With the seemingly seamless cooperation of Leo, Elmont, and Osborne, it didn't take that long for them to kill all twenty Vine-arm Chimpanzees and claim victory. 

"That pretty much wraps up everything we need to do here," Elmont said as he took out an arrow from the nearby dead Vine-arm Chimpanzee and tossing it back to Leo.

Leo caught the arrow and expressed his appreciation, "Thank you," but then he quickly added, "Unfortunately, it is still not the end,"

"Yeah," Osborne nodded his head in agreement before starting to explain, "Princess Tifa and Princess Tila has not yet announced how much they will reduce the size of the map,

"So, let's quickly get moving," Leo finished the sentence as he then started moving in the direction of the center of the map. 

"Okay," Elmont and Osborne said in acknowledgment. 

As expected, not long after Leo and the others started their journey again onwards to the center of the map, Princess Tifa and Princess Tila started talking about reducing the size of the map. 

"Oh, we almost forgot. We still need to reduce the size of the map," Princess Tifa turned to look at Princess Tila and asked, "Sister Tila, how much do you think we should reduce the size of the map this time?"

"Let me think for a bit," Princess Tila started contemplating. After a few seconds, she finally made a decision, as she answered, "Let's reduce it by thirty square kilometers this time, hence leaving only thirty-five square kilometers for all the remaining twenty-three players to move around,"

"Thirty square kilometers? I didn't expect that you have such a devious side of you, sister Tila," Princess Tifa said with an evil chuckle. Momentarily after, she waved her hand and announced, "It's decided, then! Reduce the size of the map by thirty square kilometers!"

In the next moment, the barrier located sixty-five kilometers away from the center of the map suddenly started moving again, further reducing the size of the map. 

Meanwhile, Leo and the others wore ugly expressions on their faces after hearing how much Princess Tifa and Princess Tila are going to reduce the size of the map. In their minds, they thought, "Are these two intending to kill all of us once and for all?"

Such thought, though, only lasted for a bit. Needless to say, that was naturally the intention of Princess Tifa and Princess Tila. After all, that was the purpose of the obstacles they were going to throw on the map from the very beginning. Only this time, however, they finally mean business. 

"Hey, brother Loki, why are you running so damn fast?!" Elmont called out while trying his best to catch up with Leo. 

"Probably because we are still within the range of the thirty square kilometers that Princess Tifa and Princess Tila had mentioned. If we don't hurry now, then the barrier would eventually catch up to us," Osborne assumed. 

"I guess it can't be helped, then. Let's go and quickly catch up with brother Loki!" Elmont hurried in his footsteps in order to chase after Leo. Beside him, Osborne was also doing the same. 

After a bit of time had passed, both Elmont and Osborne finally caught up with Leo. The reason for that was because they stepped onto the same location as where Leo had just stepped on. By doing that, there was no need for them to pull their feet from the snow anymore, which was what always caused them to be slightly delayed.

This time, Elmont and Osborne decided to walk to each side of Leo, wanting to walk side by side together and continue having a conversation while walking towards their destination. 

However, to their surprise, they found Leo's face looking really serious at this moment.

"Hey, brother Loki, what got you so serious like this?" Elmont can't help but ask in curiosity. 

"It's because of the barrier," Leo replied. 

"Just like what I expected," Osborne said, a bit proud of himself for guessing the correct answer. But such a feeling was quickly cut short as Leo revealed that he was wrong. 

"You're wrong! Merely reducing the size of the map wouldn't make me this worked up! Oh, wait... Now I see what is going on here. I seemed to forgot to tell you something important," Leo said as he turned his head to looked at Elmont and Osborne while at the same time wearing a wryly smile on his face. He then suddenly stopped walking and turned his body around. 

Intrigued, Elmont and Osborne also did the same and looked behind them. 

Seeing them looking in the same direction as him, Leo suddenly raised his finger and pointed to the approaching barrier really far away from them as of this moment, "You see that barrier?"

"Yeah... But what's wrong with that barrier?" Elmont nodded his head but still expressed his confusion. It wasn't only him that was feeling confused, but also Osborne. 

Not intending to waste any time, Leo quickly explained, "That barrier might still be far, but as we all already know, in front of that is a wave made out of debris being pushed towards our direction right now,"

"We know, but as long as we..." Elmont wanted to say something, but he was immediately interrupted by Leo. 

"No, you absolutely don't have any sort of idea what is truly going on!" Leo shook his head. He then continued, "If this was earlier ago, then that would indeed just be a wave of debris and nothing more. But at this moment after the snowstorm, along with that wave of debris are expectantly big piles of snow continuously being gathered together, thus creating a huge pile of snow,"

"Now, here's the question for the both of you to answer; what do you think will happen if the barrier pushes forward a huge pile of snow?" Leo asked while raising one of his eyebrows. 

The instant they heard Leo's question, Elmont and Osborne's eyes immediately widened in a combination of shock and disbelief. 

In a situation where the barrier pushes forward a huge pile of snow, the only end result would be none other than causing an avalanche!
