BXBX NOVEL Chapter 296 A Terrible Option
\'Oracle, is there a way for me to put an end to this as swiftly as possible\'.
Orun is having a hard time thinking of ways to put down an enemy that turns into smoke to recover itself after being hit.
The plan he came up with, to have it exhaust its mana. That was a well thought out plan that is only useful in long term battle.
It requires time and patience to accomplish, and time happens to be the one thing that Orun is short of at the moment.
A gate leading to world destruction is a development that has to be avoided at whatever cost possible.
Orun thought of using his wood skill to trap it once it turns into an hazy smoke, but he realized that there is a lot of flaw in that plan.
No matter how confined and sealed he makes the wood like, there is still a chance for the hazy smoke to come out by merging itself into the wood and flowing out through it.
Like how breeze blows into a tightly sealed object, starting with entering the object and coming out from the other side of it.
The pores that are present in the wood will be its path out. It\'s a pore that cannot be seen with the naked eye, or pass through by something tiny.
The size of the pore is only as big as the molecules making up the air, and that goes to show just how microscopic it really is.
By asking Oracle for help, Orun is hoping that it would have a way to handle the Clone better than what he can think of..
[ Negative. The only way for Master to destroy the demon in its hazy form is by having it exhaust its mana ].
[ Another option is to release your fire and increase its intensity to a state where it is capable of evaporating even the air, turning it into nothingness ].
[Under the influence of such fire intensity, the hazy smoke will surely be burnt ].
\'I am assuming there is a condition that comes with that plan\'.
The \'negative\' that Oracle used to start its sentence with, was what gave Orun the idea that whatever plan was going to come out from it, is a plan that cannot be put to use for good reasons.
[ Raising the intensity of the fire to such an height will result in everything that it touches getting burnt. The same applies to the gate ].
That was a big negative sign that Oracle just dropped down on Orun.
It would make no sense to increase the intensity of the fire, thereby producing a result that ends up in the destruction of the gate, the same gate that he is trying to prevent from letting anything happen to it.
Orun tilted his head backward to evade the attack from one of the clones.
He stretched out both his hand to each side, and from it he created the fire on his palm.
"Flame burst".
The two clone that had the intention of attacking Orun from each side were stopped by Orun casting out his flame.
The fire shaped in the size of an orb came out from Orun\'s palm and splashed on both their bodies.
The body of the two clone tumbled aggressively to the back, an effect caused from the burst of the flame.
Another two clone stood in Orun\'s way, but he easily bypassed them by using his speed to run by their side instead of going through the center.
Orun got to the Mammon that was with Elmon, and he attempted to free Elmon by using the same flame trick he had used on the other two.
His plan was set-back by two of the clone pulling on Orun\'s leg and preventing him from reaching Elmon.
With the two of the Clone holding unto both of Orun\'s leg, they used it to throw away his body, sending it crashing into the wall and simultaneously expanding the distance between he and Elmon.
\'Damn it\'. He said in disgust.
Orun had almost gotten to Elmon. All that was remaining for him to do, is have his hand touch Elmon\'s body.
Once he does that, he will be able to free Elmon from the captivity of the Hazy figure of Mammon.
\'This is what I am talking about\'.
Orun\'s irritation toward the clone was starting to reach a level where he can barely tolerate their presence.
Their combat ability is far different from the Mammon that Orun fought with in the beginning.
The Clone were able to keep up with him, and even though he was faster than they are, they made use of their ability to turn into an hazy form as a means to get even with Orun.
The first Mammon was only using the hazy form as a way to escape Orun and regenerate its body.
The Clone on the other hand, are using it to enhance the response time of their attack on Orun.
They do not run from him or waste any time with giving speeches. The moment they turn themselves back into their physical form, they attack Orun irrespective of what he is doing.
Orun got out from the wall he crashed into. He turned his head to the direction where Dilya was.
He saw her fighting with the Clone, and struggling to put it down the same way that he is.
Dilya was obviously stronger than the Clone, but what is the use of strength if it is not able to kill your opponent?
"At long last. My will shall cloud the sky of the physical world".
Mammon had brought Elmon to the gate. It brought it hazy form to Elmon\'s right hand, and forcefully stretched it toward the gate.
In the same time, Orun was attacked by the five clone who had gotten themselves together.
"I won\'t let you".
While he was busy dealing with the five clone, Orun decided to let go of his body, creating many openings for the clones to attack.
He did so in order to get a shot at preventing Elmon\'s palm from touching the gate.
Orun sprouted out spikes from the floor in front of Elmon, and he lengthened the height of the spikes to reach the ceiling.
Orun used the spike as a barricade to keep out Elmon. In an attempt to touch it, what Elmon will end up touching is the spike.
