"Don't think you can get away from me that easily!".
She declared, interrupting his pose from the back came a fist that disrupted Mammon's elegant posture and declaration time.
"Queen, what are you doing". Orun asked, talking to Dilya who had kicked Mammon from the back.
Her feet got back to the ground and then she made her way to where Orun was.
"I am here to help". She responded, turning to face Mammon.
After the kick, Mammon got his body off the ground and showed no signs of damage taken.
It was to be expected. What Dilya did was kick him from the back. The kick carried no other effect except for acting as a means of Dilya orienting entrance.
"What about the gatekeeper".
Orun expected Dilya to join with the others to contend against Cerberus. He knew he was capable of fending off Mammon by himself without the need for external interference.
"They can take care of Cerberus by themselves. Defeating Mammon is more important. With him gone, Cerberus will also return to the underworld".
The only reason why Cerberus is present in the material world is because of Mammon. Dilya believes that once Mammon is gone, Cerberus will be too.
She trusts Orun to be able to go up against Cerberus, what she does not believe is that Orun alone could handle Cerberus by himself.
"I have the situation here all handled. It will be better for you to go and help them out against Cerberus".
Orun has a plan set in motion that is guaranteed to take down Mammon, and not just Mammon. It is a plan that will work against any opponent he comes across.
All that is required for the plan to be activated is time, and Orun can stall for that time by drawing out the battle with Mammon.
"Believe me Sp,irit King, I do trust you, but I am also well aware of the dangers posed by the demon lord. You and I working together is for the best".
Dilya does not doubt Orun but believes it is a better idea for her and Orun to work together.
With Orun's ability and Dilya's powers, Mammon would certainly get pushed back by them.
"Alright".
While Orun knows that he can handle Mammon alone, refusing further help from Dilya will just be making things weird.
He created Efreet and Salamander to help contend with Cerberus, so he could have his mind at peace with Theron, Moneyck, and the elven elders.
"It does not matter. Five of you joining together will not change what is to befall you, nor will anything change if there are ten of you".
Mammon watched them bicker between them, arguing about who gets to stay and who does not.
To him, none of them mattered for he was sure that regardless of what is done, there is no stopping what is about to be unleashed.
Done with the argument that ended in Dilya's favor, she sprang her body into action and began her attack on Mammon.
Dilya stretched out her hand in Mammom's direction and used her ability on her.
"Stop!!".
Orun yelled out a little too late with his warning as Dilya had already activated her ability.
Mammom'a body was trapped in a transparent rectangular shape. It was fitting for his body, not too big and not too tight.
With Dilya mentally controlling the box, it started squeezing itself in, taking up the space that was in it.
She had to stop the movement of the box when she heard Orun's voice requesting for her to halt her activity. Please visit ƒre𝐞𝘸𝑒𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍 𝐜𝑜m
"What is it".
Dilya asked, with her head faced to Mammon and her hand still stretched outward, ready to control the box when she sees fit.
"Whatever it is you are doing to him, as long as it involves using mana or any sort of energy, I need you to put an end to it now before it is too late".
Dilya's ability looked dangerous before the eyes of Orun. Trapping one's body in a box that gets smaller or bigger depending on what the user wants it to be.
That does not look or sound like an ability that one can easily escape from. Orun also had a feeling that getting bigger or smaller is not the only thing it is capable of doing.
If Mammon were to use his ability to absorb that ability and ends up releasing it at Orun and Dilya, the difficulty rate of getting out of it, at least by Orun's calculation shows that it is going to take a long time to accomplish.
With the questions saved for later, Dilya tried to disperse the box surrounding Mammon, but she couldn't. She had lost control over the activity of the box since the moment she thought it was a good idea to use it on Mammon.
"Hmm? I see".
Mammon proudly hummed as he had his hand on the box. When he touched it, what was forming the box was absorbed into his palm, until there was nothing left behind.
"What just happened".
Dilya saw the event that happened but could not quite make sense of what it was.
The effect of her ability was to keep Mammon locked in and have his body squeezed tight, diminishing his shape and form until only an atom of him remains.
She wasn't expecting her ability to kill Mammon, nor did she expect it to keep him locked up forever.
What she also did not account for, is Mammon easily breaking through her ability like it was nothing to him.
Without further ado, Orun grabbed Dilya's hand and made a run for it. Now that Mammon had copied the ability, no doubt he will be able to use it on them.
Orun has no plan on waiting behind for him to get an up-close experience of what it feels like to get trapped in a box that gets smaller until one is turned into a microscopic organism.
Especially if that box is going to be amplified by two times the force it was released in.
