Jim opened his eyes. And the first thing he saw was Joker drinking some soft drinks and was also eating spicy chips that looked abnormally red.Seeing Jim wake up, Joker smiled with relief and put the chips packet forward. “Do you want some?”Jim took a few seconds to understand where he was, and then he pushed the chips packet away. “Don’t eat that trash. It looks like red dye 40 is mixed in it.”“So what?” Joker asked.“Why do you think kids have short attention spans these days?” Jim asked.“You mean…” Joker’s expression changed.“From the inability to concentrate or sit still or lacking patience or not having the sense of danger which is natural to humans…” Jim said. “You lose a lot of what gives you common sense just by eating those dyed-foods regularly, especially the ones coated with red dye 40. It’s mixed in many foods these days. And children eat these dyed foods and they also take a lot of sugar through soft drinks and sweets. No wonder they are getting ADHD symptoms. Sugar

“Heavenly Bomb!” He struck Bloody Corpse’s jaw as his right hand was pulled into the mouth.BA DA BOOM~~!!It was one of the special attacks Jim prepared just to fight the three immortals. It was packed with oxygen which wasn’t flammable by itself but could easily set other things on flames upon collision with them. And the same thing happened with Bloody Corpse.Bloody Corpse’s head was set on flames that burned so brightly and strongly that even the ceiling cracked in the cave.Even with a burning head, Bloody Corpse threw a punch at Jim’s head.Jim ducked diagonally and then punched in the liver with his right hand. Bloody Corpse was sent flying into the distant wall.Ace and others were left stunned by what they saw.“Run,” Jim shouted. “This place is going to collapse soon. No matter what happens from here on out, don’t look back. Just run. I’ve cleared the rocks at the entrance, so escape outside.”Though Ace wanted to fight and help Jim at least a little, he knew that he would

“These little shits…” Bloody Corpse shivered with rage. “How dare you ignore me! I’ll require you to pay with your lives for this!” He spread his arms out, and two black chains released from out of his palms. “Night Light Chains!” These energy chains grew long and tried to seal all four of them. “Seal their souls forever!”Jim formed a large sphere of vivre that covered all of them, including the sabertooth. It blocked the black chains that kept absorbing all the light around, making everything absolutely dark. Within seconds, only the space inside the sphere was bright. It looked like there was no means of escape for them because blackness surrounded them in every direction.“This is crazy,” Electric Assassin could feel the lightning energy all around on the outside of the sphere. “If we step out, we’re going to be burnt to ashes. How long can you hold on against this, Jim?”“Hold on?” Jim raised his hand, which released bright tentacle-like structures out of the sphere, which pierce

The cave where Jim and Bloody Corpse fought collapsed now completely.Joker and others had managed to escape in time, but they were worried about Jim because they were certain that Jim was trapped inside, fighting Bloody Corpse on top of that.More than anyone else, Joker was the one who felt most tense, but at the same time, he was also the one who believed the most that Jim would manage to escape alive.After the rocks stopped falling, Joker began to move the rocks one by one. Ace and others began to do the same thing.“Do you think this is the right thing to do?” Electric Assassin voiced his mind. “What if we managed to open a path and then the person that we find isn’t Jim but Bloody Corpse.”Nobody said anything for a while.“If that happens, then we’ll deal with it at that time,” Scarlet Storm said. “We cannot go to the third floor without Jim if we want to survive there.”“What makes you say that?” Ronny asked. “Is there something on the third floor that targets us?”“I heard t

Binnie surely wasn’t expecting such words from Jim at all. “Y-You want me to take you to White Maiden? Did I hear you correctly?”“You did,” Jim calmly replied. “I don’t want to spend much time on the third floor, so if it’s possible to go to the next floor, then why waste time here?”“Mm…” Binnie paused for a moment. “I don’t know where you’re getting your confidence from, but White Maiden doesn’t meet anyone unless they catch her eye. But if it’s you, I think she’ll definitely meet you since she loves good-looking men like you.”“Eek,” Doug felt creeped out by her words. “S-She sounds dangerous in a very different way.”“She is much more dangerous than you can even imagine,” Binnie said. “Anyway, before I can do you the favor of taking you White Maiden’s place, you must make me laugh first. Only you. Without taking anybody’s help. Can you do it?”“I’ll try,” Jim said and began to think.[Do you want me to help with the joke?] Joe asked him.“No thanks,” Jim was quick to reply to Joe
