Adventures Of A Goblin

Caius made the first move, dashing at Orun with the sword in his right hand.

When he saw that Caius was already making his way toward him, Orun also dashed ahead, using his thorned coated fist to clash against Caius's great sword.

The recoil of their clash reverberated through the forest, a bright light shining from Orun's hand and Caius's great sword. The light engulfed them whole, reaching to the ground beneath them and swallowing up a portion of it, with the trees uprooted.

"CLANG! CLANG!".

They went at it a few more times, with their presence unseen, and only the sparks caused from the clash visible to the eye.

The two of them, moved at an unprecedented speed, the kind of speed that puts even lightening strikes to shame.

Sounds were emitted, and sparks continued to fly around, with the two changing locations from down to sides, bottom to upward. There was no place too far or too wide for them to get into.

Orun blocked the great sword with his thorned fist, and hurriedly moved his body to the side to escape being grazed by the Spear.

He jumped backward, setting up a distance between he had Caius before he made his next attack.

Orun stretched out his palm toward him, and fired off countless thorns shaped like daggers in Caius's direction.

Caius brought the Spear forward, he swings it in a circular form, in a spiral shaped form that warded off the thorns that came his way.

Orun stomped his feet on the ground, instantly sprouting out vines from it, and sending it toward Caius.

The vines speed had increased greatly, unlike how they are sprouted before where they bloom out of the ground before going after their targets.

Their speed now, is instant, with Orun's feet sending the message to the ground, and the vines hurriedly pushed out, in chase of their target.

Caius flew himself upward, evading the vines that were relentlessly chasing after him.

Regardless of what height he has flown to, or how fast he is to change his direction, the vines did not fall behind, and are desperately on his tail.

Caius was too focused on the vines chasing after him, that he could not properly respond in time to Orun's fist who had already blinked himself to his back.

He took advantage of Caius's distraction, and was easily able to jump to his back without being noticed.

Orun clenched his thorn coated fist, and hurled it at Caius from his back.

The least Caius could do in retaliation to the fist that was coming at him, is to hurriedly turn his back, and meet it with a fist of his own after he let go of the great sword on his right hand.

"BANG!"

Orun's thorned fist made direct contact with Caius's fist cladded in red dense Aura, and the outcome, was one that favored neither of them.

Caius was sent flying uncontrollably back to the ground, while Orun was pushed back, with his body smashing itself to the ground.

The battle was yet to be over for Orun who hurriedly rolled himself to the sides, away from where he had landed in.

Seconds after Orun had rolled away, the great sword Caius had earlier let go off, landed on the same spot Orun had fell on.

A moment of breath, was all it took for the great sword to have been implanted into Orun's body if he had not moved out of the way in time.

Orun had only just managed to evade the great sword, when he had another incoming attack from his back.

Caius had thrown the Spear at him, destroying all that stood in its path as it made its way over to where Orun was.

Orun turned his body in the direction the Spear was coming from, and sprouted out vines, making their shape out in the form of walls, like a defensive structure to stop the Spear from approaching further.

His expectations fell short as the vine wall was unable to affect the speed the Spear was traveling at, much less stop it in its tracks.

Orun sprouted out more of the vine walls, forming them in layers to stop the Spears, but none were able to accomplish his intention.

The Spear bulldozed through the obstacles in its path, and eventually found its way to where Orun was.

He slightly jumped up, evading the Spear, while making sure that the distance between he and it was only an arms reach away.

The Spear passed Orun by, going under him, and he instantly jumped back down, followed the Spear before it lands, and grabbed unto the handle.

Orun saw the effectiveness of the Spear, and how unstoppable it is when thrown. His intention, is to grab the Spear and use it against Caius, but he failed to do that.

No matter how much force Orun puts into it, he was unable to control the Spear, nor stop its advancement.

Caius from where he stood, saw that Orun had grabbed the Spear and is having trouble controlling it.

He stretched his hand forward, commanding the Spear to come back to him, with Orun still attached to it.

It was clear to Orun that the Spear is not something he can control, and that only Caius could control and use it.

He still did not let go of the Spear even after it has been called back by Caius.

Orun bid his time until the Spear was about to reach Caius's grip, it was then that he decided to make his attack.

When he was ten feet closer to Caius, Orun sprouted out vines from Caius's back and sides, he then jumped on the Spear's body to spring himself up with the recoil.

While up in the air, he reached out his arm toward Caius and sprouted out thorns from it.

An attack coming from above him, and one from below him, is what Orun was aiming for.

Caius would have undoubtedly been in a difficult situation if it was the him before his fusion with Ignatius, but not now.

He took a stance with the sword, aiming it at Orun who is above him, and slashed it down.
