Chapter 95 The Battle Of God
The wind was blowing hard, swirling around Deak's body. The mana in the air seemed to be welcoming the new ruler. They cheered and prostrated under his feet. Deak's body was lifted, not because he jumped, not because he used a spell, but because the mana that rejoiced at the ruler's presence held him high.
Thousands of root fibers slithered out from the ground. The arid forest due to landslides began to be filled with rapidly creeping plants. They slowly and carefully crawled over Deak's legs as if afraid to hurt him or maybe they just didn't feel right to touch his skin.
Starting from his toes, they crawled up to Deak's calves, covering his body layer by layer with their roots.
It didn't stop there, the roots also crawled Deak's body up to the top of his head. Creates an armor that covers Deak's entire body without any gaps other than his eyes, but when Deak closes his eyes, Moku sees that Deak's eyelids are also covered by roots.
Moku didn't understand, what was the difference between this spell and the Wood Armor spell that level 1 constellation mages used. Why absorb so much mana? Moku felt he could break through Deak's defense with one hit. Moku doesn't understand.
"Confused?" Deak smiled. When his mouth opened Moku saw that his teeth, tongue, and all the space in his mouth were also covered by roots.
"I don't understand. Why are you covering your body with roots? I can break through your defenses with one hit!" Moku snorted, he felt disappointed, Moku was waiting for a fight with someone who has the power of Mana God.
"Hahaha... What's on your mind? Did you really think that you can kill me in one hit? Hahahaha..." Deak shook his head while laughing like he heard the funniest joke ever "I know if you have the ability to see mana, what do you see through that ability of yours?" Deak asked curiously.
"I saw your body was covered in mana. Just like before—" Moku let out a disappointed sigh but quickly that turned into shock "don't tell me!!" Moku gaped in disbelief.
Deak laughed cheerfully "Hahahaha... Now you know. It's not my mana you see, but Wood mana. From now every plant that has Wood mana will bow down to me!" Deak opened his arms wide. His arrogance and self-confidence skyrocketed rapidly.
Moku re-mounted his stance, he knew that this fight would finally start.
Deak smiled and then snapped his fingers, tk.. a small ticking sound broke the silence between them. Then...
Countless giant roots sprouted from the ground. With their sharp and strong root tips, they push their way out of the hard rocks in the ground. They are like birds that have been released from their cages flying through the sky praising their freedom. Satisfied with that, they propagated at a speed that was incompatible with their gigantic bodies. Surrounds Deak as the center. They enveloped him faster and faster until Deak's body was no longer visible. Then like a fetus that becomes a baby, they divide into 4 parts, 4 parts divided into 8, 8 parts divided into 16, and so on. Until it is formed from the stomach to the head complete with all the organs. They formed a form similar to the upper half human body, but the difference was that the creature had countless hands forming a form worthy of being called a god. God of Wood.
The wood god opened his giant eyes, they show an expression usually manifest by humans, "Now we can fight!" Deak's voice boomed indicating the real battle will be started.
A gigantic palm drops heavily on where Moku stands, like the Buddha palm burying the monkey king. Moku jumped away but dozens of other gigantic palms followed behind him. Moku jumps from one air step to another, he moves so fast that it can't be followed by the eyes but hundreds of gigantic palms follow him from behind. Moku is like a fighter jet trying to avoid a hail of tactical missiles.
But there is something strange, Moku shouldn't have to dodge them, he just changes his body into mind being and all Deak's attacks will be useless. But Deak managed to find the weakness of Moku's mind body.
"Hahahaha what happen KuMoku. Why you don't stand still and let me hit you anymore? Why Dodge it? Hahahaha... I already know your weakness!! Thanks to my death student, I know you can be harmed if the attack is from pure mana. That's why you need to dodge Gojo's fire sword right? I know it's not because you want to play with him. Hahahaha... Now let's see how you dodged this thousand mana-coated palm!! Hahaha" Deak's laugh that was full of ridicule resounded.
'Shit this guy is so smart!' Moku cursed inside his heart.
"Oh yeah?? Then how long you can hold that much expenditure of mana? You need to use much mana for this attack right!! I just need to wait until you run low on mana and then I will beat you to a pulp!" Moku doesn't want to lose the psychological battle.
"Not really.. like I said before level 4 constellation mage can mix their mana with mana in nature. So this attacks not from my own mana but nature mana. I will not run low on mana in this form but maybe you will run low energy first! Hahahaha" Deak scoffed.
Deak lied a little, the mana used in this form is not too much but even though Deak is a Mana Child he is still a newbie level 4 constellation mage so he has no experience controlling his God form. To stay in this form, Deak must use full concentration which forces his brain to work harder.
'Fuck this guy is so annoying!' Moku cursed in his heart again.
While continuing to jump and dodging the wood god palm attack Moku puts both his hands forward and gathers a whirlwind. The colliding air creates friction that causes fire. The vortex got bigger and bigger until it pulled all the air 10 kilometers into it. Countless Kala heads sank and floated within the vortex. Moku directs the vortex towards the wood god "[Brajadenta: Rocket Artillery]!"
Thousands of Kala's heads came out of the vortex, their silent roar indicated the destruction they will bring. Hundreds of giant hands glided to welcome them.
Kala's head and the palm of the wood god finally collided.
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
Deak used all his concentration to turn the wood into the hand of the wood god.
"AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!"
Moku drains all of his dragon prana reserves to keep Kala's head out of the vortex.
"GRAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!"
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
Deak's concentration is getting less and less, his head is starting to dizzy and his eyes are getting blurry. Blood dripped from Deak's nostrils.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!"
Dragon prana reserves are running low, Moku uses the nutrients in his body to become dragon prana. His body becomes thinner and thinner.
"GRRAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!"
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
Moku's body is getting thinner so that it looks like a bone covered with skin. If Moku continues to drain the energy inside his body then his heart might stop beating or in the worst case, the dragon prana reserve will run low then he will end up being sterile, after that it will be a big question if the three 'Ne' will still want to be his wife.
However, before Moku depleted his nutrients or used up his dragon prana reserves, fate said otherwise. Deak who was already dripping blood from his nose suddenly dazed and lost concentration. As a result, Kala's head managed to destroy all the hands of the wood god and bombard his body. Deak's defense is open.
Moku didn't waste the opportunity and charged forward swiftly. His hands which were already wrapped in blue flames penetrated the fine roots that protected Deak's body. Moku's fist pierced his chest and shattered Deak's heart.
"It looks like this battle is my win" with a gasping breath Moku said.
Blood spurted out of Deak's mouth, he still had consciousness, the mana in his roots and body allowed Deak to survive for a while. Even so, it will only help for a few seconds.
With droopy eyes and a bloody mouth, Deak said "Win? do you think you've won?" Deak gasps for his words "My death will only make you a fugitive for other humans! My Teacher, the strongest human alive will hunt you and your tribe!! Military Academy, the biggest mage institution in the world will hunt you and your tribe!!! Human, Warbeast, and Elf, will hunt you and your tribe!!!! They will never stop until they find everything you conceal inside your body. Orc will be hunted until extinct. and you.. You.. can't do anything about it. Did you think you really won?" Deak smiles.
Moku just kept quiet and waited for Desk to finish speaking, then he smiled, "You never really understand us, do you?
We are a fighter race! We were born to fight! We wake to fight! We eat to fight! We train to fight! We fuck to fight! We will die in battle! and That's our fucking destiny!!
With your death, we will no longer be afraid of mages. With your death, the monsters will no longer be afraid of mana species. Know that your death is very precious to us and we will not waste it."
Moku pulled his hand from Deak's chest. Blood spurted out and Deak breathed his last.
