Adventures Of A Goblin

With the pressure from the earth elder, and the actions of Efreet and Salamander, the wind elder took their advice and came down from Cerberus's head, leaving the rampaging beast free of anything living standing on its body.

Like a timer that had run out of ticking moments, Efreet and Salamander started their movements toward Cerberus the moment the wind elder got off its body.

The ground trembled and rumbled at the might of every footstep taken by Efreet running toward Cerberus.

The air became hotter with every flap of the Salamander's burning wings released into the atmosphere.

Disaster-like moments were happening, and it was all gotten from Salamander and Efreet moving their heavy tusked body.

All of them getting off of Cerberus's body gave the gatekeeper room to think, to strategize a way out of its current predicament.

And like they all feared Cerberus for being a vest with an adaptive sense, It stuck through to that heritage by coming up with a way out of the moldy, sticky ground holding down its body.

Cerberus concentrated all three of its mouth to the ground holding down its body. In other words, it planned on setting aflame the ground that its body was stuck in.

In one breath, it poured out its fire breath attack and down on the muddy ground. Its purpose for doing this is to solidify the muddy ground.

Heat and mud resulted in the solidification of said mud, and that was Cerberu's intention.

The earth elder tried to hold on for as long as he could, or at least until the two monstrous figures got to Cerberus.

He continued to turn the ground muddy and tried to keep it wet even in the face of the flame pouring down on it.

He however could not succeed in that task. Cerberus's flame was far too powerful for him to keep up with.

Cerberus succeeded in heating the ground to a degree where all that needs to be done, is for it to force its body out by breaking through the solid brick-like ground.

When it finally broke itself free from the muddy ground, the gatekeeper of hell turned its attention over to the incoming Efreet and Salamander.

Cerberus made the first attack by spilling out flames from all three of its mouth, two of the mouth targeting Efreet and the third mouth aiming at Salamander who is making its journey from the sky.

Before the flame breath got to Efreet, it clenched its fist and punched the ground with it.

The sound of the punch reverberated on the ground, with a vibration signal sent to everything standing within the range of the ground that was affected by the punch.

The ground that took the punch of Efreet was shattered into large fragments.

Efreet picked up one of the fragments and hurled it at one of Cerberus's heads aiming at it. The earth fragment heavily collided with the head, and although it did no noticeable damage to Cerberus, it did accomplish the goal of temporarily putting to a halt the fire breath coming out of its mouth.

To evade the second fire breath, Efreet lept its body off the ground, jumping to an insane height. The fire breath passed by under Efreet's leg a few moments after it made the jump.

ραпdαn?νel If Efreet were to get back down in that condition, its body would undoubtedly be caught in Cerberus's fire. That was prevented by Salamander who flew itself above Efreet, allowing the humanoid giant to grab unto one of its legs.

It carried Efreet in the sky and flapped its wings to cover the distance between them and Cerberus. All the while, the gatekeeper of hell had also recovered from the earth fragment thrown to its face.

As they were moving toward it, Cerberus was sending waves of hot flame shaped like a ball, hurling it at the sky to stop them from getting any closer.

Once in a while, Cerberus added a ray of fire breath to its attacks and then switches back to consecutive ball of fire.

Salamander with Efreet grabbing onto its leg, maneuvered through the sky, tilting and evading Cerberus's flame from touching or stopping them.

"We have to help them". The earth elder voiced out.

He knew how deadly Cerberus flame was when it comes into contact with anything showing animosity toward the gatekeeper.

Although he has not had a personal experience with it having it come into contact with his skin. The earth elder has felt it from his connection with the earth that the flames have so far touched.

Never in a lifetime will the earth that made contact with Cerberus's skin ever be able to be fruitful. Cerberus flame has killed its vitality and rendered the earth a barren land till eternity.

That is what the flame is capable of doing to anything it touches. Making contact with Efreet and Salamander would resort in the two highest-tier spirits having their physical form turn back into nothingness.

The earth elder could not risk that happening. The two fire elemental spirits were summoned by Orun to aid them in their battle against Cerberus.

The fire spirit king knew they were going to have trouble contending against the might of Cerberus alone, that is why he sent Efreet and Salamander.

Staying still and watching the two elemental spirits get corroded by Cerberus's flame and having their body dissipate from existence would put them all back to square one.

To stop that from happening, the earth elder hurried to help out in seeing to it that none of Cerberus's flame gets to the two elemental spirits until they get to Cerberus.

He manipulated the earth, forming out a wall that was able to block one of the fireball from getting to the elemental spirits.

The rest of them could not stand by and watch the earth elder carry the weight alone in helping out the elemental spirits.

They decided to out in their effort in ensuring that Salamander and Efreet make their way to Cerberus without do much as getting scratched by the fire attack.
