Adventures Of A Goblin-Chapter 299 Retreat

"A fine declaration and determination you have there Elven queen. It is however too late for that now".

Mammon got itself up from the ground and spewed out a black substance from its mouth.

"You should have been this determined before I opened the gate. Now, it is far too late to get any struggle from you".

Mammon used its telekinesis ability to draw in Elmon. There was no struggle from Elmon who had already passed out.

It caught Elmon's body with its right hand, wrapping the finger around his neck.

It opened up Elmon's mouth and turned its own body back into a hazy form, except for the hand that was keeping Elmon's mouth open.

Mammon poured in its hazy form inside Elmon's mouth, making sure everything is in, including the hands.

Orun was too preoccupied to prevent it from happening, and Dilya was not able to get anywhere near Mammon who made certain that she was kept at arm's length by using its telekinesis ability.

The hazy form fused itself with Elmon, discarding his original shape and bringing about him having dark eyeballs, with multiple crack marks on the face.

ραпdα---n?νa| сom It was no longer Elmon that had control of the body. The one steering the wheel is Mammon.

"Finally. Nothing can stop me now".

AN: I will be using him to address Mammon now that it is inside the body of Elmon.

Mammon dispersed the clone that was fighting with Orun. He reached out both hands and called forth Orun and Dilya with his telekinesis.

Orun sprouted out spikes from the ground to stop himself from getting pushed toward Mammon.

The spikes were not of much help as Orun had expected them to be. From his stomach, Orun created two fire arms. He sent the arms to hold unto both of Mammon's palms.

Now instead of Orun and Dilya getting captured by Mammon, the fire arms got in the way of that.

The fire arms also acted as a means to temporarily disrupt Mammon's telekinesis ability, thereby setting Orun and Dilya free.

"Run!". Orun instructed.

He detached the fire arm from his body and made his way to the entrance.

Dilya did not understand why Orun would choose to run away from an event that can bring about the end of the world.

From the little she knows about him, Dilya thought of Orun as someone who does not back away from a fight and dies everything necessary to protect what is his.

Even if he has no desire to protect the world or the elven nation from the claws of Mammon, he should understand that Mammon will not stick to going after a single nation.

So long as Mammon is free from his cage, there is no place under the face of the world that is safe from his reach.

Dilya expected Orun to be aware of that, which is why she decided to trust his judgment and go along with his plan of running out of the cave.

"What is your plan? You do have a plan right".

"I do. Me".

She admired his valiant confidence side to casually nominate himself. That is all the more reason she has a hard time informing Orun just how much his plan sucks.

"I am afraid that is not a very good plan under these circumstances. Once the gate is opened, Mammon has become a force that cannot be put down through ordinary means".

"I know. But the same applies to me. I have a mode that allows me to connect to nature and draw out power beyond the imagination of one".

"You have such a thing and you never considered using it before the gate was opened? Why".

It was confusing really. If Orun had an ability capable of killing even smoke itself. The rational thing to do was for him to use it before Mammon got even stronger.

Before the gate could open, and successfully prevent the end of the world.

"That is the problem. If I were to use it around that gate, it will burn it to nothingness, together with Mammon".

Orun did not resort to using the ability earlier because he did not want to take that chance with the gate.

Now that the gate is open, and Mammon is out of it. Orun is free to run as wild as he wants.

He on the other hand does not want to do that in a cave with so little space to spare.

Orun prefers choosing an open area as the location. In an open area, he would be able to throw as many destructive attacks as he wants on Mammon without the need to care about his surroundings.

He would also have lots of space to attack from, expanding his range of attack and defense.

"I need him outside. The best geographical point to fight a being like Mammon".

Orun declared, his eyes focused on the cave's entrance and waiting for Mammon to come out of it.

"I see. You have my permission to go as rampant as you want. I will take charge and see to it that any attacks from the both of you do not get to the nation or the people".

"Ye-yes. That's a good plan. You do just that, and I will be able to give it my all without the need to worry about the people's safety. Ha, ha!".

His voice was awkward, barely fitting it together and making out a sentence with it.

"Please tell me you were thinking of the nation's condition when you decided to bring the fight out in the open".

"Sure I was. What made you think I would not have thought of that".

"Great. I was fearful that you didn't, judging from how you found it difficult to complete your sentence".

"Ha, ha, ha. I am not that stupid you know".

The atmosphere got tense with the awkwardness that reigned.

"My Lord! You are safe".

The awkward mood was done away with thanks to the voice of Theron that came running toward Orun, along with the four elven elders, as well as Monryck.

Orun deep in his heart, was thankful for their timed arrival, saving him from the awkwardness.
