Chapter 767 Disbanding the alliance with Osborne

After Elmont left, Leo, Osborne, and Edgar Peirce turned their attention to Princess Tila.
"Participants," Princess Tila called out. She continued, "Each of you will choose a corner that you want. Just make sure that there is a fifty square meters of distance in between each of you,"
Hearing Princess Tila's instruction, Leo, Osborne, and Edgar Pierce made their way towards the location they wanted.
Leo only moved a few meters since he was already in the southern area of the stage. On the other hand, Osborne and Edgar Pierce went west and east of the stage, respectively.
Seeing everyone's position, Princess Tila went to the north so that she could have a full view of everyone and at the same time not disrupt them accidentally. Although she is high up in the air, that still doesn't guarantee that she's safe from their attacks. As such, she should go to a place where there are no players nearby.
"The rules and mechanics of the Battle Royal are very simple," Princess Tila paused before she continued, "The rules are you are only allowed to use items under the 2-Star level, and one cannot use any items that will instantly eliminate a player. Other than that, any other methods to fight are allowed. But I suggest you don't kill anyone unless it is absolutely necessary or you can't avoid it. But I reckon that none of you hold any grudges to anyone here, so I hope no one dies,"
"This is a free for all fight, so you are allowed to attack any of the remaining players. Alliance is allowed. Resting is also allowed. But I'll be limiting the maximum duration of this game to thirty minutes. Once only ten minutes remained on the clock, all the players on stage would have to move to the center to decide the champion,"
"The last player remaining would become the champion. And the player who was eliminated before that would be in the second place, and the first player to be eliminated would be in the third place. Any questions or clarifications?" Princess Tifa finished explaining about the Battle Royal. Honestly, there was no need for her to repeat the introduction of the Battle Royal again since her brother Elmont had already introduced it before. And just from the name alone, one can already guess how it works. But just to make sure that everyone really understood, she decided to explain it again.
"No!" Leo, Osborne, and Edgar Pierce replied in unison.
"Are you sure?" Princess Tila asked to confirm.
Leo, Osborne, and Edgar Pierce nodded their heads in understanding.
"Since that's the case," Princess Tila raised her arm above her head. Afterward, she dropped her arm and announced, "Let the fight begin!"
In the next moment, Leo and Osborne lunged themselves at the same time towards Edgar Pierce.
Seeing this, Edgar Pierce didn't hesitate to summon his two Golems to defend him. Simultaneously, he raised his hand and cast, "Earth Wall!"
Whooooosh! Whooooosh!
Two earth walls rose from the ground in front of Edgar Pierce to further defend against Guild Leader Loki and Osborne.
"It seems like I have to fight against the two of them at the same time," Edgar Pierce heave a sigh of helplessness.
Contrary to what Edgar Pierce was expecting, though, just when Guild Leader Loki and Osborne arrived close to him, Guild Leader Loki suddenly cast a Fireball spell towards Osborne.
Whooooosh!
Booom!
"What are you doing?" Osborne asked in surprise.
"Didn't you wish to fight fair and square?" Leo asked while wearing a mischievous smile on his face.
"But that doesn't matter! We are not fighting for ourselves. We are fighting for our respective teams!" Osborne objected.
"Is that really what you want?" Leo asked in doubt.
Hearing Guild Leader Loki's words, Osborne smiled as he felt grateful for his intention. But he shook his head and said, "I really appreciate your good intention. However, there's still plenty of opportunities in the future for me to fight for my honor. This moment is just not one of them,"
"Do you think I care?" Leo shrugged his shoulder off. Since he had already decided to break off this alliance with Osborne. Whether the latter would agree about it or not, it doesn't matter to him. And besides, he has not signed any contract with Osborne or Orcborg yet. Because of that, there's nothing legally or Magical holding him back from his decision.
"This was not part of our agreement!" Osborne still continued persuading Guild Leader Loki not to break their alliance. Even though this is what he wanted, it is not in the best interest of the Red Fist Guild. As a member of the Red Fist Guild and one of the geniuses they have trained on top of that, he has to think of what benefits the Guild could gain rather than think of something personal. Truthfully speaking, from the moment he accepted his current position, he has also forfeited the choice of being selfish.
"I don't remember signing any agreement. Do you? How about we ask Edgar Pierce?" Leo turned his attention to Edgar Pierce, who is currently wearing a dumbfounded look on his face.
"Huh? Me?" Edgar Pierce was still unable to understand what exactly was going on… No! He understands what is going on. But he just doesn't believe that this is really happening. Although this was something that he had hoped to happen. Seeing it with his own eyes is an entirely different story to just thinking about it.
"Yes, you! Did you see Osborne and me signing any agreement or not? Just to remind you, your answer will decide what will happen next," Leo repeated his question.
"No… no! I did not see you and Osborne signing any agreement with each other…." Edgar Pierce answered while occasionally stuttering. He was unable to ultimately hold his excitement now that he finally pulled himself together. This was what he wanted from the moment he decided to support Guild Leader Loki and Osborne in their plan of going to the Battle Royal.
"What do you think you're doing?! Please mind your words, Edgar Pierce. Otherwise, I won't have any choice but to…."
Edgar Pierce quickly interrupted Osborne, "Otherwise what? You will beat me up?" He opened his arms wide open and continued, "Aren't we already doing that now? The only question is, can you do it?"
Osborne secretly smiled before he muttered, "You asked for it!"
Whoooosh!
After saying that, Osborne kicked his feet and lunged himself towards Edgar Pierce.
"Now, this is what I want!" Leo expressed his excitement. Despite not wanting trouble, a good fight is still something that he enjoys experiencing. Well, who doesn't? Besides, now that he had helped the Evergreen Royal Family solve a huge problem, he should be able to ask for something similar to the prize of becoming the champion of the Emerald Elven Battle Competition from Uncle Elfin, particularly the chance to cultivate in the Emerald Tree for a lifetime. This was the main reason why he didn't mind breaking the alliance anymore. If it wasn't for that, he'd still be considering whether to really break the alliance. After all, he can also choose to fight fair and square against Osborne after taking care of Edgar Piece. By doing that, he can minimize the trouble that he would be facing.
"What are you smiling there for? Take this!" Edgar Pierce raised his hand and pointed it towards Guild Leader Loki, "Earth Spikes!"
"Hmph!" Leo scoffed. In the next moment, five Golems rose in front of them as he summoned them to block the Earth Spikes spell of Edgar Pierce.
"I hope your two Sword Mantises can still continue fighting since you'd definitely not be able to handle my Golems with just you alone," Leo said.
"Who said that he's alone!" Osborne exclaimed before casting, "Earth Split!"
Whoooosh!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
With a stomp of Osborne's foot, the ground in front of him started splitting into two as it slowly made its way towards Guild Leader Loki's Golems.
"Oho, I thought you still don't want to break our alliance," Leo muttered while sending a command to his Golems to get away from the range of Osborne's Earth Split spell.
Hearing Leo's command, the Golems didn't hesitate and moved out of the way.
"Who said that my Sword Mantises can no longer fight!" Edgar Pierce said before summoning his two Sword Mantises. If he had not ordered them to get away from Guild Leader Loki's assault back then, these two would surely not be able to fight right now. But since they have escaped from it, and in addition to that, they were also able to rest for tens of minutes during the time when Guild Leader Loki was busy taking care of the members of the Naughty Elves Organization, his two Sword Mantises could now continue fighting.
"Golems, what are you waiting for? I know that you are itching to continue fighting with them.. So, show these two Sword Mantises who's the boss!" Leo pointed his hand to the two Sword Mantises that Edgar Pierce had just summoned.
