Adventures Of A Goblin

'Oracle, when you said dire, you should have specified more on it'.

'this situation to me is beyond dire, this is a kind of situation you refer to as frightening or terrifying'.

'how can I be hanging in the hands of one of the Goblin generals and you call it dire like it's a breeze through kind of situation?....'

'i am beginning to doubt your ideology of a bad situation, because this, is a terrible situation and not a dire situation'.

'how did I even get to hanging in the hands of the Goblin general?..'

[the ability of the first general was more than I accounted for, but still within the range of doable].

[i had gotten too close to him, and caught aware, leading to my capture].

'and, is there any way to break out of his hold'.

[yes there is master, but it is an extreme method that will leave master feeling discomfort].

'i will take that over having to follow this psychopaths anyday, anytime'.

'so what do I have to do'.

[he did not place master's body close to himself because he is wary of what master might do then, that is why he is dangling master's body with a stretched out hand].

[teleportation is also another effective way of getting free, but for some reasons, I can not teleport master away from his hold].

[in this case, there is only one thing master can do to get out of his hold].

[master needs to amputate the leg that is been held captive by the Goblin general].

'amputate?, that shouldn't be too hard, I have amputated all two's before, so what's a one that I can't amputate'.

'when you said discomfort, I thought it was going to be something grandiose, but it's just amputation, too easy'.

The four Generals who were making their way back to the lower floor, suddenly stopped.

Their reasons for stopping was none other than the Goblin the first general was holding unto.

Through the journey, he kept on squirming and doing whatever he could to take the first general's hand off of his leg, and now he has stopped resisting.

He remained docile, and with his lifeless face to add, led the generals under the assumption that he might be dead.

"first general, it seems he is dead" (second general).

"he is not, I can still hear his faint breathing" (first general).

"he is moving again...., but what is he doing" (third general).

the Goblin who had remain silent, made sudden movements once again. He raised his upper body that was dangling down, and produced out thorn from his palm, using it to cut through his leg.

He precisely cut through the part of the leg that wasn't being held by the fourth general.

When he was done, he jumped away from the Goblin generals and landed only on one feet, the complete one that is.

'Oracle, what happened to Tarja'.

[I placed her somewhere around the gate where she would be safe in].

'good. Oracle, is there any chance of winning against all four of them if they come at me together'.

[I have collected and analyzed the necessary data about their mode of combat after I took over master's body].

'and...'

[they are all fairly powerful, but the one that poses the most threat to master, is the first Goblin general].

'what are the odds, me on all four of them'.

[not good master, but if it's a one on one showdown, master will surely come out victorious].

'so my best chance at survival is reducing their number before engaging them in an open combat?.....'

[if master can take out the first general, the remaining three will be no problem for master].

'except i do not assume the first general will watch as I take out his Comrades?.....'

[there is a possibility that he will. The bond between the four of them is not to the point of sacrificing their lives for each other].

[they operate on individual strength, if the first general consider's the other three general's as baggage, he would do anything to take them out himself].

'some comradeship they have going on there'.

'my best bet is driving a wedge between them, or somehow create a scenerio where i have to make the first general think of the other three generals as baggage and end up taking them out by himself?...'

'hmm....., that sure is a good possibility, but not a very assured one'.

'no matter how less he thinks of his comrades, turning on them when you have an enemy against you isn't really a wise option to go for'.

'also, what kind of scenario can I make up that will drive a wedge between them, when I know absolutely nothing about them?'.

'this whole situation is even more messed up, I wonder what level they are at now for them to make I, who is no longer bound by level this desperate?..'

[master, it is not about the level but about the skill. If one has a powerful unique skill, they can surpass their level limits and go up against beings without level].

'if you say the first general is a troublesome opponent, am I to assume he has a unique skill'.

[it appears so master].

'and, do you have any idea what it might be'

[it is a skill related to lightening. The effect of his lightening can nullify master's vine Elemental, inferno Elemental unique skill, and even teleportation does not work when in contact with his body].

[when I checked earlier, he had lightening coming out of the hand he was using to hold unto master's leg, that is why I couldn't use the teleportation].

[it however did not affect master when you produced the vines from your palm, thus my conclusion that physical touch is required on the body parts needed to use the skill].

[the only option for master going against him is to resort to physical prowess].

'close combat fighting?, that's not really my strongest point'.

[master, there is also a better choice laid down].

'what is it.....'

[with master's permission, I can teleport you safely out of here, and won't have to fight with them].

'why should I have to do that?....',

'why should I have to run when I did nothing wrong?...'

'this same goblins captured me and treated me as they saw fit, so why should I have to run from the likes of them?...'

'i matter just as much as they do, I have a life just as they do',

'if they think they can treat me badly because I am weaker, I won't be sitting still'.

'I will not be taken for granted, nor will I allow anyone walk over me as they see fit, not when I know my worth'.

'besides, if I were to run, they would just try to track me down again like they did the first time',

'i have no reason to run from the likes of them, nor do I plan to'.

'its either I die trying to kill them, or they die trying to kill me'.
