Chapter 761 Osborne's simple plan

Honestly, there was truly no need for Leo to say any encouraging lines to Osborne. Because their plan from the very start was pretty simple. It was so simple that the latter might not have to expend even a tiny ounce of his stamina and energy in his fight against Edgar Pierce. As a matter of fact, Osborne could also choose not to use any of his Mana. 

He was only reminding Osborne in case the latter would try to do something else that wasn't a part of their plan. Supposed that indeed happened. In that case, he would have no other choice but to accept it as it would be more than too late for him to try and change anything. And as a result of that action, the only choice remaining for him in order to win the Emerald Elven Battle Competition would be to reveal even more of his trump cards against Edgar Pierce since he can already expect that he won't be able to win easily against the latter again like what he had done this time.

Revealing more of his trump cards was something that he had always tried to prevent from happening. That's because most of his trump cards would make him the target of most of the forces in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, including the Naughty Elves organization. An example of that trump card would be his talent that he had discovered back then when he was still studying in the Silver Mage Academy, the capability to multi-cast Magic spells.

Truth be told, although he has this capability, he had never ever tried using it from the moment it was discovered. Needless to say, he knows fully well how to use it. He was always hiding his capability to multi-cast Magic spells in fear of causing trouble to himself. And besides, most of the events he had encountered until now did not require him to use everything he had got. Whenever he faces something that he can't handle, there's always the Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild to help him or other people like his Master, Olivia. 

Nevertheless, he had not grown complacent just because he had the help of influential and powerful people. And that's precisely the main reason why he doesn't plan on letting anyone find out about more of his trump cards. Unless the situation is dangerous or life-threatening, only then would he consider revealing more of his trump cards. That obviously excludes the Emerald Elven Battle Competition, as it isn't dangerous or even life-threatening. Even though some people had died, those only happened because those teams had members of the Naughty Elves organization with them. Other than them, only a few people had been killed up until now.

Osborne slowly walked to the opposite corner of Edgar Pierce to prepare for his fight against the latter.

Not long after, Osborne and Edgar Pierce were finally in position for their fight.

"Are you ready?" The staff asked Osborne.

"Yes!" Osborne replied.

"And how about you, are you ready?" The staff asked the same question to Edgar Pierce.

"Let's just start," Edgar Pierce really can't be bothered wasting more time with this. In his mind, he wants to end this fight as quickly as possible so that he can finally start recuperating the stamina and energy that he had lost during his fight against Guild Leader Loki.

"As you wish," The staff didn't mind Edgar Pierce's rudeness and announced, "Begin!"

After hearing the staff's announcement, Edgar Pierce didn't waste any time as he summoned his two Sword Mantises and two Golems. Following that, he raised his hand forward and started chanting a Magic spell.

Meanwhile, Osborne merely let out a yawn while watching the preparation that Edgar Pierce was doing. He did not even take out his weapon nor a shield to protect himself.

Seeing this, Edgar Pierce halted his chanting before asking Osborne out of curiosity, "What are you doing? The staff has already announced the beginning of our fight!"

"I want to see what you plan on doing before I decide on what to do," Osborne nonchalantly responded.

Edgar Pierce shrugged his shoulder off while saying, "Suit yourself,"

After saying that, Edgar Pierce started casting a Magic spell again and pointed it towards Osborne's direction. Of course, now that he knows what the latter planned on doing, he decides to not cast the Magic spell he previously planned on casting. After all, he doesn't want Osborne to know what he is planning yet.

"Earth wall!" Edgar Pierce cast.

Whooosh! Whooosh! 

Two earth walls rise from the back and right side of Osborne.

Contrary to what Edgar Pierce was expecting, Osborne still remained utterly nonchalant. He did not even express any surprise or cautiousness after two of his sides were blocked by him.

"Is it because he's tall enough to easily climb the earth walls? So, he's not feeling the least bit worried about it," Edgar Pierce thought to himself. With the height of Osborne, he could simply jump once and reach the top of the earth wall using his hand. And by using his hands, he could easily climb on top of it.

"That should be it," Edgar Pierce assumed. He continued, "Let me try something else,"

"Water jet!" Edgar Pierce cast.

Whooosh! Whooosh!

Two jets of water shot towards Osborne's body. 

However, similar to the previous time, Osborne still did not react. 

Bang! Bang!

Two muffled explosions echoed as the two jets of water landed on the armor that Osborne was wearing. 

Looking closely at Osborne's armor, not even a scratch was left by the two jets of water that Edgar Pierce had cast.

"Oh, wait, I almost forgot to remove my armor," Osborne muttered before taking off the armor he was wearing and storing it inside his Storage Ring. Afterward, he took out an ordinary armor and wore it. Once he was done with that, he motioned his hand and said to Edgar Pierce, "I'll let you try again,"

Edgar Pierce was instantly rendered dumbfounded after hearing Osborne's words. Just what the heck is wrong with Osborne? He admits that he forgot to take into consideration the 5-Star level armor that Osborne was previously wearing before he decided to cast a Water Jet spell on him. But was there really a need for the latter to take off his armor after that? In his opinion, Osborne could have used that brief moment where he was still clueless about his advantage to launch a counterattack against him instead of saying that he forgot to remove his armor.

However, since Osborne was so stupid to do that, Edgar Pierce didn't hesitate to take advantage of this opportunity. He replied, "I really appreciate your concern, Osborne. And I hope you don't mind and say that I am taking advantage of you. Wait… you won't do that, right?

"Don't worry, I won't," Osborne said in assurance. Why would he do that, when in fact, what is happening right now was exactly as what Guild Leader Loki had planned.

"How about I'll do this instead. I'll tell you what I planned on doing, and you are free to do whatever you want to counter my Magic spell," Edgar Pierce proposed.

"Whatever you deemed fit," Osborne waved his hand.

"Okay! I really hope you won't hate me after this," Edgar Pierce raised his hand once more and pointed it towards Osborne's direction. He warned the latter, "I am going to cast another Earth wall spell,"

"Go on," Osborne once again expressed that he doesn't care about it.

With a scoff, Edgar Pierce cast, "Earth wall!"

Whooosh! Whooosh!

Instantly, the last two remaining open sides around Osborne were blocked entirely by earth walls. Hence, there's no longer any way out for him, who's in the center, except if he decides to climb on top of the earth wall.

But what Osborne doesn't know, Edgar Pierce had already prepared another Magic spell to prevent the former from escaping away. And to assure that Osborne would truly have a hard time escaping, he ordered his two Sword Mantises to go to the back while his two Golems would guard both sides. At the same time, he started surrounding Osborne with flames by combining the Vine spell and Fireball spell. Of course, the person who taught him this method was none other than Guild Leader Loki.

Edgar Pierce can't help glimpsing at Guild Leader Loki's direction, wanting to know the latter's reaction after seeing that he used his own plan against his ally. He could already imagine the ugly expression on Guild Leader Loki's face right now while looking at his scheme.

"Eh?" Edgar Pierce felt doubtful at what he was looking at. 

At this moment, Guild Leader Loki wasn't wearing an ugly expression nor any kind of expression related to that. 

A total opposite to what Edgar Pierce was expecting, Guild Leader Loki was instead smiling mischievously at him. It was as if he was mocking him for what he was doing.

All of a sudden, Edgar Pierce heard a loud voice coming from the center of his earth walls, which instantly made him feel like he was a fool.

"I surrender,"
