Chapter 5 Moku Vs Goku
A group of orcs were walking hand in hand. They carried 2+ meter long logs on each their shoulders. These logs are 25-30 cm in diameter and can weigh up to 30-50 kg each.
The orcs seemed to be walking leisurely. Some of them even walked while whistling. They seemed not to feel the weight of the logs they were carrying.
A group of orcs came to greet them. They came from the direction of the tribal camp.
After greeting, they took out their axes from their backs and started chopping down trees. Each slash of the axes they swung made the 12 meter tall tree tremble.
On the fifth slash, the tree fell. The five orcs started cutting the tree into pieces.
Not long after that the tree trunk was cut off, each part 2+ meters long. The orcs put their axes back on their backs and began to carry tree trunks on their shoulders.
Then the group walked hand in hand towards the tribal camp. Their faces didn't look tired, as if they were doing an easy job. From afar they looked like a group of green ants at work.
Inside the tribal camp, a group of orcs seemed to be working on building something. They were hitting one side of the log with a rock until it stuck to the ground. They are making pegs from 2 meters of logs.
The wooden pegs are driven into the ground close to each other. Each stake is only 10 cm away from the other stakes. It looks like a circular fence with a diameter of 7+ meters.
It was the Palaka arena.
"Damn it! Moku are you sure about this?" Swa asked in a disbelieving voice.
Swa shakes Moku's shoulder to wake him up but he himself doesn't seem conscious. He was very confused about what his brother was thinking. He would never believe that Moku was really crazy.
"Moku think again, if it's a duel with weapons maybe you have a chance. But Palaka is a hand-to-hand fight!" Laya tried to advise with a worried face.
Laya is one of the orcs who believe in Moku's power. He had seen Moku fight with beasts using his stone knife. It was the most beautiful fight he had ever seen.
But in Palaka you are not allowed to carry weapons. He was very worried about his brother's safety and psyche.
If Moku can be patient for 1-2 more years, Laya is sure that Moku can beat Goku. But for now Moku is still very young and has a big body difference from Goku.
Moku smile and patted the shoulders of his two brothers. "I'll be fine"
Moku smiled seeing his two brothers who were so worried. Their relationship is indeed good, but Moku did not expect them to be so worried about his safety.
Moku started to undress. The clothes of orcs wore were still very primitive. They still use animal skins, linen, and wood fibers as basic materials.
As Laya said, Palaka is a hand-to-hand duel. Duelers are required to not carry any weapons and remove all their clothes and armor, they enter the arena wearing only their underwear.
This was done because Palaka was a sacred duel in orc culture. Dead orcs will be buried wearing only their underwear. Those who enter the Palaka arena must be considered dead by the rest of the tribe.
That way, whatever happens in the arena will remain in the arena. There would be no revenge from orcs outside the arena even if their blood relatives were killed in the arena.
Then the winner of Palaka will be entitled to get what he asked for. If the reason for Palaka is the title 'Ku' which means the strongest orc then the winner of Palaka will get the title 'Ku' and become the chief of the tribe.
The result of Palaka is absolute and cannot be changed.
The fight will stop if one of the participants is killed, becomes unconscious, or surrenders.
Moku started walking to the arena, he saw the orcs crowding in front of Goku.
Moku walk slowly. He puffed out his chest, his steps were firm and his back was straight.
The orc crowd saw Moku coming bravely, they moved to open the way, and they smiled bitterly.
'Perhaps this is the fastest Palaka fight in orc history' was what they thought when they saw Moku.
But Moku didn't flinch, he kept walking until he arrived in front of Goku.
Goku narrowed his eyes when he saw Moku and started to open his mouth "Are you sure about this, Moku?" He asked a second time.
Unlike the other orcs, Goku had realized that Moku was no ordinary young Orc. His hunting abilities and large body make Goku amazed by Moku's growth.
As a tribal chief and especially as a 'Ku', Goku had his eye on the orcs that could become his rivals. Moku was one of the orcs he thought would become very strong in the future, but not now.
He has the same thoughts as Laya, if in 1 or 2 years maybe Moku will give him a fierce fight. But for now, Moku is just a young orc who is still weak to Goku.
'Has lust clouded his mind?' Goku asked in his heart.
"Ku, you better be serious from the start. Otherwise this fight will end with you lying staring at the sky!" Moku replied defiantly.
"heh! Don't hate me if you die!" Goku threaten.
Goku turned around, jumped over the fence and then walked leisurely to the center of the arena.
"The same to you too!" Moku replied.
He also jumped and walked to the center of the arena. Moku and Goku stand 5 meters apart.
Moku remembered his debut fight in the MMA world. He again remembered how much he loved fighting.
Maybe God revived him as an orc because he knew that Moku's hobby was fighting. Moku smiled and thanked him.
Moku closed his eyes, inhaled, and exhaled through his mouth.
There is no jury at Palaka. There is no referee to regulate when the match starts. The fight starts when one of the fighters attacks.
Moku put his stance, he spread his legs shoulder-width apart with his right foot behind his left.
Orcs were fearless monsters, with their strong bodies and the ability to regenerate, allowing them to lunge at enemies without fear of getting hurt.
The orcs that attacked with speed and power were like cavalry charging in. They look scary, but they can be destroyed easily.
They can be destroyed with a spear formation. An army of very fast horses would find it difficult to suddenly stop and end up on the spearhead of ordinary soldiers.
Moku will finish this match with five moves.
First move, bait.
Moku bent his body forward like he wanted to lunge.
Goku who saw Moku attack, charged forward. His hands were raised to chest level with a bent body. It's a tackle move
His two strong thigh muscles propelled his body like a jet rocket. The ground that was became his footing cracked due to the pressure that Goku's feet gave
The entire orc audience cheered. Swa and Laya clenched their fists tightly, hoping that Moku would come out alive.
Moku smiled, he quickly regained his stance. The first move is complete.
The second move, dealt the strongest blow in the world.
Moku stared at his target. At that time Moku was so concentrated that everything looked like slow motion.
This is not an illusion, but indeed one of the wonders of the brain. When the brain speeds up the entry of information, the movement around the body seems to be slowed down.
Moku bends his knees so he can spin towards the target with ease and pulls his fists back into position.
Concentrating his energy on the waist loop makes his right leg bend and the left leg supports the weight of the whole body.
The ground where his left foot rested cracked, but before that energy was lost Moku used all his strength to throw a fist straight ahead.
This fist is like a whip. The punch power from the waist continues to rise to the end of the fist. The strength of the large waist focuses on one tiny dot.
Those tiny dot are Goku's eyes.
BAM!!
"AAAAKKKHHHH!!!!" Goku screamed in pain.
His weight coupled with his speed made Goku like an army of horses hitting a spear formation. The fist caused Goku to stop and groan in pain.
Goku holds his face and Blood comes out from between his fingers. That blow resulted in injury or at worst the destruction of his eyeball.
"AAAAKKHHHH!!"
Goku's screams covered the crowd's cheers making them speechless.
Their mouths agape.
Swa and Laya gaped.
The second move is complete.
Although Goku's scream sounded very painful, Moku knew that the wound would not make Goku give up.
The bleeding on the orc's body only lasted for a few tens of seconds, even though the wound that caused the bleeding had not closed. Their wounds will close in a matter of minutes depending on how big the wound is.
ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ
The orc's body seemed indestructible. Even an injured eyeball would still recover to its original state in thirty minutes. Moku knows this because he has experienced it.
After discovering orc regeneration eliminates all the risks of excess exercise, Moku becomes addicted to discovering other miracles within the orc body.
He wanted to know if the orc's body regeneration ability could regenerate lost or damaged organs. To facilitate his research, Moku chooses external organs or organs that he can see directly.
Moku starts with ears, nose, fingers, and toes. The result is the growth of organs takes a long time, it can take one day to a week.
Then what if the organ didn't have to be reshaped, but the old organ that was cut off was reattached, how long would it take for the orc's regenerating ability to restore it?
Moku started cutting his fingers and reattaching them. Moku becomes a crazy orc who not only likes to make strange movements until he faints but also likes to chop himself up.
But Moku didn't care and the results he found were very satisfying. The old organs being reattached will make recovery faster.
Recovery time depends on how big the reattached organ is. Moku wanted to cut off his hands or feet but he didn't want to feel paralyzed a second time.
He wanted to cut off the hands, feet, or heads of other orcs and reattach them again, but he was afraid of being attacked by all the orcs in the tribe. Because of that Moku stopped his research on external organs.
Moku wants to start research on internal organs, but he is confused about how to do it. Moku is not a biological scientist, he has no medical knowledge but only martial arts knowledge about the human body.
So Moku decided to try another organ, namely the eye or his eye. Moku took a knife and stabbed his left eye.
The pain that Moku felt made him groan loudly. The eyes are located close to the brain, so the nerves in the eyes are more sensitive than the nerves in other body parts.
Moku's roar of pain was heard throughout the camp. Moku's roar made the orcs' hairs stand on end, they started running away from that crazy young orc.
Only Swa and Laya came to Moku worriedly. They had almost given up on this crazy brother of theirs.
But once again Moku was satisfied with the results of his research. He discovered that the orcs could restore their eyes in just 30 minutes and could see again even with blurred vision in 20 minutes.
Moku was only 6 years old at that time, his body was immature so his regeneration ability was not yet at its peak. Unlike Goku who is an adult orc. Chances are Goku can see again in 15 minutes.
Because of that Moku didn't stop and continued his attack.
Third Move, Calf Kick.
A calf kick is essentially a low roundhouse kick or low shin kick that targets an opponent's calf. The martial artist attempting a calf kick will generally strike the target with their lower shin or the instep of the foot.
This simple attack is deadly because even a professional martial artist cannot see this low kick.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
With his injured right eye giving a blind spot to Goku's vision. Moku spins around looking for position while continuing to use calf kicks at every opportunity.
The target is Goku's right knee. Goku doesn't just stand still, he goes on a rampage and attacks blindly.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
But with his one-sided eyesight, Goku's attacks are easily dodged. Moku kicks after kicks at Goku's knees.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Moku felt like kicking an iron pole.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Uhg!!"
Goku's right leg was shaking, causing him to stop moving once again. His legs were numb. Goku can only stand still and put his weight on his left leg.
The third move is complete.
Moku enters Goku's range. From the start of the fight, Moku kept his distance from Goku, Goku's wider attack range made it difficult for him to launch attacks from close range. But with his paralyzed right leg, the current Goku would become his punching bag.
Fourth move, Boxing.
Seeing Moku approaching, Goku attacked with a wide punch from the side.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Duck—Right hook—Left hook—Right hook.
Moku manages to launch 3 Hook to Goku's ribs while dodging his attacks.
Goku's steel-hard body didn't budge from that blow. Goku attacks brutally with his huge fists.
Although Goku's attacks are very fast, but Moku can read the direction of the attack by looking at Goku's shoulders. Moku continues to cling to Goku, he seems to be dancing around his opponent.
The wind carried by Goku's punch almost sent him flying. This shows Goku's punch is very dangerous when it hits his body.
Moku deals 3-to-4 hits every time he dodges.
Goku hit straight, Moku dodged.
Hook—hook—hook—hook.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Goku hit from below, Moku dodged,
Hook—hook—hook.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Goku hit from the side, Moku dodged,
Hook—hook—hook—hook.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
The audience gaped at this unexpected match.
Swa's mouth was wide open until he was drooling. Swa wiped his saliva and woke up, he rubbed his eyes and looked at the match again.
He can see Moku, whose body is much smaller than Goku, launches blow after blow to Goku's big body. Swa's face turned red, he shout loudly.
"KICK HIS ASS MOKU!!!!!!"
With Swa's shout, the whole audience seemed to wake up and see the fight on the arena. After they were sure it wasn't an illusion, they shouted along.
"GOKU! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?"
"GOKU DON'T JUST STAND THERE!"
"KEEP DOING IT KID! YOU GOT THIS!"
"PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE!"
"GOKU MOVE YOUR FEET, YOU LIKE PUNCHING BAG THERE!"
"MOKU YOU CAN DO IT!"
"GOKU!"
"HIT HIM IN THE FACE! WHY ARE YOU ONLY GOING ON THE RIBS!?"
"MOKU!"
"GOKU!" "GOKU!" "GOKU!"
"MOKU!" "MOKU!" "MOKU!"
The orc crowd's cheers resounded.
Someone shouted at Goku to return the blow.
Someone shouted at Moku to stop hitting the ribs and aiming for the face.
Some argue about Moku's punch at the start of the fight.
Some feel Moku cheated when attacking with a calf kick.
The audience continued to cheer cheerfully. Until a loud sound came from the arena.
Craak!
The sound of bones breaking could be heard from Goku's right rib. Goku groaned in pain and grabbed his right stomach.
Moku doesn't waste the chance and strikes Goku's left rib with Hook after Hook. Until Goku's left rib was broken.
The fourth move is complete.
