he was planning on doing.

"I just need to continue doing this until I finally create a stage that's advantageous for me," Leo thought.
