ARCHIVERSE

"CUCKOO!" The manuk patiaraja crowed loudly in the air, its cawing deafening Oka, electrifying the surrounding air.

The theme song changed to a more intense, boss-fighting tune. Thought to be an MMORPG, it turns out to be soulslike, Oka fights a monster boss instead.

Manuk patiaraja has the general characteristics of a rooster. Headed by a chicken, wearing a combat helmet with a gold crown with a red eye in the middle, sharp beak, sharp teeth with fangs, body and wings like a peacock but not its tail, legs and claws like an eagle, wearing gold armor on its legs up to the knees, similar to giant gloves with pointed claws, two spurs or long nails behind the limbs, making its legs look like hands holding daggers, reddish-blue feathers, measuring 100 meters.

The patiraja manuk swooped its two talons down on Oka from above. The pose of an eagle pouncing on prey, its wings spread upwards, its neck feathers spread out like a lion's mane. Crowing loudly.

"Kheh," Oka chuckled-while grinning, "what a coincidence that I just read about your skills." Smiling. "Now is the time to try it out. I'm going to try it out on you. You'll be my experimental chicken," Oka exclaims confidently.

The mid-air battle begins! (The music picks up).

WUUUS! The manuk patiaraja swoops down with its huge claws - ouch! Oka dodges as fast as the wind, cringing, as a chain of starlit fire appears (purplish in color), stretching loosely around Oka's body, with a cosmic fire effect. The chain of fire is connected to a powerful beam of fire, which envelops the golden dagger in Oka's hand (the beam of fire forms a chain). The golden kris became the point of emanation, channeling its fire energy. The golden kris that emits fire is like a flaming broad laser sword (the cosmic fire gatra [aspect] technique of the golden kris' special magical power-the Kartika Pamor skill).

Oka grinned. Bet-bet-bet! Then darting through the air, with the light of a comet, sparkling stars, twinkling, rushing forward to smash the golden kris.

CROW! The manuk patiaraja crowed, shooting out a huge sound wave from its beak.

Siuh! Oka dodges, siuh, appearing to the right of the manuk patiaraja, ten meters away.

WUUUS! The manuk patiaraja delivered a claw slash from the left.

TRANG! Oka parried the slash.

The manuk patiaraja's sharp beak swooped down from above.

Siuh! Oka dodged it, darted upwards, over the manuk patiaraja's head, siuh, appearing there, hovering 20 meters above his head.

Manuk patiaraja looked up, opened its beak, CUCKOO! Shooting out sound waves.

SING! Oka cleaves the sound waves with a golden dagger, slashing it upwards, the split sound waves passing by on either side.

Bet! Oka rushes forward again, like a comet, darting for the manuk patiaraja's head. Siuh, there he was, one meter away, slashing a golden dagger at the manuk patiaraja's head.

"PAMOR!" Then he shouted loudly.

TRANG! Manuk patiaraja blocked the attack with his combat helmet. The golden dagger and helmet clashed, sparking flames.

Crack-crack-crack...! The golden dagger and the helmet of the manuk patiaraja clashed.

"Ergh!" Oka screamed.

BUS! The manuk patiaraja fanned out a wave of wind from both wings.

DUAS! Oka was hit by the wind wave.

"Ergh!" Oka growled in annoyance - and was thrown back 20 meters. It wasn't a lethal attack, just an annoying one if hit, giving a knock back effect.

Gosh, even though this natural world was like an RPG game, it was still the real world. This battle even feels like a fighting game to me. There was no pause or opportunity to attack if you waited like in RPG games. Instead, this "chicken" attacked with a random attack pattern. It could attack me at any time or counter my attacks if I advanced. It seemed like this world was more complex than just a game world. Maybe like a Roblox game that has various genres, or Minecraft with various mods. Hey, I'm reminded of anime like Sword Art Online, Log Horizon, and Shangri-La Frontier. Or even Digimon and Code Lyoko cartoons.

Ouch! Oka dived again. Darted toward the chest of the starving manuk. Siuh, it appeared there, ten meters away.

WUUUS! The manuk patiaraja let out a flurry of claws.

Siut! Oka first threw his gold chain dagger at the manuk patiaraja's left ankle (the part of the gap that was not protected by armor), and the blade of the dagger stuck there. Bet, Oka then pulled the kris chain, bouncing his body into the stuck kris blade. Tap, landed on the ankle of the manuk patiaraja, immediately ran, ran on his huge legs, kept running up to his knees.

The manuk patiaraja crowed angrily, "CUCKOO!" He shook its leg, trying to get rid of Oka, who was running there. He then swung his right leg over his left, intending to kick.

Siut! Oka threw another golden chain dagger, throwing it at the right wing of the manuk patiaraja. Kring, hook, chain successfully wrapped around the wing arm. Bet! Oka then darted towards the wing - dodging the right foot, which was trying to kick him. Oka slipped past the wing arm, and then slipped all the way back to the manuk patiaraja's body-while the chain was wrapped around the wing arm.

"MANDURI!" Oka pulled the dagger chain and threw the manuk patiaraja's body with his Manduri skill (a technique that increases the user's body weight).

PTAS!!! The manuk patiaraja bounced like lightning, slipping far away. Oka slipped with him, pulled by the chain still wrapped around the wing arm.

"KARTIKA PAMOR!" Oka continues to punch the manuk patiaraja in the stomach, delivering a cosmic fire punch in slow motion.

A crushing blow!

"KOMET!" (the surrounding air booms).

BUUUM!!!-BRUAAK!!! The manuk patiaraja's body was smashed into the giant white benara wall, which emitted flares-far away.

Tap! Oka landed on the benara wall, clinging to it (standing vertically). Cringing, the chains around his body jingled as he stood.

Dust billowed around the manuk patiaraja. Pruk-pruk-pruk .... The debris of the broken benara wall above the manuk patiaraja fell, one or two falling on his beak and head. The manuk patiaraja is now 30 meters below Oka.

It's quiet.

Oka is still watching. Has he lost? As the dust settled, the manuk patiaraja's body came back into view. The manuk patiaraja moved his body, shaking his head slightly, competing. It still hadn't lost, its body still looked fine despite the blow it had just taken. Its feathers were dirty, filled with the dust of the benara wall.

Manuk patiaraja looks up, towards Oka, roars ferociously with a kokokan, CUCKOO! Shooting out sound waves.

Splash! Oka slipped to the side, dodged, popped back up—still clinging to the wall.

Manuk patiaraja crowed with a roar, beating both wings. ZUOOOS! Instantly, huge flames were ignited on both wings, blazing.

Oka was quite impressed by the change. "Looks like this is going to be a serious fight." Oka grinned. His long hair fluttered in the wind.

Sring! Not to be outdone, Oka covered both hands with armor gloves up to the elbows, crystal gloves, glittering (a skill with the technique of making crystal armor as hard as diamonds that protects the body of its user—Lamina Napakawaca).

The battle is now in a vertical state, on a very wide benara wall.

WUUUS! Manuk patiaraja took off, flew as fast as lightning, instantly appeared in front of Oka, ten meters away, clawing from above.

TRANG!!! Oka blocked with the crystal glove on her left arm. Cracks...! The manuk patiaraja continues to press its claws, trying to press Oka's body against the wall, stepping on it.

Siut! Oka throws a golden chain dagger at the manuk patiaraja's head, tring, the manuk patiaraja ducks the blade with his beak-it's just a diversionary attack. Siuh! Siuh! Oka then darted under the manuk patiaraja's chin—entangling the manuk patiaraja's foot, which tried to step on him. Five meters below the manuk patiaraja's chin, Oka unleashes a cosmic fire kick, a sideways somersault upward like a disc, "Kartika's sparkle!"

The manuk patiaraja counters the kick with a headbutt.

TRANG—

BET! Oka then slams the fiery chain into the manuk patiaraja's head from the side.

THUD! The manuk patiaraja kicks Oka's body upwards first. Luckily, Oka was able to block the kick, crossing his arms over his chest as a shield, but he was still knocked down.

Siut! Oka quickly threw a golden chain dagger at the toe of the kicking manuk patiaraja, kring, hook, Oka's body was stopped from slamming. BET! The manuk patiaraja pulls down the chain on his toe, fiuh, Oka removes the kris' fire chain to prevent it from being pulled. SWING! Then fires a slash of cosmic fire as it falls through the air holding back the golden kris, SMASH! The golden kris' flame slash slams into the manuk patiaraja's head.

The manuk patiaraja became annoyed, immediately retaliating with a sound wave, CUCKOO! Shooting it upwards.

DUAS! This time Oka was hit, bouncing higher and higher towards the top of the continent.

WUS! The manuk patiaraja flies over, appearing in front of Oka, ten meters away about to peck.

Nging, Oka increased his body weight with his Manduri skill, BUK!!! Then he kicked the manuk patiaraja in the stomach first. It was a very heavy plunging kick.

"Eeergh!!!" Oka growled, his face hardening.

BWOS! The manuk patiaraja retaliated, fanning flames from both wings. It was the previous wind wave attack that had the effect of knocking him back, but this time it was given the power of fire, now it was a deadly attack-

SING! Oka sliced through the flames, slashing his golden dagger downward. That was a close call.

WUS! The manuk patiaraja continues to attack, flying through the air, appearing in front of Oka, ten meters away, making a clawing attack.

TRANG-TRANG-TRANG-TRANG-TRANG...! Oka tried to parry. Thirty seconds of relentless parrying later, ....

TRANG-TRANG-TRANG!—Splash! Oka threw the golden chain dagger to the side, pulling his body out of the successive clawing attacks. It worked. He was 20 meters away from the manuk patiaraja. Clinging to the benara wall.

Siut! Oka quickly threw another golden chain dagger, this time at the manuk patiaraja's neck, kring, linked, successfully strangling him. Oka then increased his body weight, throwing himself off the benara wall as a weight—WUUUUS!!! The manuk patiaraja's neck is pulled, carried down with his body very fast, in a breech position, pulled by Oka's body weight.

WUUUUS!!! Oka and the manuk patiaraja continued to fall beside the benara wall. The manuk patiaraja was right on top of Oka.

Nging .... Oka then concentrates the increased weight into a fist, the light grains of power are absorbed, gathering to one point on the fist (slow motion).

"Manduri ...." Oka whispered in concentration, taking a breath ....

"OVER!" Shout out loud!

BRAAAK!!!—BOOOOM!!! Hitting hard on the manuk patiaraja's head, releasing the increased weight on the fist, resulting in a one-point thumping explosive blow, which emitted a burst of light.

"BIG BANG!" (The surrounding air again boomed).

(Manduri skills can be used to attack by releasing increased user load. All skills can be varied. Manduri Melur: Big Bang is a variation of the Manduri skill).

KRAK! Manuk patiaraja's golden helmet shatters-

BOOOM!!! Suddenly, the manuk patiaraja unleashed an explosion of powerful sound waves from all over his body.

DUAAAS! Oka was hit by the devastating attack, bouncing downwards at a terrifying speed.

BRAK-BRAK-BRAK-BRAK-BRAK...! Oka's body spun around and around, smashing into the trees on the ground, as well as rocks and whatever else was in the forest.

"Eeeergh!!!" Oka growled in annoyance—KRING! Stopped from bouncing (hanging horizontally for a moment), she managed to hold her body up by hooking the gold dagger chain to a tree.

Tap, back on his feet, Oka stood at ground level. There were ferns and weeds all around.

There was a manuk patiaraja just ahead, in the distance, walking on the surface. They were about 500 meters apart.

The manuk patiaraja looked very angry this time, angrier than ever, his whole body covered in flames. He became the red rooster now, no, but the red rooster. Like a giant phonx. The surrounding trees burned down every time he walked past.

Bam! Bam! Bam! ...! The ground shook with every step.

The manuk patiaraja growled, making an annoyed clucking sound, "Grrrrrr!" Staring at Oka with the angry face of a chicken, his eyeballs emit fire. Fus, fire breath wafted from his beak and nostrils.

"Wow, now you're a roasted chicken." Oka grinned mockingly.

Manuk patiaraja squinted, glaring back sarcastically, "Grrrr!" Roar accompanied by a cackle.

"This is going to be even more exciting." Oka smiled enthusiastically.

Oka set up a stance, a mounting stance, a combat stance in martial arts. Wide stance, arms crossed, right hand holding the golden dagger in front of the chest, left hand with an open grip in front of the head, tiger stance.

ZUOOOS! The intense rays of cosmic fire on the golden dagger envelop Oka's entire body, glittering like stars, flickering, radiating rapidly all over.

"HIAAAH!" Oka shouted loudly, releasing energy. Krak! So much so that the ground he was standing on slightly buckled.

"Grrr!" Manuk patiaraja growled as he watched, still with a sardonic gaze.

The two of them were now facing each other from afar, staring at each other intently.

Ten seconds of silence.

Oka applies increased weight to both feet, lifts one foot, DUS! Releases the increased weight on the sole of the foot he is standing on, SIUUUH! Then dives forward, faster than ever, like a meteor. Combining the Saifi Wind's darting technique with Manduri's weight release technique. Resulting in an even stronger darting impact.

WUUUS! Manuk patiaraja took flight against, flying forward like a nova storm, the trees below him that he passed were burned.

SIUUUUUUH!!! Oka continues to dart, advocating a slow motion straight ahead kick, his face hardening, his teeth gritting.

Manuk patiaraja fights back, opening its beak, KUKURUYUK!—ZUOOOS! It shoots out a wave of fire-no more sound waves come out.

DUS! Oka releases the increased weight on the sole of his kicking foot.

BUUUM! The explosion of kicks and waves of fire clash, thick smoke billowing from both attacks.

Siuh, Oka pierces through the smoke of the explosion, continuing to advance through the air advocating kicks.

WUUUS! Layaman's claws kicked Oka from below.

TRANG! Oka parries with his crystal glove, and is sent flying upright, right over the head of the manuk patiaraja.

Siut! Oka throws a golden chain dagger at the ankle of the kicking manuk patiaraja, kring, linked. BET! The manuk patiaraja pulled his hooked leg down as before.

WUUUS! Oka hurtles downward, but this time doesn't lose the chain of hooked gold krises. Already knowing the same move, Oka hits the cosmic fire kick hard with his heel.

"Kartika...!"

DUAAAK! The manuk patiaraja's head is smashed in—"THE STAR FALLS!"

BET! The manuk patiaraja swings the dagger chain at his feet to the side, Oka is pulled, TAAS—WUUUS! Flung far into the air, floating away.

NGING .... Manuk patiaraja then charged the fire energy in his throat.

ZOOOOOR!!! Releasing that energy, shooting out an extremely powerful beam of fire from its beak, a giant laser was fired. Shooting the giant laser to the side, stretching out half a circle, SWIIIIIING!!!—

Whoosh! Oka turns her body into wind for a split second as the giant laser pierces through her body without harming her, just passing by.

BLAR-BLAR-BLAR-BLAR-BLAR...! The giant laser beam burns and blasts away half the forest surface-also cutting through the mountain! The scorched slash was burned away without a trace.

It was quiet.

Puffs of dust and smoke soared as far as the eye could see, a sea of fire with a radius of three kilometers. It was like a scene from hell.

WUUUS! Manuk patiaraja swoops down and flies towards Oka, appearing there, ten meters away, swinging both claws from right to left at the same time, about to kick.

Siut! Oka throws a golden chain dagger at the manuk patiaraja's chest, thud, stick, bet! Withdrawing the chain, it bounces to the golden dagger blades that are stuck from the two claws on the right and left. BUK! Kicking the manuk patiaraja's chest, with Manduri's heavy kick.

BUUUS!!! The manuk patiaraja bounced down to the forest floor. BRAK-BRAK-BRAK-BRAK-BRAK...! This time he was dragged to the surface, causing the trees behind him to fall. He continued to be dragged for 200 meters. BRAK! Hitting the ruins of the castle—stopped being dragged. The dust from the broken ruins billowed out.

WUUUUUUUSS!!! Oka continued to dive at the manuk patiaraja's head, before the manuk patiaraja got back up. Growling. About to deliver a heavy blow of cosmic fire.

The manuk patiaraja roared. Deftly fended off Oka as he darted toward him, parrying him to the side with a leg slash.

Trang! Oka blocked the manuk patiaraja's foot slash with a crystal glove. Bouncing down, siut, Oka threw a golden chain dagger at one of the large pillars of the ruins behind the manuk patiaraja, kring, related. Oka then increased his body weight, causing the large pillar behind the manuk patiaraja to collapse.

The manuk patiaraja would not have time to move to avoid it, he was still on his feet. The big pole continued to fall. BRAK-BRAK-BRAK-BRAK! Then it fell on the manuk patiaraja's body, some debris bounced around, thick dust billowed up.

Oka was still falling through the air.

WUIIING! Chunks of the tower from behind the thick dust are thrown at him. Hap, Oka reflexively somersaults in the air, taps, lands on top of the thrown chunk, gets thrown on top of the chunk.

BWOOOS! Manuk patiaraja shoots out a huge flame from behind the thick dust, the thick dust is shaken off.

"Errgh," Oka growled, his face slightly heated by the flames, his hair flying up.

Oka was about to slash his golden dagger through the blast of fire, WUUUS! But the manuk patiaraja had darted forward without Oka realizing it, breaking through the blast of fire in front of him, the blast of fire blocked the manuk patiaraja's body, its head emerged from behind the blast of fire in front of Oka, with its beak open to eat, its eyes blazing red, "ROOAAAR!"

"Ekh!" Oka gasped.

That's bad, my position is locked. I couldn't do anything in the air. The beak of the starving manuk kept moving, ready to clamp down (slow motion).

Wait, why didn't I think of doing this. "Heh," Oka grins, cracks, tightly grips the golden dagger-SRIIIIING! Slashing it with all his might, a slash of cosmic fire.

CRAAAS! Slashing the inside of the open beak of the starving manuk.
