BXBX NOVEL Chapter 275 Balance
Both party have become physically and mentally blinded to their surrounding and what location they are in.
Orun finds it hard to trace the three Elven elders, likewise they also find it hard to trace down Orun.
He had now reached a point where he has to decide if he is going to leave the forest be or take it down to pinpoint the location of all three Elven elders.
Orun though could not see the three elders, decided to focus on predicting their moves.
What would they do after getting stranded in a forest with no sign of their opponent in plain sight?
Answer; they would go for the one thing capable of making their opponent submissive and leading to the created forest getting canceled.
And who is the elder capable of achieving that goal? The same elder that Orun had tied up so he could have his feet on the ground.
Orun turned his body and hastily moved himself back to where he got the earth elder trapped in.
Like he had suspected, he saw the three elders close to the earth elder and ready to set him free.
He would not make it there in time to stop them from releasing the earth elder, but there are other ways to stop them without him getting close to them.
From the vines that tied down the earth elder, Orun sprouted out thorns from it and used it to delay the three elders if only for a little while.
The thorns were able to achieve Orun\'s aim of keeping them busy long enough for him to get to them.
Getting to them, Orun chose to first go after the wind elder. He was however confronted by the fire elder who stopped him from getting any further than he already is.
The fire elder from a distance, blasted several fireballs in Orun\'s direction.
Orun had his right hand forward and dispersed the fireball when it got to him and made contact with his hand.
"As one who draws their power from nature, tou should know what it means to be an elemental king".
The fire elder draws out his fire from nature, the same properties that Orun represents as the fire Elemental king.
The act of attacking him with that same elemental property was insane and totally a dense move to make.
It should also be obvious to the fire elder that no matter how hot or how explosive he makes his fire, it will never be able to withstand going against its creator.
That is exactly the same thing that happened with the fire balls that the fire elder hurled at Orun.
It hearkened to its creator\'s command by becoming a part of him rather than attack him according to the command giving by the fire elder.
The fire elder did not panic when he saw how Orun was able to easily disperse his fire ball.
It was almost as if he had expected something like that to happen, yet he still did it out of the need to satisfy his curiosity.
The water elder joined in as well, to help the fire elder distract Orun while the wind elder work on getting the earth elder out of the vines hold.
Her wind based attack had shown to be useful when it comes to cutting down the vines.
She waved her hand about four times like she was doing a slash sign in the air.
After what she did, from her hand came four slash waves in the form of wind and shaped like the edge of a scythe meant for cutting.
The wind slash waves got to the vines that held down the earth elder, each wave cutting through each of the vines responsible for holding down his two legs and two feet.
It did not cut deep enough to have it shed itself off the earth elder\'s four limbs, but it went in deep enough to achieve its aim with a few more tries.
The wind elder kept on it while the fire elder and the water elder kept Orun busy.
The fire elder decided it was best for him to face Orun in a close type combat since his elemental ability had no effect on him.
He made his way toward Orun while the water elder toosed him a sword made out of her water elemental powers.
His fist will not be able to do much to any damage to Orun with his body durability, but the same cannot be said with using an elemental opposite that of what Orun has.
Is what the water elder was thinking when she made the sword and threw it to the fire elder.
The sword made out of water is still in its liquid water like state, but compacted together like rubber able to draw out and undraw.
Orun is a fire Elemental spirit king, meaning he has max level affinity toward the element of fire, hence why the Elven fire elder\'s attack will do nothing to him.
Being a fire Elemental king has its own advantages with a short list of disadvantages, that involves him coming into contact with an element opposite to what he rules over.
As an elemental king, there is a chance that his tolerance to an elemental opposite that of his would be high and barely be enough to do damage to him if it was coming from someone else that is not an elemental king as he is.
It won\'t do much damage, but it might still be enough to keep up with him when used as a weapon.
What the water elder did not understand is that the authority possessed by an elemental king is greater than what any other elemental user who is not a king has.
Just as how fire is the adversary and enemy of water, so is water the adversary and enemy of fire.
If water is capable of putting a lit fire off, the same thing can happen to water getting boiled up by fire until it ends up evaporating then fades into existence.
The two elemental balance each other. One does not rule or have the absolute authority over the other.
All that is required for balance to be in place, is that whoever is making use of the elemental both have an equal status to it.
And the Elven water elder does not meet the condition necessary to have her water go up against Orun\'s fire.
