Yeah, I'm expecting Evyle to step in now, too... Still impressed that the painting is unscathed.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Uh-oh. Burk is strong, but even he can't win against the power of 3 (!) Patreon exclusive content characters, and an alcoholic.
So what now? Eveyln could take them all out, but she is very busy. Will Burk make a deal with his spirits?

Nah, he's fine. He's just kneeling to give the hero hunter a false sense of security. When he gets close Burk is on the right height to perform the dreaded "Dick Punch".

This is a momentous occasion!

Calling it now:

1 - Burk uses the power of one of his spirits.

or

2 - Someone joins in to help (maybe the one 3 pages ago).

I guess nothing can really beat a concussion.

Time for either Burk‘s Spirits to make a deal or for that mysterious Person to do something.

This would be the ideal time for the Skycleaver to join the party.

What is this just behind Possumgirl? It doesn't look like her hair

Perhaps the one to help him is his brother...

But I still believe you can manage this by yourself, Burk! Allow the spirits to do their thing! C'mon!

I still don't know if Burk is an esper. As an esper, he should be able to undo the power of the heroes quite easily. But right now, he doesn't.

However, he somehow dispelled the powers of his opponent in https://www.neorice.com/hoh_burk_2273 and https://www.neorice.com/hoh_burk_2276 .

@Kardwill: Looks like the same person(?) who the dark haired female hero in https://www.neorice.com/hoh_3905 was wondering about.

Burk has been shown to be extremely good at not taking hits, but we've rarely seen him take direct damage like previous due to his innate capability to dodge and Esper abilities. If Noel and Morty are any example, Espers are just humans otherwise so he likely doesn't have any protective capabilities against it if a hit does land. That and accumulated fatigue from extended combat isn't helping. We'll see how he manages this one.

@Kardwill
I think it's the simp's hair.

with the power oof love he calls care bear stare! And rides off on my little pony to fight the forces of Megatron. Next time he fights. Cobra commander

@KsCoPe no the thing @Kardwill refers to is the hair of Morty after he's been caught by the guy with a cowboy hat, he's still behind Possumgirl

@KsCoPe
Burk can directly see spirits, so he is an esper (or at least close enough to being one). While he can disrupt spirit, it seems that, unlike Noel or Evyle, he needs to be touching it in order to do it, which is why he can't just shut everyone's powers down. And since most of those attacks are physical objects, he can't dispel them and has to dodge them.

It seems that different espers have different ways of disrupting spirit. I mean, Mr. Mittens apparently does it via beams. Shalhia from Tobi's story, despite being a member of an esper-only paladin unit, has never been seen disrupting spirit either, so she might also be unable to do it at range.

Impossible.

@KsCoP: So far all Espers presented were unable do undo permanent physical effect created by magic, if they contain no spirit to work with. In Noa's arc Noel could do borderline nothing against most nightmares, and even Burk had to dodge all ray attacks from Venesperda's killsat. There is basically a fundamental difference between effects sustained by using magic (spirit) and effect created by magic that tend to keep existing even if the creator is not focussing on them anymore (most pandemonium/free magic).

@Kardwill: That is probably just Morty, or to be more accurate, his hair.

Burk can only be defeated by someone cooler than he is.

Stop calling Burk an esper, you guys are thinking way too rigidly, this is a fictional universe in which the rules can be bent by the author at will. Burk is in a category of his own, with his own abilities, including somehow cancelling spirit. There's no reason to believe only espers can do that. You're taking this too seriously, have a bit of imagination instead, isn't it what this comic is about?

I'm expecting Burk's two Follower Spirits to come out the moment he falls unconscious. Because letting him die is no fun, and beating up "hero's" would be fun.

My personal theory is Burk was at one point a standard esper/spirit user but then did "something" that greatly altered his relationship with reality.
Or maybe someone else did that mystery "something".

Burk is just too susceptible to Cool attacks.
