Under the cover of the snowstorm, Elmont and Osborne secretly hide from the two Elves slowly approaching in their direction. On the other hand, Leo follows from behind the two while constantly updating Elmont and Osborne of their location through the communicator.

"One hundred meters..." Leo informed.

As everything was somewhat dark due to the ongoing snowstorm, it became difficult for the two Elves to notice that Leo is following behind them.

Even though the two Elves are currently carrying torches to give light to their surroundings, it could still only provide them with ten or so square meters of good vision. Meaning to say, as long as Leo doesn\'t step within the area of coverage of the torches, he would be undoubtedly safe and won\'t get noticed that easily by them. 

In addition to that, it also became difficult to spot Leo\'s figure due to him cleverly using the trees, bushes, and stones covered with a certain height of snow to hide his figure. To make it even better, because of the thick snow on the ground, the sound of his footsteps is almost close to nothing. 

"Fifty meters..." Leo informed once again. 

Time continues to pass, and not long after, the two Elves are finally within the range of Elmont and Osborne\'s ambush. 

Seeing this, Leo quickly positioned himself as well behind the two Elves in order for him to assist Elmont and Osborne. 

All of a sudden, the two Elves stopped in their footsteps as they noticed something in front of them.

"Is that a chest?!" An Elf with a thin body muttered as his finger pointed towards a chest hidden under a thick cover of snow. 

"You\'re not mistaken. That is indeed a chest!" The muscular Elf behind the thin Elf nodded his head in delight. 

"Hahahaha! Lucky!"  The thin Elf said in excitement. With this chest that they have just found, they would have more items that they could use in the Survival Games. 

Without any hesitation, the two Elves approached the chest. In their minds, they are silently hoping that the contents of the chest are good. 

However, unbeknownst to the two Elves, the chest that they have just found was actually a trap that Elmont and Osborne had set. 

This chest was from one of the chests that Leo and the others had found before. They decided to bring it with them through their Storage Ring exactly for situations like this one. After all, they could easily lure other players into a trap by using chests as bait since all players are frantically looking for more weapons, including them.

Completely oblivious that the chest is actually a trap, the thin Elf put both of his hands forward and soon lifted the cover of the chest. 

To the thin Elf\'s shocked, what was waiting for him inside the chest wasn\'t some items, but rather his Highness, Elmont. 

"Your Highness, Elmont..." The thin Elf muttered, completely stupefied with his finding. The first thought that came into his mind was that his Highness, Elmont, hid inside the chest to shelter from the snowstorm. And they have unexpectedly discovered his hideout.

Unfortunately for the thin Elf, that wasn\'t the case right now...

In the next moment, a rope tightly bounded the feet of the thin Elf, causing him to be unable to move. And before he could even react, the rope was suddenly pulled by someone, causing his entire body to tilt to the side for a brief moment and right after got lifted up to the tree.

"Ahhhhh!" The thin Elf could only let out a scream as he couldn\'t seem to know what else to say.

The moment the thin Elf hanged upside down from the tree, what appeared in front of the muscular Elf soon after was Elmont jumping straight towards his direction with a dagger pointed to the location of his chest. 

Contrary to the thin Elf, however, the muscular Elf swiftly took out a wooden shield that he had found from one of the chests before and stored it inside his Storage Ring. He put the wooden shield in front of him to block from Elmont\'s surprise attack. 

Bang! 

As the shield was merely made out of wood, thus Elmont was easily able to make a hole with the dagger solely through his physical strength as a 1-Star Mage. 

Unfortunately, the end result of that was Elmont\'s weapon getting stuck on the wooden shield of the muscular Elf.

Seeing this, the muscular Elf sneered at Elmont and said, "Too bad for you, your Highness, Elmont,"

Quickly waving his other hand, the muscular Elf took out a steel sword from his Storage Ring. In the following moment, he unhesitatingly swings the sword straight towards Elmont\'s head. 

Regardless of what one\'s status is outside of the arena, all are treated fairly in the Emerald Elven Battle Competition, including the Evergreen royal family members. As a matter of fact, the Crown Prince, Elfin the Fifth, nearly died during the previous Emerald Elven Battle Competition in the past due to his carelessness. And that is the exact reason why the muscular Elf didn\'t feel afraid when he chose to direct his attack towards the head of Elmont.

Looking at the sword approaching his right, Elmont directly gave up on his dagger and jumped back. Upon landing on the ground, he can\'t help but swear, "Shit!"

"It seems like a member of the Evergreen royal family would fall in this year\'s Emerald Elven Battle Competition," The muscular Elf said before charging straight towards Elmont with both of his sword and shield in his hands.

"Don\'t be cocky!" Elmont replied as he kicked the small pile of snow in front of him. 

Whoooosh! 

Clearly, a mere powder of snow can\'t hope to deal with even the slightest bit of damage to the muscular Elf. But that wasn\'t what Elmont intended to do. 

In return for Elmont\'s attack, the muscular Elf simply raised his hand that was holding the shield to block the powder of snow coming straight towards him. 

Surprisingly, as soon as the muscular Elf lowered down his shield, what appeared in front of him next was no longer Elmont, but rather the tall and huge Orc, Osborne. 

The muscular Elf was taken aback after seeing this. In spite of that, though, he didn\'t panic since he could clearly see that Osborne is merely holding a dagger similar to the one Elmont was using earlier ago. Because of this, he continued to charge unto Osborne\'s direction.
