The Record of Orc Civilization

Chapter 148 Asura

Boku and Goku eagerly continued to drain the mana organs that were on the tray in front of them. While continuing to eat, their concentration remained on the flowing dragon prana into the generator room. Now they have successfully opened 5 lotus petals, only 2 more petals are left and they can open the gate of evolution.

Moku stared at the two orcs that were about to evolve from outside the carriage with his inner eyes. He could see dragon prana flowing from the genitals of the two orcs towards an invisible place within their bodies.

Moku started to think that after this he would not be alone anymore. At first Moku thought that he would be the only evolved orc for a long time. It takes physical, mental, and will strength to be able to pass all the tests to get the classification to evolve. Because of that Moku never thought about what kind of being he is now.

The words evolve orc could no longer contain the definition of the being he was currently becoming. Even though he had a green skin and still had tusks in his teeth, but his body shape, hair, and even his internal organs were slightly different from ordinary orcs.

Evolved orc can only describe an orc that is different from other orcs but cannot describe a group. Therefore Moku felt that he should give a name to this new group, a group that originated from the orc race but evolved and became something more than orcs.

'Hmm... What should I call it?'

But before Moku can find the answer he sees Boku and Goku's bodies glowing almost simultaneously. The light was so bright that Moku needed to close his eyes but his inner eye which was still active detected the green energy emanating from Boku and Goku's bodies.

The green energy did not appear smoothly but was like churning boiling lava. They burst out of the orcs' bodies and exploded to challenge the world.

Blue energy came swirling with the orcs at the center, they looked like an army that had gathered to destroy the invaders. Moku had once felt this blue energy, the same energy he had felt from within the body of the mage, Mana.

Mana gathered and swirled, their number was greater than the green energy. Yet as if not afraid of the mana that came to destroy it, the green energy roared and defied mana. Without hesitation the mana that had gathered rushed over with the intent to destroy. They would not allow any invaders to enter their world.

But before the mana could touch the bodies of the two orcs, the green energy suddenly condensed and became a white membrane that envelops Boku and Goku's bodies. The mana vortex could only hit the white membrane but they couldn't damage it let alone destroy it.

The white membrane grew thicker and thicker and wrapped around the bodies of the two orcs like cocoons. Mana didn't give up and kept pushing to enter but their efforts were in vain because the white membrane was very strong and thick.

Moku remembers at this phase, his consciousness was pulled towards the subconscious and he met for the first time with the gate of evolution. Moku never thought that at that time his body was being attacked by the mana vortex in this world.

All the other monsters can't see this scene and couldn't open their eyes because the white light from the two orcs was so bright. The carriage door made of wood had long since been blown away by the wind.

Moku saw the mana vortex didn't give up and continued to attack the two orcs despite their efforts being in vain. Then he sensed something and subconsciously cast his gaze to the sky. What he saw left Moku who had lived for decades dumbfounded with his mouth hanging open.

A passageway forms above the heads of the two cocoons and grows higher and higher. This passage continued to extend until it pierced the clouds and covered the sky. At the mouth of the passage, there is a giant lotus flower with seven petals decorating the crown. Moku saw this with his inner eye, this passage forming something similar to one of the musical instruments, a trumpet.

"The generator room that you were referring to was just the beginning of a trumpet-shaped funnel." Moku repeated Mak Lampir's words when she explained the difference between his own evolution and the evolution in Vithaen Possession Art and Mana Cream Cultivation.

At this moment, Moku only understands that what Mak Lampir meant as a trumpet-shaped funnel was not the passage through which Moksha went to the Mind Realm, but a true form of Moksha's evolution.

'What happens when this trumpet is blown?'

"When you have successfully passed all the stairs and entered all the existing evolution gates, the trumpet will blow and you will automatically move to the Spiritual Realm." Moku answered the question in his heart with Mak Lampir's next explanation.

'Is that all?'

Moku didn't know but he understood that this trumpet blast wouldn't be a good thing for the world.

Then the two giant lotuses moved slowly, then faster and faster until the dark sky grew even darker. The clouds were sucked into it, not only that the two lotus flowers also sucked in all the mana vortex that continued to attack the two cocoons non-stop. Until there was only silence as if the whole world was holding its breath.

Then...

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNGGGGGG!!!!!!

A loud sound that only Moku using his inner eye could hear shook the world. The wind came out of the mouth of the trumpet like the water coming out of a giant dam that had collapsed. Destroying everything in front of it and obliterating them in the midst of a natural disaster.

The two cocoons cracked and two new orcs came out of them… no they could no longer be called orcs. Their bodies grew taller with leaner bodies as their large muscles condensed. Their green skin looked darker and black hair flowed from the top of their heads, extending to their waists. The orc's bare lower canines shrunk and became sharp.

Moku saw their bodies covered in tribal white tattoos, their red eyes glowing in the darkness of the night, and the terrifying aura emanating from them. Moku turns to the two giant trumpets that starting to fade and the mana vortex that disappeared... no.. destroyed.

Moku found the right name for them...

"Asura."

And with the naming of the new monster race, the first snow fell.

[Outskirts of the Bog Forest, Place of battle between monsters and five Mages]

A group of humans is seen doing research in this place.

A glasses guy took a soil sample and gripped it tightly while closing his eyes. However, his eyes quickly opened, and he sighed while shaking his head.

"Did you find them?" said a man with a white robe covering his body.

"I can't trace them. The energy they use is unknown to me and doesn't seem to be coming from mana" the glasses guy said with a frown.

"Is that so" replied the white-robed man flatly, although he felt a little disappointed this was not new news for him.

But before they could continue their research a warm wind blew from the north hitting their faces and making their eyes widen. All the humans in the place raised their heads and looked toward the source of the wind.

The man in the white robe took off his cape, wrinkling his nose he said "There they are!"

A rumbling sound rang out from within Stent Gaht's mouth.

[Glittering Meadow]

As the river began to dry up, the tall grass that filled the meadows began to wither. The colder air made the shady trees begin to shed their leaves until there was no greenery to be seen.

This beautiful meadow looks arid.

Strangely, as the plants began to wither, the animals around Glittering Meadow seemed to start moving away from the once beautiful meadow. Especially those who are carnivorous animals doing massive migrations like being afraid of something.

Not only that, even the mutated animal who always walked with pride and felt himself a great ruler of this place, bowed his head and walked away from Glittering Meadow. Their extremely fast pace showed how rushed they were. They didn't even dare touch the fat herbivores they passed.

The Great River that irrigates the grasslands is drying up and the water freezes over, creating a path that can be traversed by those who have been separated by this impenetrable wall.

A black insect leg covered with an exoskeleton so thick that it could not be penetrated by a sharp sword touched the slowly frozen river. He only found that his feet didn't sink but he hadn't checked the hardness of the frozen river so he stomped harder.

*BUM!

There were slight cracks under his feet but with this, he was sure that he wouldn't sink when he stepped on them. He ventured to cross the frozen river without he thought he could pass it easily.

Until he reached the other side of the river and saw a vast meadow. Then he looked back and squeaked.

"SKREEEEKKKK!!!!!"

He walked forward again but this time he was not alone, thousands... millions... billions... the others 'he' followed closely behind.
