Vakgar has the second largest body after Goku. The left canine is longer than the right. He only wore pants made of animal fur and there were long burn marks on his chest.

 

Vakgar stood up and walked forward, his face even more confused with what Moku wanted.

 

"Vakgar give me your strongest blow!" Moku's orders.

 

"Huh?" Vakgar is getting confused.

 

"Just punch me! Are you afraid?" Moku smirked sarcastically.

 

"Tsk! don't blame me if you get hurt" replied Vakgar angrily.

 

"Yaaahkk!" Vakgar hits with his right hand. The fist shot quickly towards Moku's forehead.

 

Moku smiled, shifted his shoulder, wrapped Vakgar's fist with Songket, turned around, grabbed both ends of Songket with both hands, and slammed Vakgar to the ground.

 

BUMM!!

 

Vakgar's massive body slammed heavily onto the ground, the air from his lungs jolted out of his mouth. His spine nearly cracked when he hit the hard ground.

 

Moku isn't finished yet. With Vakgar's wrists still tied, Moku turned his body onto his stomach, released Songket from Vakgar's wrists, wrapped around Vakgar's neck and pulled both ends of Songket tightly.

 

Uugghh!

 

Vakgar was suffocating, he tried to release Songket which was tightly wrapped around his neck, but the knot was so strong. He tried to turn his body, but Moku's weight held him from above.

 

When Vakgar was almost out of breath, Moku loosened his coils.

 

"haaaah hah hah hah" Vakgar was able to catch his breath again.

 

"That's one way of using Songket, another way like—" Moku spoke while helping Vakgar to his feet.

 

After Vakgar stood up, Moku backed away, and flicked one end of Songket, when it was about to hit Vakgar's face Moku quickly pulled the end he was holding.

 

The tip of Songket lunged like a whip and hit Vakgar's face.

 

BUUM!

 

Vakgar felt like he was hit hard on the face. Vakgar's body was thrown backwards.

 

"—that!" Moku finished his speech.

 

"Any question?" Moku turned around and asked.

 

Bam!

 

Vakgar's body landed on the ground, his nose broken and bleeding.

 

The Orcs' mouths fell open, their eyes wide.

 

'Damn! that thing was dangerous' they said to themselves.

 

Seeing no one asked, Moku continued his explanation.

 

"The next weapon is this little curved knife"

 

Moku took out a small knife from his pants. The knife was made of animal claws glued to wood as the handle. The hilt of the knife has a hole for finger insertion.

 

"This knife is called Karambit. It can be used to stab and tear the opponent's body. Anyone want to come forward for a demonstration?"

 

The orcs gulped. They glanced at Vakgar who was still sitting unsteadily. They knew that the weapons Moku was carrying only looked harmless on the outside.

 

"I want to try" Viggu raised his hand.

 

"Good! come forward" Moku instructions.

 

Viggu walked slowly with nervous steps. He wasn't afraid of fights, he was just afraid of fights he could never predict.

 

He felt like he was walking in the middle of the night in the forest, even if there were no ghosts or beasts, he would still be frightened just by hearing the sound of branches snapping.

 

Viggu arrived in front of Moku.

 

"The karambit is a fast small weapon, so this knife is used as a secret weapon—" Moku explained, tying Songket around his waist, and tucking the karambit inside.

 

"Krambit is used to carry out surprise attacks that are unknown to the enemy-" Moku explained and asked Viggu to hit him.

 

Viggu didn't ask anything and immediately launched his strongest punch.

 

Similar to Vakgar, Moku only moved his shoulder to avoid Viggu's punch, held his hand by the wrist, took out karambit, and slashed Viggu's neck.

 

"Every attack from Karambit is the enemy's last breath" Moku spoke in an flat voice.

 

Viggu knelt down and held his bloodied neck.

 

Moku came closer and pressed hard against the artery in Viggu's neck. When the blood starts to stop, Moku starts stitching up Viggu's wound.

 

The orcs' eyes widened.

 

Viggu is not a weak orc, in a one-on-one battle Viggu can win over Vakgar.

 

However Moku injures his neck with just one strike.

 

"From these two weapons did you notice anything?" Moku asked.

 

"These two weapons are dangerous" Swa raised his hand and replied like a diligent school student.

 

Moku glanced at his brother who was saying obvious things, "Anything else?" Moku asked again. Swa just looked down embarrassed and scratched the back of his head.

 

"Both weapons are invisible or unexpected by the enemy" the clever Mige replied.

 

"That's right, these two weapons cannot be predicted by the enemy. Even though they have melee attacks, their uniqueness can make us approach the enemy without making them wary" Moku explained.

 

"Mages have powers that we can't imagine. We can't predict what spells they will cast, for that we must be able to approach the enemy without their knowledge.

 

Both of these weapons you must have and learn. I will give each of you a Songket cloth, but for the kerambit you have to collect the materials and make it yourself."

 

After that Moku explained the other silat weapons.

 

Like Galah, a stick-shaped weapon made of steel, wood or bamboo.

 

Gada or Mace, A blunt weapon made of steel or hard wood, such as a bat that has thorns and spikes around its sides.

 

Stick or Toya, a stick weapon with an adjustable length made of rattan.

 

Spears, sticks made of bamboo, steel and wood sometimes have feathers around the tip close to the cutting edge of the blade.

 

Moku doesn't know if this is fate or just a coincidence, Bog forest has almost the same plant species as the tropical forest in his hometown.

 

Like the rattan plant that thrives and climbs the trees in the Bog forest.

 

Rattan in the Bog forest has a diameter of 5-10 cm, making it a suitable base material for making spears and toyas for the orc's large body.

 

There are still other weapons commonly used in martial arts such as keris, cleaver, machete, sickle, and rencong. But the main ingredient is iron, Moku knows how to make it but he can't make it.

 

Just like you know palm sugar is made from sugar cane, but you don't know how to turn sugar cane into sugar.

 

 

 

 

 

Tagak

 

 

"--and that's how to use martial arts weapons, any questions?" Moku asked with a straight face.

 

He spun his spear then plunged it into the ground. Moku stepped closer to Xago who was bleeding and was torn in the stomach.

 

Xago's face paled as he continued to press his stomach, his intestines almost bursting open. The stab from Moku's spear not only penetrated but tore through his stomach.

 

Moku sewed Xago's belly casually. Today, apart from introducing martial arts weapons to the orcs, Moku also managed to discover many things from his research on orc body resistance.

 

Moku marveled at the body of an adult orc that was still able to survive after being hit in the back of the head, slashed in the neck, hit hard behind the ear, stabbed in the solar plexus, and intestines burst out.

 

Of the nine adult orcs, only three were without bandages and stitches from the mortal wounds.

 

The orcs saw Moku who looked happy as he put Xago's intestines back into his stomach and then sewed them up. They begin to reconsider Moku's sanity.

 

Moku stood up and faced the orcs who were sitting cross-legged after sewing back Xago's stomach.
