Chapter 346. Revenge (2)
"Commander Jin, did you predict this too?"
No. Absolutely not.
On the battlefield, you plan for every hypothetical scenario and prepare accordingly, but you never actually think those things will happen.
Or more precisely, you pray they won't.
"It's not confirmed yet."
Е ṅ ûṁ а. і̀d̊
I was silently begging that it wasn't what it looked like.
Because if that thing was truly a Divine Spirit, we were truly fucked.

"......It's not, right?"
I turned to Yang Ja-pyeong, who had come to my side, and asked with all the desperation in my heart.
"......"
His lips were sealed tight, and they showed no sign of opening.
Én̆u mа .і d̊
"Yang...... sir?"
Why are your eyes shaking like that?
"Damn it all......"
Yang Ja-pyeong, snapping back to his senses at my cursing, delivered the killing blow of confirmation.

"It's the Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Bear."
The Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Bear.
Е̄ nu m̆а̀ ._і̌d
I couldn't say what the other Divine Spirits looked like, but compared to the Solar Monkey, the Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Bear's appearance was unremarkable.
Except for one thing.
"It's huge......"
Absurdly, monstrously huge.
When it had been crouching, it was the size of a house.
But when the beast rose to its feet—

"Shit......"
My neck kept craning back, higher and higher.
Well over two jang tall.
A body so thick it was impossible to fathom how much the thing ate in a day to maintain that mass.
Black claws the size of a heavy saber gleamed with an eerie luster at the tips of its paws, and from its eyes—devoid of any whites, unlike a human's—a faint killing light seeped and spread.
Among demonic beasts, creatures like lesser dragons or serpents that shed their skin growing to enormous sizes made a certain sense. But a mere bear, which didn't even molt its hide, possessing a frame this colossal was hard to believe.
Е ǹu m̀а..i̊ d̀
Beside me, Il-gak muttered to himself, sounding overwhelmed.
"Truly...... a marvel of nature."
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Was now really the time to be admiring it?
'Something's off.'
According to Yang Ja-pyeong, Divine Spirits were beings so rare you could wander the Black Forest your entire life and never find one.
They weren't called Divine Spirits for nothing.
Wëb n̆о v̈ѐ ĺ Е̊n̊um̆a
And yet the Solar Monkey had revealed itself, and now the Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Bear had appeared as well......
'This has to be connected to the Demonic Cult.'
At the very time the Demonic Cult had occupied the Black Forest, the Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Bear was blocking our path, practically radiating hostility.
Could anyone truly call that a coincidence?

I refused to believe I was just that unlucky. Shit, seriously.
"Wh-what are you going to do?"
Е̄ńū ma
Nam Hwa-seong's body trembled as he stared at the Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Bear without blinking.
"What do you mean, what am I going to do? We follow the plan."
"......"
Nam Hwa-seong's face turned the color of dung. Because he, too, was part of this operation.
"Yang, please lead the way."
"......Take care of yourself."

At my signal, the column began moving again.
The original plan was: the moment we spotted a Divine Spirit, designated personnel would strike first, then lure the creature as far from the group as possible.
"......"
But its sheer size, the aura it exuded—nothing about it suggested a preemptive strike would do the trick.
It had nothing to do with how much inner arts you possessed or how high your martial arts ranked. This was the primal fear of prey, overriding reason itself.
GRAAAAAAWR!
Ӗ n̄u mа . i d̆
A tremendous roar reverberated through the entire forest.
Those who had been creeping forward on careful feet froze involuntarily, stopping dead in their tracks, only to resume walking at a nudge from the person behind them.

"Get ready."
"B-but everyone's not assembled yet......"
"We need to draw it away from here first. How long do you plan to wait?"
The objective was solely to separate the Divine Spirit from the main column.
Е̊ n ú m̌а . ǐ d̄
This wasn't a situation for a leisurely hunt. With over half the unit wounded, the idea of taking down a Divine Spirit was absurd.
But could we even push that lumbering mass back? It seemed impossible.
Impossible or not, we had no choice.
"Hit it with everything on the first strike."

"......"
No one said a word, but I could feel them drawing up their inner arts.
E̊ n̄.úm̈а̇. і̂ d
White mist rose from Il-gak's shoulders as he pressed his palms together.
Everyone understood.
The moment that massive body went berserk, the casualties would be devastating.
"Ha...... this is insane......"
Dang Gi-han and Murong Jae-hwa, who had arrived late, stood slack-jawed at the sight of the Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Bear.
"B-Brother. How are you planning to fight that thing?"
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
I don't know.
I've never seen a bear like this before.
***
What's the defining difference between a Divine Spirit and an ordinary spiritual creature?
Based on my experience (one instance), the biggest difference was their intelligence.
My sample size was laughably small—nowhere near enough for a scholarly paper—but the evidence was right in front of me.
È nuḿ а̇ .ī d
Why was the bear sizing up the head and tail of our column, its eyes calculating the length of our formation?
"It's coming......"
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
"What? Not yet......"
"Get ready!"
Some seemed to be holding out hope that the bear might just watch and let us pass.
Let me say it again: do not treat that thing like a dumb animal.
W̃еb̆ñov̄еl Е̄n̆ ǔṁ а
The Solar Monkey had manipulated Natural Formations at will and could even speak.
GRAAAAAAAWRR!
Sure enough, the moment it spotted the wounded gathered in the Sixth Battalion, the bear charged.
"Everything you've got!"

RUMBLE......
I unleashed every ounce of Radiant Heaven Divine Palm I'd been storing.
Èn ù m̌а̄
BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-CRASH!
Nam Hwa-seong's Deer-Horn Iron Cloud Palm added its force, followed by Shaolin's Ultimate Art, the Great Strength Diamond Palm.
BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-CRASH!
And that wasn't all.
Once the real fight began, every member of the Special Operations Unit poured out their martial arts.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! BOOM-BOOM-CRASH!
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
At least with a target this large, aiming wasn't an issue.
The general sentiment was: just throw it and it'll hit something.
A torrent of force powerful enough to carve away a section of the forest swept through the area.
"Run!"
At the signal, the academy students who had been tiptoeing past broke into a desperate sprint.
Getting caught in the crossfire here would leave absolutely no way out.
Wе̄b̌n о̆ v̈ѐ l̀ Ӗ n um а
BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-CRASH!
A barrage of green-hued Three Yang Divine Palms followed, and from Murong Jae-hwa's hands, Heaven-Earth Eagle Palms shot forth.

The shockwaves were so massive that some passing students coughed blood as they ran.
The Special Operations Unit had no capacity to spare them a thought; every eye was locked on the Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Bear.
Shattered trees and heaped dirt had kicked up a thick cloud of dust in every direction.
With visibility obscured, the Earth Bear's condition was impossible to determine.
Wе bn o v́ е ĺ Ê.n u m̌ а
"I-is it dead?"
Along with Nam Hwa-seong's unlucky words, the unmistakable silhouette of the Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Bear appeared through the haze.
"Damn it all......"
Someone in the Special Operations Unit cursed, and the thoroughly enraged Earth Bear let out a tremendous roar.

GRAAAAAAAWRR!
When the dust settled, the Earth Bear's hide was covered in scratches—but not a single member of the unit took any joy in the sight.
Én ů m a .ĩd
Because not one of the wounds looked serious.
Still, I allowed myself a sliver of hope.
Unlike the Solar Monkey, it didn't appear to have any special abilities.
Then again, unlike fire, you couldn't exactly spit dirt......
Shit, it wasn't actually going to spit dirt, was it?
GRAAAAAWR!
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Had the wounds only stoked its fury?
The Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Bear suddenly raised one paw high.
'It can't reach us from there......'
The distance between the Earth Bear and the Special Operations Unit was too far for even that massive arm to bridge in a single swing.
And yet.
THOOM—
W̊ е.b nо vēl Е_nů m̊ǎ
The Earth Bear slammed its paw into the ground.
THOOM, THOOM—

Was it just trying to intimidate us? The thought barely formed before—
"WHAT IN THE—!!!!!"
The ground began to heave and buckle like ocean swells.
The overwhelming shockwave nearly knocked the soul out of me.
Е n̂ u m á .ì_d̃
The earth rolled like a river in a storm, surging past the Special Operations Unit and erupting through the column.
BOOM!
Cascading waves of dirt swallowed the academy students whole.
"GAAAH!"

"Wh-what is this?!"
"GHRKK......!"
Е n_ū m а
The column dissolved into chaos in an instant, and students scrambled frantically to dig out those buried beneath the dirt.
GRAAAAAAAWRR!
Meanwhile, the Earth Bear let loose a triumphant roar—and its body, too, had changed.
"B-Brother...... those wounds are......"
The scratches we had managed to inflict.
"......"

They were slowly mending themselves.
What the actual fuck.

GRAAAAAAAWRR!
THUD, THUD, THUD, THUD.
Its wounds restored, the Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Bear began to charge.
Wėb̃ ǹ ô v е ĺ Ě ň_um̃ а
"STOP IT!!!!"
Il-gak must have activated the Diamond Indestructible Divine Art—golden currents shimmered across his entire body.

Right, with a protective barrier that strong, even the Earth Bear's claws shouldn't be able to—
In that instant.
"Ha......"
Il-gak launched himself off the ground, rising to meet the Earth Bear at eye level, and the sight left me dumbfounded.
Е ṅ um̃a
What was he planning to do up there?
THWACK!
CRASH!
The bear swung its forepaw at Il-gak's airborne form, and the golden figure shot backward like an arrow.

"That...... useless......"
He'd been using the Diamond Indestructible Divine Art, so the injuries shouldn't be severe.
Еn̂.u.m̆а
I shouted at Nam Hwa-seong.
"Don't forget—that thing's body is three times our size!"
"Who do you think you're calling stupid?!"
The bald monk had been even stupider than Nam Hwa-seong.
Nam Hwa-seong wrapped himself in a protective barrier and latched onto the Earth Bear's foot.
The creature tried to shake off the nuisance clinging to its paw, but Nam Hwa-seong's body didn't budge.

"Don't underestimate the Three Origins Sect's Thousand-Jin Dro— GAAAARGH!"
Unable to shake him loose after several attempts, the Earth Bear simply slammed its foot into the ground with Nam Hwa-seong still attached.
THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD!
After pounding the earth several times with that colossal body—
CRUNCH.
A massive crater appeared in the hard-packed ground, and at the bottom of it lay only Nam Hwa-seong, who had lost his grip on the beast.
W̃ёb ń ǒv̀ ě l̊ Еňúm̄а
GRAAAAAAAWRR!
Having disposed of Nam Hwa-seong, the Earth Bear now descended upon the students struggling to dig themselves out of the dirt.

"AAAAAGH!"
"GHRKK!"
Every swipe of its paw, every step of its foot, added another corpse.
Flashing sword forms and Sword Qi struck its hide, but only left minor scratches. The Earth Bear didn't even flinch.
W еb.ǹ о̇ v̊ёl̈ Е̇ nů m̈а̌
TAP-TAP-TAP-TAP-TAP.
I sprinted toward the beast at full speed and launched myself off the ground.
The moment I reached exactly one jang above the Earth Bear's head, I activated the Thousand-Jin Drop along with Sword Force and drove my blade straight down.
SQUELCH.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Despite wielding Sword Force that should have cut through anything, I heard the sound of the blade forcing its way through flesh.
Catching it would have been a blessing—but the problem was that I heard the sound of flesh parting, not bone.
Ŵёb̂n о v е l Е̇n ùḿ ӑ
'It...... dodged?'
At the last instant, the Earth Bear had wrenched its head aside.
As a result, the Red Radiance Sword had only plunged somewhat deep into its shoulder.
GRAAAAAAAWRR!
The beast thrashed violently in pain.
In the midst of its convulsions, it extended its other paw—claws fully extended—toward me. I yanked the sword free and leapt high once more.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
By a razor-thin margin, those lethal claws swept just beneath my feet.
Its defenses were obscenely powerful, and blades barely penetrated its hide.
Its natural regeneration was absurd—wounds closed almost as soon as they appeared.
Worse, the beast seemed to trust its own recovery, ignoring the formidable Special Operations Unit entirely and raining one-sided attacks on the wounded.
'This isn't working...... I need another way......'
In that instant, I caught a glimpse of the beast's blood-filled eyes.
W̃е̄ b̂ ň оve l̊ Еn̂ūm.а̂
And the moment its paw came swinging down—
I drew upon the Yang-Style Qi Arts gained from capturing the Solar Monkey and activated the Thousand-Jin Drop again.

THWACK-THWACK-THWACK-THWACK-THWACK-THWACK-THWACK-THWACK!
Scorching heat rained down like a storm, igniting the Earth Bear's fur and filling the air with a rank stench.
Burns seemed to hurt it far more than blade cuts—the beast flailed its paws wildly.
I threaded through its claws by the slimmest margin, landed on the ground, slipped between its legs to its back, then fired a Flying Dragon Claw to scale its body from behind.
Ӗ ñŭ m а̂ . іd̈
Then—
CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE.
Both palms brimming with Solar Qi, I seared both of its eyes.
GRAAAAAAAAAWRR!

Howling in more agony than ever, the Earth Bear cupped both paws over its eyes.
Seizing the opening, I wound the Flying Dragon Claw tight around its neck and sprinted backward at full force.
Ĕnû m̈ а̊. і̃d̈
Then, using the Thousand-Jin Drop, I began dragging the Earth Bear away.
"Now! Hit it!!"
Palm force erupted from every direction once more, and the Earth Bear—still clutching its eyes—slowly began to slide toward me.
Yet even so, it barely moved from where it stood.
Just then, from within the forest, a devastating palm strike slammed into the creature.
DOOOONG—
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
A deep vibration hummed through the air, as if a great bell had been struck.
"......Earth Bear, I cannot treat you as a mere animal."
Il-gak's dry gaze drifted from the mounds of dirt to the students who had died beneath them.
"A carnivore only hunts when it's hungry."
His clasped hands parted, alternating strikes at the Earth Bear.
DOOOONG—

DOOOONG—
With every motion of his hands, the heavy toll of the bell spread outward, and the Earth Bear—which had been immovable as a mountain—began to slide backward.

The Earth Bear resisted, but with its paws clamped over its eyes, it could do nothing but be pushed farther and farther back.

DOOOONG—
DOOOONG—
At last, the Earth Bear's massive body was driven well clear of the column.
Golden Fist Force coalesced around Il-gak's clenched fists.

THWACK-THWACK-THWACK-THWACK-THWACK-THWACK-THWACK—!
It couldn't compare to the Ten Thousand Transformations Invincible Fist, but with every punch Il-gak threw, the Earth Bear's flesh burst apart from two jang away.
W еb́ n õv̄ ӗl̃ .Е nu m а̀
For the first time, the Earth Bear shed massive amounts of blood and lost chunks of flesh.
Seizing the opening, Dang Gi-han drove poison-coated throwing daggers into the open wounds.
"HRAAAH!"
And finally, I swung my Sword Force at the beast's arm, trying to sever it.
THWACK!
But even though the flesh was gouged deep enough to expose bone, the bone itself would not yield.

GRRRRRRR......
Just as something felt wrong—
"......"
My gaze met the eyes of the Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Bear—the same eyes I had seared with fire.
WHOOSH—
It was nothing more than a casual swipe.

THWACK!
My entire body shook as if every organ had been struck at once.

I smashed through two trees before skidding to a halt and kicked off the ground to stand.
"BLEGH."
Blood surged up my throat.
I'd been wrapped in a protective barrier, and yet—
Е̇n̈ u_mа
......How had Il-gak and Nam Hwa-seong survived this?
Suppressing the internal injuries that threatened to turn me inside out, I charged back toward the Earth Bear.
Praying that what I'd seen at the last moment wasn't real.
GRAAAAAAAAAWRR—

The Earth Bear let out a ferocious roar of intimidation, and its eyes—
had fully regenerated.
Ѐn̊ ûm̂ а̄_. і̀ d̄
What kind of regeneration was this?
"Shit...... are you a Corpse Puppet or something?"
Even the wounds the entire Special Operations Unit had inflicted with every drop of their inner arts were healing before our eyes.
"......"
The expressions on the unit's faces crumbled.
The same went for the academy students still digging the wounded out of the dirt.

"H-how...... do you fight that......"
"What even is that thing......"
The absolute, insurmountable gap in power left everyone frozen stiff.
Damn. I didn't want to take a risk this big.
CLICK.
I sheathed the Red Radiance Sword and pulled the Special Operations Unit back.
Е̌ nu m̆ а_. і̂d̀
"From now on, prioritize digging out the people buried in the dirt!"
"C-Commander Jin?"

"Now!"
The unit members who had been squaring off against the Earth Bear began reluctantly backing away.
GRAAAAAAAWRR!
The beast must have thought it had won—it lunged toward the students again.

RUMBLE......
I unleashed the Radiant Heaven Divine Palm straight at it.
BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-CRASH!
Before the palm force could dissipate, I drew up the Holy Flame Demon-Extinguishing Hand and executed the Ten Thousand Transformations Invincible Fist.

BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-CRASH!
My qi center drained dry in an instant.
Е̂ñ u m̂а . і d
Flames engulfed the Earth Bear's entire body.
But.
"Shit......"
Amid the acrid smoke, the flames gradually subsided.
The damage healed, erasing even the traces of burns.
Even so, I couldn't stop.

I spared one brief glance toward the buried students, then climbed up the Earth Bear's body and wound the Flying Dragon Claw taut around its neck.
"Commander Jin! We've rescued everyone!"
"Then move! Now!"
"But......"
"That's an order! Hurry!"
The moment I shouted, the students carrying the rescued wounded began evacuating the area.

In the meantime, I activated the Azure Dragon Bracelet at full power.
'With regeneration that strong, at least it won't be mummified.'

Using the Azure Dragon Bracelet in front of this many people was an extremely dangerous gamble.
But I couldn't think of any other option.
"Let's see who outlasts who!"
Through the Azure Dragon Bracelet, a torrent of Internal Qi flooded into my qi center.
W̊êb́ nov̈ е l Е́ňũmа
A tidal wave of energy so immense that every last meridian, from the Eight Extraordinary Meridians to the finest blood vessels, felt ready to burst.

"Nngh...... urgh......"
The veins across my face and body swelled as if they might rupture.

How staggeringly powerful this creature was—my qi center, which had exceeded Five Cycles, filled to capacity almost instantly.
"GAAAAAARGH!"
Wѐbn о̆_v̀ е.l̀. Е ń u mа
There was a time I'd thought the Azure Dragon Bracelet made me invincible against any foe. Fighting Je Geum-hak had cured me of that delusion.
It had been nothing but arrogance.
My qi center, my blood meridians, my qi meridians—all had their limits.
The human body was not made of black iron.
Energy absorbed too violently would ultimately consume the body.
The energy rose, and every drop was expelled the moment it filled.

The Holy Flame Demon-Extinguishing Hand, the Void-Annihilation Fist—anything that could deal damage, I poured it all out.
How fortunate that the beast didn't belch fire from its whole body like the Solar Monkey had.
GRAAAAAAAAAWRR!
The Earth Bear shrieked in agony, but I was hardly in better shape.
Not just my qi center—every blood meridian in my body swelled to the brink of bursting, then contracted with whiplash speed.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
Еñ ŭ m а̄ .і d
The Earth Bear tried to shake me off. When that failed, it began rolling in every direction, smashing its body into the massive trees.
"GHRKK!"

Another bucketful of blood came pouring from my mouth.
I tried to release the Flying Dragon Claw and break free, but—
"Damn......"
Somewhere during all the rolling, the Heavenly Silkworm Thread had tangled and wouldn't come loose.
Е_ñ ǔ mа̇
No need to panic. Just regulate the inner arts calmly......
THUD! THUD! THUD!
The Earth Bear didn't give me the chance—it rolled across the ground again.
With my hands bound tight by the Flying Dragon Claw, I couldn't separate from its body.

I reactivated the Azure Dragon Bracelet and channeled the absorbed Internal Qi into the Holy Flame Demon-Extinguishing Hand.
The Earth Bear's freshly regenerated flesh met the Holy Flame once more, and the beast shrieked as though it would lose its mind.

Then again, if someone kept scorching the skin off my skull, I'd go mad too.
While it was dazed with pain, I worked my way toward its head.
CRACK.
I tore away the charred, shriveled skin to reveal a black skull beneath.
Shit, was that bone or steel?
THOOM—
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
THOOM—
No matter how many times I hammered the Holy Flame Demon-Extinguishing Hand against the bone, it showed no sign of cracking.
'Is this the limit......?'
I could hardly believe it, but I felt as though just a little more would be enough.
My qi center had plenty of inner force left, but somehow my arms refused to obey.
If only someone could land one solid blow......

"Someone, over here......"
I turned my head, and all that remained were lifeless corpses.

Right. I'd told everyone to flee when I used the Azure Dragon Bracelet.
I needed to flee too, but......
Untangling the Heavenly Silkworm Thread was proving far from simple, and even if I managed it, an Earth Bear pushed to the brink of rage wasn't going to let me walk away.
I abandoned that hope.

If I were the Earth Bear, I'd chase the bastard to the ends of the earth and tear him apart, even if it cost me an arm.
In the end, either my blood meridians would be shredded beyond repair and I'd die from exhaustion—or the Earth Bear's regeneration would run dry and it would die.
But the Earth Bear didn't look like it was going to die first.
See? Its flesh was already regenerating again as I watched.

All I could do was pray the Life-or-Death Unit escaped in time.
At least while I kept the Earth Bear pinned down......

"Commander Jin!"
Just then, the voice of Il-gak—who was supposed to have evacuated with the wounded—reached my ears.
Hm?
I barely managed to turn my head, and there was one gleaming bald head sprinting toward me.
'Stubborn bastard never listens.'
But thank god for that.

A grin slipped out, and I quickly turned back to the Earth Bear.
It had grown somewhat gaunt, but it was far from mummified.
At least he wouldn't suspect the Great Star-Absorbing Art.
"Il-gak! Hundred-Step Divine Fist!!"
"Wh-what?"
"The skull! Just crack the skull!"

No ordinary martial art would be able to break it.
The Holy Flame Demon-Extinguishing Hand hadn't even left a mark, no matter how many times I'd struck.

In that regard, how fortunate that the one who never listened happened to be Il-gak.
Shaolin's Seventy-Two Ultimate Arts would deliver more than enough destructive force.
"But......"
I knew what was making him hesitate.

But now was not the time.
"Hurry up, you bald monk!!!"
Il-gak's hesitant expression hardened into something deadly serious.
Then his robes swelled as if about to burst.

While I trembled with anxiety—

The fist projection left a trail like a meteor and fell.
It struck the Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Bear's skull dead-on.
CRAAAAAASH——
The staggering impact nearly yanked my body backward, but the Heavenly Silkworm Thread anchoring me in place prevented any mishap.
"Commander Jin, did it work?"
At Il-gak's exhausted inquiry, a grin of triumph spread across my face before I could stop it.

CRACK—
A small fissure had appeared in the skull that had seemed harder than steel.

You disobedient bald monk.
"For once, you're actually useful."
I gathered every last shred of strength and drove my hand deep into the crack.
