Adventures Of A Goblin



Orun in shock, deactivated his spirit king mode, not taking his eyes off of the cloud that was slowly but surely making their way toward him.

His armor dissipated and the clothing he earlier had on came into view.

"As he said, the world is doomed," Orun said, in agreement with Mammon.

What can be done against demon kinds numbering in the millions? He does not have that amount of force at his disposal, and he sure as hell is certain that the elven kind does not have that kind of number.

Sure their kingdom is large as it is wide, big enough to be the size of three if not four continents on earth joined together.

However, that is all there is to them. Their number is sure as hell not that overwhelming, and he can also argue that their combat power, does not stand a chance against that.

The numbers of the demons are not the only thing they have to worry about. There is also the ominous aura that is wiping out everything that stands in its way as it continues to slowly moves toward Orun.

Whatever lifeform of the elven family that once lived in those parts of the kingdom will surely be no more.

"What do we do". Dilya asked, turning to face Orun.

She just as much as he is, is taken aback by the appearance of the demon army. She knows her duty as a queen and has been told what to expect when the gate to the underworld is opened.

What Dilya was not prepared for, is seeing it in person. The numbers of the demon army. The feeling got from seeing such numbers, the dreadful truth about what kinds of demons are packed in that numbers.

Everything suddenly came crashing down on her like an unwelcome, unexpected stormy day.

Demon rankings start from low, to greater to arch, and then to a demon lord.

The rankings have them all bowing to the demon lords as the supreme overlords. A demon lord without an archdemon among his army of demons is not a certified demon lord.

Just like monsters, the demon kinds pride themselves when it comes to individual strength.

And in a way, they take it more seriously than monsters themselves, due to the harsh survival environment they are born into.

According to the rankings, a low-level demon has strength that is in the same ranking as a low-tier spirit. A greater demon is equivalent to an intermediate-level spirit.

An archdemon is roughly on the same ranking as the highest-tier spiritual life form. In other news, there have to be thousands if not tens of thousands of arch demons.

This translates to the fact that there are a massive number of archdemons that are on the same level as Efreet and Salamander present in the demon army.

The archdemons going by experience could even be stronger than Efreet and Salamander. Not only do they have experience surviving the demon world, but they have also lived a lengthened lifestyle fighting and conquering their way through until they got from a low-level demon to an archdemon.

The odds are heavy against Orun and Dilya, and the chances of them coming out victorious had just gone from great, to nearly impossible.

Orun did not have to ask Oracle before he knows that he has gotten himself into a deep messy situation.

"We have to stop the ominous aura from getting any closer". Dilya suggested, looking at Orun in case he might have an idea.

She had a point, and Orun reasoned well with her point. The only problem about that point is that he does not know how to stop an aura from corroding over everything, how to stop an army of demons from marching down and taking over the world.

At this stage, Orun was lost as he was confused about everything. There was nothing he can do to stop what is about to be unleashed.

His power is not enough to stop it, and not even his spirit king mode can do so.

As powerful and overpowered as that mode is, it has one terrible side effect which has to do with the time limit.

Taking down millions of demons in his spirit king form will take days to accomplish, and he does not have that much time on his hands.

Before he can accomplish that, nature will sense him and thus return him to the spiritual realm. His presence is needed here more than it is in the spiritual realm.

[ Master, I have a way to stop the corrosion aura and the army of demons from spreading any further ].

While Orun was in dismay about what to do, Oracle's voice rang in his head with a solution to his problems.

'I am all ears'.

Without any questions asked, Orun was willing to do whatever plan Oracle comes up with. It is a skill similar to an intelligent ai. Saying it has a way to end this, means that it has a way to end this.

[ A barrier. That is the way to keep them temporarily trapped in ].

'A barrier? I am sure the elven queen with a barrier covering her city would have suggested that if she thought it was going to stop them.

[ That is correct, but things are different ].

[ The corrosive aura and the army of demons, are spiritual entities with energy opposite to what you represent. When I proposed a barrier, I meant using your spiritual energy which can also be translated to as a positive energy, to counter their negative energy ].

It was a good plan, one that Orun was able to understand without further explanation needed.

He morphed himself into his spirit king form and had both of his hands pressed to the ground with his thoughts in deep concentration.

Orun effortlessly connected himself to the ground and drew up a line that reached up until where the elven border.

From his left side down to the elven border, and his right side also down to the elven border.

The connection was established and the bridge had already surfaced from the ground. All Orun had to do now, is cast it to the roof and use it to cloud over where the demons are, to prevent them from getting closer and going out of the elven nation through the back.

"What is that".

Orun during his moment of concentration was interrupted by the sighting of a flamed beast chased down by the cloud of demons.

He relaxed his pace and concentrated on the flame beast. Through that, Orun was able to discover that it was Salamander, and on its back is the four elven leaders, Monryck and Theron.

He thought their bodies has been lost and forgone from making contact with the ominous aura, but they safely got out of it by riding on Salamander's back and using it as their ticket out of there.

Even though they were being chased down by Demons, he could not just raise the barrier and abandon them in there.

Orun timed their arrival and bid himself until they had made it through the range of the barrier before he fully erect it.

Luckily for them, they had a massive gap of headstart from the demons, and Salamander's flying ability was nothing to joke about.
