Chapter 290 Sorted That Out



"Would you also happen to know the reason why it is here".

Orun understood the basis that Mammon was not here in accord to the will of the Elven queen.

He also got from the aura flying around, and the malice filling the atmosphere that Mammon's presence in here is not for any good.

What is next on the list for him to understand is the motive, the purpose that brought Mammon all the way to the Elven nation.

Surely it did not just intrude on the Elven nation for the sole purpose of intruding.

There has to be a purpose for its unwanted visit, and in what way does that purpose link to the massive gate that is behind Elmon.

Orun also has a question on how Mammon was able to breach through the barrier that was supposedly covering the entire Elven nation, but he decided to leave that question on pending and instead attend to the serious ones.

"It is here for the gate".

He got that the gate has something to do with why Mammon intruded on the Elven nation.

It was made pretty clear when it made its goal to coming all the way to here, starting from where Orun first picked up its ominous presence.

"And why the gate?".

The gate must pose as a very significant object if Mammon the demon depicted as an all powerful, one of the seven rulers of sins decided to make its way to the Elven nation despite knowing that risks will be involved.

What Orun wants to know is how high of a significant the gate is worth, and how it just so happens to be an object capable of causing world destruction.

"The gate is a pathway connecting the underworld to the material world. Mammon seeks to open the gate so that its army of demons can come through to conquer the world".

He was too taken aback to controlling the falling of his Jaws with his mouth wide open.

Orun was too hasty in his judgment making. Believing that there is nothing in this world that can surprise him was a mistake on his part.

A gate leading to the underworld, that same underworld where only the souls of the dead wanders in.

The fact that there is a physical part in the form of a gate to get there is already insane enough.

Realistically speaking, why would there be a need for a physical gate leading to the underworld when in actuality, weather one likes it or not, there is still a chance of ending up there after death.

Such a place is really not deserving of its own physical gate, is what Orun thought.

Also, without that gate in existence, the chances of Mammon coming here is very slim because it has no reason to.

If the gate is what brought Mammon here, it is only right that it is destroyed to stop Mammon from achieving its goal.

That was his other mind suggestion on how to deal with the prevention of Mammon in the elven nation.

Orun retracted his thinking steps and decided to dial it down so as not to get too ahead of himself.

What are the chances that the Elves have not thought as far as he did on how to deal with the gate?

They could have come up with a conclusion like that, but are unable to put it into practice for reasons best known to them.

If that is the case, the gate has to stay intact without getting destroyed.

If the gate was off limits, then what is preventing any of those with the intention of opening the gate to get anywhere near it?

That is where the barrier then comes into play. It is made to prevent those who might have the intention of getting to the gate.

The barrier casted over the Elven nation Is not just acting as a shield to keep the gate in, it is also acting as a shield to stop those with ill intentions from attacking them and freeing the gates.

The Elves did not just on their own choice decide to trap themselves in a cage, they did it to keep the world safe, very much like what the so called Pillars do, maintaining order.

"To be sure that we are on the same page here. That demon must not be allowed to open the gate right".

Orun was just coming up with speculations of his own, and has yet to verify or rather to assuredly verify from the one who knows the best how dire their situation is as of current.

"That is right. It is a being that should never even be allowed near the gateway".

Dilya not only responded to Orun's question using her words, she also did so by nodding her head in confirmation.

"Good. Glad we have sorted that out".

Orun says, stretching out his right hand moments after he replied to Dilya.

In front of his stretched out palm came the existence of five fireballs, each being in the form of a size big enough to be held in Orun's palm one at a time.

Orun opens the room for aggressive means by sending out the five fireballs to attack the demon Mammon all at once.

It was a form of test to Orun, to get details on how strong the enemy he is dealing with is before charging at him physically.

The fireballs are a good way of measuring his opponents capabilities due to how much force and destruction is packed into one fireball.

A single fireball casted on a whim by a fire type elemental king has a damage capability of bringing down a fifteen story building or more.

With five of them in play, the destruction that would be caused from them exploding together side by side would prove to be more effective.

Like adding fuel to a burning fire, the explosion of one fireball would aide in expanding the range of the fireball that is next in line to explode.

It would help each other out, thereby doing more harm than what it would be capable of when used one at a time.
