"long love the king of the Goblins, may his reign be eternal, and may he do away with your head". (first general).
The Goblin's reaction towards the out loud cry of the first general could be summed up as anger and admiration.
He felt angry hearing the harbinger of his suffering coming out of the first general's mouth, and he felt admiration towards the first general who with his last breath, showed his loyalty till the end.
The Goblin wondered, will there ever come a time when he will be just as needed and admired by someone else like the Goblin king was?....
"it's no use having such thoughts when there are more important matters to attend to".
'Oracle'.
[yes master].
'from the performance of the four Goblin generals in battle, can you deduce what my chances will be if I face off against the Goblin king in my current form'.
[based on the observation of watching master's fight against the four Generals, I have come to a conclusion that master will surely have the toughest time going up against the Goblin king].
'and the end result...'
[master should be prepared to lose more limbs, or incure injuries that will take a long time before it heals].
ƥαṇdα-ηθνε|·ƈθm [when it's all done, master will become vulnerable to any unexpected threat that might surface].
'so you are saying, that I will win the battle but lose the war?..., is that it'.
[yes it is, master].
"sigh..."
He sighed out deeply as he stared deep into the empty space, contemplating his choices.
The Goblin's wants is actually to postpone a face off with the Goblin king, at least until he has gotten strong enough to not leave himself defenseless after the fight.
But, he knows very well what sort of place this is.
He as an half spiritual entity can no longer get stronger by leveling up, but the same cannot be said for the Goblin king.
The Goblin king has access to becoming even stronger than his current self by killing stronger monsters and leveling up, but the Goblin....,
The Goblin's physique is no longer set in the form of growing stronger through the level up process.
'Oracle, as an half spiritual lifeform, do you know of a way for me to becoming stronger. Like how others level up to get stronger'.
[master's only way of getting stronger is through evolution, and evolution in master's current form can only be attained with a lot of energy].
[the energy gotten will in turn be used in the reconstruction and further enhancement of master's body into achieving evolution].
'what about this?, if I kill a monster, can I not just absorb whatever energy they have, and continue accumulating it until I have enough to evolve'.
'or do monsters not have energy within them....'
[monsters do have energy, and it is an idea that is already being implemented].
[for every monster master has killed after ascending to an half spiritual entity, Oracle has made sure to store the energy coming off of the monsters].
'great, so that means if I keep up with the killing, I will be able to evolve in no time'.
[negative master].
'..., why.....'
[master is an half spiritual entity wanting to evolve to an higher realm, the amount of energy needed to accomplish that requires times two of the energy used in evolving master to an half spiritual rank].
'if I continue accumulating the energy as I currently am, exactly how long will it take for me to evolve'.
[going by the present energy assimilation rate, master's next evolution is set to be triggered in the next three hundred and twenty-four years or more].
'...?'
'say what?....'
[is that another one of master's rhetoric question to signify your exclamatory remark].
'yes..., yes it is, thanks for pointing that out'.
'now, about the evolving only after three hundred and twenty-four years pass'.
[no master, I said three hundred and twenty-four years or more. It could be three hundred and twenty-four years or extended even more].
'yeah about that, will I not have grown old and weary by the time I reach the seventy year mark?, much less getting to three hundred and twenty-four years, which I must say, sounds cool but at the same time scary'.
[no, master will not. An average Goblin's Lifespan is two times the Lifespan of humans].
[master being a goblin, and an half spiritual lifeform now has a Lifespan extension of a thousand].
'a thousand?....., you are telling me I am going to age up to a thousand?..., a thousand?.., as in thousand?.....'
'not hundred, not five hundred, but a thousand....., like, seriously'.
[yes master, a thousand].
'how many of a human's generation will I have to live through to survive being alive for a thousand years?....'
'a thousand years, a thousand years?. I am going to live long enough to have close to or if not more than ten greats added to my title....., cool'.
'hmm..., three hundred years or so more before I can evolve equates to almost half of my entire Lifespan'.
'Oracle, what if after three hundred years have gone by, and I manage to evolve, will my Lifespan get extended as well'.
[yes it will master].
'hmm....., that doesn't sound too bad'.
'bidding my confrontation with the Goblin king until after I evolve in three hundred years time does not sound too bad, If I must say, it is an extremely tempting offer for me'.
'but....., life doesn't work that way'.
'i am getting stronger doesn't mean my enemies are getting weaker'.
'just as how hundreds of years is enough for me to trigger an evolution, it is also enough time for the Goblin king to come into contact with an anomaly that will boost his strength'.
'just as I became more powerful after absorbing the energy of the Fire guardian, what is to say that there isn't any more tomb laying dormant under this massive space, waiting to be unleashed?'.
'there is a possibility that the Goblin king in search of power might run into something like that and end up becoming even deadlier than he already is'.
'the world is unpredictable, with the time waiting for no one'.
'this, is my chance to strike. A chance where there is still an assurance of coming out with an incomplete body form, but still alive. Besides, I promised myself to never run away from my fears ever again'.
'i have to buckle up and own up to whatever comes my way'.
'Oracle, is Tarja going to be safe while I go down the floors, I can't possibly take it to go fight the king'.
[she should be master. I placed her close to the fire guardian's gate that is not so easy to find].
'great, I will come back for her when I am done'.
