Han Sen was thinking to himself, "Come on, don't stop me . I just need to get a little closer . "
The boss of Jade Hill's beasts would be difficult for Han Sen to tackle mano-mano, and if he found himself bearing the brunt of one's attack, he could find himself in a similar condition to that of the chef .
If Han Sen could just about reach the boss, he could use Super Spank to deliver enough damage to kill it and end the threat for good . But Han Sen had to physically touch his opponent with his hand to use Super Spank . Getting that close was a dangerous feat, and it was a stunt he wasn't entirely sure he could pull off .
Han Sen was still a good distance away from his foe, and the tide of monsters was already headed his way .
With the chef in one arm and a horn in the other, he stood strong and broke the wave . He managed to slay every creature that dared to come near him .
"Why am I so unlucky, huh? No one has come to help kill this guy . " Han Sen was disheartened .
The boss of Jade Hill looked at Han Sen with a strange expression . The human had achieved the power of a primitive creature, but he had no geno core .

The boss had initially only wanted to kill the chef, but he couldn't allow a human like that to run rampant . He had to make Han Sen his target now, as well, and not only the chef .
Han Sen's Jadeskin had a high threshold of stamina, but he had been running for a long time already . Having exhausted much of his energy, Han Sen knew he couldn't keep on fighting the onslaught of creatures that were spawned to impede him . As he had seen with the chef previously, the boss could generate creatures continually, almost faster than he could kill them . If he kept this up, he'd become winded and fall .
"How am I supposed to get out of this?" Han Sen asked himself, looking around for a solution to his woes .
The boss of Jade Hill was too far away from Han Sen, and with the barrage of monsters that kept on coming, it didn't look likely he'd reach the spirit .
Things were different in the Fourth God's Sanctuary, and there was a perpetual sense of unease . The atmosphere and gravitas of every situation were heavy, and this was only tripled under the threat of those creatures .
And with everything being so strong, the powers he might have once used to sunder mountains in the Third God's Sanctuary could only manage to split rocks here .
A weak, new demi-god to the Fourth God's Sanctuary did not have to encounter a creature or spirit to meet a grizzly end . Han Sen wagered the atmosphere itself could choke the life out of them .

Han Sen had a few AoE hyper geno arts that could hit multiple opponents at once, but they wouldn't be of much use here . And again, that was mainly because he lacked a geno core to call his own . He had to use his body to fight, just as it was . As such, his attacks had to be singular, too .
"I can't turn back now . I must do this . " Han Sen then decided to take off running towards the split earth .
He had wanted to poison the creature that resided within, but now, provided it hadn't yet died, he thought it might be possible to enlist its aid .
Han Sen bought himself time by breaking the bodies and cutting the throats of all the creatures that came close . But when he killed one, the body would explode into a whiff of black smoke and respawn .
Han Sen's arm was dealt a scratch at one point, but Jadeskin proved sufficient to withstand the light fumbles he made . He didn't even end up bleeding .
He was still a good distance away from the split earth . He regretted running as far as he had, for it now proved rather difficult to return .

The boss of Jade Hill was getting peeved, as this transpired . He was annoyed the beasts were unable to do Han Sen harm, so he cast even more powers into the pages of the book he wielded .
Then, the bronze book turned to silver .
Han Sen's mood turned grim upon seeing this . It was a knight-class spirit, and that meant his geno core had probably turned silver-class . Silver geno cores would create far stronger enemies and generate a threat Han Sen might not be able to overcome .
And to coincide with this, the boss's temperament looked disturbingly ill . When he drew with his fingertips, he drew carefully and concisely . He wasn't scrawling across the pages wildly as he had been . He was now more deliberate .
Han Sen saw a silver light beam from out of the new-and-improved book, and it spawned a silver-winged ape creature, that was able to fly directly over to Han Sen .
Dong!
Han Sen punched the ape with a mighty release of energy, which had it stumbling back ten meters .
"This guy must be primitive . " Han Sen frowned .
The boss of Jade Hill continued to draw, but Han Sen noticed the trickles of sweat that were rolling down his forehead like a number of beads . Clearly, the repeated casting of these greater creatures was taking its toll on the spirit .
After summoning four of those apes, he stopped .
Han Sen was in a bad situation, and he had to use Jadeskin to equalize his fitness with theirs . Han Sen had to deal with four horribly powerful apes and a tide of regular creatures, all by his lonesome .
Han Sen used Jadeskin and his phoenix techniques, trying to use these enemies for cover .
He didn't make use of Super Spank, though, for he was afraid he'd spook the boss into running away if it found out what Han Sen was capable of . And Han Sen wasn't in the mood to make lasting enemies, either, so the threat of the self-proclaimed boss had to end there and then .
Han Sen wanted to fight the boss right then . Exerting his strength to take down the apes was a waste of both time and energy . He was starting to incur wounds, too, as the brutal hits delivered by the apes were making him bleed .
After a long fight, Han Sen felt a strange power begin to well-up inside his body . It felt as if his very cells were being empowered by Jadeskin . Han Sen was enthused, feeling this . He was feeling the same sensations Old Man Ji had once described to him .
"Is my geno core generating?" Han Sen asked himself with gleeful surprise .
