BXBX NOVEL Chapter 272 Making It One
The three Elven elders had gotten so close to Orun with only inches away from where he stood.
Orum on the other hand was left stranded. He could not get his leg up and is not even able to move it sideways as he wants to.
All he had with him now, is his hands that is still able to respond to immediate actions sent from the brain.
Orun with his hands, stopped the fist of the fire elder that had almost reached his face.
He steeled his hold on the fire elder\'s fist and used it to carry the rest of his body off the ground.
By holding unto his fist, Orun used the fire elder\'s body to repel the water elder that was coming for him from above.
Lile doing a backflip, he raised the body up using the fist and swung it above to tank the water elder\'s attack.
The water elder could not attack the fire elder who was her ally, and so she withdrew her attack and also retraced her body from Orun\'s direction.
Just like that, Orun had managed to stop the attack of two of the elders without making use of his legs and only relying on his hand.
The only one remaining was the wind elder who was on her way to Orun from behind him.
Orun with his eyes still faced to the front, threw the body of the fire elder to the back, aiming it at the wind elder.
After he had thrown the body, Orun was quick to move his hand to the side to stop the water elder\'s fist from getting to him.
The wind elder jumped up and successfully evaded the body of the fire elder. After hed evasion, she moved back on course still charging toward Orun.
The fire elder also took control of his body before he could crash to the ground, twisting it up in midair and pulling off a landing to the ground.
Having regained his composure, the fire elder resumed his attack on Orun by pushing himself faster in his direction.
Orun threw the body of the water elder in the opposite direction from where the wind elder and the fire elder are coming from.
He knew trying to use her as a distraction by throwing her in their direction was not going to work, nor is him holding unto her and using her body as a weapon the moment the other elder gets to him going to work against them.
He had done it once on the fire elder, and that has lessened the probability of it working again if he attempts to use it on him or on the wind elder who captured the scene as well.
Orun also did not throw the wind elder\'s body in their direction because he did not want them all moving together.
If he were to threw her in the direction they were coming from, she is bound to take back control of her body like the fire elder had done.
If that were to happen, she would end up joining the gang and all three of them would be coming at him from the same direction.
That doesn\'t sound good in the ears of Orun. Having them in the same angle increases the chance of Orun getting hit by one of them.
If all three came at him from a particular spot, they would all aim for different parts of his body but still within the reach of where they are coming from.
If that were to happen, Orun\'s response time would dwindle with trying to figure out which attack he should stop first before moving to the next.
It is a different case however if all three were coming at him from different angles.
They would all have to pick an angle opposite to where they are coming from to meet their reach and range condition.
Think of it like this; there are five of you, and all five of you are given a single four inch brick to break.
There is a condition set in motion that it has to require all five of you simultaneously working together to break the brick.
Five people simultaneously working to break down a four inch brick would need you all to hit it at the same point or deviate slightly away from the other point, but still within close proximity because that is all that can be done with how wide the brick is.
Now, putting that example as the scene between Orun and the three elders.
Coming at him in the same direction and simultaneously, would require each of them taking a chunk out of a part of him that they are faced with.
Either going for the face, the private, the stomach. Any angle at all is what they can aim for, and Orun does not know exactly which one it is.
He also won\'t be able to find that out until they are in the motion of carrying out their attacks on him.
When that happens, Orun will be forced to have to respond to three simultaneous attacks coming at him from the same position.
He is fast alright, fast enough to give light a run for his money. But in his base form, the three elder\'s speed is almost the same as his.
Not equal, but almost the same. When faced with a single one of the elder, Orun is sure to have the speed advantage.
But when faced with three of them at the same time, Orun would have to deal with three speed that is almost the same as his.
Sure, he might pull in one punch or two, taking out two elders before they touch him, but not the third.
The certainty of that third elder getting to him is a sure thing, and Orun can\'t have that.
This is a sacred duel that he wants to win without him getting pushed around not even once.
In his base form, that is not an assurance but he wants to work toward making it one.
