Chapter 4: Fight with Boa-Derea - His True Power
The forest of Eldoria had proven to be a harsh and treacherous place, but Oppo and Sente continued their journey undeterred. After days of traveling, they reached the outskirts of the Gloomwood Marsh, a dark and ominous region known for its dangerous creatures and treacherous terrain.
As they ventured deeper into the marsh, the air grew thick with humidity, and the ground became soft and boggy under their feet. Strange and unfamiliar sounds echoed around them, heightening their sense of alertness. Oppo and Sente knew that something or someone was watching them.
Suddenly, the air around them crackled with energy, and a menacing figure emerged from the shadows. It was Boa-Derea, a fearsome warrior known for his brutal strength and mastery of dark magic. His presence sent a chill down Oppo's spine.
"So, you're the one everyone’s been talking about," Boa-Derea sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. "The boy with the glowing hand and the purple hat. Let’s see if you’re as powerful as they say."
Oppo stepped forward, determination etched on his face. "I won't let you stand in my way," he declared, his hand glowing with red energy.
The battle was intense, with Boa-Derea using his dark magic to summon shadowy creatures and strike at Oppo with unrelenting force. Despite his best efforts, Oppo found himself struggling to keep up. Each strike from Boa-Derea seemed to push him closer to defeat.

As the fight raged on, Oppo remembered his father’s words about the magic within him. He could feel the power coursing through his veins, but he knew he needed something more to turn the tide. Desperation turned into clarity, and a phrase echoed in his mind—doa doa na!
Oppo took a deep breath and shouted the words with all his might: “Doa doa na!”
Instantly, his body surged with incredible power. His glowing hand became a blazing beacon of red energy, and the slash over his eye intensified. Oppo felt his strength triple, his movements becoming faster and more precise. His right arm began to change, glowing and expanding as he blew into his finger, causing it to puff up like a balloon and stretch through his arm.
But the transformation didn’t stop there. His entire chest began to puff up, expanding with raw energy. Oppo's legs became tiny in comparison, making his upper body look like a colossal, glowing force of nature. The sheer power coursing through him was almost overwhelming.
With newfound vigor, Oppo launched a powerful attack. His massive, glowing chest and arm struck Boa-Derea with such force that the dark warrior was sent flying through the trees, disappearing into the marsh with a scream of rage and pain. The impact shattered the shadowy creatures and dispelled the dark magic that surrounded them.
As the assailant vanished, Oppo's body slowly returned to its normal size, and the glowing energy settled back into his hand. Panting and bruised, Oppo and Sente regrouped.
“That was incredible, Oppo. You’ve truly tapped into your power,” Sente said, her voice filled with admiration.
Oppo nodded, a smile spreading across his face. “I know now what my father meant. I can control this power, and with it, I’ll protect Jumara.”
With renewed energy, Oppo and Sente continued their journey through the Gloomwood Marsh, ready to face whatever destiny had in store for them.
