Adventures Of A Goblin

Chapter 193 Orun Against A Fused Ignatius/Caius IX

Orun had prepared himself on how to repel Efreet falling down above him, and at the same time, he would deal with the meteor fireball accompanying it.

He had thought it all through, laid out a plan for everything, but his plan was disrupted by Caius who is already three feet away from him, and his sword taking the lead, ready to slash Orun down.

'Oracle!'.

Orun's inner voice calling to Oracle, sounded urgent, yet calm at the same time.

[yes master].

'will it work'.

As he asked, Orun was already deep in his imagination, with Oracle also permitted to walk down his imagination along with him.

Oracle searched for what Orun requested from it, and when it saw the prototype of what Orun had shaped out in his imagination, Oracle started all procedures meant to confirm if it could make his imagination a reality.

While Oracle continued its analysis on what Orun had requested, he was responding to Caius and Efreet attack.

Orun's movement was slow, a moment of inhale was all the time he had to evade the sword, but for some reasons, he did not evade it, nor even tried to.

Caius was just as fast as he is, therefore, he would be pursued if he takes that chance, and he still has Efreet to worry about.

Another thing that bothered him, is that he did not see Caius holding unto the Spear.

Orun is working under the assumption that Caius already predicted he was going to move away in time to avoid getting stabbed by the great sword, and must have had the Spear somewhere to make its movement on Orun the moment he evades the great sword.

He did not want to do that. The air is heavily surrounded by Caius's presence, and he must have done that to cover up the trail the Spear will be coming from.

If he does end up evading the great sword, he would only be moving as Caius had predicted him to, and not knowing from which direction his Spear will be coming from, makes Orun hesitant to do his bidding.

"chuck!!".

The part of him that the great sword was going to touch, Orun cladded it in thorns he had hastily made.

The great sword made contact with his left shoulder, hitting the thorn that was carved there, and bashing through the thorn to penetrate through his skin, and come out from the other end.

*humph!*.

Orun let out a little grunt for a moment and shortly after, he recovered from the pain of being stabbed in the shoulder.

"for a monster, you are smarter than I thought, but still not smart enough!".

He turned his head in several directions, looking for where the Spear will be coming from. He had a difficult time finding it, when everywhere he turned to, had been completely covered in Caius's presence.

The tip of the spear grazed him from below, notifying Orun of its location.

He had his head down, to see that the spear had come out from the ground, and went in through the space between his cloth and his body.

Orun moved his body backward, forcefully drawing out the great sword embedded in his shoulder, and ran his body out of the clothing by bending his head down, turning it to the side to avoid being grazed further by the spear that was already in.

He managed to bring himself out in time before being stabbed by the spear in a place that would cause fatal damage to him.

Orun slightly bent his head down, and noticed that where he was grazed by the spear had already started bleeding.

"Sighhhh....!".

His upper body is now naked after taking off the clothing, revealing his slim well thinned out red wined colored muscles, only having on his lower part, the pants that was given to him by miss dragon.

He noticed that the ground he is stepping on, has now been shadowed, while outside of the shadowed range, is light breezing through the ground.

It did not take long for him to remember that he still had Efreet to deal with, the same Efreet that has gotten within his range, and his almost below him.

'damn it. Oracle, how much longer do you still need? I don't have all the time in the world at my hands you know".

Orun hurried Oracle in its analytical processing, after he got fed up with trying to fend off against three of them by himself.

When it was just he and Caius, Orun still had the leisure of fighting toe to toe with him.

But now that Efreet and Salamander has been called into the fight, he could feel the gap getting wider with every step they take.

The minute he is done fending off one, another just rushes in, giving him no time to catch his breath.

As hard as it is for him to admit it, Orun could feel himself slowly being pushed back by the three duo.

If Oracle gives the go ahead on the idea Orun has proposed, assuring him that it is possible to put it into practice rather than just theories about it, he is sure that he can use it to turn the situation around.

[master, I have calibrated through all existent possibilities, and now arrived at a conclusion regarding your theory].

'enough of the long speech, and just skip to the yes or no part'.

[yes master. It is possible to put it into practice. It will however, require you to exhaust a lot on your total mana Guage].

'that is a small price to pay. If it means I have a chance at victory, Mana exhaustion is nothing'.

Orun breathed his signature breath before he whips out something creative and yet mind blowing.

He released his mana out into the surroundings, and directed them to the ground beneath him.

[Oracle, it is left to you now].

He is still not at the stage where he can craft a masterpiece art by himself, for that, he needs Oracle's help.

His flamed pupils turned gold, with the white part taking on a dark color, a sign that Oracle had temporarily taken over Orun's body.
