RUST -590

If we only consider the weak points of a beast’s head, there are two major weak points.

Eyes and nose.

The mutant monster’s eyes had a protective covering called eyelids, but its nose, which had to be kept moist and soft at all times, was always exposed.

The more sensitive an animal’s sense of smell is, the more sensitive its nose is. So when beasts fight each other, one of the places they aim for is the bridge of the nose.

!!!

In that way, Maru poked and stabbed the monster bear’s nostrils, and then cut them out, and fell down. The bear, who had been proudly opening its mouth, saying that it had caught him, ended up suffering the pain of having its nostrils torn.

What was even more horrifying was what happened after the torn floor was lowered while spraying napalm grenades to stop the monster bear’s regenerative powers.

Flames shot out of the torn nose and snout as the napalm grenade exploded. The nose, baked to a crisp at temperatures exceeding 1,500 degrees, was rendered unable to smell.

The upper part of the mouth, which was torn long enough to reveal the teeth, was also roasted in the sticky flames, transforming into a hideous appearance.

Kuooook!!!

The bear struck down with its front paw to catch the human who had caused it terrible pain.

Front paws swung as if swatting away a fly stuck to the face.

Maru didn’t try to resist, but instead relaxed his body and shifted his center of gravity in the direction of the light swing.

Just like before, the front legs swung at a speed close to the speed of sound, creating a gust of wind. Maru, who had climbed onto the wind without going against it, naturally flew up and stably maintained his center of gravity in the air.

Boom!

The bear shuddered in pain again as he struck the injured snout with his forepaw.

Ugh! Ugh!

Maru landed safely while the bear thrashed around, slashing at his face, and went into the attempt to cut the hind leg tendons that he had initially failed at.

When the 12.7mm bullet hit the Eclipse, the impact was converted into a blade of sonic waves.

A shadow leaps forward before the vibrations die down. The shadow of death aims for the monster bear’s hind legs. A decisive blow aimed at the monster bear when it is absent-minded.

‘Got it.’

Contrary to Maru’s inner thoughts, before Eclipse could even reach him, the bear’s hind legs began to swing towards the sky.

?

The sight of the huge creature doing a handstand with both front feet on the ground and its hind feet in the air was a circus act in itself.

▭▭▭▭▭▭▭▭▭▭▭▭▭▭▭▭

Eclipse tore through the air with her amazing agility, but Maru did not give up.

I squeezed my thigh and waist muscles and twisted my ankles to make a U-turn, and I saw the shape of a bear’s buttocks rolling down after doing a handstand.

Ppoduk-

The dash continued, ignoring the sounds of twisted muscles and writhing joints.

A large chrysanthemum blooming between the lush valleys came into view. A ridge with an eclipse pierced its center.

Eclipse, which was incredibly soft for a tough and hard mutant bear body part, entered. Chrysanthemum flinched and red liquid sprayed out.

Kkkk …

As I rolled my body while falling, the blade that was stuck in my body tore and cut the chrysanthemum.

Root-

Ppujijik-

A sensation ran through my hands, as if I was cutting armor made of a new material rather than the hide of an animal.

Strong resilience felt in Eclipse that can even cut steel.

The feeling of cutting chewy jelly with a plastic spoon.

The blade of the knife that cut the chrysanthemum eventually reached the pocket of the root beneath the chrysanthemum.

Eclipse visits the pocket of origin that holds the fragile and small things preciously.

Khuu …

As the blade that had torn through the chrysanthemum reached the precious pouch, the bear let out a scream of pleading, but Maru was nowhere to be found.

Suguguguk-

Ting- Ting-

Maru, who had placed a napalm grenade in a split chrysanthemum, also presented a napalm grenade in his round pocket.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The 1,500-degree napalm grenade that exploded inside was not something even a mutated bear could withstand. The bear’s entire body trembled as it collapsed.

A vague, almost sobbing tremble.

Maru, who had been persistently aiming for the moment when the pain could no longer be endured and a groan mixed with sobs, finally cut the tendons in the hind legs.

A monster bear that cannot fight back even though the tendons in its hind legs are severed, perhaps because of the burning chrysanthemums and pouch.

Just like when he was first attacked by the mine module, he curled up into a ball and silently endured the stabbing of the floor.

[now!!!]

At Maru’s signal, a Taurus-based cruise missile targeted the bear. The cruise missile, which came in at a speed of nearly 900 km, made a nice landing on the bear’s torso.

The bunker buster warhead, which penetrated a 6-7m thick reinforced concrete bunker, dug into the bear’s hide and exploded inside.

The hole swelled and burst out with chunks of meat, bone, flames, and smoke. But the monster bear did not die.

No. I couldn’t die.

Maru approached the monster bear, which could not die even though its spine was broken and its internal organs were destroyed due to the curse of super regeneration.

The once plump bear was becoming emaciated in real time. Its once-shiny hide had lost its luster and became as dry as straw, and its once-dense hide, like bulletproof material, had lost its elasticity and began to sag.

‘Are you using all your energy for regeneration?’

The bear, unable to twist its body even as death approached, opened its large eyes and looked at the floor. Was the look in those eyes filled with resentment? Pleading? Or fear?

Ignoring that gaze, Maru lightly climbed onto the bear’s nape and fired a bullet at Eclipse. Eclipse’s sharp resonance was sharpened by the blade of sound waves.

Woooooooooooooooo—-

cook-

The tip of the blade digs deep.

Eclipse, which had been vibrating and thirsting for blood, closed its mouth.

Sugeuk—

The feeling in my hand was different from the first time. Eclipse, which was gently inserted like cutting a cake, began to greedily cut the bear’s neck.

□□□□□□-□□—-□—–

A soft, groan-like sound began to resonate.

The hollow sound that had been spreading across the floor finally ceased after the monster’s neck was severed and half of its head was blown off.

======

======

Maru’s hunt had a lot to say.

It was proof that even modern weapons could be effective. It required a level of firepower that could be called excessive firepower, but it was effective as long as it hit.

[Chijijijik- But if you hit it once, you can kill it with an additional attack. Beep-]

The problem was how to immobilize the monster. Maru’s body was only one, and since he had used all his power in that short battle, it was impossible to continuously roll Maru, who had spread out after being injected with a neutralizer.

It was Maru who took away the monster’s motor skills so that the cruise missile could hit it, and it was Maru who cut off the monster’s head while it was regenerating through super recovery, but it was also true that the Bunker Buster cruise missile worked.

[Beep- I won’t act so recklessly anymore, just like you said. Cheeeee- Those who were going to run away after seeing the bear drop a missile will keep their mouths shut. Chijiik]

The soldiers became keenly aware of the dangers of monsters and were able to see for themselves that modern weapons were effective. They were no longer swayed by vague fears or terrors.

Even though it was the result of excessive firepower with bunker buster cruise missiles, it was important that they were able to fight. Because it proved that they could fight back by any means.

[Chiiik- Is this what you were aiming for? Chiiiik-]

“It’s obvious what you’re aiming for.”

Those who had been relying on the power of King Vladimir Kalin and had been insisting on fighting without thinking would have changed their minds. Likewise, those who thought that they had to run away unconditionally would have decreased.

[Chiiikchiii- Is that so? But it’s hard for it to go your way. Chiiik-]

“What are you talking about?”

The fight with the monster bear was definitely a struggle.

Who knew a crazy bear could do a handstand to avoid being hit by a hind leg?

If I hadn’t seen the end at that time, I don’t know how it would have gone.

What would have happened if the unstoppable guy had run towards Kim Yang and his bodyguards?

What if you went to the rear where the regular soldiers were gathered?

What if he ran away like a bear over the hill?

What could have happened?

That is why the image of Maru fighting the monster bear with only a sword was engraved in the hearts of the soldiers who saw it.

[Chiiik- Even if you don’t want to be the King of Heroes. Chiiiik- To the soldiers- Beep- It means you are already the King of Heroes. Chiiiik-]

“···Alright. What happened to Miss Kim? What about the bear that escaped?”

[Beep- Some kind of bear ran around, and it just flew at a nonstop speed of 80-90 km/h. Beep- We’ll have to take an airship to catch it. Chijik- He told me to take all the tanks and armored personnel carriers. Chijik- I can’t take both airships. I just attached a crow scout for now. Chiik-]

“He’s a pain in the ass. That aside, he came down with the bear cub.”

[Chik- It seems like you can’t give up because of the food for your young ones. Chiik-]

The mother was greedy as she watched her chicks grow healthily and grow stronger as they were fed humans. Up until now, they had never been hurt by human claws, teeth, guns, grenades, or explosives.

The mother did not back down despite the distant explosions and the acrid smell of napalm. The ceaseless explosions and flames were proof that many people were resisting.

The males could fight the humans and make their way south, or they could avoid it and avoid it.

Since they fought with the males, the damage to the humans would be great. If they attacked there, they would be able to easily get their prey. The mother seemed to think so.

[Chiik- So, we sent Kim Yang and the guards over there. Beep- Shouldn’t we teach humanity a lesson? Beep-]

The lesson is that what you do for your children can end up killing them.

Kurrurururur–

The HOLLY Leo tank, a modified Leopard 2 tank that Canada had in its possession, ran at high speed. Its movements were too light for its heavy weight.

It looked like a Leopard in appearance, but it was actually a completely different tank, as the tracks were replaced from metal to a monster by-product alloy, and even the armor and engine were modified.

The weight, which had reached 67 tons, was reduced to 57 tons despite the increased defense, and the weight was reduced by 10 tons, and the existing 1,500 horsepower engine was reprocessed with Sacred Kingdom technology to increase horsepower to a whopping 2,200.

This gave it an insane maneuverability of a top speed of 92 km/h and a top reverse speed of 62 km/h. Of course, the speed on unpaved roads was low, but its tremendous maneuverability was on a different level from existing tanks.

On top of the tram, which was speeding down the road toward the scene where the mother bear and her cubs were, were Kim Yang and her guards.

[Chijijik- Aim for the chick. Then the mother won’t be able to escape easily. Chiiik-]

Kim Yang coldly scoffed at Gi-sun’s words.

[Humans abandon their own young, so how could a mutated bear be any different?]

Isn’t that right? Although she says she’s cold-hearted, in Kim Yang’s eyes, Ki-sun is still innocent.

If you’ve ever lived in the Chinese border region or wandered the back alleys of Shanghai, you’ve probably realized that motherhood is more precious than you think.

Ki-sun did not object to Kim Yang’s response. This was because he knew that there were cases where an extremely hungry bear would eat its own cubs.

[Chi-ik- That’s why the beginning is important. Chik- If a mother bear feels her life is in danger, she might run away. The beginning is important. Chijik-]

The idea is to lure the mother bear into charging at you head-on by pretending to target her cubs, and then subdue her in one fell swoop with concentrated fire, or at least take away her mobility.

Even if the suppression fails, it is a strategy that can be solved by taking away the mobility with bunker buster cruise missiles.

[Okay.]

Kim Yang answered coolly. As the armored personnel carrier, which was a modified wheeled armored vehicle, and the Sacred Leo tank approached within 3km of the cub, the mother bear raised her body toward the tank and the armored vehicle.

Although she was clearly smaller than the male, perhaps because she was a female, she would have been about 12 to 13 meters tall when standing on two feet.

All the mother bear could smell through her moist nose was the smell of metal and exhaust fumes from the cans the humans were riding in.

Khuuuung-

Although it was hidden by the coniferous forest, there wasn’t much metal. The human scent wasn’t over 100. The female looked at the babies playing with each other and thought for a moment.

Kiing-

Kiing-

The kids whined that they were hungry after playing to their heart’s content.

Okay, Mom will be home soon with dinner. Just stay here and wait.

The mother bear started running in the direction where Miss Kim was.
