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.
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.
