The earth seemed to tremble, causing the ground to shift, tall trees to fall, and birds to fly in fear. Moku felt a massive surge of mana entering the ground beneath Raiden's feet.
Then...
The surrounding ground began to rumble and crack like living clay.
From within the cracked crevices of the earth emerged an army of clay statues composed of upright warriors. Each warrior stood tall and imposing, with impressive details in their carvings and costumes. Their expressionless faces appeared menacing with meticulously carved eyes.
Each warrior was equipped with terrifying weapons and war gear. There were large swords, spears, bows and arrows, and towering shields in their hands. Despite being made of clay, they looked alive and ready for battle.
The sight became even more impressive as the warriors started to move. They emerged from the ground slowly, step by steady step. Their neatly arranged formations and synchronized movements created an impression of a disciplined army prepared to face any threat.
The reddish-brown clay color complemented the mystical aura of this army. Dim lights emanated from spells, highlighting each warrior and creating eerie shadows around them.
In the silence, the sound of their footsteps and the movement of their war gear could be distinctly heard. As they advanced, the ground beneath their feet trembled, giving the impression of an unstoppable force.
[Rise of Death: Terracotta Army]!
Raiden's thunderous incantation resonated alongside the legendary army.
"This is my power! How about it, Moku The Ku? Are you capable of surviving against this legendary army?"
Raiden's voice thundered, accompanied by the synchronized strike of weapons by the entire Terracotta warriors, shaking the earth. Moku felt as if the tree on which he stood was collapsing, as if bowing before the legendary army in front of him.
However, Moku only smiled. "Is that so? The Legendary Army, huh? I may not be able to fight them alone, but fortunately, I don't have to face them alone. Now it's my turn! Let me show you what legends are made of!"
The dragon's prana surged within his body, flowing vigorously into the Orb Intent within his chest. Moku concentrated all his focus on envisioning what he was about to create.
Pandava shimmered, and the serene and dark surroundings suddenly surged. The darkness around him seemed to be pinched by something and transformed into a terrifying black blob. Bouncing in the air, the black blob then took the form of a human.
Then, more black blobs formed until there were fifteen of them. Raiden could only see darkness in front of him, with the black blobs moving and taking the shape of humans.
And at that moment, Moku's voice thundered...
[Vivid Dream: Bhayangkara Squad]!
Like a raging mountain torrent, the dragon's prana stored within the Orb Intent exploded and poured into the fifteen black blobs. The human forms became clearer and clearer.

As the fifteen individuals emerged from the black blobs created by Moku, Raiden furrowed his brow. He could sense the danger posed by these fifteen individuals, but compared to his terracotta army that filled the entire landscape, they were like a drop of water in a vast lake.
"Is this your army? Have you not counted the size of my forces? What can your fifteen individuals do against my 8,000 soldiers?" Raiden expressed his disappointment.
He had hoped to engage in a fierce battle with Moku, but it seemed that his enemy's capabilities were limited.
Moku dismissed Raiden's disappointment in his voice. He gazed at the legendary squad described in the stories. Although he couldn't visualize their appearance due to the scarcely written history of his country, Moku was convinced that the fifteen individuals before him were indeed that squad.
They were the squad that transformed a small village named Majapahit into a magnificent Empire that ruled over the Nusantara. Alongside them were legendary warriors and a general whose name became immortalized due to his oath that compelled the heavens to submit. That squad was the Bhayangkara, and the general was Gajah Mada.
Snorting, he said, "These fifteen individuals are more than enough to defeat you."
Without further delay, Moku drew the Dawnshadow Blade from beneath his clothes. His dragon prana surged, and his body was enveloped in a biofield. He had to be serious to face a Level 5 Constellation Mage.
Although he could now neutralize Raiden's Domain with his Pandava, spells that Raiden could recite were still extremely dangerous to him.
Moku landed directly behind the fifteen Bhayangkara Squad members, and with a wave of his hand, they advanced fearlessly. There was no fear in their eyes as they were ordered to face 8,000 soldiers at once.
There were only four principles (Chatur Prasetya) that mattered to this legendary squad: Haprabu (loyalty to the leader of the nation), Hanyaken Musuh (expelling the enemies of the nation), Gineung Pratidina (determined to defend the nation), and Tan Satrisna (sincerity in carrying out their duties).
