Adventures Of A Goblin



What Orun is counting on by relentlessly attacking Mammon is to get it to exhaust its mana.

Of course he does not expect it to be easy when he considers that what he is dealing with is a Demon lord.

Mammon is sure to have a lot of mana, an almost seemingly supply of it in fact if according to its title as a Demon lord is indeed true.

He lacks the ability to calculate the specific amount of mana or threat that the current Mammon poses, but the fact that this is not its real body is a plus one for Orun.

In exchange for not knowing the original threat level of Mammon, Orun decided to believe in his own threat level.

He is strong, and has proven that to be true on several occasions. So long as he knows what his strength and weakness is, he should have no problem confronting any enemy.

Besides, as Dilya had earlier stated, the current form of Mammon is not its real form.

It is a form manifested through the use of the mana that it has to spare from its essence.

As it is not its real form, the amount of mana that can be stored in its temporary body is extremely limited.

It is similar to how Orun creates his core that represents his elemental spirits like ifreet, salamander and the likes.

They are never created using the full essence of Orun's mana but only a partial part of his mana.

The same case is what applies to Mammon's current form. There is only so much mana that can be stored inside its body.

Orun plans to exhaust its mana by destroying its body and forcing it into a situation where it has to repair its body to maintain its form.

It's hazy form takes mana to maintain, and it's physical form takes even more mana to maintain, and that is the advantage that Orun has.

Orun does not know exactly how much mana that even this current body has, but that is not going to hinder his plans.

With Orun's physical strength alone, he will continue to exhaust Mammon, luring it into his desired situation.

Only by using his physical strength alone to go up against Mammon, Orun will be keeping his mana level as full as it can for in case of any unexpected situation uprising.

That is the plan Orun came up with to use against the demon lord Mammon, and surprisingly for Orun, it is working all too well.

Either Mammon sucks at anything physical or Orun is just that superior against it in physical combat because the way things have been going with purely physical means at work, Orun has been dominating the flow of things.

He actually was not expecting that to be the case against a Demon lord, an historical figure for that matter.

Mammon is sure to have lived far longer than Orun has. Through those years, it should have accumulated a sizable amount of combat experience no matter how big or small it was.

Even if it's mana level is not full to the brim, it should still be able to make use of its combat experience to stand against Orun, not to even the playing field but to give Orun a battle for purely physical supremacy.

Orun finds it weird that Mammon is not proving to be that much of a trouble in purely physical based combat.

The amount of mana one has does not limit the physical combat experience one has accumulated over the years.

What it does is to only put a break on how much flashy ability or magic cast can be use.

The mana is what decides the destruction ratio of magic when in use, and the same goes for ability, but not experience.

Mammon as of current is not making use of any flashy moves probably because it also knows that it can't go wasting the limited amount of mana that it's form has to survive on.

If that was to be the case, and the mana does not serve as a physical combat experience disruption, then what is to explain the reasons why Mammon sucks so terribly at pure physical combat?

Is it perhaps trying to achieve something by not giving it all It has to stop Orun through the use of physical combat as well?

There are questions that kept popping up in Orun's mind, yet with no suitable answer to satisfy his curiosity with.

Orun has the tendency for thinking too highly of people, and Mammon being a Demon lord only makes the expectation that he has of it placed at a range very high.

Whichever case it is, Orun has had no problem dealing with Mammon by using his physical strength alone.

"As you are, you are not a match for me. An incomplete form maintained through the use of mana going up against a king with access to a massive dose of mana and strength capable of bringing down mountains".

Orun said, twisting his own arms like he was relaxing the muscle joints in it.

"As much as you hate to admit, in your current form, you are no match for me".

Orun was by no way making empty threats or bluffing about what he just said, either as a way to scare Mammon or for Orun to satisfy his ego.

He accepts that Mammon will be no doubt a terrifying being to have as an enemy, but only if it was in its original demon lord complete state.

The current Mammon who is forced into a state where it has to continue expending the limited supply of mana it has just to maintain its form, that Mammon is no threat for Orun who can keep on going for as long as it takes using just his physical threat alone.

Also put into consideration that Mammon unexpectedly sucks at physical combat activities, Orun does not see it a a threat unless it pulls out an unexpected trick from its years of knowledge and experience gained.
