RUST [RUST]-461

Cure!!

Kwaaaa …

A fierce murderous spirit mixed in with the strong air waves!

One of the sacred crows that had been brought to serve as a scout for the living began to thrash around like crazy.

Foodie!

Foodduck!

The sight of her desperately trying to open the small medicine bag hanging from her ankle was almost pitiful.

[hey.]

The sacred crow is only focused on opening its bag even when Maru calls it softly.

These guys still haven’t come to their senses.

Take away the name of divinity.

That’s why the drug was the problem.

No matter how hard you try to convince people of divinity or repentance, if the effects wear off, it’s back to Amitabha Buddha.

Touched.

A crimson murderous aura rising from the floor.

The crow, who had been pulling at the bag that wouldn’t open with his beak, froze in that position.

[Can’t you hear what I’m saying?]

Over there, kuuuuuu!

The beast’s howl and the terrible murderous intent burst forth, but they were nothing in front of this being now.

Yeah, rather···.

Caww

dump.

The divine crow, having lost his mind, simply chose to faint.

under?

Maru was dumbfounded.

If a crow scouts out, it’ll be quicker to figure out where you are, so why don’t you just lose your mind?

[I’ll go first. Tie this kid up. I can’t just leave him here because he’s whining about taking medicine.]

[Okay.]

Maru checked the location information on the HUD and ran in a general direction.

Bam-bam-

Papapak-

I could tell because the sound of my footsteps was echoed through the forest.

That fear is clear in the distant howling of wolves.

The big wolf I saw last time was the size of a compact car.

Even though it’s a compact car, it’s still a car. How can someone that big be the leader and still sound so terrified? What on earth is going on?

[!]

The sight that unfolded before Maru’s eyes as he ran.

[······.]

Here and there, the white spaces were dyed red.

The sight of scattered entrails and debris hanging from the branches of coniferous trees.

Starting with a wolf whose head had been blown off in one blow, to a wolf whose internal organs had spilled out and whose spine was barely attached, all around were covered in red stains.

Maru’s gaze turned to the floor.

The footprints of an animal deeply imprinted on the ground.

Traces of quadrupedal walking, then at some point transitioning to bipedal walking, and then back to quadrupedal walking.

[What is this? What kind of beast is this?]

Kim Yang, who was sharing tactical camera footage in real time, became excited.

[What kind of monster is it?]

[···You’ll know when you see it.]

Maru activated the Ripper suit’s stealth function and jumped up onto the tree.

Every time a trampled branch screamed, a ripple of space shot forward. How many times did the thick branches bend and half-bend?

In front of the cave located at the foot of a low hill, a fierce battle was raging towards its climax. There were only seven wolves left.

Seeing that all seven of them had intact limbs, it would have been natural for them to run away, but the problem was what happened next.

Kiiing-

The babies crawl out of the cave.

It seemed like a pack of wolves had made the cave their base and bred there.

Bb-

Kiiing-

It looks like a young chick that was born not long ago.

At first glance, there were more than thirty of these squirming chicks.

[Is that a bear?]

Kim Yang’s surprisingly large body slowly headed towards the cave.

It felt like a dump truck or an armored vehicle was slowly moving forward, pressing forward.

Seven wolves desperately bit the bear’s hind legs and jumped up to attack its neck and nose, but to no avail.

Kwaaaaang!

The bear was smart enough that the wolves’ lures and provocations were not working on it.

Woof! Woof! Woof!

A bear leisurely heads to the cave, blocking only sensitive areas such as the bridge of its nose and its vital parts despite the wolves’ tantrums.

‘The pup is the target?’

I see a bear persistently targeting a wolf cub.

It seemed as if he was trying to wipe out the wolf’s seed.

‘That won’t do.’

Maru decided to separate the bear first.

bang!

As the Rhs revolver fired, the powerful firepower of the 12.7mm armor-piercing bullet struck the back of the bear’s head.

Huh?

The bear, who had been leisurely walking towards the animal, stopped walking.

And then the bear’s gaze, which was scratching the back of its head, turned to the tree where Maru was hiding.

‘Stealth doesn’t work?’

The bear glared at the tree with the hidden floor, then turned his head back to the cave.

bang!

Taang!

bang!

The corners of the bear’s mouth tilted to one side as the armor-piercing bullet struck the back of its head. The seven wolves did not miss this opportunity and began to scatter to the bear’s blind spot and attack and escape.

The wolves were glancing around the place where Maru was hiding as if asking why he wasn’t shooting anymore. The wolves were distracting the bear by taking advantage of the gap created when he was shooting, and they nodded their heads to signal for him to shoot.

‘Ha- Right.’

Maru reloaded and aimed for the bear again.

bang-

The problem was that the bear seemed to be as smart as the wolf. After reacting a few times, the bear was now sauntering towards the cave as if the gun didn’t bother him at all.

It was obvious that they were moving slowly, even though they could have jumped into the cave and killed all the babies in one breath.

Who said bears are stupid?

Looking at it now, it looked like a fox wearing bear skin.

It was clear that the wolves would run away without hesitation if all the cubs were killed, so they were waiting for an opportunity to burn the wolves’ child.

Woof! Woof!

Arrrrr!!

[Again- the wolves are now split in two?]

[There are those who say that you should run away right away when a human gets involved, and those who say that you should protect your young.]

The opinions of the first and second wolf ranks began to differ as to whether the bear’s pressure was successful.

Srrrrrrrr-

The floor where the eclipse was pulled out.

Maru turned the gun pointed at the bear to Eclipse and pulled the trigger.

Taang!

Oh my god!

The impact of a 12.7mm bullet striking the blade at close range was converted into vibration.

Wooooow-

As the sound of the ultrasonic cleaner spinning tore through the air, the bear and wolf’s gaze immediately turned to the hidden floor.

Maru, who jumped up after kicking the branches.

The eyes of beasts chasing the rippling space.

Phew-

Maru, who had been condensing his breath deeply, swung his Eclipse towards the bear’s head. A pitch-black blade bulged out from the middle of the hidden space.

Huh?

If it was a monster the size of a bear, he should have believed in his physical abilities and rushed at it, but the smart bear did the opposite.

Iron-pudeok-

A bear that avoids the swords on the floor by rolling sideways like a judo athlete.

The wolves lost their chance to counterattack as the giant creature rolled over to the side, curling its massive body into a ball.

Roll once. Roll twice.

A huge bear like a dump truck rolled over like a circus teddy bear, leaving the floor with some distance between them.

Amazing judgment and quick reflexes.

‘Shit, why don’t you just take the bear instead?’

Maru landed on the ground in a vertical downward motion and aimed for the side of the bear that had spread its distance like a rolling stone.

A bear swinging its front paw toward the floor.

Boom!

The guy cleverly didn’t aim for the floor directly.

With a loud bang, the slightly protruding rock exploded like a claymore, showering down shards of rock.

Bam- papapak- bam!

“Ah. See-”

Even though I used the vibrations from the Eclipse Blade to cut through the thick stone shards, I couldn’t stop them all.

Chijik-chijijik- chi–

The hidden module, which had been scratched by the rocks, was broken and Maru’s appearance was slowly revealed. The bear and Maru were facing each other through the dust that rose up as the rocks burst.

Khuh? Khuuung-

[Uh- What are you?]

The nurse reflexively interpreted. Was the bear also interpreted?

Maru said, turning on the external speaker.

[The king of this neighborhood.]

The bear sat up at the nurse’s interpretation.

Cool?

Kuu …

[Huh? You say you are the owner of this area?]

A powerful murderous intent mixed with the bear’s howl.

A few of the babies who had been struggling in the cave started urinating and foaming at the mouth.

[Shut up and move to a different seat so we can have a proper fight.]

The bear’s eyes looked back and forth between the floor and the wolf.

Kuwaaa!!!

With a roar that didn’t need the nurse’s interpretation, the bear stamped his two front paws down. The combined weight and force of the blow struck the ground, causing a commotion in the stomach, as the fallen leaves and stone chips flew up in the air.

A blow like striking a rock with a stone while fishing in a stream to stun a fish. Maru lost his balance and staggered from the completely unexpected attack.

A bear that rushes in without missing a single moment.

The overwhelming physical strength from his large body closed the distance in an instant.

The huge front paw that had penetrated through the long stretch of time swung around.

Buhwaaaaah!

Maru advances without avoiding the fierce blow.

Swiftness to walk 12 meters in one step.

The eclipse of the floor, which had passed the forelegs and approached the body directly, cried out.

Kwajijijik!

A strange feeling, hard yet soft, ran up the blade. The cutting motion that could cut through a building failed to completely cut off the thing’s hind legs and bones.

‘Fuck. That was shallow!’

Khuu …

The moment Eclipse, whose hind legs were torn off, drew a semicircle and was about to aim for the side, the bear scratched the ground with its forepaw.

Padadak!

As if a claymore had burst, a cloud of dust and dirt covered the floor where the sword was swinging.

Ting- tiddiddiding- thud!

Stone fragments striking the black surface of Eclipse.

The bear took advantage of that short gap and began to run away unsteadily. The distance widened by more than 10 meters with each step. In the blink of an eye, the bear disappeared into the distance, and red drops of blood fell from its back.

As the distance increased, the blood that had been flowing in clumps appeared to decrease in real time.

Truly tremendous regenerative power.

As a smart guy, he could have surrendered or asked to be spared, but seeing him run away like that, I’m sure he was just waiting for the future.

[Tell him to chase after that thing so he can catch it. Tell him to give me a ride.]

The nurse relayed Maru’s words exactly as they were, but the wolves did not move. The wolves licked the unconscious cubs, and the wolves were drooping, as if they had lost their energy after coming back from the dead.

[Hey. If you miss that now, you’re screwed.]

Even though they said they were going to die, the wolves just waggled their ears and tails and looked around. Maru was pissed at the sight of the wolves not responding.

Srrrrrrrr-

[I helped you out of consideration for the kids, but now you want to die as a group?]

Mungkul-

The wolves reacted with a startled expression at the sight of a blood-red aura rising up. The wolves blocked the pups with their bodies and whined.

[Ah- Again- It’s not that, is it because of the kids? Exhaustion? That’s what they say.]

[Tell them to shut up. I’m leaving now. Or else we’ll all die.]

The leader wolf came forward as if he had figured out Maru’s intentions even before the nurse could interpret.

[Uh- The other kids are too exhausted to move, so he said he would carry them.]

[Tell him to lie down.]

Maru’s pursuit began as he mounted the leader wolf, which was as big as a compact car. After only a few minutes, the amount of blood the bear was shedding was clearly decreasing.

‘Where on earth did you go?’

Even though the tracking distance was over 5 km, the bear was not seen.

The direction the traces point to is northwest.

Looking at the HUD map, the city of Hamilton was there.

It was a densely populated area with a population of 7 million in the Toronto metropolitan area, a city with a population of 500,000.

‘You’re running away to a densely populated area?’

The wound on his hind leg had almost completely healed, and the bloodstain was starting to fade. In addition, the cunning bastard was using the road to hide his footprints.

If Maru had chased alone, he would have definitely lost her. The chase of nearly 30km ended only after there was no trace of blood.

Krrrr- Krr?

[They say you went into the city? Are you going in?]

The bear’s tracks led to the city of Hamilton. We really entered the city.

Krrrr-rrrr-rrr-rrr–

[Ah- Also- And the smell of bear is so strong here and there that I can’t tell where it is.]

[Did that fucking crow come to his senses?]

[Ah- yes. Except for asking for medicine.]

Maru had no intention of missing out. Once he started, he had to see it through to the end.

[I need to come this way with Ms. Kim.]

Kim Yang quickly replied to Maru’s words.

[Okay, just wait a minute.]

[Leave the airship alone. It’s dangerous because the crow can’t conduct reconnaissance.]

It would have been dangerous if there had been a surface-to-air missile flying around on the roof like last time.

[Give the crow some medicine, and when you arrive, immediately go scout.]

[Yes? Yes. – Stay still. You heard me. I said I would give you medicine, so wait.]

I heard the nurse and the crow quarrelling. The sacred medicine crow tried to break its habit, but the situation was not favorable. All I could do was feed it and roll it over.

A moment later, as soon as the vehicle driven by Ms. Kim arrived in Hamilton, the sacred crow moved briskly.

[Find the bear. Check if there’s a missile launcher on the roof.]

Knock!

The sacred crow that had caught each of them and taken flight quickly found a strange trace. It was a mark of a hole in the front glass window of the building.

[Is that a substitute for a bear den?]

As Kim Yang said, it seemed like they were using the building as a residence. The operation began right away. The gist was to drag them out, as there was a risk of collapse if they fought inside.

[What if I use the x of the small V? Like a tear gas canister.]

The opinion is that even if nerve gas doesn’t work well on a mutant monster, it will definitely come out if used together with tear gas. Maru originally said not to use nerve gas, but the bear was out of spec at the moment.

[good.]

Kim Yang took up a sniping position, and Maru waited in front of the cave.

[3. 2. 1. Blast.]

Tear gas and VX gas grenades attached to small drones exploded inside the building.

Kkwaaa …

A bear jumping out of a building with glass bursting.

At the same time, the incendiary armor-piercing bullets fired by Kim Yang rained down on the bastard’s head.

Huh?

The blade passed by the side of the bear, which was protecting its head with its front paws as soon as it was hit. Maru, who had been at it once, recognized the texture of the hide and muscles and continued to swing his sword.

!!!

The blade, which had delicately cut through the weak area, eventually dug into the thin stomach skin.

Gulp-

The bear’s internal organs spilled out through the gap where the blade passed as if dissecting it.

Kkuuuuuu-

Kkuuuung-

[Eh- Eh-]

Before the nurse could say anything, Maru climbed onto the bear’s back.

bang!

As Rsh’s bullet struck the side of the Eclipse, the characteristic high-pitched sound of the super vibration shook the air.

A blade that plunges vertically!

Cookie gigigigig!

Eclipse ripped through the bastard’s skull with a sound of metal being cut, not bone.

Brrrr-!

The limbs of the bear, which had been struggling even after spilling its entrails, began to convulse. The sacred crow and the leader wolf turned their heads slightly as they saw this.

Crunch- bang!

The subtle sound of a blade being pulled out of a skull.

Maru, who had wiped the blood off Eclipse, waved his finger at the leader wolf.

[You. Come here.]

Yes? Me?
