Adventures Of A Goblin

"come on Caius. All I need from you, is for you to say the; I need your help Ignatius, words. That is all I require for me to help you bring down this monster".

Caius was hesitant on what to do. On one hand, he knows that he can't take on Orun without the help of Ignatius. But on the other, Caius is still pissed off at Ignatius for telling Elsa about his past as a pathetic loser.

They are memories that Caius wish to not ever remember, yet Ignatius surfaced it, and to the woman he is trying to get with no less.

"you and I both know this is not the time for you to let your ego make decisions on your behalf. That monster so far, has not once taken you seriously, and has only been toying with you as he sees fit".

"clearly, the physical prowess difference has made it obvious that it is a monster that is far older than you are, and no matter what you do, the difference will not be so easily breached, unless you accept my help that is".

Caius knew the rules of physical prowess applying to how far one ages. This rule enforces itself more thoroughly when it comes to the monster kind.

Orun as a monster and an half spiritual lifeform, is blessed with strength surpassing ordinary monster kind, and passing his age inside a cocoon, has toned his body to becoming as sturdy as it can get in terms of speed and strength.

Caius who is six hundred plus, going up against Orun who has the mana level of a thousand year old, plus the seven hundred year old of his life in a cocoon, and a body that has been refined under the influence of harsh conditions.

The odds are stacked negatively against Caius in all forms and way, but such odds could easily be bypassed with Ignatius lending him a hand.

"alright, I am sorry. That is what you want to hear isn't it? Well, I am saying it now. I am sorry for telling Elsa about your past, I shouldn't have done that, but I did it anyway, so here I am apologizing to you, sorry, sorry, sorry".

Ignatius was aware of how immensely huge Caius's ego can be, especially when he sets his mind to something.

It knew that Caius is entangled in a fight he stands no chance against, and even though the monster isn't showing any signs of wanting to kill him now, the end result is inevitably going to be his death.

With him not standing a chance, and him only being pushed around, time is the only figure measuring the moment Caius gets to lose his life to the monster.

Ignatius can't have that happening. No matter how annoying he could be sometimes, Caius is still its contractor, and it has formed with him, a bond that goes far beyond being a contractor and contractee.

It can no longer imagine a world without Caius in it. Who is going to be doing the nagging, and who is it going to get in an argument with whenever it wants?

Only Caius can feel a spot like that, and no one else. Finding someone with a greater affinity like Caius, is almost impossible to come across, and forming the kind of bond it has with Caius, is also something almost, if not, impossible to come across.

If Caius had no plan on asking Ignatius for help, it decided to be the bigger man or woman, by doing what is right to appease Caius's anger toward it, and get him to want its help.

"alright, fine. You don't have to beg me that much. I am willing to accept any help you want to render".

WHY YOU..... Is how Ignatius wanted to lash out at Caius for being so arrogant, despite knowing he can't do it by himself. But, if Ignatius were to lash out now, Caius will react negatively to it, and might even reject its help.

Ignatius does not want that to happen, so it held itself back, and decided on saving it for later, after the monster is done with, then it can go on a rampage with Caius as much as it wants.

"monster. I admit, you are strong. If I were to continue fighting you by myself, it will take me a long while, but at the end, I am certain I will come out victorious".

Orun released Caius's hand, throwing him back to the ground, and allowed him the time to converse with Ignatius for as long as he wanted.

He wasn't in a hurry to put an end to Caius, and would love to take it slow.

If anything Orun has missed during his days in the Dungeon, it's the feeling of fighting for one's life. As crazy as that sounds, it's is his genuine feeling.

So far so good, no one has been able to give him the pleasure of fighting against a strong, testing his powers and fighting to his body's limits.

The one person who has managed to keep up with him so far, is Caius, and the only reason why that is, is because Caius is putting on the kind of clothing that can withstand getting dragged down and still not get destroyed, or tank Orun's punch and still remain intact.

If it wasn't for Caius's equipment, his body would have been full of scars gotten from getting dragged down into the earth, or a hole would have formed itself in Caius's body, gotten from Orun punching his fist through it.

​ So far, none of that has taken place, and that gives Caius a certified pass to helping Orun relish himself in the thrill of, a to the death battle, the kind of battle that he grew up fighting.

"who knew, that I actually am a combat maniac who takes pride in ducking it out with another strong opponent?".

This is yet another side of himself that not even Orun knows that he has.

He left Caius and Ignatius to discuss whatever they were saying, and even when he started to notice changes in Ignatius and Caius, Orun did not interfere, nor break their concentration apart.

"show me, Let me feel, the pleasure that I had once lived with everyday of my life".

Orun, getting himself ready to go up against the outcome of the changes about to occur in Ignatius and Caius.
