Chapter 107: Moro’s trick

After a few exchanges Moro was getting kicked around and then Vegeta finally hit Moro into a ground. Vegeta let go of his transformation as he stared down Moro. I noticed a while back because of my eyes, that Moro was draining the planet and everyone on it. Life energy was heading towards Moro at a fast pace. Before he was slowly draining the energy but since he was fighting Vegeta and losing he decided to drain faster. Goku also noticed that the life around him like the trees were withering away. He also checked himself and confirmed that his energy was trickling away. I know why Moro called me weak, he thought I was weak because of the seals I placed on myself to stop my energy from leaking out subconsciously but instead he was weakening my seals but not enough to break them. Since Moro started to drain faster and stronger I will have to step in because Goku noticed too late that his energy was being drained.

Vegeta: I don't care what sort of villain you are, but I won't sit by while this planet suffers. Which means you need to be eliminated.

Goku: Be on guard Vegeta! Something weird is going on!

Sage: Goku-san, Vegeta-san, let me handle Moro while you guys evacuate the Namekians.

Vegeta: What?! Right when I'm about to finish him off?

The one that escaped with Moro took off on the ship when he saw Moro being hit around. Moro knocked the ship down to keep him from escaping.

Vegeta: Where did that scum escape to now?

Goku: Over there Vegeta!

Moro was gathering the planets life energy into a ball but by the looks of it, it wasn't to attack.

Vegeta: What are you up to now? Make that thing as big as you like… your technique is useless against me now.

Sage: Phrasing Vegeta-san. He knows it won't work again but it looks like he will do something else.

As I said, Moro gathered, condensed and ate the energy. His power level spiked.

Moro: Hmph! That first meal in a long time does the body good.

Vegeta: I get it. That's how you go around absorbing energy?

Goku: Does he seem way stronger than before?

Vegeta: Of course. This is why Merus was eager to recapture you promptly. Why don't we hurry up and settle this then?

Moro: Oh? Try me, if you can.

Vegeta: You think your little boost was enough to surpass us? Super Saiyan Blue is still far beyond your scope. HHAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!! I can't turn Super Saiyan Blue?!

Sage: Vegeta-san stop embarrassing yourself. How is it that you guys can't feel your own power leaving you at a fast rate? Apparently, not only can he absorb the planets energy, he can also drain the power of those on it as well. Like I said before, let me hold him off while you guys evacuate the Namekians.

Vegeta: And what? Are you saying that you weren't affected by his energy absorption?

Goku: No wonder your Ki was almost non-existent.

Vegeta: Dammit! If you knew he could absorb our energy just by being on the planet, why didn't you say anything?

Sage: We all knew he absorbed energy, so I took precautions, what we didn't know was to what extent. What good would it do if it didn't work? If it didn't work I would be in the same situation as you guys but now I know that it did work but I don't know for how long, so at best I can say that I can hold him back so that you can save the Namekians.

Goku: Vegeta, let Sage hold him off. Sage, if you can get rid of him take the chance.

Sage: Of course.

Goku and Vegeta flew to the Namekians but they were wobbly as they flew. I guess Moro drained them more than I thought. I can't use too much strength since it will only benefit Moro. I also don't want to show him my true power. Using my Legendary True Super Saiyan form will only make me lose focus but I can physically hold him off.

Moro: So you retained your energy, huh? It still won't help you.

Sage: It might not but you don't know that. Let's see if you can take my fists and kicks to your face as much as you take balls, haha.

Moro: Insolent brat.

I appeared in front of Moro and sunk my left fist in his gut. I spun and heel kicked him on the back of his neck. Moro was catapulted into the ground making a crater. I only hit him twice but I still feel my energy leaving me. Thanks to my seals the absorption was minimal but that was only for now. Moro came out of the crater in a flash but I was already waiting. As he charged I smiled as I grabbed him by the horns and kneed him in the mouth. Blood was running down his goat lips.

Moro: (With a serious look) How are you able to ward off my technique?

Sage: And what? So you can look for a way to take my energy?

I flashed again but Moro was ready and blocked my fist. I punched with my other hand but he blocked me again.

Moro: Still weak.

My grin didn't go away as I spread open his arms with mine and kicked him in the solar plexis. Unless I can stop him from absorbing my energy with every contact, powering up will not make a difference. The more we exchange moves the more energy I lose so I need to hurt him enough to push him back but that will not work too well because he can simply absorb energy to recover. I gathered what little energy I had and rushed Moro. After a few exchanges I caught Moro from behind and used a knife hand, Nukite, to stab him through the ribs. While I had my hand in him I grabbed whatever organ or bone and pulled it out. Moro was bleeding out.

Moro: ARRGGGG!!!!! You little shit!!!

I knew he could absorb energy but didn't know to what level. I took the opportunity to meet the others but I couldn't fly straight. I landed and used more seals to conceal my energy to stop from draining and hide my presence because it is foolish to hide physically while my energy is detectable to a creature that devours energy. I don't know how long it will take for Moro to heal but I needed to regroup and regain any strength.

I met up with Goku and Vegeta in a hidden location that the Namekians had. We were all drained but it wasn't life threatening. When we sat down to rest up Goku and Vegeta immediately fell asleep. After 2 days they didn't wake up. As long as we are on the planet Moro will be able to sense us and eventually drain us. Even now I feel small amounts of energy leaving me. Whatever food I made for myself lost much of its essence to restore me. I needed to counter his magic but the only thought in my mind was going to learn it in another universe. I know Goku and Vegeta will be ok but Moro will get what he wanted which was the return of his power. I only knew of a few universes that held magic as their main source of power.

Sage: Moori-san, take care of Goku and Vegeta. There will be some help coming. When they wake up tell them that I will come back after training to counter Moro.

Moori: Sure, I will.

The only place I knew that could teach me magic and had a deep history of it was Fairy Tail in the land of Magnolia. I gathered the remaining strength I had and made a Yomotsu Hirasaka (Underworld Slope Hill) while thinking of the location. I quickly disappeared from the Dragon Ball Universe and let the portal take me to my destination. I had little strength remaining so I will be weakened like I was when I first entered the One Piece Universe.
