Adventures Of A Goblin

"Kekeke. You overestimate yourself too much spirit king. I am a being who has existed in the realm of time, and have lived by defying the odds of time. What makes you think that you have an opportunity against me?"

Mammon said, putting on airs and letting out its aura as a form of intimidation, and to also serve as a testimony to its might.

"You still don't get it do you?"

Orun covered the distance and appeared before Mammon with his palm stretched forward, in the direction of its face.

"This you, stands no chance against the current me".

He covered Mammon's face with his palm, and before Mammon could respond by turning its body into an hazy smoke, Orun made a movement with a timing beyond Mammon's set time to turn its body into an hazy smoke.

He used his palm on Mammon's face to push its body backwards and crash it to the gate.

The event appeared before the eyes of Elmon as though Orun had teleported himself and Mammon from where they stood, to having Mammon's face pressed to the wall.

Contrary to Elmon's belief that it was a teleportation attack, it wasn't. All Orun did was increase the output of his speed on a wavelength similar to a flash of the bright light that emanates before the coming of lightening.

Once Orun was done with his attack, Mammon set its face that was pressed to the gate free by turning his whole body into an hazy smoke and moving it away from where Orun stood.

The part of the gate that accepted the crash of Mammon's face on its body, was left undented with no signs of having something crash into it.

"Tell me demon, how exactly are you feeling right now".

Orun's action has once again forced Mammon into a situation where it was left with no other choice but to use its mana to repair its damaged body using the mana stored in its body.
If things keeps on going at this pace, Orun is going to achieve his goal by having Mammon make use of all its mana on a continuous body regeneration process.

As difficult as it was for Mammon to admit it on the outside, it knew deep down that Orun's plan had a very high possibility of coming to pass.

If something is not done to prevent Orun from damaging Mammon's body, it will eventually run out of mana and will become unable to retain its form.

When that happens, all the time that Mammon had spent making its plans to get the gate open would have all been for nothing.

'That must never come to be. I cannot wait another millennia hoping for the perfect host to come by once more. I need to do whatever it takes now to stop the elemental king from disrupting my plans any further".

Orun was starting to become a thorn to Mammon's plan, and it also admitted that to be true in its thought.

It knew that it had to do something to stop Orun from making his way toward him.

Distancing itself further from Orun was not going to work, as Orun has demonstrated that no amount of gap was too wide for him to overcome within the blink of an eye.

Besides, there is only so limited of a gap that can be present in a cave with so little space to offer.

Orun has proved to be a threat to Mammon, and it has also acknowledged him as one.

Mammon as of current is weak and not able to properly keep up with Orun's speed.

The body it has now was initially not meant to engage in long term combat or abrasive type combat like the one Orun is doing.

The body was only meant to aide Elmon in killing the two guards who Mammon had measured their strength and become assured that they pose no problem.

That is what the body was meant for. To participate in a short term dominating battle. And once that was done, Mammon would have Elmon open the gate.

Once the gate was opened, it can then restore its full form and not have to rely on the empty tusk it is currently in.

That was Mammon's goall all along, but said goal has been proving too difficult to achieve at the moment.

The major reason for the decline in strength in its current body, is because of the third party that was used as a means to have its presence summoned into the material world.

Elmon is that third party serving as the bridge that connected the underworld where Mammon is located in to the material world.

The amount of strength in total that can be carried when crossing through the bridge is heavily reliant on how strong the host representing the bridge is.

Elmon is far too weak to be a suitable source of host to have Mammon cross the bridge with fifty percent of its total combat capacity.

It tried bringing ten percent when crossing the bridge but even that was impossible to do.

Mammon had to settle for relying on only an half of one percent of its total strength capacity if it truly wanted to cross the bridge.

It was worrying, but also a good deal for Mammon who believed that it would not stay too long in its one percent form.

Once it is summoned, it will go to where the gate is located, kill off anyone that tries to stop it, and have Elmon open the gate the moment they get to it.

That was the hasty plan crafted in Mammon's imaginative mind, but said plan is now being foiled by an anomaly it did not account for.

With only one percent of its total combat capacity in use, Mammon does not stand a chance against Orun.

Orun far surpasses the current Mammon strength wise, Agility wise, durability, attack timing and any other thing that has to do with surviving through the art of combat.

If something is not done soon enough, Mammon might never get to open the gate or even get anywhere near having its original body come into the material realm.

It priority now should not be to fight Orun, but to find a way to have Elmon open the gate.


It is the key to solving every problem that Mammon is faced with right now. With the gate open, it's original body will cross through, and with it comes the full force of what it is capable of.

When that happens, Orun will stand no chance against a full force Demon lord.

'That is it. I just need to get the gate opened".

Mammon once again assured itself, believing that all would go as planned as long as it is able to keep the gate opened.
