章節 46: Rip and tear I
(3rd Person POV)
"Tell me lads ... do you bleed?", Bruce asks and they look confused for a moment, only for them to start laughing.
"HAHAHAHA get this guy!!" "HEHEHEHEHE" "HIHIHI do- do you bleed hahahahaha"
That's all the distraction that he needs. He smiles and looks at them and waits for the first victim to approach him. And just like he guessed, one of these Evil Spirits does come. It's a rather tall, but lean-looking guy. He has big black batwings which he has folded behind his back. The horns look menacing and his eyes glow red. His breath, however, is the worst part about him. It almost makes Bruce pass out.
The Spirit looks down on Bruce with arrogance and malice. The smile on his face speaks of the horrors that he has planned for Bruce. He begins to pat Bruce's head like a pet.
"Well little human, aren't you a cute one? So pretty too, I almost can't hold myself back ... oooohhh, how I will ravage-"
*BOOM*
The Evil Spirit is interrupted however by an explosion of some kind. The kind that speaks of pain. Confused the spirit looks down at his arm and finds it ... missing. There is only the dark blood flowing out of a small stump. And as he realises this, the promised pain comes.
"AAAAAARRRRRRGHHHH!!! I'LL KILL YOUUUU!!", he screams and holds his wound. He brings his left arm, the one that's still there, to the wound and begins to cauterize his wound with, what can only be assumed to be hellfire.
Bruce however is no longer messing around. He was fully serious the moment he understood that someone had come to his premises, without him knowing. That person could only be someone grossly powerful as he is continuously upgrading his defences. He even used the Universal Programmer for that. So if someone could push through that, it had to be someone very powerful.
Everything up till this moment was within his calculations and while he didn't like it, it was still the best cause of action. Everything else would have led to a situation, not in his favour. But this ... this will come to bite the good man in the ass later. And you can believe that!
.
Bruce didn't wait for the Evil Spirit to finish what he was doing. He was here to survive and that's what he'll do. He attacked the guy while he was cauterizing his wound and used his chi to attack. That's how he even managed to implement Hokuto Shinken and hurt the Evil Spirit. Because he didn't have normal vital points or pressure points like Humans did. So Bruce had to improvise and he knew that Chi was life energy. It was what these guys ate but also what could hurt them, if anything.
He was nacked right now, he didn't have any other choice.

Bruce strikes the evil spirit's forehead with four fingers. When he moves his fingers the opponent is left with 3 seconds to live. He then moved and watched. 3 seconds later, nothing happened but after 5 seconds, the Evil Spirit began to have a seizure and then ... died. That's the moment that shit hit the fan. When the others saw Bruce kill the Evil Spirit, they got angry and their malice turned up to a thousand.
"Raaahhh!" "Uuuuhhh"
Evil and malicious sounds were heard as the beings who were there growled at Bruce. The latter was ready. Every single muscle in his body was tensed and ready to move at a moment's notice. He got into a stance and awaited their attacks. He didn't have to wait long.
*Whoosh*
One of them attacked and flew towards Bruce, but he was ready. Instead of dodging or blocking, he attacked. He rushed towards the flying spirit and straightened his leg, getting it in a kicking position.

The kick impacted the spirit's face and caved it in. But only slightly. Bruce was still not used to the increased durability of these creatures. And that was what cost him his advantage. The momentum of the creature caused him to fly back. But from the back, there was already another one coming at him.
Bruce jumped up, turned 360° and kicked at the creature. A kick to the back of the spirit's head which normally causes the body to split in half. But here, it barely managed to crack the skull of this guy.

Things were starting to pick up. Not only were there more and more Evil Spirits attacking now, but their strength, speed and durability were pushing Bruce to the absolute limit and forcing him to surpass them.
A fist impacted his face from the left and shot him away. Using his marvellous body control, Bruce managed to change his position in the air and land on his feet. Another one attacked him in the next moment, but he was ready this time. He dodged and punched the creature's thorax using another technique.
'Kyōsatsu Shitotsu Ken'

He didn't stop there though. He continued to attack this way to five of those that stood around him. That was the limit of his speed though and another fist impacted his back.
*Crack*
Right after this one attack, another one came from the front. A giant foot hit him in the chest and caused all of the air in his lungs to escape. He isn't let to fly away though. One of them grabs his leg and begins to throw him around like a rag doll. Multiple bones break here and Bruce uses the control over his body, to fix what he can right now. He makes his muscles around the damaged area stronger and denser.
"Hehehe, look at him. So much spirit and yet, so weak.", the Evil Spirit says and lifts Bruce up with his one arm, bringing him close to his face.
*Tap*
Bruce's hand shoots towards the creature's forehead and two fingers tap on his glabella.
'Kaikotsu Ken'
"Wha- ... Arck ..."
*BOOM*
The skeleton in the creature's body explodes from within his body and sprays all of the gore on Bruce and others who are watching. Bruce falls to the ground and gets into position again. The anger in the air is palpable. More and more attack Bruce. He changes his tactic and gets into a purely defensive position. He blocks and dodges all their attacks.
One after the other gets a hit in and the longer the fight goes on, the crazier the creatures get. They scream in anger and begin to breathe fire at Bruce. He can't block this with martial arts so he tries to dodge and get out of the way.
"Not so fast!", someone says and pulls him back. The fire reaches him. He turns his body around at the last second, but the damage is already done. His right arm is burning. The pain is unimaginable. He has never felt such pain in his life. Hellfire is not only meant to hurt the soul, but also to hurt as long as possible, and that's why it burns so slowly.
.
Bruce does the only thing he can. He focuses his chi on his left hand and presses some pressure points on his right arm. The arm explodes hurting like a million needles. Using his monstrous willpower he manages not to scream and makes sure that he doesn't bleed to death.
He isn't given any time to catch a breather from this experience. He turns around and brings his right leg up. He delivers a roundhouse kick, which splits the head of the evil spirit that was close to him.

Another one attacks Bruce from the side and tries to grab him in a bear hug. But that doesn't work, as Bruce bites the creature in the neck using Chi, strengthening his teeth. He pulls out and rips a piece of flesh from the guy's neck, causing blood to splash all around.
"AARRHH"
The fight takes a less technical turn from here. Bruce begins to seemingly transform from a controlled and powerful 'human' into an instinct-driven and purely focused 'monster'. This does in no way mean that he is losing his mind. On the contrary. This is stimulating him mentally as it is physically. And his soul is also pressured right now. In Hell, an ordinary human feels the worst feelings simultaneously: sadness, fear, and pain. Hal Jordan, a Green Lantern Corps member, was terrified during a brief stay here.
The Batman and Thanos parts of his being are showing themselves. Indomitable Will. These Evil Spirits don't know what they unleashed on their realm.
Bigger and badder monsters began to appear and more as well. The fight didn't seem to get any better. Neither side was making any progress. The Evil Spirits were doing damage to Bruce. They punched him, broke his bones, tried to burn him, used torture magic on him and more, but nothing kept this ... monster down. What was going on?
On the other side, Bruce was also not getting anywhere. He had killed countless since he had come here, but it was seemingly no use. He was still going on. Whether he was still fully conscious, only he would know. But his spirit roared stronger than ever. One thing was for certain, he would not be giving up.
.
Almost two weeks passed and the fight was still going on, but neither side was willing to give in. A giant creature straight from nightmares appeared. Its giant physique caused tremors to the landscape and it was clear that this one would not die as easily as the others ... or would he?
*ROAR*
The creature roared at Bruce, who was now standing alone against the monstrosity. All the others had made space for him because they were scared of this one as well. The monster used its big paw-like hands to try and squash Bruce. But he dodged. He managed to stand in the space between the fingers when the hand impacted the ground.
*BOOOOOM*
The impact sent shockwaves all around and caused many to have to fly in the air, or they'd be swallowed by the lava which got free. Bruce was no exception. But he couldn't fly. Instead, he jumped on the hand of the beast and started to run upwards. As he was running he used his Chi and pressed as many points as he could, while running. This was another monster entirely. Small bursts managed to hurt the beast as Bruce made his way up the arm.
"ROOAARR!", the beast cried out in pain as blood flowed out of the backside of his hand. It brought the hand to his face, in order to see the damage. It wasn't smart. This chance was what Bruce had calculated. He used the close proximity to jump towards the giant creature's face. He pumped a lot of Chi into his arm and reached one of these big eyes. One of the monster's eyes was as big as his entire body.
His hand pierced the monster's eye and he pumped as much Chi as he could inside it.
"RRROOOOOOAAAAAARRRR!!!!", the creature screamed out in pain and began to flail around. It shook his head from left to right and tried to swat Bruce away like a fly. Bruce let go when the giant paw approached him. But he wasn't lucky, the monstrosity managed to grab him by his leg. There was another angry roar and the monster clenched its fist ...
*CRACK*
All the bones in Bruce's left, lower than the knee were crushed into fine powder. As were the blood vessels, muscles and nerves. The pain was unimaginable, but during these days, the Dark Knight had grown accustomed to pain and the dimension as a whole. He toughened it out. But things weren't over just yet.
The creature raised his hand and then threw Bruce into its mouth. He didn't even chew and only swallowed the bleeding human.
.

.
"Hm? Ugh ... argh ... ARRRGHH!!", the monster suddenly began to hold its stomach in pain and after a moment, it began to spit out blood. More and more blood came out of it and with a final desperate scream of pain, the creature fell to the ground, causing an earthquake.
*BOOOM*
!!!
When things calmed down somewhat, there was movement from one of the eyes of the monster. it began to twist and bulge and then, it exploded and out of it came ... a creature that looked like Bruce. Blood and gore in mass amounts were raining from the air and he was full of it. He was limping somewhat but the air around him was more dangerous than ever before.
"Come ... "
