Chapter 757 Edgar Pierce\'s predicament

After a few more minutes, Leo shot the last arrow that he needed to complete his plan. 

"Now that everything is done, all I need to do is to send my Golems away so that they won\'t get implicated," Leo thought to himself before sending an order to his Golems to slowly retreat away from the two Sword Mantises.

Hearing Leo\'s order, the Golems started retreating while making sure not to raise any suspicion to the two Sword Mantises. To achieve that, they slowly retreated one at a time, until eventually, only two Golems remained to take care of the two Sword Mantises. 

At that moment, the Golems deliberately let themselves receive a powerful attack from the Sword Mantises. They continued stumbling for a few tens of meters before coming to a halt, creating a far enough distance between each other.

In the next moment, a sudden earth wall rose from the ground in front of the two Sword Mantises, which hindered them from chasing the two Golems. 

Just when the two Sword Mantises planned to jump on top of the earth wall in order to continue chasing after the Golems, a few explosions suddenly erupted right beside them.

Boooom! Boooom!

The two Sword Mantises shot to the opposite side while feeling shocked and confused about what just happened. They then conveyed a message to Edgar Pierce, telling him of the explosions.

Even without the Sword Mantises telling him what transpired on their side, Edgar Pierce could somewhat expect already what had happened. After all, the earth wall that blocked their path wouldn\'t just appear without any reason. Evidently, Guild Leader Loki had decided to attack his two Sword Mantises. 

"Why did Guild Leader Loki suddenly attack my two Sword Mantises?" Edgar Pierce was also feeling confused. And because of that, he didn\'t hastily move away from his location, a bit suspicious that this is precisely what Guild Leader Loki wanted him to do. 

"I can only think of two reasons," Edgar Pierce thought. He continued, "Firstly, Guild Leader Loki wanted to distract me so that he could successfully land a sneak attack on me. After all, he has not once had any successful sneak attacks until now. So, he probably wanted to change this, and his way of doing so is by diverting my attention to my two Sword Mantises,"

"Secondly, Guild Leader Loki prepared a trap along the way to my two Sword Mantises, and he intends to make me leave this place so that he can make me fall into that trap,"

"Regardless of whichever of the two it would be, I believe that it would still be much better for me to continue with my plan. I already know where Guild Leader Loki would appear next, and all I have to do now is to wait for him to appear," Edgar Pierce confidently proclaimed. He added, "And besides, could Guild Leader Loki defeat my two Sword Mantises? It might be a different story if there was only my 1-Star level Sword Mantis, but with the assistance of my 2-Star level Sword Mantis, let alone Guild Leader Loki, even if he has the assistance of his five Golems, it would still be next to impossible…"

Before Edgar Pierce could finish his line, another series of explosions sounded on the side of his two Sword Mantises. In his consciousness, he heard the report of his two Sword Mantises, telling him that they were being bombarded by numerous Fireball spells. 

"What?!!! But how?!" Edgar Pierce exclaimed in disbelief. It would have been reasonable for that to happen if he wasn\'t only fighting against one opponent. Just how on Celestial World could Guild Leader Loki bombard his two Sword Mantises?

"Don\'t tell me…" There was only one thought inside Edgar Pierce\'s mind, "Is it possible that Guild Leader Loki is actually capable of multi-casting Magic spells?"

That was the only reason Edgar Pierce could think about to explain how Guild Leader Loki could bombard his two Sword Mantises.

Shortly after receiving the report about Guild Leader Loki bombarding them, Edgar Pierce\'s two Sword Mantises sent another message about being attacked by Guild Leader Loki\'s Golems. 

Honestly, Edgar Pierce wouldn\'t have to worry about his two Sword Mantises being attacked by Guild Leader Loki\'s Golems. But the problem here is the fact that the five Golems aren\'t blindly attacking his two Sword Mantises. Instead, they are pushing them into places where they could be easily attacked by fireballs.

"I don\'t have any time to wait here. Suppose I don\'t help my two Sword Mantises now. In that case, there is a huge possibility that they will be eliminated," Edgar Pierce no longer hesitated as he ordered his Golems to bring him above the earth walls so he could easily find the location of his two Sword Mantises.

"Wait…" Edgar Pierce made a sudden realization the moment he was on top of the earth wall. He thought, "Now that I am here, I should be able to see some red-colored Magic circles indicating the location of where Guild Leader Loki is casting his Fireball spells,"

With that thought in mind, Edgar Pierce started looking around his surroundings. He set aside the continuous explosions on his two Sword Mantises for the moment, as he believes that as soon as he found Guild Leader Loki, he\'d be able to stop the latter from continuing to attack his two Sword Mantises.

Contrary to what Edgar Pierce was expecting, after thoroughly looking around his surroundings. He was still unable to find Guild Leader Loki\'s whereabouts. It wasn\'t only that, he was also unable to see any red-colored Magic circles.

"If he\'s not on top, then there\'s only one location where Guild Leader Loki could possibly be," Edgar Pierce said before starting to move nearby the location of his two Sword Mantises. 

Along the way, Edgar Pierce could see the unfortunate state of his two Sword Mantises being pushed around towards places where a series of explosions would soon erupt. As a matter of fact, he could already hear his 1-Star level Sword Mantis begging him to take it back as it had already received a lot of injuries. While his 2-Star level Sword Mantis, on the other hand, despite being in a better condition than the former, was still suffering from a lot of wounds.

"I need to look for Guild Leader Loki quickly! Otherwise, even if my two Sword Mantises survive, they would no longer be able to continue fighting nor help me in the future fights," Edgar Pierce hasten his movements to reach his destination as soon as possible.

It didn\'t take that long for Edgar Pierce to arrive at the location he intended to go to. The location that he meant is the edge of this place that Guild Leader Loki had created. Since he didn\'t find Guild Leader Loki on top of the earth walls, then the likely place he could be hiding is below the earth walls. To be more precise, those locations that could allow the latter to attack at his two Sword Mantises without anything blocking his sight.

Edgar Pierce started looking around his surroundings without wasting any time, trying to find Guild Leader Loki\'s figure and stop him from assaulting his two Sword Mantises. 

However, Edgar Pierce was still unable to find Guild Leader Loki even after spending a few minutes looking for him. It was as if he was invisible or something.

"Is Guild Leader Loki using an invisibility cloak or an item with a similar effect?" Edgar Pierce thought to himself. Despite saying that, he still didn\'t give up looking for Guild Leader Loki\'s whereabouts, hoping that he was just hiding somewhere nearby.

"Just where could he possibly be?" Edgar Pierce muttered.

All of a sudden, an arrow passed through Edgar Pierce\'s cheeks while he was looking below him.

Edgar Pierce didn\'t hesitate to hide to the nearby vines to prevent Guild Leader Loki from hitting him.

"So, you\'d be the one to find me instead," Edgar Pierce said.

"How could I not find you with you standing so blatantly. Say, have you not considered hiding while looking for me?" Leo replied while his bow was still pointing towards where Edgar Pierce was currently hiding.

"I did, but just to make sure that I would really find you, I purposely revealed myself to you," Edgar Pierce explained. 

"Was it because you\'re confident that I won\'t kill you?" Leo assumed.

"What else? Knowing that you are one of his Highness, Elmont\'s friends, I presumed that you have probably heard from him already that they strictly don\'t encourage killing participants in the Emerald Elven Battle Competition. Unless if they are members of the Guild whose name we can\'t mention," Edgar Pierce heaved a sigh of relief. Although he said those lines, he was still feeling a bit afraid of Guild Leader Loki\'s arrow that nearly took his life away from him. Honestly, if it wasn\'t for that reason, he would certainly not gamble with his life on the line.

"It seems like luck is in your side," Leo said as his lips slowly formed into a mischievous smile. He might have given Edgar Pierce a chance now, but that certainly doesn\'t mean that he would keep on giving him one.. The next time the latter gives him another opportunity similar to this, he\'d make sure not to waste it anymore.
