BXBX NOVEL Chapter 82 Moku's Arrogance
Deak grimaced, that explosion was very dangerous even for him. If he didn\'t act quickly and used [Wood Wall] to reduce the area of the explosion then one of his students would surely have died.
"Teacher, what the hell is that?" one of his students asked warily with a grim-faced. The hem of his military academy uniform was burned and some scratches were visible on his cheeks from the flying debris.
"I don\'t know. But it\'s definitely not mana power. I didn\'t see the mana in the vortex that formed in his hand but the air seemed to gather and collide with each other to create an explosion" Deak tried to answer by analyzing what he saw. "Whatever it is we have to be careful. This is an ability we\'ve never seen before. Watch out! He\'s coming!"
Moku landed exactly 10 meters in front of Deak and his two students. Moku patted his dusty clothes before smiling and greeting them in a friendly manner "Hello! I\'m sorry for the explosion earlier but I have to do it because you guys are approaching our territory"
Moku never thought that they would be divided into two groups as soon as danger came. They don\'t seem to be from the same group. Bon and Jon seem to be just slave traders who paid to be their guides.
"Then what is the purpose of you coming to our territory?" Moku asked and folded his arms.
Right now he was trying to waste time and wait for the orcs to arrive. If the goblins only face one mage then they can still survive with their traps and weapons, but if they have to face Bon and Jon at the same time then the number of casualties on the goblin side will be huge.
Because of that, Moku didn\'t show any other aggression after the explosion of Kala\'s head. He believed that if the three mages in front of him didn\'t attack then Bon and Jon wouldn\'t attack either. They had too little trust in these three military academy mages so they didn\'t want to be used as cannon fodders to fight Moku.
Deak glanced at his two students who were also dumbfounded. They didn\'t expect Moku to come not to attack but to bring a smile and a very reasonable question.
If seen from another point of view then the fault lies with Deak and his group. They had entered Moku\'s territory without his permission. So it could be assumed that these five mages who possessed the power of mass destruction had bad intentions toward him and his territory.
Moku\'s attack just now was just a warning to Deak and his group who had entered his territory without permission. Deak could only accept the fact that his two disciples almost died because they entered someone else\'s territory without permission. If only Deak didn\'t remember his teacher\'s orders then he wouldn\'t want to make small talk with Moku.
He was assigned to the Bog forest not to fight but to investigate what caused the mana explosion on June 19. If the cause is due to the birth of a new mana species then Deak is required to only investigate from a distance and not antagonize the new mana species.
However, it seems that the real cause of the mana explosion was because of this green man in front of Deak, his gut feeling said so. Mana explosions came from evolving monsters not the birth of new mana species. Even so, Deak had to confirm it first, in the absence of aggression from Moku then they should be able to talk casually.
"Forgive our unannounced arrival, my name is Deak Oliver or you can just call me Deak. We want to investigate something and this is on the orders of Stent Gaht, the strongest human. I hope you don\'t get in our way!" Deak isn\'t condescending at all even when he\'s apologizing.
Moku narrowed his eyes, he felt one of Deak\'s students activate his mana "My name is KuMoku and what are you guys investigating?" Moku used his inner eye and saw the mana covering the head of one of Deak\'s students spinning like he was recording something.
"This is a secret mission! I hope you don\'t get in our way, you don\'t want to cause a fight with us do you? Since it seems that there are only you in your tribe, am I right?" Deak try to bait Moku.
Previously they had felt a horde of monsters blocking them but when they came, they only saw that there was only Moku standing on a tree branch. So Deak concludes that only Moku, the monster has managed to evolve.
Moku\'s brow furrowed. He knew that if Deak found out that only one monster had managed to evolve then he would either put all his strength into killing Moku or flee from this place and report it to the human higher-ups.
Both of these are bad, because if Deak attacks then Moku can\'t buy any more time, and if Deak wants to run away then Moku is forced to attack.
"HAHAHAHA!!! You humans are so arrogant with the view that you are the strongest! Why don\'t you think that I came alone just because I wanted to show good faith?" Moku replied.
Moku saw the mana vortex that was in the brain of one of Deak\'s students slowly coming out and forming a mana clump on top of his head.
Deak smiled, his guess was right, only Moku the monster that managed to evolve. Deak believes the other monsters are just ordinary monsters that are easy to find in this forest. So that if he kills Moku then the threat will be resolved.
Deak could only sigh deeply in his heart thinking about the Gurru Committee who didn\'t want to do anything when the real threat was just an evolved monster. If only they had immediately investigated the Bog forest then the problems with the elves and the problems at the Beast Kingdom\'s borders would not have dragged on.
Now, Deak just needs to determine what kind of monster Moku used to be. If he knows the Moku monster race, then it\'s good to do extermination for the monster race so that none of them can evolve and have the power like Moku.
"Hahaha, you\'re right KuMoku, we\'re a bit presumptuous. Well, I\'ll tell you, our goal here is to find three slaves who escaped from our stupid slave trader" Deak lied and pointed at Bon and Jon who were still hiding under the mound of earth.
Moku is confused, he knows that Deak is lying but he doesn\'t understand why he said this "Then?"
"Have you seen them? Some of our customers really want them to be used as new toys. Especially the white-haired one, that slave will definitely be very liked by our customers because of his haughty attitude. The last time, they seem running into your territory" Deak smiled sarcastically.
When he heard white hair, Moku suddenly thought of Nevare\'s white hair which was now longer than the first time he see her. He became furious with a cynical smile Deak "The girls are under my care and I have given them to my people. It\'s not my fault why your slave trader was negligent in taking care of them!"
Through his inner eye, the wisp of mana above the head of one of Deak\'s students grew bigger and the mana vortex inside his head continued to record.
Deak smiled cheerfully "I never said they were three girls" Bon tells that Jon had chased the girl until he was blocked by a swarm of goblins, so Deak initially thought that Moku was a goblin. But after hearing his words Deak confirmed that Moku was an evolution of an orc.
Only orcs of all the existing monster races liked human women. "I didn\'t think that there were orcs who survived the extermination of your race 10 years ago. The tenacity of orcs is indeed worthy of admiration" Deak said with a smile.
\'Shit!! this guy is so smart\' Moku moaned in his heart.
He never thought that his identity would be known by Deak just based on a few words. Moku has tried his best to make his words vague and not too much information in it but it looks like it\'s backfiring him.
Moku remembered what Datuak Sri Maharajo said about gathering information "Short answers or long answers are the same because it is still an answer".
Even so, Moku still tried to buy time "How can you be sure that I am an orc? You better not make this up and equate me with a perverted race— [Brajamusti: Bullet]!"
BOOM!!
Moku shot a wisp of mana that had been severed from the head of one of Deak\'s students after he heard him whisper [Message]. Moku didn\'t know what the message contained but he knew if anything in it would be a danger to the future of the entire monster species.
They are not ready to be known by the public, if mana species knows there are orcs capable of evolving to be as strong as mages and the possibility of such evolution exists to all the monster race, Mana species, especially humans, will carry out massive extermination of monster species.
Deak prepares his spell when he sees Moku raise his hand quickly. But right at that moment, he heard a small voice from the student behind him "[Message]" then the blue bullet that shot from Moku\'s palm hit the air above the student\'s head and exploded.
Deak could have parried Moku\'s blue bullet but he didn\'t because he knew that Moku was only aiming for the mana wisp on top of his student\'s head.
Deak didn\'t feel the mana lump because he focused all his concentration on Moku in front of him.
After the mana wisp was destroyed Deak shifted to the side with his front body still facing Moku and looked at his student fiercely "Sean! What the fuck are you doing?! Who told you to use the [Message] spell and who would you send that message to? " Deak thinks that Sean is a traitor that was sent by the Gurru Committee to follow him.
"I\'m sorry teacher but it was an order from Grandmaster to send him a message after finding the cause of the mana explosion because grand master knows that you will immediately fight without thinking" Seeing Deak staring fiercely at him, Sean immediately leaked the secret.
"Teacher Gaht!!! What the fuck? does Teacher think I\'m still a hot-blooded young boy?" Deak does not accept.
"Well.. after this, Teacher will attack, right? Isn\'t it Gojo?" Sean asked another Deak student next to him for help.
"That\'s right, Teacher. You\'ve got all the information from this evolve orc, so now you just have to kill him and all the orc races right?" Gojo nodded.
"uuuuhhh.." Deak didn\'t know what to say, he already got all the information he wanted from Moku. Deak doesn\'t care how Moku evolves. He just needed to kill him and all the orc races then the problem would be solved.
Moku was wide-eyed. Moku realized that they had never seen Moku as a threat. Deak invites Moku to talk only because he wants to gather information.
After Moku answered all his questions, he would kill Moku and all the orcs like a tiger want to kill a mouse.
His success in bringing together the monster race blinds Moku with such arrogance that he doesn\'t realize he is being taken advantage of.
Moku knows that his usefulness to Deak is up. Now Deak will attack Moku completely after that he will exterminate the orcs.
Moku can only take a deep breath and accept that he has become arrogant which makes him stupid. With annoyance in his heart, Moku lunged with the intention of killing them all.
\'I\'m sorry Volx, but you have to hold on until the orcs come\' Moku said in his heart.
