Although he has changed his strategy in his mind, Atlas Bear still maintained his boxing stance.

He slowly approached the thief step by step.

The thief remained as usual, casually and unguarded, approaching Atlas Bear with an "What else can you do?" expression.

Step by step, the distance between the two narrowed again.

Until the distance was within reach of a punch from Atlas Bear, he swung his fist again.

But this time, he didn't put his full strength into it. Halfway through the punch, he opened his palm and grabbed towards the thief's neck.

The thief obviously didn't anticipate this change and was visibly startled this time, stumbling while trying to dodge.

Atlas Bear didn't let this opportunity slip, quickly followed up, extending his other hand to grab the thief's shoulder.

Just as he was about to grab hold, unexpectedly, the thief took advantage of the stumble, collapsed backward and performed a backflip, delivering a kick in the process.

Atlas Bear temporarily blocked the unexpected attack with his forearm, feeling a slight pain.

This thief was not only agile but also had sharp attacks.

Moreover, this kick was carried out hastily.

- I might lose.

Such thoughts flashed through Atlas Bear's mind.

But on the other hand, Atlas Bear finally found a breakthrough.

The opponent clearly feared his strength. Once he managed to catch hold of the opponent, no matter how skilled the opponent was in combat techniques, as long as there was no space to exert force, they would be unable to fight back.

By actively creating distance, the opponent revealed their lack of confidence in close-quarters combat, throws, grappling, and wrestling.

Atlas Bear decided to implement the idea he had just come up with, suppressing and controlling the opponent with his strength. If necessary, he would endure the opponent's attacks to get close.

Atlas Bear changed his stance, bending his body and lowering his center of gravity, both hands protecting his head, and charged towards the thief.

With Atlas Bear's physique, this charge was like an armored vehicle rushing towards the thief.

- Come, how will you respond?

- If you attack my upper body, I'm confident I can withstand any of your attacks.

- If you attack my lower body, I'll rush forward and overpower you.

- If you try to evade, I'll spread my arms wide to increase the catching area.

This seemingly reckless assault, Atlas Bear had already planned his next move.

The thief's response was also to charge towards Atlas Bear.

When the distance between them was less than five meters, the thief prepared his right hand behind him.

- It seems that you're going to use brute force, so I'll just send you flying.

Atlas Bear strengthened the power in his hands to withstand the thief's direct punch.

The thief didn't use any tricks this time, directly throwing a punch at Atlas Bear.

...This was what Atlas Bear had anticipated.

But he didn't expect that when the thief's fist was about to hit Atlas Bear's arm, it turned into an open palm. Using this point of contact as support, the thief jumped up, performing a front flip over Atlas Bear and landing behind him.

Without enough time to brake or turn around, Atlas Bear felt a heavy blow to the back of his head, causing his entire head to feel a dull impact. He immediately fell into extreme dizziness, his vision spinning, unable to maintain balance, and knelt down.

In front of Atlas the brown bear, it was pitch black with white dots flickering. He felt an immense heaviness in his head, as if it could fall off at any moment. He couldn't feel the presence of his body, let alone move or stand up.

There was only one thought left in his mind.

- It's over, I'm going to fall, my body is going to curl up to protect myself.

But his body was already motionless.
