After signing the Oath, both Leo and Eme Clarity removed their Magic Garment. After all, the Oath has already taken effect after signing it, so if they continue wearing their Magic Garments, it would just be akin to suicide. 

"Then let\'s continue with the fight, Guild Leader Loki!" Eme Clarity lunged herself forwards towards Guild Leader Loki. At the same time, a new set of armor slowly wrapped around her body, "I hope you won\'t regret your decision!"

Whooosh! Whooosh!

All of a sudden, Eme Clarity stopped in her tracks.. She touched her cheeks and soon noticed a slight trace of a wound on her face, "Eh?" 

Looking behind her, Eme Clarity found a piece of dagger embedded in a tree with only its handle showing on the surface.

"Why would I even regret my decision?" Leo replied while wearing a mischievous smile on his face.

"You...!" Eme Clarity finally realized what was going on. If she was wearing her Magic Garment right now, then it would have easily blocked Guild Leader Loki\'s attack for her, thus preventing him from inflicting any sort of damage to her. However, since she is now just wearing armor, he could simply attack those locations unguarded by any, for example, her head.

"Just like what we both agreed with our Oath, a fair fight," Leo muttered before taking out another batch of daggers from his Storage Ring and shooting them towards Eme Clarity\'s direction. 

Eme Clarity quickly understood what Guild Leader Loki meant with her words. Even though she is wearing armor right now, it still can\'t protect her from him. In other words, her armor is nothing but mere ordinary clothes for him which he could simply ignore.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Raising her hand, Eme Clarity blocked Guild Leader Loki\'s dagger with slight difficulty. The crisp clanging sounds of her blocking his dagger immediately made her pull herself back together.

Unfortunately, Eme Clarity was a bit late as Guild Leader Loki had already arrived in front of her. The only thing she could do was use her armor to block his next attack. 

Arriving in front of Eme Clarity, Leo clenched his fist before swiftly throwing a punch towards her armor. Simultaneously, he cast, "Fireball!"

Banggg!

Eme Clarity instantly took a few steps back after receiving Leo\'s attack, creating two deep streaks on the ground.

"Don\'t underestimate me!" Eme Clarity exclaimed in irritation as she swung her dagger towards Guild Leader Loki\'s figure right in front of her.

Whooosh!

Seeing Eme Clarity\'s attack, Leo quickly decided to take out one of the pairs of Death Wake Dagger and use it to block her sword. Just using an ordinary dagger would, without a doubt, not help him at all, as it would simply split into two once making contact with her sword.

Clang!

A loud deafening sound of metal hitting against metal reverb around the two of them.

"Why would you even think of that, Eme Clarity?" Leo really didn\'t underestimate Eme Clarity. After all, although he claims that he could defeat her, even deemed her as an easy opponent, he still thinks of her as an opponent nonetheless. 

In the next moment, Guild Leader Loki\'s figure suddenly disappeared from Eme Clarity\'s sight. Subsequently, she strangely felt her body tilting to the side, followed by a painful hit on her feet.

"No, you don\'t!" Eme Clarity quickly shoved her sword to the ground below her. Upon penetrating a few inches deep, she then used her other feet to jump up and make a summersault, with her sword being her center of gravity.

As soon as she landed on the ground, Eme Clarity swiftly pulled out her sword and swung it towards Guild Leader Loki, who was still crouching down, intending to return an attack.

Needless to say, Leo wouldn\'t just allow Eme Clarity to land a hit on him, mainly because he is not wearing any sort of armor to protect his body. If he really let himself get hit by her sword, then he\'d definitely sustain a grave injury. Though that wouldn\'t mean that he has lost the fight, but it would undoubtedly prove really fatal in the later run of the Emerald Elven Battle Competition. After all, there is not that much time for him to rest and prepare for his next opponent after he successfully defeats Eme Clarity.

Whooosh! 

Bang!

Eme Clarity\'s attack made a clean cut on the ground where Guild Leader Loki was standing previously, making her exclaimed in annoyance, "Stop dodging my attack!"

"That would be very stupid of me if I indeed do that," Leo sneered in response to Eme Clarity. His intention is to win this fight, so isn\'t it obvious already that he would dodge all of her attacks?

"Then I\'ll force you to stop dodging!" Eme Clarity put her hand forward and cast, "Vine spell!"

Whooosh! Whooosh! Whooosh!

Multiple vines immediately came out of the ground and straight towards Leo\'s direction.

"Oh no," Leo swiftly waved his hand to try and cut the vine closest to him.

Whooosh!

Despite easily cutting that vine, though, another vine quickly replaced it.

Leo repeated the same action over and over again, but there were still no signs of the vines stopping. He even took out the other pair of the Death Wake Dagger to assist him. But to his surprise, he discovered that Eme Clarity is actually also doing the same. She is relentlessly casting Vine spells as well as a means to capture him.

"This woman..." Leo expressed his helplessness. From this behavior of Eme Clarity alone, he could somewhat guess already just how much she resented him. Well, what other reason could there be aside from that he had tricked her twice in a short period of time? Anyone in her shoes would also react the same way as her.

"How troublesome," Leo muttered as he looked around his surroundings, evidently trying to look for a way to change his current situation. But no matter how much he looked around, he was still unable to find anything useful. There\'s practically nothing to be found in his surrounding.

"What are you gonna do now, Guild Leader Loki?" Eme Clarity chuckled in ridicule. With not even a rock nor a tree in sight, what could Guild Leader Loki even use against her? 

After looking at his surroundings and still not finding anything he could use, Leo thought, "Since it is impossible for me to escape, then might as well let Eme Clarity catch me," 

With that being said, Leo decided to stop struggling and let Eme Clarity catch her with her Vine spells.

"Oh, you\'ve finally given up," Eme Clarity said as she slowly approached Guild Leader Loki.

"Well, I have no other choice. Otherwise, you\'d just continue casting Vine spells to chase after me," Leo replied.

"Good thing you know," Eme Clarity said with a delightful smile on her face. After waiting patiently for so long, she had finally captured Guild Leader Loki. This time, she\'d make him pay twice... No, thrice to what he did to her.

Arriving in front of Guild Leader Loki, Eme Clarity then said, "I have a proposition to you. Would you like to hear it?"

"Do I have the choice?" Leo could already imagine that regardless of not wanting to hear her proposition, Eme Clarity would still talk about it nonetheless. As such, he might as well listen to what she is going to say and not waste any more time.

"Technically speaking, you don\'t, hahaha!" Eme Clarity said with a chuckle. Afterward, she begins telling Guild Leader Loki what her proposition is, "I want to revoke the agreement you have made with the Clarity Noble Household,"

Since Guild Leader Loki seems to prefer scheming against his opponents, Eme Clarity also thought of using the same trick against him. In such a way, she hopes to make him feel more despair after experiencing what he always does to his opponents.

"What would I get after doing that?" Leo asked dubiously. But at the same time, he is moving his hand hidden under the vines that currently wrapped around his entire body. Even though he is trapped right now, that still doesn\'t prevent him from moving a certain part of his body.

"I\'ll set you free, and we can start our fight from the beginning once again. How\'d you like that?" Eme Clarity proposed. In her mind, she secretly thought, "Then capture you with my Vine spells again. By doing that, it would be me asking for something from the Mischievous Lion Guild,"

Unbeknownst to Eme Clarity, Leo could already see what she was really thinking deep inside of her. If she can use her Vine spells to capture him, what prevents her from doing it again, again, and again? In other words, she could just repeatedly use that method and capture him.

"Let me think about it," Leo quickly pretended like he was really thinking about Eme Clarity\'s proposal. But not even ten seconds had passed, he suddenly turned to look at her with a mischievous smile on his face and said, "Why would I choose to do that when I can do this instead?"

BOOOOOM!
