Adventures Of A Goblin-Chapter 297 It Is Open

"You are too late".

The five Mammon clone conjoined themselves back into one, and gave Orun the disappointing news.

They wearily made their sinister smile before breaking the news to him and turning into their hazy form.

The same thing happened to the Clone that Dilya was fighting with. The Clone turned hazy and went back to join with the hazy form of Mammon that was with Elmon.

"Nooooooo!!!!!"

Dilya yelled out after seeing that the gate has been slightly unlocked. The way it was opened is similar to how one opens a gate enough to have their body squeeze through.

The disappointment and fear from Dilya's tone was well conveyed to Orun.

He was a bit too late in the construction of the spikes that was meant to block Elmon from touching the gate.

"Lord Orun, we need to get out of here right now".

Dilya quickly came to Orun's side and alarmingly warned him.

"No. We can still close the gate before anything happens".

Orun does not know the mechanics of how the gate works, but he does know that if all it takes to open it is a touch from Elmon, there is still bound to be a set amount of time for the gate itself to open up.

Considering how big it is, it will not just go 'wam' I am open in one hurriedly wide setting.

Orun could get himself there with his speed and shut the door close using his strength before it fully opens and makes way for whatever is lurking behind it to come out.

"No. Once it is open, it can not be closed through normal means!".

The gate requires the use of a special lock to seal it, not the kind that involves brute forcing its way back to being closed.

If Orun were to close the gate using just his strength, the door will just go back to being open by itself.

"Seriously? All one has to do to open it is through physical contact, but to close it becomes difficult? Seriously?".

Orun found the logic guiding the gate to be preposterous. Isn't getting the gate open the dangerous part of the mission?

If that is so, why is it that all that is required to accomplish a a task that could inevitably lead to the end of the world, is only by making physical contact with it?

It does not necessarily have to be one hell of an extravagant touch. Just the kind where the palm touches the gate like Elmon did.

Why should such a lazy move have to be the condition for letting open a gate that could mark the very end of the world?

While to close it back and prevent the destruction of the world, there is this ridiculous rules or ways that has to be followed? Please visit ｆ𝗿𝗲𝒆we𝚋ｎ૦𝘃𝚎𝒍. 𝒄o𝚖

Shouldn't it be the other way around? Hard to open, and easy to close? For convenience sake.

Or perhaps the one that designed the gate did that because they are on the side of world destruction?

"It is not exactly physical contact. It requires coming into contact with someone from the physical world that has an innate connection to the underworld".

Orun did not fully get what Dilya said. Her explanation was vague and full of holes.

He was however able to pick up the plot points to draw up a clear explanation on it by himself.

What Dilya meant is that Elmon, as elf as he looks, has some sort of connection that links him to the underworld, in other words, he has something in him to partially identify him as a Demon.

It's absurd really. Considering Orun felt no ominous energy coming off of Elmon. No. Strangely enough, he did not feel any sort of energy coming off of Elmon. Its like he has no mana at all which in Orun's case, found it weird.

The gate was let open with steam coming out from it as it slowly widens its range.

The spikes that Orun had created, melted as a result of the steam coming into contact with it.

"Kekekeke. Finally, the world will fall beneath my command".

Mammon separated itself from Elmon's body, and turned its hazy form into a physical shape.

"What you promised me. When will you fulfill your promise to me".

Elmon has kept to his path of the deal and made sure that Mammon got what it wanted.

It was now time for Mammon to fulfill his deal to Elmon, his wish to have the necessary strength that would allow him be beside the Elven princess, Leena as her equal partner.

"Yes. Not to worry young elf. Without you, none of this would have been made possible".

Mammon had both hands raised down and turned its head over to Elmon standing beside him.

It revealed a sinister smile to Elmon, a smile that had him extremely worried.

Elmon took one step backward, in fear of the smile shown by Mammon.

"Where do you think you are going? Young elf".

Mammon took its own step, matching with Elmon's slow backward step.

"Stay away from me!".

Elmon's heart was getting restless with the way that Mammon was looking at him.

It was just now that he realized the truth about Mammon from its expression. It was never going to fulfill his wish.

Mammon's goal was only using Elmon as a means to achieve its objectives.

That realization made Elmon fearful for his life. And with the fear, Elmon turned his attention away from Mammon, to get as far away from it as possible.

Before Elmon could get himself far away, Mammon reached out both its hand and wrapped it around Elmon's neck to prevent him from going any farther.

Orun lunged himself toward Elmon, to rescue him from the claws of Mammon.

"Begone, Spirit king".

With its left hand stretched in Orun's direction, Mammon made it so that Orun would uncontrollably fall to the back and crash into the wall.

Orun crashed into the wall, and through it, going further in until he found himself out of the cave and now in the open world.

When he came out into the open world, he fell to the ground and rolled over several times before coming to an halt.

He did not suffer any damage from the crash, but the way he was pushed back got him amazed.

The only explanation Orun had for how he was pushed away several miles, crashing through thick stoned walls at a pace that did not slow down, is through telekinesis.

An ability that allows one to defy the laws of gravitation in exchange for moving an object without the need for a physical contact to be made.
