Adventures Of A Goblin

Chapter 194 Orun Against A Fused Ignatius/Caius X



His gold colored eyes with the innards painted dark, gazed coldly at Caius.

Orun had packed his long hair neatly tied to the back, but it all came falling down, with parts of it covering his view.

Caius from where he was, could feel that something was different about Orun.

It is the same person he had been fighting with all this while, but the air he is now surrounded by, felt more aggressive than before.

It felt like Orun had changed to a raging beast, all the anger within him, was being let out along with his crimson Aura encompassing the surroundings.

*THUD!!!*

Orun has yet to move out of the way, and had his body crushed down by Efreet's weight falling on him.

The meteor fireball that Salamander had fired off, reached the ground, and torched the trees, setting it ablaze with the eruption of smoke rising up into the sky.

Beneath the ground that Efreet landed on, vines shoot out of it in multiple numbers, wrapping itself around Efreet.

Caius traced his steps back as he noticed the vines coming from below him in hot pursuit.

"Skill activation; Vine Golem".

Orun's voice rang out from underneath Efreet, in mention of his skill.

It looked as if the ground had moved on its own, like a tsunami washing the ocean waters to its shores, or a piece of clothing being flapped around.

Like birds flapping their wings outwardly and inwardly, such is the way the ground had moved.

With Efreet standing on the ground, it was flapped along with it, and was washed away by the continuous flapping.

It took a while before the flapping stopped, only for the ground to start rising up.

The sand was standing up, and when it was high enough, one could easily discern the shape it was in.

The back was what was taking the lead as it rises, with arms on both side, then came it's head newly sprouting out from the neck after the whole body was up.

The golem, came out from the ground, but it's constitution was not made out of sand, and so when it's shape was done forming, the sand on its body started to rain down, revealing its true body and shape.

It's body was made from wood, hard dried woods forming up its body constitution and giving it a shape closer to Orun's body description, with the horns at the center of its forehead neatly carved out.

Orun stood on the shoulder of the vine golem that was as tall and bulky as Efreet even though it was made entirely out of vines.

[Vine Golem carving complete, I will now be shifting control back to master's consciousness].

Oracle done with the carving Orun had requested from it, handed over control back to Orun, with his eye colors reverting back to the red pupil and white balls.

*ROARRRRRRRR!!!*

The Vine golem roared out, staring at Efreet who was in front of it.

It was the beginning of a showdown between two colossus type beings, capable of destruction with only the movements from their feet.

The creation of the Vine golem, is an idea brought about by Orun wanting to even the playing field by facing off against two giants and one average sized human.

He was not even sure the creation of it was going to be possible, a giant made only out of vines and capable of movements.

It was an entirely different situation from him controlling the vines using only his thoughts.

He has to be cordial, like being in a virtual reality game, having your own humanoid avatar who takes orders from you by using your mental strength to control it.

Luckily for him, he has with him, the brains of Oracle who made the building part possible, and also found a way to perfectly control it.

The vine golem is built in a way that it has no brains, nor is it capable of movements of any such.

One can think of it as an ordinary collectable figurine, except this figurine in particular, is connected to another entity who has thoughts and reasoning processes.

Alone, the Vine golem is an empty shell. But, what separates it from being ordinary, is Orun.

Oracle designed the golem as a replacement of Orun's body. Everything about its body parts is connected deeply to Orun's mental state, it is, another separate body of Orun, moving only by his will.

Like the earlier example states, it is a virtual entity with a physical body composition, who carries out its actions with Orun as its brain.

All Orun has to do, is think of commands with his thoughts, and the vine golem puts it into action.

It is, a kind of figurine that is alive, and at the same time is not, do you get it?

The vine golem does have its own disadvantages, and that is how tasking it is on mana.

It requires an enormous amount of mana in its creation, and also requires mana in maintaining its shape.

There is also the regenerative properties that it is equipped with. If a part of it gets destroyed, it regenerates back before more damage is done, using mana taken from Orun.

Oracle has done its best to minimize the amount of mana it requires in its management, but even that was not enough to have Orun not feel anything.

He brought this on himself by making a choice of not killing Caius when he had the chance to, so who is he to complain about the mana spent on trying to keep his life and come out victorious in a fight.

Orun jumped down from the shoulder of the Vine golem, and jumped over to where Caius was.

"now I can fight you properly while my golem deal with your summoned spirits".

By creating the vine golem by his side, Orun has accomplished his goal of having a colossal type monster to go up against Efreet and Salamander while he has a face off with Caius without being interrupted.

"i applaud you monster. In this form of mine, you are the first opponent other than my peers to have lasted this long against me, but it is over for you".

"ever heard of the saying; don't count your eggs before they hatch? I have no plans of losing this battle to you".

Orin says, reading Caius's relaxed facial expression to try and understand what he is trying to convey in words.
