The brown bear may have been controlled by the bat demon’s flesh at first.
But after getting a taste for it, it actively began hunting humans.
Once a wild beast discovers that humans can be treated as prey, it will immediately add this two-legged creature—plentiful in meat and not particularly fast—to its diet.
Modern humans no longer have the endurance and wildness of the past, and are simply no match for fierce beasts.
The bat demon’s flesh created these two monstrous creatures, one big and one small.
Su Fan didn’t mind killing them off while he was already dealing with the demons.
And that piece of flesh was at this moment racing down the esophagus—not yet fully destroyed by Su Fan—toward the bear’s intestines and stomach.
Like a winding, swiftly slithering black snake.
And it was at that very instant that the brown bear’s throat erupted with a roar of pain and fury!
In the night sky, a mist mixed with blood formed a ribbon in the air!
The moonlight itself seemed to have been dyed red!
The roar, carrying a primal, savage scent, awakened the memories buried deep in almost everyone’s bloodline.
Their legs gave way and they collapsed to the ground, looking back in panic, fearing the giant bear would come after them.
But what they saw was the small-mountain-sized giant bear, its body rolling uncontrollably to the side, slamming heavily into a redwood tree.
Meanwhile, the black-haired Asian young man stood completely unharmed in place!
Everyone was bewildered, not knowing what had happened—only Jacob had witnessed everything from start to finish.
As the sole witness to it all, this Quileute young man was in a state no different from being struck by lightning.
But he had no idea that something even more unbelievable was still to come!
In the forest shrouded by night, a faint thread of spiritual light appeared out of thin air.
No, not out of thin air.
As Su Fan’s fingers traced through the air, the light rapidly elongated, forming obscure and mysterious runes in the air.
The runes, imbued with mysterious power, shot toward the brown bear that lay on the ground struggling to rise the instant they took shape!
Its small-mountain-like body suddenly froze in place, looking as if it had been hit by a petrification spell, unable to move a single inch.
To the side, the small brown bear that had been grappling with the photographer had already sensed that things were going badly.
As a cub, it had not the slightest thought of rescuing its mother from danger. It immediately abandoned the idea of killing the photographer beneath it and tried to flee deep into the forest.
However, an identical spiritual talisman rapidly pursued it from behind.
Terrified and furious, it kept weaving around the many trees as it ran, trying to shake off the talisman.
But the talisman was incredibly agile—not only did it completely bypass all obstacles, it also rapidly closed the distance, and finally struck its body!
Ghost-Wandering Record—Immobilization Talisman.
A target struck by the Immobilization Talisman cannot move any part of its body in the slightest!
“There won’t be any golden cicada shedding its shell trick this time.”
Su Fan spoke softly from not far away, and the talisman that had already taken shape before him suddenly emitted a brilliant light.
The next instant, a dazzling bolt of lightning lit up everyone’s stunned faces!
Beneath the thunder, the light from the flickering campfire was utterly insignificant—in that instant, the forest was as bright as day.
Struck by the thunderbolt, the motionless brown bear’s body carbonized, crumbling away piece by piece.
Fur, skin, fat layers, and muscle were effortlessly pierced through, leaving huge holes through which the scene behind could be seen directly.
Even so, Su Fan was still not reassured.
The Five Thunder Talisman did counter demons and evil, true—but that bat demon’s flesh had extremely strong regenerative abilities, and he couldn’t afford to be careless.
Su Fan cast the Immobilization Talisman several more times in succession, while a ball of flame materialized in his right hand out of thin air.
Elixir Fire.
After his realm advanced, the destructive power of the Elixir Fire had increased accordingly.
It couldn’t compare to the speed and ferocity of thunder magic, but it excelled in its ability to devour and incinerate.
With a thought from Su Fan, the power of his Demon-Slaying divine ability attached itself to the flames.
His arm swept out, and the flames roared forth. The scorching heat dispersed much of the mist that had originally filled this area of the forest.
The Elixir Fire devoured the large brown bear in the blink of an eye, burning it until nothing remained before gradually extinguishing.
Su Fan drew another Five Thunder Talisman, piercing through countless massive trees with lightning to strike the immobilized small brown bear not far away.
The latter was only about the size of an adult human, so the lightning was more than enough to utterly destroy its body.
As for its remaining corpse, Su Fan used the Elixir Fire in the same manner.
At the same time, he kept his spiritual sense tightly locked on, to prevent any situation like the bat demon’s from occurring again.
Fortunately, until the bear’s body was reduced to charred ash, nothing emerged from within.
At this point, the bat demon had been completely annihilated by Su Fan.
The man-eating bears of Forks were also fully dealt with.
One could say it was killing two birds with one stone.
When it was all over, there were no cheers or celebrations—it remained as silent as death.
The contestants sitting on the ground were dazed, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.
Toppling a three-meter-tall, nearly one-ton brown bear, restraining its body with runes, summoning lightning to attack it, and then burning it to ashes with fierce flames.
The man-eating brown bears that had been so powerful and terrifying that everyone felt despair and could only run—in just a few moments, they had been reduced to flying ash by the young man, leaving no trace behind.
If not for the carnage on the scene, and the burnt and foul smell filling the air.
They would surely have taken all of this as a dream.
“Is that Thor?”
Someone in the crowd couldn’t help but murmur.
When it came to runes, the first thing everyone thought of was Runic magic—and combined with the ability to control lightning.
It was simply Thor from Norse mythology.
The Norse god of thunder is an Asian?
They were dumbfounded, confused—their worldview had taken a severe hit.
The only one who was excited and yet not surprised was Megan, hiding behind Su Fan.
When the commotion outside had first begun, she had immediately crawled out of her tent and hidden at the side of Su Fan and his companion’s tent.
This young actress, who appeared to be not yet eighteen, was immensely proud of the correct decision she had made.
At the same time, she felt a sense of emotion in her heart.
This person was still as powerful as ever.
After the Freddy incident, the vision of the bright moon over the sea still appeared in her dreams from time to time.
That overwhelming power to transform heaven and earth at will was something one could never forget.
Seeing Su Fan return to the tent, she trotted up to him with eager, devoted steps.
“Has the matter been resolved?”
“This can be considered settled for now.”
Su Fan answered casually, returning to the small tea table inside his tent.
[You have completely slain a bat demon that had achieved success in cultivation, and also slain two brown bears that were evolving toward demonhood.]
[Divine ability recovery speed +10%!]
The recovery speed of divine abilities has increased again.
As time passed and rehabilitation training continued.
Su Fan had gone from being almost completely unable to use his divine abilities to now being able to perfectly utilize two or three simple divine abilities.
One had to say, this speed was quite good.
After the battle with Paimon, Su Fan had also consulted the classics.
Divine abilities were originally supposed to be driven by mana—Su Fan driving them with qi and spiritual power was already acting above his level.
The concept was roughly equivalent to pouring water into a fuel-powered car as fuel.
The fact that the car could even run at all was simply a miracle.
And when Su Fan used Dream Weaving to forcibly erase the grand magic that had affected an area of several thousand meters, it was no different from driving that water-fueled car like a rocket.
After realizing just how reckless he had been at the time, Su Fan never again sighed about his slow recovery.
[Regarding the Five Thunder Talisman, you seem to have gained some different insights.]
[First time using Elixir Fire to kill an enemy—Elixir Fire proficiency increased.]
[Fire Control Technique +80!]
[Demon Slaying +50!]
