Adventures Of A Goblin

Chapter 314 Out Of The Box And Into A Bigger Box Of Trouble



"And where exactly do you think you are running off to?".

Mammon had already activated the boxing skill and used it to incapacitate Orun before he could move any further.

Orun and Dilya were now stuck together in the box with their cheeks rubbing against each other.

'Damn it'. Orun cursed internally.

He increased the intensity of the flame but was still not able to burn down the box.

If he were to take the hotness of the flame any higher, there is a chance that Dilya who is stuck in the same space as him will not survive the burn.

"What just happened".

Dilya was lost in thoughts, wondering why the ability that she had used on Mammon is now working against her.

"His ability allows him to absorb any energy-based ability directed at him. When he absorbs, he can return the ability with twice its effect".

Stuck in a box, Orun had the time to give Dilya an explanation while he think of ways to get them out of there without the need to burn Dilya alive.

While he was speaking, the box was closing in on them faster than the rate when it was done to Mammon.

"And you did not think to tell me this sooner because?......"

She asked with her eyes on Orun, not minding that she is about to get squashed with him.

He on the other hand was wondering how he is at fault. He did make an attempt to inform her, but she was the one who did not listen and went ahead to use her ability without even questioning what information he has on the opponent.

"It is your skill, is there a way you can get us out of it".

Orun ignored her and instead asked her a question that will solve their solution. This is neither the time nor the place to start pointing fingers.

She owns the skill and possibly knows his best just as he does his fire ability. If there is anyone suited enough to get them out, it should be her.

"Hold on".

Dilya gently placed her hand on the box and stayed silent for only a short while with her eyes closed.

Orun wanted to hurry her as the box was start to squeeze his body tighter than he wanted it to. He however did not do that, as to not interfere with her immersion.

A cracking sound was emitted from the place Dilya had her hand on. Not too long, the box crashed down like a rock thrown into a glass.

Orun was curious about what her ability was. It's effect and it's true manifestation point.

"What was that?".

Dilya and Orun both turned their head at the same time, in the direction that the rumbling sound came from.

It was at this time that Efreet and Salamander released their combined attacks that took down everything in their trajectory.

Even Mammon had to turn his head to look at the phenomenal event. The blast grew several miles with destruction tagging along.

"They have arrived". Mammon declared, levitating himself off the ground.

What caught Mammon's attention was not exactly the combined attack of Efreet and Salamander. While it does look flashy and domineering, there is something much worse than that and it is set to unleash after their attack.

The gate of the underworld that was closed after Mammon came out, was once again let open for the army of the demon lord Mammon to match their way out.

Along with the opening of the gate, ominous energy was spread into the atmosphere, turning everything it touches into ash and dust until there was nothing left of it.

"Now you understand what I mean? The end of your world is at hand and there is nothing that can be done to stop it". Mammon once again declared while going up higher.

He continued to levitate above, going higher and further away from the ground and Orun.

Mammon was retreating from the battle, not because he was scared of Orun or because he feared that he would lose against Orun and Dilya joining hands together.

That was not the reason. Mammon retreated from the battlefield because there was no need for him to fight against Orun and Dilya.

The size of the army coming out of the gate as at the moment, cannot be estimated in numbers.

Along with the ominous aura, are clouds coming out from the gate. Those clouds in actuality, are demons of different kinds with terrifying body shapes, some with wings and others without wings.

They were rushing out through the gates like bees when they have their hives broken. The difference between that and bees is that the number of the demons is overwhelming, spreading across the terrain while more of them are still making their way out of the gate.

"There has to be like ten million? No, make that two million of them".

Orun said, talking to himself with his eyes on the cloud of demons shadowing the land.

[ There are eighty-nine million four hundred and thirty-two thousand three hundred and sixty-five demons as of current. The estimated number is unknown as more demons are still making their way out ].

At Oracle's correction of their current figure, Orun revealed a resigned smile.

It is one thing going up against one demon, and another thing going up against millions of demons.

He never understood what Mammon or Dilya meant, but now he did. A war isn't just fought with words or a one-man battle. War is the definition of every form of despair colliding together like an obstacle but in the form of an army.

Mammon is a demon lord, one of the seven rulers of the demon realm, a historical figure known and feared back on earth, with a bad image of him also present in the fantasy world.

Despite knowing all that, how could he have believed that a war with such an entity will be so quick to end in his indisputable win?
