Chapter 38 A Fight Without Word Of Retreat
At one end of the Great River branch.
A loud crashing sound echoed, shaking the damp marshland that should have absorbed the vibrations.
Small trees fell leaving large trees with black shadows dancing and moving quickly between them.
Birds flew in search of a safe haven from the damage and destruction caused by the battle of two individuals who possessed the power of a war cannon.
The insects stopped creaking and fell silent in fear at the dangerous aura emitting by the two individual, the masters of the food chain in this swamp.
Moku panted, his breath was rushed, due to forced concentration and body movement.
His body that was healed as usual again became covered in severe injuries.
His recovered strength was now starting to run low and he was exhausted.
Almost all effects caused by activating Bhimasuta Form are neutralized by Stugo's attack.
Even so he kept pumping his dragon prana to heal, protect, or shape the biofield.
Stugo's attack looked simple, he just jumped from tree to tree, then dived, and slammed his fist into the ground.
His mutated forearm will explode mana and cause a shockwave attack that could shatter human bones.
Supposedly with Moku's Padakarmarma speed he could dodge Stugo's straight attacks, but attack of this gorilla who he called stupid wasn't that simple.
Using the shockwave on his left hand placed behind his back, Stugo was able to change direction and accelerate his diving speed.
Make Stugo dived attack like a flight of Ironman.
Even so the shockwave attack also injures Stugo.
The shockwave attack formed a ball-like attack area that hit everything 5 meters around it, including Stugo's body.
So every time Stugo uses a shockwave attack, he is also affected by the shockwave.
Although Stugo's skeleton and body composition were able to reduce the effects of the injuries, he was still wounded by the attacks.
Seen from the blood that came out of his lips and ears. Stugo was nearly deaf from his own attack.
But he didn't stop to use this attack, which turned out to be effective in getting Moku into trouble.
Just like Moku, Stugo can't stop this life-and-death battle.
BUMM!!!
Moku was blown away by Stugo's shockwave attack again. He rolled on the ground before getting up and moving away from his position.
With his strong body and regenerating ability, Moku is still able to receive shockwaves from Stugo's fists but if it hits him directly then his body can be shattered into pieces.
Moku searches for Stugo with his six senses and founded Stugo is already back hanging on a tree branch.
Moku became frustrated because he couldn't counterattack at all, he could only run and dodge Stugo's attacks.
"Hey buddy, that shockwave attack of yours didn't work. That attack will only hurt yourself.
What if you come down and fight like warriors!! I promise I won't slam you again" Moku challenged.
Moku had previously tried to cut down the tall trees where Stugo was hanging, but the trunks of these trees were so hard and thick that it took him quite a while to chop them down.
Of course Stugo didn't let Moku just cut down the trees.
He attacked Moku who was off guard repeatedly.
Moku, who focused his energy and mind on cutting down trees, almost lost his life as a payment for his carelessness.
He gave up on cutting down trees and focused on avoiding Stugo's attacks.
Stugo ignored Moku's challenge and went back to swinging from tree to tree.
"Shit!! why this stupid gorilla so smart!" Moku grimaced.
Moku's current state is actually worse than it seems.
He had tried to speed up his regeneration ability with dragon prana, but the injuries he sustained were so severe that it took time to recover.
The use of the biofield for Padakacarma also depletes his dragon prana reserves. He didn't want to prolong this fight.
"Okay! You ask for this!!" Moku rages.
Moku flows his right hand with a biofield that strengthens the friction. A white mist shrouded his right hand and made everything even air seems unable to move.
His left hand is enveloped in a friction-relieving biofield. Everything slipped in his left hand even the air.
Then he put his hands together.
Two different energies meet and collide creating a phenomenon where the air is trapped in an endless loop.
The air flowed rapidly in his left hand then slowed down in his right. The friction force in his right hand made the air burn before slipping back into his left hand.
This is repeated and getting faster. All the air was absorbed between his hands and made the ground tremble.
Stugo swung faster and charged. His left hand that was behind his back exploded a shockwave and propelled his body forward like a rocket.
Moku released a vortex of air between his hands.
"[Brajadenta]!"
The burning vortex of wind formed the image of the head of a monstrous creature.
This creature's eyes protrude without eyebrows, its mouth is open to reveal two long and curved lower fangs, on both sides of its head there are large pointed ears, its forehead is wide like the protrusion of an egg.
This is the image of the head of kala, a terrible creature who invites anyone, even gods, to enter the circle of karma.
Kala is the true form of death.
Kala's head and Stugo's fists met, Stugo exploded the mana in his forearms and created a shockwave that was bigger than before.
BUUUUUUUOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!
He also knew that if Moku was about to unleash his ultimate power, Stugo responded to Moku's attack with the strongest shockwave attack he could unleash.
"AAAAHHHHHHH!!!" Moku roar.
"ROOOOAAAARRR!!!" Stugo roar.
Tall trees fell and the ground was lifted up.
The explosion of the energies of the two clashing individuals caused a hurricane that sent the water in the swamp uplifted into the sky.
The ground they were standing on cracked then shattered into dust.
The clouds in the sky were scattered and the shrouded sun seemed dim.
A few seconds later, the burst of energy subsided.
The water that was lifted into the sky came down again making it rain in the middle of the swamp.
The sun was setting and the air was getting colder.
In the middle of the swamp there is a large hole due to the collision of Stugo and Moku.
Not far from that place, you can see the scattered wood due to the fallen trees.
Moku pushed the wood that was pressing him with one hand.
His left hand was crushed and torn apart so that it could not be used.
Unsteadily Moku stood up, he bent down and coughed, blood spurting out of his mouth.
Moku looked ahead, the swamp shattered by the energy blast.
Nothing was left of the middle of the swamp, water came back down from the sky soaking the marshland which was black from the explosion.
Moku can't relax yet, he has to make sure if Stugo is dead or not.
With unsteady steps Moku walked over and employed his six senses.
Then, Moku's hunch was right, Stugo was still breathing and trying to get up.
Similar to Moku, Stugo pushed the large log that was crushing him.
He stood unsteadily, his right hand also crushed leaving only his upper arm.
Blood dripped from his shattered arm.
Moku and Stugo looked at each other.
They knew this battle was a life and death battle, neither of the two of them would back down.
The only way to end it is with one of them dead.
Moku took out the karambit from the songket that tie at his waist.
He held the karambit with his right hand which was still usable.
"hah.. hah.. hah.." Moku panted, the dragon prana in his body was very thin, this was the last attack he could do.
If Stugo is still alive after receiving this attack then Moku must immediately find a way to escape from the fight.
He would not be ashamed to admit defeat, while he was still alive there would be another day to avenge the defeat.
Stugo opened his mouth wide and started sucking in air rapidly. His chest was getting bigger and bigger.
Stugo will do a roar attack like he did before.
This attack was extremely dangerous, more dangerous than a shockwave fist.
Despite being able to dodge it, Stugo's previous roar attack almost made Moku's heart and lungs burst.
"[Padakacarma]!" Moku flows the biofield back into his feet. Take a stance then sped forward quickly.
There were no trees standing between him and Stugo, all of them were uprooted and flying from the energy blast.
Moku can lunge straight at Stugo.
Moku put his little finger into the ring in the karambit handle and flanked the karambit blade on his index and middle fingers.
Stugo finished sucking in air, closed his mouth, and cultivated the air inside his expanding chest.
The mana that had accumulated in his chest swirled rapidly and mixed in the air. The rounds are getting faster and faster.
The air around him felt frozen due to the concentration of energy that he did.
Moku arrived quickly in front of Stugo and jumped up. He drained the dragon prana from his feet to his left hand, then into the karambit.
"[Pringgadani: Claw of Golden Vulture]!"
Like Gatotkaca the master of Pringgadani, in this move, Moku will also be able to master the power of mutated animal organs.
By flowing dragon prana into its karambit made of golden vulture claws, Moku will be able to control the mana that is still stored in the claws and bring out the power of mutation from the claws.
The strength of the golden vulture's claws is that it extends up to three meters, with the durability and sharpness of the claws increasing many times.
Even so, the power that can be released cannot exceed the original power of the mutated animal's own organs.
So Moku doesn't want to use it in this battle, because golden vulture is just a silver tier danger mutated animal, while Stugo is a golden tier danger mutated animal.
He didn't know if the golden vulture claw could pierce Stugo's skin or not. But he had no other choice.
With only a small amount of dragon prana remaining, he could only use Pringgadani. Brajamusti and Brajadenta moves required too much dragon prana at this moment.
He could only hope that with Padakacarma's speed and the sharpness of the golden vulture claw, it could pierce Stugo's thick skin.
"ROOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!!!"
Stugo opened his mouth and let out a loud roar.
The roar created a ultrasonic wave that shook everything in its path, the vibrations so strong that leaves that fall and are hit will crumble to dust.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"
Moku swung his karambit.
The ultrasonic waves and the golden vulture claw collided.
The golden vulture claw shook violently and couldn't advance. Cracks began to appear everywhere and grew longer, the golden vulture claw would shatter.
Moku lose the gamble, golden vultures claw are unable to slash Stugo's ultrasonic wave attack.
He had to quickly retreat before the golden vulture claw were completely crushed and the ultrasonic waves blasted his body.
But Moku didn't want to back down, he didn't want to run away from reality anymore. He had evolved, he had trained to the point of vomiting blood, he had destroyed all five of his senses and nearly died.
Is Bhimasuta Form's ability only to this extent?
Is Pringgadani move only limited to this?
No..
No....
No...
No.....
No.......
No......
No.........
No......... f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦
No.............
"I'M THE STRONGEST!!!!!!"
Moku drained all of his dragon prana and made the golden vulture claw even longer.
With all his strength, Moku pushed the golden vulture claw and split the ultrasonic waves.
Then the golden vulture claw travel in the blink of eye and cut off Stuga's head.
Moku landed on his knees with his back to Stuga's headless body.
He stood up and deactivated his Bhimasuta Form. The white tribal tattoo began to slowly creep into the Bhimasuta Belt.
BOOM!! Stuga's head fell to the ground.
Moku took a deep breath. His body was exhausted and covered in internal and external wounds.
Moku approached Stuga's body, he had to restore his body's energy.
He has to eat.
Moku tore Stuga's flesh and bit it hard.
Stuga's flesh was tough but with the strength of the jaws and digestive system of the orc body, as well as Moku's evolved jaws, that wasn't a problem.
Moku kept eating and eating, he didn't realize how long he had been eating, he just followed his instinct to survive.
Somehow long later, Moku felt full and sat down.
He looked up at the sky which was already dark and filled with stars. 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚
Life is back in the swamp, the sound of insects creaking and flowing water fills the atmosphere.
Moku got up from his seat, he had to hurry back to the tribe before the other orcs and the girls got worried.
He thought of Anna who was pregnant with their first child.
Moku looked around him.
The tree that bears fruit like mangoes has fallen as a result of his fight with Stugo.
Moku didn't think he would succeed in being the victor of that fight.
Golden tier danger mutated animals are indeed very strong and dangerous.
He couldn't imagine how powerful a mutated animal would be at upper that level of danger.
