RUST -865

At the same time that the monster bear fell into the trap, the pyrotechnician created flames.

“Blow!”

A loud explosion erupted inside the trap, like a thunderclap. Flames and black smoke billowed out along with a huge shock wave.

“Wow!”

“Got it!”

People who had been hiding gathered in groups of three or four to the scene.

“Did you catch it?”

“You saw the explosion.”

“Even if it was a monster, it died.”

“If it becomes a complete fire pit, how can you survive?”

They caught a monster bear that didn’t even die from Javelin missiles. People applauded the people who came out to catch the monster bear, including the pyrotechnicians.

“Wow!”

The flame user and his party, who had become heroes, pretended to be proud.

“Okay, we can do it.”

“Lure the bears, catch them, and rebuild the city…”

And at that moment, a howl erupted.

Choooooooooooooooooooooooo—–

A roar so powerful that it shook the raging flames.

People who approached the trap to check if the bear was dead either fainted or collapsed. People who panicked at just one roar.

“Eww!”

“I’m not dead!”

“Run away!”

“My legs. My legs won’t move!”

“Save me!”

“Let’s go together!”

People were lying on the floor, squirming, as if their legs had given out. Some collapsed and began to tremble as if they were having heart attacks.

“Shoot!”

“Not yet. He’s still a trap!”

The Ability Forces concentrated their fire on the shadow of the bear struggling to escape from the trap. Starting with the 12.7mm machine gun, the Javelin with only a few rounds left fired.

As if that wasn’t enough, he threw grenades and explosives like C4 at it, but the bear’s movements in the fire pit became stronger and stronger.

“FUC—–”

The head of the swearing physical ability user was blown off by a flaming rock. The bear had kicked the rock with its front paw while inside the pit.

“Don’t go near the pit.”

“He throws debris.”

The pyrotechnician aimed at the bear’s shadow several times and blew up fireworks.

“Blow!”

“Blow!”

Even if you risk going near the burning pit and use your powers, the bear’s shadow remains intact.

Why? It’s no use?

You clearly focused the flames on the bear’s head?

Wow wow wow wow wow—

The bear’s roar, which had become even more powerful, made the bodies of the fire ability user and his party freeze. As if aiming for that, the blackly burning bear jumped out of the fire pit.

“no!”

The burning bear’s forepaw swept the surroundings.

Black smoke was rising here and there in Montreal.

In a place where the temperature fluctuates between -60 and -70 degrees Celsius, there are fires in many places at the same time… There can only be one reason. When you get a good pack, you want to shake it up. Now that your ability has been awakened, there must have been more people who wanted to fight the bear.

‘It seems too urgent.’

The bear that was caught last time was no joke. Even back then, it was a bear that showed fighting power that could match the main battle tanks. But now, it’s been over a year since then. The bear that survived in the wild for so long has eaten humans and has undergone secondary mutations.

‘Whether it’s a bomb trap or a fire trap, it looks like it’d be hard to catch with just that.’

Judging from the flames shooting out from three places at the same time, it seemed like the fire abilities users were each carrying out their operations simultaneously. It was a strategy that would allow them to take out three bears at once and secure the human territory.

It would be great if it succeeded, but what if it failed? What would happen if people with powers, including those with flame powers, fell prey to the bear one after another?

If it mutated just by eating ordinary people, what if it ate multiple people with powers? It was difficult to predict what would happen since it was already a dangerous monster.

So I was going there myself.

Tsk-

Maru thought that he had to deal with the urgent matters first. If he had been able to use the assistant AI, it would have analyzed the priorities automatically.

Maru manipulated the panel to deploy the stealth drone.

‘Is the gas station closest?’

The nearest fire scene was a gas station. They had blown up the gas station to hunt the bear. The bear, engulfed in flames, went berserk and ran wild, turning the area into a sea of ​​fire.

‘This is ridiculous.’

It was a monster bear that was blazing hot and would scurry around in all directions. It was even difficult to get close to it because sparks were flying near the burning bear.

Looking closely, I saw that these ability users were throwing out ordinary people as bait and running away. The enraged bear was biting, tearing, and chewing the bait.

‘Pass the gas station.’

The airship continues to move towards the scene that the heart warned of.

‘No one else has made such a sound.’

It would be right to catch the bear that lets out a roar similar to killing it first.

Footage from stealth drones and stratospheric multipurpose airships appeared on the monitor.

[Koooooooooooooooo—-]

At the same time as the roar, the bear in the video jumps out of a deep trap, and then a scene follows where it sweeps away a group of frozen power users with its flaming front paws.

Even though they had only touched the front legs, the corpses were torn into four or five pieces and scattered in all directions. People who had lost their minds at the horrific sight collapsed on the spot.

pop-!

Bam-!

Phew!

A bear strides towards the people who are sitting down. In an instant, the bear’s head, which was on fire, flashed and sparks began to fly continuously.

[Stop!]

[Blast!]

[Explode!]

[Run away!]

The bear also roared at the cry of the pyrotechnician desperately trying to burst out flames.

[Kwaaaaaaaaaaah!]

The flame user who had stretched out his right hand and aimed it at the bear’s head froze for a moment. Then, as if using a shrinking technique, the bear rushed in and ate the flame user’s upper body in one bite.

Crunch- crunch-

As the blood droplets fell as he chewed, they began to melt the snow and ice like lava. At that scene, Maru’s heart began to sound alarmed again.

Thump- thump-

The bear’s mood in the video began to change.

Cheeeeeeek-

Saliva flowed out of his snout like hot lava, burning into his eyes and creating steam.

Krrrrrr-

A white aura that bursts out with every rough breath.

Breathing that burns brightly as if ignoring the temperature of -60 to -70 degrees Celsius.

And then, red-hot flames began to flutter across the blackened hide like fur. It looked like fur made of flames.

The bear was mutating in real time.

Thump- thump-

My heart, which had been beating softly, began to beat more and more strongly.

At that moment, when Maru’s emotions were slightly shaken by the trembling, the small deaths that had bloomed in the air instantly turned into vines and slowly stretched out towards Newclips.

Inhale- inhale-

Swish-s …

Stop. Go away. Not yet.

The long, stretched out vines of death transformed into black particles and melted into the air. Nuclipse, who was almost caught up in the vines of death, froze stiffly. He firmly maintained the concept of ‘I am a sword.’, ‘I am just a sword.’

“I can see you’re aiming for it as soon as you come out. I don’t think it’ll be of any use even if you pretend not to know.”

[······.]

Newclips had no response.

“You saw the video. That burning bear over there is our opponent this time. The bear that roared. You can eat its head, but don’t touch the other one.”

[······.]

Maru warned as he descended with his New Clips in his hand.

“If you don’t do it right, you’ll end up with a bullet.”

‧

The bear, who had been caught in a trap and whose entire body was on fire, felt the pain disappearing. The skin that had been sizzling in the hot flames was now covered with burning fur.

Is it because you eat a human who can handle fire?

The bear began to devour the corpses on the ground. All of them smelled different from a normal human. A dangerous smell.

That’s why when these kinds of people gathered around, he would pass by without hunting them. Then, this is what the humans did. They dared to hunt him.

Krrrrrr-

The more I ate the chopped up humans, the hotter my whole body became. It felt like a fire was burning in my stomach. The dangerous smell turned into a sweet smell, and I thought that the more I ate sweet humans, the stronger I would become.

Cheeeeeeek-

Hot veins. Burning heart. Boiling saliva. The burning bear began to burn itself. The flickering flames melted the snow and ice, and the cold air became hot.

The bear could tell.

That I don’t have to hibernate anymore.

The more humans you eat, the stronger you become.

And it works even better if you eat a sweet-smelling human.

Sniff- sniff-

The bear, with its stuffy nose, frowned as the toxic smoke from the burning trap and the thick smell of blood splattered everywhere. A human voice could be heard in the bear’s ear, as a displeased expression appeared on its face, as if it were frowning.

“Hey. What kind of bear is making a face like a person? Isn’t that right?”

[······.]

The red droplets of blood on the bear’s snout, which had suddenly turned its head, fell, mixing with the hot saliva. Drop- drop- splatter- A human figure was visible through the rising steam.

There was no fear in the human eyes that looked at him with white claws raised.

The bear was annoyed by the calm human.

Prey and such.

How dare you!

Be afraid!

Shake in fear!

Oh my god!

A roar filled with emotions welling up in his stomach echoed. The bear looked at the human with his white claws raised as the roar grew stronger.

Will it fall down?

Or else I’ll collapse.

Did he die while standing?

Ugh-

The bear licked its nose and snout with its long tongue and what was reflected in its eyes was a normal human being.

Huh?

“This kid really uses things that are similar to killing.”

The white claw the human was holding swung. The bear instinctively felt a creepiness and dodged its front paw.

The burning space was suddenly swallowed up, and part of the leather on the front paw was torn off. Hot blood flowed like lava along the wound, and the torn flesh was instantly cauterized and the bleeding stopped.

A human being who suddenly approaches at that moment.

A burning space. A human was seen digging into the heat where the hot air seemed to burn his lungs.

Roll, roll.

The bear rolled over onto its back. In an instant, it retreated 20 meters, then turned around and started to run away.

I could tell by the torn front paws on the white claws. It wasn’t something I could fight with right now.

It had a human shape, but it wasn’t human. When I dug inside, the smell I got wasn’t sweet. It didn’t smell human either.

That’s it.

‧

“······.”

[······.]

Maru was dumbfounded by the sight of the bear dodging the knife with a move that seemed like something out of an animal circus, rolling over to create some distance, and then running away without looking back.

With such a large body, it started to run like a car, and it was absurd to see it nimbly ride over the fallen debris and escape.

Thump- thump-

Maru grabbed Newclips with a small warning that he shouldn’t just leave it alone. He swung his front paw as if he was going to tear it off, but he dodged.

Even if it was dodged, the problem is that it ended with only a wound, rather than the fact that it should have ripped off the front leg as Newclips was tearing and devouring space.

“Is it defensive? Or is it resistance?”

[······.]

Maru, who was launched into the air with a jetpack, looked for the bear that had escaped. In that short time, the bear that had escaped far away was visible.

Black smoke was rising in the direction the bear was fleeing.

Directions to the gas station?

Aren’t the bears fighting over territory?

So, don’t they try to avoid overlapping areas as much as possible?

Are you just passing the buck?

This is ridiculous.

The bullet shot towards the bear’s back as it ran away with its tail pulled out. Even if it ran at close to 100 km/h, it couldn’t beat the speed of the jetpack.

As Maru, who had caught up in an instant, stabbed the bear with his Nuclipse, aiming for its neck and spine, the bear, sensing something following it in the air, instantly dodged by running in a zigzag pattern.

What makes you dodge and run away so well?

Puhwaaaaaaaaaa—–

The jetpack reached top speed and overtook the bear. Maru, who activated the stealth function, detached the jetpack and fell from the air.

The bear, who had missed the rippling space, ran straight towards where Maru was hiding. As he headed towards where Maru was hiding, the bear felt something ominous.

Kreung?

The bear stopped trying to resist the ominousness, but it was already too late.

Kwajik-

The moment the bear’s front paw, which had been stretched out to stop its run, was torn off, the bear counterattacked into the rippling space. Thud- The price for biting the air was his right eye gouged out.

Oh my god!

The bear reared up and roared. The eyes that had settled on the ground rose in a mixture of anger and fear, but the swordsmanship of the floor did not stop.

Kwajik-

When the ankle tendon in its left hind leg was severed, the bear’s body, which had been standing on two feet, collapsed.

!!!

The bear rolled around in a circle before its right hind leg was attacked, using its thick back hide and the still burning flames to press down on its surroundings.

But even that desperate defense didn’t work on Maru. Maru started to insert his Nuclipse into the gaps between the thick bear skin.

One bite. Two bites.

Fatal parts were cut out, split, and torn.

The bear suddenly felt his blood vessels, which had been burning hot, cool down. His burning heart began to lose its warmth. His skin, which had been glowing with flames, had now turned into a sticky, bloody mess and began to cool down.

Ah. I’m dying.

I couldn’t die like this.

I don’t know what this is, but I can’t die alone like this.

Khuuuuuuu-

The bear’s neck was torn off as it roared with the last of its strength, and its final roar died down.

“It’s tough. I told you you could eat the head. Why didn’t you eat it?”

[······.]

Maru chuckled at Newclips’s response, “I’m just a sword. I don’t know about that.”

At the same time, another bear’s roar rose from the direction of the gas station. It was a roar of anger mixed with anger at being invaded by its territory.

This is it.

Maru shook his head.

Ooooooh-

Ms. Kim ran into the restaurant with shining eyes.

“It’s a special dish!”
