As the spectators became disappointed with Guild Leader Loki, they soon started expressing their frustration about him. 

"Booo! Get out of the stage if all you'd do is to run away!"

"Exactly! What a waste of my saliva when I screamed out my support on you!"

"How the heck did this person even became the Guild Leader of the Mischievous Lion Guild when he is this weak?"

"Probably because his parents are powerful, that's why he has the privileged to lead such a powerful Guild,"

"Yeah, that's the only explanation that could reasonably explain the situation right now,"

Needless to say, since there were people speaking about how much they disliked Guild Leader Loki and why they felt such negative emotions about him, there were also others who expressed their support and understanding of his current action. 

"Are you stupid or something? If Guild Leader Loki really relied on his parents' power and influence, then he wouldn't have easily played everyone during the Survival Games! As a matter of fact, his Guild wouldn't have even become one of the best performing teams until this moment in the Emerald Elven Battle Competition,"

"Leave them be! They are clearly just a bunch of ignorant people who don't know how to analyze things!"

"Yeah! Based on what is going on, Guild Leader Loki is not running away because he doesn't want to fight against Eme Clarity. Rather he is running away in order to create distance from her and avoid getting trap again,"

"As we have already seen, fighting head-on against Eme Clarity is no longer one of Guild Leader Loki's options as she would just relentlessly cast Vine spells again. The only way for him to change the table to his favor is to get out of the range of her Vine spell!"

"Go! Guild Leader Loki! Once you get out of the range of Eme Clarity's Vine spell, you can definitely achieve victory!"

Unbeknownst to not only Eme Clarity but also to everyone who is currently watching his fight against her, aside from distancing himself for fifty meters or so away from her, Leo actually also has another plan in mind. And honestly speaking, his goal was already in motion the moment Eme Clarity started chasing after him along with her Vine spells. 

"A little closer," Leo thought after looking at Eme Clarity's location.

Not long after, Leo suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around to looked at the approaching Eme Clarity. On his face, a mischievous smile was plastered.

Instantly, Eme Clarity halted in her footsteps as she noticed Guild Leader Loki's mischievous smile. She is already very familiar with such a smile from him after her few previous experiences seeing it. 

"Don't tell me..." Eme Clarity wanted to say something, but her line was immediately interrupted by a series of muffled explosions that sounded all over her surroundings.

Booom! Booom! Booom! Booom! Booom!

At this moment, it is now Eme Clarity's turn to face multiple vines suddenly sprouting from the ground and shooting in her direction.

Without any hesitation, Eme Clarity waved her sword to cut the incoming vines and used her shield to block those she couldn't reach with her sword yet from getting to her. 

Naturally, Leo wasn't just going to just watch while Eme Clarity was fending off the vines. He waved his hand, quickly taking out a bow and a quiver with thirty arrows inside. Putting the quiver to his back, he took out an arrow and nocked it onto his bow before slowly pointing it towards Eme Clarity's direction, preparing to shoot at her at any given opportunity.

From her peripheral vision, Eme Clarity was fortunate enough to notice Guild Leader Loki's action. But the problem was, the vines attacking her seemed to prevent her from blocking his attack. There was no need to ask, as it is self-evident already that this was his doing.

In spite of her disadvantage, Eme Clarity still tried her best to position herself in a position where she could block Guild Leader Loki's attack the moment he finally decided to shoot his arrows towards her.

Obviously, Leo wouldn't let Eme Clarity have it that easily. As soon as she finished positioning herself to defend herself from his attack, he suddenly started running to the side.

Eme Clarity was caught entirely off guard by Guild Leader Loki's sudden action. She really didn't expect that he was actually capable of moving while still accurately pointing his bow towards her.

"This is bad!" Eme Clarity muttered while following the direction where Guild Leader Loki's go so as to prevent him from having any opportunity to attack. While doing that, she was also simultaneously attacking and blocking the vines that still continued to attack her. This, however, made her situation even more difficult than it already was.

Whoooosh!

While Eme Clarity was still moving her figure to face Guild Leader Loki, an arrow swiftly went past her armor, which nearly scraped the side of her neck. She was stunned for a moment before quickly pulling herself together. Though she still couldn't hide the nervousness and fear of what had just happened as her forehead began sweating profusely.

This nervousness and fear noticeably decreased the speed of Eme Clarity's reaction time, as if showing her hesitation in each of her every actions.

What Eme Clarity doesn't know, this was actually what Leo exactly wanted to achieve. With her movements getting slow, he could now start with the next step of his plan.

Whooosh! Whooosh! Whooosh! Whooosh! Whoooosh!

A barrage of arrows shoots towards Eme Clarity, making her quickly block them and prevent them from hitting her. But this causes one of her feet to be caught by a vine, greatly hindering her from moving. Fortunately, though, she quickly swung her sword to cut the vine and let her foot free.

After freeing herself, Eme Clarity kept up with wherever Guild Leader Loki went, not wanting him to keep on attacking her.
