Chapter 302 Orun's Declaration
Dilya has told him that her ability is not combat oriented. Orun assumed it to be some sort of psychic ability, and wonders if such an ability would work against Mammon.
He has also seen the four elders in battle, and even though they did not go full mode on him, Orun estimated their full mode to not be greater than Cerberus.
There is also Theron and Monryck. He knows very well what those two are capable of. Orun can confidently say with his chest puffed out, that they are not at a stage to go up against Cerberus.
\'I have to think of something to give them an advantage over\'.
Orun rummaged through his memories for ways he can resort to, to prevent sending out Monryck and Theron on a suicide mission.
\'Hmm.... I can create Efreet and salamander. If the two elemental spirits team up with Theron, Monryck, and the four elders, they should have a chance at taking down Cerberus".
Orun had both of his hands stretched forward, to create the barrier that Efreet and Salamander would come out from, the same way that Caius had done.
[ Master, I have crucial information that will be of help to you, so please, hear me out instead of shunning me without listening to what I have to say ].
Orun was not surprised. Mostly because he remembered Oracle to have once acted out of command like it just did.
\'Okay, what do you have to say\'.
He resigned his fate to listen to Oracle. It acting out of order must mean that the information it wants to deliver is just that important.
[ I have reasons to believe that the reason why Cerberus is not going after Mammon, is because it can\'t ].
\'You mind expatiating on that\'.
He was beginning to get what Oracle was trying to convey, but could not quite make it all out with only the limited information it released.
[ Mammon was able to bypass getting dragged back to hell, by transferring its body into a human\'s body and creating the illusion that it never left hell ].
\'What?\'.
Orun thought he was on the path to comprehending what Oracle was telling him, but he could not have been more wrong about that.
Oracle\'s last statement only seeks to confuse him, leaving him to fend for himself by trying to understand what Oracle meant.
\'Oracle what do you me!\'.
Orun was interrupted from any further mental conversation with Oracle, as a result of Cerberus finally making a move.
It raised all three heads in the direction that Orun and the rest are standing. Cerberus held down its breath like it was trying so hard not to inhale the air in the atmosphere.
It brought down its head, along with releasing its breath and black flame from all three mouths, similar to a scene showing how water is passed out through a pipe.
Orun hurriedly got himself to the front and reached out his hand at the incoming black flames about to rain on them.
[ Master has absorbed the purgatory black flames of hell\'s gatekeeper].
[ Master has assimilated the constitution building up the black flames of hell ].
[ Master\'s Job effect has been activated. purgatory Black Flame has become a part of Master\'s flame ]
[ Purgatory Black Flame: An eternal flame that renders eternal pain, torment, and suffering to those exposed to its influence ]
Orun ignored the message that keeps flooding in from Oracle, and he kept his focus on dealing with the flame in front of him, to make sure none of it slips past him.
When he was done absorbing the black flames, he turned his head to ask if they were okay.
Unfortunately for him, he was attacked within the slight minute that he had his head turned opposite Mammon and Cerberus.
"You are mine, Fire King".
His body was grabbed by Mammon and pushed far away from where the others stood.
"I will leave you guys to handle Cerberus, while I go and help Lord Orun".
Theron was about to follow Orun in the direction that he was carried to by Mammon. He was however stopped by Dilya who promised to go after them by herself while Theron focuses on providing help to the Elven elders in their battle against Cerberus.
"You are doomed now Spirit King. With my full strength regained, you stand no chance of winning against me".
Mammon declared, with his fingers wrapped around Orun, while they keep moving at hyperspeed.
"How many times do you want me to repeat myself? Never count your eggs before they hatch".
Orun did not make any attempt to struggle on taking Mammon\'s finger off his neck.
With a smile, he diabolically smirked at Mammon, revealing only his upper teeth.
"Racial Skill Activation; Spirit King Mode".
pαndα---noνɐ1,сoМ With Orun\'s proclamation came about fire coming out of his body, and enveloping him like a bubble wrap shield.
Orun did not wait for the fire to finish constructing itself, as he commanded a part of it to wrap around Mammon\'s leg.
With his hand gesture, he commanded the fire that was around Mammon\'s leg, to yank him away from Orun, which surely happened.
Mammon was forcefully separated from Orun, and then thrown down on the ground.
"You are not the only one restricted from using their full strength Mammon".
Orun said, hovering himself above Mammon while the fire on his body continues to move constructively.
"As much as I respect and think highly of you as a historical figure, the same way I will not hesitate to put you down the moment you show that you are an enemy set to prevent my goals from being achieved".
Orun\'s expression had changed from his normal self he always made sure to make certain expressions depending on his mood.
Now, he had a stoic cold expression on his face, bringing out his figure as an absolute heartless monarch.
His body also changed along with his expression. Cladded in well-fitted full body armor, colored crimson with hints of gold on some parts of it.
The only part of his body that was left exposed, is his face, with his long hair freely flowing down.
"Let us put an end to this".
He said, staring intently at Mammon who was also quick to recover from the crash.
