Adventures Of A Goblin

It dawned on him how dangerous of a situation he currently is in.

He has only two choices left to make, both of which could result in his death.

His first choice is to find a way to kill off the bird, jump off its back and into the lava with hopes that his fire resistance skill will save him.

His second choice, is to try and control the bird into crashing on one of the volcanic mountains below with the hopes that he won't get burnt alive.

This two choices are extremely dangerous and rely heavily on how far his fire resistance skill can go.

He chose to risk it by picking the first option.

There is a chance that if he succeeds in killing the bird, he might level up making his body more sustainable to the heat, and if it doesn't go as he predicts, then death be it.

He sat on the neck of the hawk and wrapped his legs around it.

He activates his thorn manipulation skill and sprouts out thorn from his whole leg that was wrapped around the hawk's neck.

As expected, the thorn did no damage as it immediately burns away.

He knew what he was about to do was going to be anything but easy, that is why he did not falter nor waver when the thorn burned away.

He once again activates his thorn manipulation skill around his legs and reinforced the thorns with more mana than usual to make it endurable to the heat.

Instead of trying to use the thorn to penetrate through the neck of the bird, he focused on latching it to it's skin.

With his legs now tied to the bird's neck and the thorn further strengthening the bond, he is now free to take his hands off the feathers he used to cling unto the bird and avoid falling off.

He raised his hand and started gathering mana in it, and in no time his javelin crater explosion was complete.

He did not throw the javelin crater explosion which is in form of a Spear, what he did is directly hit the head of the bird with the Spear while he was still holding it.

The collision of the Spear on the bird's head had the Goblin flying off the back of the bird.

The thorn he thought had stick tightly to the bird's neck failed him as his legs was immediately unwrapped from the bird's neck.

The Goblin was falling down and falling very fast.

as for the bird?, it got a direct hit of the javelin crater explosion but did not die.

It did take in a lot of damage to the head, but it turns out that was not enough to put it down.

It regained control of itself after the explosion and flapped its wings higher.

The only upside to this is that it left the Goblin alone and flew far away.

The Goblin with his head facing upwards looked at the red sky with a dejected face.

"is this it?...."

"is this how it is all going to end?....."

"am I really going to die while drowning in lava?...."

"what an irony this is",

"in my life as a human, I died by drowning in an ocean and now as a goblin, I am going to die while drowning in lava?".

The Goblin scoffed at his pathetic and degenerate self.

"this, doesn't seem so bad after all",

"he gave it his all, he did his best",

"in this second chance of a life he has gotten, he can hold his head held high and say, I did everything I coul...."

He could not complete the sentence,

The remaining words were unable to flow freely from his mouth as the others did.

"why am I hesitating?..."

"why can't I say it?...."

"I really did give it my all, so why can I not say it out loud and proudly?....."

"what, is wrong with me?..."

"my life is messed up, yet I accept it as the norms".

"I do nothing to try to change it and instead decided to go with the flow".

"my life is my life, it will spin how I want it to and stop when I want it to".

"merely sitting down and complaining about how shitty my life is will change nothing, nor will it solve anything".

"this, this isn't a Fairytail where everything gets handed down".

"if I do nothing, nothing will change".

"if I attempt to do something but do not put in any effort, nothing will still not change".

"only when I decide to stand up and work towards doing something will there truly be a change".

"not an elaborate and glamorous change, but a gradual one".

"this, this is my life now and I am going to live it by my rules and not one layed out or dictated to for me".

He took a deep breathe and activated his thorn erection skill and detection skill.

He changed his falling position from facing the sky to stretching out his hands and standing upright.

He closed his eyes to ward off the fear of constantly falling and concentrates deeply.

What he is trying to do, is connect two mountains together with his thorn erection skill.

This was supposed to be an almost impossible feat for him to achieve.

There is the distance limit placed on the skill due to its level still being low,

There is also the distance separating the two volcanic mountains together.

Neither of the volcanic mountains he plans on connecting together are within his range of sight, that is why he plans on using his detection as his sight.

While the detection is better than his actual sight, it also has a fixed range due to its low level.

The last and toughest obstacle that made his thinking an impossible feat to achieve is his mana capacity.

He had used two javelin crater skill which takes a lot of mana to activate and also used his thorn Manipulation Skill and thorn erection skill multiple times.

With his remaining mana Guage, he won't be able to cover a five feet distance much less a distance he cannot see with his own eyes.

If he somehow manages to by pass through this listed hurdles, there is one last hurdle that serves as an unbreakable iron wall to his thoughts.

The temperature of his surroundings.

He has witnessed first hand how easily his thorn burns before the lava.

trying to connect such thorn to a volcanic mountain that is presumably even hotter than the lava is a stupid move even for him.

He knew that, but he still wanted to try.

He said he was going to give it his all, and his all includes trying out even the most impossible of stunts.

Even while under the pressure of falling into the lava.
