The vine Orun was standing on, had also being devoured by the aftermath of the demolition bomb, and he was now falling down, also getting assimilated into the still expanding explosion.

Orun was consumed by the expansion, and found himself inside of it, surrounded by the sound of continuous destruction while he is unarmed.

His feet touched the ground, unaffected by the devastating conditions, he focused on his goal of finding out Caius's whereabouts and going to meet with him so Oracle can begin the absorption process.

Using his perception ability, he was able to spot Caius amidst the ongoing destruction filled with commotion.

He made his way toward him in a hurry, attempting to sprout out thorns so he could craft them in the form of weapons to use against Caius's weapons, but his attempt failed.

"this is worse than I thought".

He had forgotten for a moment there, that he currently is devoid of any traces of mana in his mana core, the same energy he needs in the activation of all his combat skills.

"seems I have to do this raw".

Orun clenched his fist when he had almost gotten to Caius, and he thrust them out, with the great sword set to counter him.

He made sure to position his fist so it will touch the smooth side of the sword and not the bladed side.

Despite being estranged in darkness and destruction, Caius also managed to fight back, warding off Orun with his great sword.

He did, sustain some slight mishaps from the effect of the demolition bomb.

His cloths that had proven to be sturdy with every tribulations it has been faced with so far, could not escape destruction at the hands of the demolition bomb.

His cloths from top to bottom, was burnt off by the demolition bomb, but he was able to create new pants for himself using his aura, while he left the upper part of his body bare.

'is this close enough!'.

[yes master. Absorption process will now commence].

Orun made sure to close off any distance, and as risky as it looks, he has no choice but to engage against Caius in a close quarter combat while being empty handed, and Caius equipped with two weapons that could kill him upon contact.

'Caius, move away from him, now!'.

Ignatius urgently warned Caius, giving him a stern command with immediacy backing it up.

It had perceived what Orun was trying to do by taking the risk of being so close to them despite having no weapons with him.

The energy that is being stolen from Caius's body, and slipping itself into Orun's body, that was his plan, and Ignatius was not very well pleased with an outsider stealing its mana or tapping into it without permission.

Caius ran backwards and still could not lose Orun who refused to let go of him.



He took to the sky, knowing that Orun is incapable of flight, and is the one place he can only temporarily get to.

He could use the vine to lift himself up, and that is why Caius plans on flying so high that even the vines would not be able to reach.

Orun could not pursue Caius to the sky because he had no mana to use in the creation of the vines, but there is no cause for panic.

His goal of absorbing enough mana for Oracle to use in the creation of a weapon has succeeded, and as such, he has no reason to chase after him.

"why did you have me move away from him when I almost had him".

Caius was so sure of himself that victory was within his grasp if only he had not being interrupted by Ignatius's tone that sounded very urgent to his ears.

'that, that is the reason why I stopped you'.

Caius had his head turned down in Orun's direction, to see what it is that had even Ignatius on edge.

He saw Orun standing still, and in his right hand, is the movement of mana in construction just like how he had done when he made the great sword and spear.

Orun from below, raised his head upward in Caius's direction, looking at him with a serious gaze while the weapons were being crafted in his hands.





Once the weapon construction is done, he will have with him, a weapon capable of causing damage and even killing Caius fused with Ignatius.

Finally, he would be fighting a fair fight against them, one where they both have something that is capable of killing the other, a true to the death battle.

"who are you all!".

He kept his expression calm, and showed no traces of fear on him, so they would not take him for granted.

"we are the pillars".

The one with the boned figured was the first to talk, and then the baton was handed over to the one with an unusual hairy face and having the statue of an hardcore body builder.

"the one's responsible for keeping the balance of the world".

"in our hands, is the power to crush the world into multiple fragments".

The humongous figure said, stretching his right hand big enough to fold Orun in it. He stretched it forward with his palm wide open, then he abruptly crushed it, squeezing it deep in.

"we are also bestowed upon, the power to alter the direction of all inhabitants of the world".

The long haired one with a humanoid figure is the one that spoke last, using a friendly soul warming tone.

The last thing he remembered, was him going up against Caius after he had absorbed a part of his mana to use in the creation of the sword that will end up bringing about his downfall.

That was the last thought on his mind before he ended up finding himself in here.

A place with continuous darkness, gazing deep into it only to find out that within the darkness, are four figures sitting down in a square shaped position, and each with a differing appearance, all exuding out frightful and threatening aura, the kind that made Caius's threat pale in comparison to theirs, like a cub trying to brag in the presence of their elders.

He somehow finds himself in the midst of this ridiculous folks, but he did not panic, nor show any traces of such in him.

Orun kept a straight face and a cool head before them, because he had no reason to panic.

If they wanted to, they could have easily done whatever they wanted with him helpless to do anything against it, seeing as how they somehow were able to bring him into this domain without his consent.

"why am I here!".

The best he is capable of when faced against such beings, is to question their purpose. If it is not so they could kill him, then why else would they have him here for.

"we brought you here because you, are on the verge of tipping over, the balance we have kept in place for thousands of years".

The one that spoke up, is the boned figure man completely devoid of any flesh with a spark of crimson as eyeballs.

"balance? Balance".

Orun asked, lost in thought on what it meant by him destroying their balance.

Tracing his current actions, Orun has so far not done anything on the scale of influencing the world, a world he was reincarnated into against his will as a monster.

Fought for his life to have a chance to be counted amongst those that will live to see the dawn of a new day.

That is what he has done all this while, he fought, and fought without giving up nor show any signs that he was going to.

Hiw has him wanting to live and enjoy the pleasure that comes from waking up and realizing that he is still alive, influence the world in any way?

This chapter brings us to the end of the Caius and Orun's Volume.

Now I know some of you are not satisfied with how it ended and for that, I apologize.

We all know who the eventual winner is going to be, and that is why I thought of a way to make it more eventful, you know, more fun for you readers who don't want to see the main character always winning.

By ending it this way, I created a chance for you all to decide for yourselves what the outcome of the fight is, paint it in your own desired image who the winner and loser is.

Of course, if you are still not satisfied with that, then I suggest a powerstone vote.

If at the end of this month, the book's powerstone is not beyond hundred, I will assume that you are all satisfied with this ending and leave it at that.

But, if it goes beyond hundred, I will take it as petition for me to release the full episode of the fight scene which I will.

Remember, it is your choice to make.

OH and, this is not the end of the series, but just the beginning.

The next volume will dive into the world and kingdom building aspect so be sure to stick around for that as well.
