Adventures Of A Goblin

"Participating in a duel sounds nice, but I really don't think there is any opponent here who can contend against me".

Orun was not bragging but simply stating a fact to the Elven queen.

Since becoming an elemental king, he has yet to meet his mtach, a rival to help him measure his strength and has never once being forced to have to go full mode on his opponent.

Orun is not saying that he has achieved his dream of being so strong that he will have nothing to worry about.

No, he never said such a thing because he knows that he is still nowhere near the strength that miss dragon exude out with only her presence.

There is also the Pillars who he met with while he was still an Infernal Goblin race.

Back then, their presence overwhelmed him greatly that he questioned how they achieved their strength.

For the Pillars however, things are very different now because Orun has evolved since their last meeting and have now become an elemental king.

It is not a hundred percent certain as he has yet to test it out, but Orun is half sure that he won't be lacking before the Pillars.

With that said, the elves are powerful and their technique that grants them direct connection to nature is also of high value, but that will not be enough if they are faced against Orun.

He has a speed that puts the speed of light to shame and a body durability that would require a weapon on the mythic grade to do him any harm.

He also has a power output that can bring about an earthquake, causing a volcano eruption with just a fist to the ground.

With those things listed, who among the elves will be strong enough to give him a satisfied duel?

A duel that does not require him having to drop down his base power level just so he can match with the opponent's pace.

As for Dilya, Orun is not sure what the outcome of a duel with her will end up like.

Unlike the rest of the elves, Orun is not able to see through the Elven queen nor discern how strong she is from reading her mana level.

Everytime he tries, he feels this blockade standing in his path and pushing him back before he gets any reading.

That was a message telling Orun that she is strong enough to resist his reading on her and even going as far as pushing him away.

He won't because of that assume that she is stronger than he is, but he sure as hell can confidently say that if a duel between he and her breaks out, he would have to give it everything he has got in him.

That is what Orun thinks from not being able to get a reading on her.

"I don't suppose you will be my opponent".

Orun jokingly asked her, knowing fully well that she would not accept his proposal.

If she wanted a fight with Orun, she would have directly asked him, but she did not.

Meaning she has no intention of dueling with Orun in the arena ground.

"I am sorry to disappoint you, but I am not a perfect match to go up against you".

Orun did not understand what she meant by what she said.

"What is that supposed to mean".

Not being a perfect match for him? The same person whose combat level he could not discern due to the blockade stopping him from getting a proper reading on her?

How can that same person tell him she will not be a perfect match for him?

Is she overestimating him or is she underestimating herself? Orun could not tell which one it was.

"My specialty does not categorize me as physical type combatant. Therefore making me not up to your standard in physical terms".

Orun assumed what she meant was she is not the type to be physical with others.

Orun for example is purely physical based, charging in at his enemies by making use of his body's physique.

The skills he makes use of does not exempt him from being a physical type. It only further pushes him into the category of a physical type combatant.

It deals physical damage to his enemies and can also be used physically on Orun to strengthen him with.

What the Elven queen might be referring to is the kind of attacks that deals mental damage to their opponents rather than physical damage like Orun's.

Mental damages like casting an illusion on their opponents or putting a heavy strain on their mental state, stretching it out to exhaust them at a faster pace.

Orun has not been faced with a mental damage before so he does not know the specifics of how high its damage can be or how catastrophic it is when in use.

"You have my curiosity piqued".

Orun's interest to learn more about the Elven queen's ability surfaced.

He wants to see for himself up close how effective it is when used on an opponent and in what way does it affect those who are exposed to it.

He has no idea of what the future holds for him, but he does know that if he keeps on threading the current path he is on, Orun knows he is bound to meet with some pretty deadly opponents.

He can't say or predict what sorts of opponents they will be or what kind of skill they will be equipped with.

But for a future like that, there is no harm for Orun to start preparing himself as of current, starting with his familiarity and exposure to the variety of ability he has access to.

He still does not know what sort of skill Dilya has with her, but her statement already tells him that it is a kind he has never seen before.

Seeing her skill in use and discerning its effect on the one it is used on? Orun considers it the same as killing two birds with one stone.

"I beg to differ. My ability will do no good in the entertainment sector".

Dilya showed her adamant side using the tone of her speech as a way to convey what she feels.

Her being so insistent got Orun even more fired up to see what it is she has hiding in her cupboard.

"Instead of fighting against I who would not be able to properly entertain you, I propose going up against the council of elders. I am sure together, they can give you the satisfaction of combat that you desire".
