After observing the Victory Arena for some time, Leo finally raised one of his feet and stepped onto the stage. 

Instantly, he felt as if he was sent into another place. 

Looking around, Leo noticed that he was actually still in the same location, and nothing had changed around him, even by a tiny bit. The arch entrance is still behind his back, the stairs to the stage are still just a single step away from him, and all the things he had just spotted before around the Victory Arena were still in the same exact location as before. 

Though it didn't really take that long for Leo to finally noticed what had changed. This sudden change that he had just felt wasn't about the surroundings but rather the sensation and atmosphere of the entire stage. 

"This should be because of the Magic Arrays installed nearby," Leo easily guessed the reason for this.

Indeed, the reason for the sudden change of sensation and atmosphere that Leo had felt the moment he stepped inside the stage was because of the Magic Array. 

However, because Leo wasn't knowledgeable about Magic Arrays, he couldn't tell what exact Magic Arrays were installed. The only thing he could tell was there should be some Mana Gathering Magic Arrays installed around the stage somewhere since the density of Mana around this place has improved by tens of folds compared to outside. 

Well, actually, one of the other reasons why the Mana outside is low was due to the number of Mages, Magical Knights, and Battle Mages present in the Victory Arena right now. With them sharing the surrounding Mana, it is within expectation for such a situation to happen.

Looking at his side, Leo soon spotted Elmont, who was coincidentally also looking at him. 

At this moment, Elmont was no longer hosting the Emerald Elven Battle Competition but was joining as one of the participants. Everyone who is participating in the Emerald Elven Battle Competition already knows from the start that he was always registered as one of the players in the Battle Maniac team. As a matter of fact, he is even the Leader, while Selina was the second-in-command.

Seeing Leo looking at him, Elmont said through the communicator, "Look at your other side,"

Curious to know what Elmont wanted him to see, Leo followed suit to where he was pointing towards. To his surprise, he found the Leader of the Red Fist Guild, who is now also looking at him while strangely smiling sheepishly. 

The Leader assigned by Orcborg for the Red Fist Guild was a slightly muscular young male Orc named Osborne. Like everyone here, he is also a 1-Star level Mage, albeit he was almost close to breaking through and becoming a 2-Star level Mage. 

"I also don't know what is happening here," Osborne scratched his cheeks after seeing Leo's reaction.

Hearing Osborne's reply, Leo narrowed his eyes as he slowly turned his head to look at Elmont. Who else in the Victory Arena could possibly do such a 'Coincidental Location' for the three of them if not him, right?

As expected, Elmont explained proudly, "The perks of being the host of the Emerald Elven Battle Competition,"

Contrary to such positivity from Elmont, Leo's face immediately turned dark as he asked, "But why?!"

The fourth game of the Emerald Elven Battle Competition is called Survival Games. In this round, all participants can't bring any weapons, as they would have to personally look for weapons inside the chest located all over the map similar to the second game 'The Maze,' while at the same time surviving the different obstacles that the host would throw at them like the Seekers in the first game 'Hide and Seek' and the challenges in third game 'Stairs to Heaven.' In other words, it isn't only the participants who are a threat in the fourth game but also the host. 

In such kind of situation, one could already guess just how important the weapons are. Surviving would be extremely difficult if one doesn't have any weapons or only have a few of them in their arsenal.

And what's, even more, worst is that the chest is hidden in extremely inconspicuous spots, and the distance from each other is hundreds of meters apart. Hence, it would be a real challenge equipping oneself with enough right weapons, let alone finding weapons that could assist them in dealing with the obstacles that the host would throw at them.

However, in spite of such circumstances, Elmont actually still decided to place the three of them close to each other. In this case, finding items and equipping themselves with what they needed would be more difficult than what it already was. 

"So that we can cooperate right from the start," Elmont rolled his eyes as if mocking Leo for not being able to see the obvious. 

"Of course I know that!" Leo exclaimed in irritation. He shook his head in helplessness before explaining, "Shouldn't you be more aware than us that it would be much better if we were far from each other? In such a way, we could cover a far wider area, and we also don't need to share our items, unless necessary,"

"No offense, your Highness, Elmont, but I also agree with Guild Leader Loki. In our case right now, we will be greatly restricted in the number of items we could find," Osborne added. 

Elmont wasn't stupid, so he quickly realized how big of a mistake he had just made. His lips pouted as he tried to apologize, "I..."

"It is already too late to apologize," Leo interrupted, really frustrated with Elmont's plan.

Contrary to Leo, Osborne still believe that there is  a way to solve their current predicament, "Let's not blame each other and instead let's think of a way to minimize our disadvantages,"

"Think of a way? Like what?" Leo glared at Osborne.

"I..." Osborne felt wronged at Leo blaming him. Though, he could understand him since he also didn't know what they should do. In the end, he could only look at Elmont, hoping that he had a contingency plan prepared.

Not to disappoint Osborne, Elmont thought of something and quickly suggested, "How about we spread out so that we can still find more chest?" 

"That still doesn't change a thing! Don't you see that we will still be close to each other even if we spread out? Unless, of course, if you go to the other side of the map, only then would our problem be fixed!" Leo coldly scoffed. 

Hearing Leo's response, Elmont can't refrain anymore from blaming himself, "This is all my fault! If only I didn't take matters in my hand, then this wouldn't have happened..."

Leo massaged his forehead as he said wryly, "If I really die in this round, then it would no doubt be the dumbest way to die in the Survival Games!"
