After defeating Big Fool, Jim looked for Scarlett Storm, and especially Electric Assassin because the spear that he had pierced through Jim’s heart did not leave his mind yet.He really wanted to fight and beat Electric Assassin. However, he could not find both those villains.Doug told him that they left the street, so there was nothing he could do about them as their streets were not nearby.Doug said Jim should eat at a restaurant before going to another street. “If you don’t eat anything, you’re going to lose your strength, Boss.”“I know that, but how can you guarantee that human meat isn’t mixed in these restaurants?” Jim asked.“That’s…” Doug didn’t know how to answer. He didn’t eat human meat himself after coming to the second floor because he was too weak for that.Human meat on the second floor was a luxury. For a poor and weak survivor like Doug, he would be able to afford monster meat or at best dog meat.Monster meat was the cheapest because of the availability of the mons
Jim put on DC glasses as he exited Silly Street and entered Bastard Street, which was known for its male prostitution.There were males outside in the streets dressed up as females and approached Jim and Ronny and asked them to come into their homes. Some of them would easily pass for women in terms of appearance, so Ronny was tempted by them.However, after Doug told them that this particular street was only for males, Ronny did not let any of these posers touch him.“Stay away from me!” he howled at them, but they still tried to grab his hand, touching his shoulder, chest, or at other places, trying to get him into the mood. One of them even pinched his waist, making him angry. He glared at that man. “Do you want to die?”More than a dozen crossdressers approached Ronny, but ten times more of them approached Jim and praised his looks and tried to lift his shirt to see his muscles, but to their shock, they couldn’t touch him because he covered himself with vivre. It was like a shield
Because Jim put on DC glasses, he was able to see things he couldn’t see before. The auras were different for some people compared to others.For instance, Doug and Ronny were giving different auras. A bull demon was residing in Doug, so his aura was more sharp, thorny. However, Ronny’s aura was softer and was like a flame. Jim's own aura was also flame-like, but it was much more gentle compared to Ronny, suggesting that he was much healthier than Ronny.Nevertheless, Jim knew that he was in a far from perfect condition because he still had nanobodies in him, which he still wasn’t able to deal with using his vivre. Right now, he had no way of stopping them. Though Joe assured him that he wouldn’t let the nanobots harm him, Jim could no longer take Joe’s words for granted.As Jim walked in the front, the cross-dressers still tried to touch him. They were desperate to touch him and get his attention. He didn’t want to waste his energy on them, so he just used enough vivre so they wouldn
“I don’t even know what the word ‘regret’ means,” Balaam said and looked at others. His eyes reverted back to normal. “Do any of you know the meaning?”“No, Lord Balaam,” they replied and snickered. “Maybe it’s a type of dish?”“Haha, maybe he’s talking about giving himself to me as a dish,” Balaam said, licking his lips.Jim closed his eyes and focused on his energy. He remembered the practice he did in the training grounds in Flower Street.His aura became so sensitive, he was able to track the location of the snipers with the help of the lasers itself. There were a total of eight snipers.“Omni Burst,” Jim uttered.A faint breeze blew past everyone in the vicinity.“Did he say something just now?” one of the cross-dressers said.“Maybe he said he regrets coming to this street.”“Hahaha.”As they laughed, the lasers were no longer highlighting on the bodies of Jim, Ronny, and Doug. Balaam and others looked up at the rooftops, only to see the snipers with holes in their foreheads. Al
Balaam thought he landed a critical hit by striking Jim’s head; however, he soon realized that his forehead never struck Jim. It was stopped and repelled by the pressure put by the vivre defense of Jim.Jim’s right elbow had come out of the skin, and it hurt him beyond description, but in the heat of the battle, he was able to put the pain aside and strike Balaam’s liver with his left fist. “Bone Breaking Fist!”Blood gushed out of Balaam’s nose against his will, for it was such a powerful strike. Not only did Balaam’s ribs crack, his liver also ruptured. His sight turned blurry for a moment.Nevertheless, Balaam randomly launched punches, hoping to hit Jim at least a few times. Jim deflected all of Balaam’s punches with his left hand alone.Ushi was the one that was fighting Jim through Balaam. He didn’t like the vivre that surrounded Jim and protected him from all types of attacks. He suddenly opened his mouth and let out gray mist that touched Jim’s vivre and melted it away, startl
Jim focused all his energy into his gut, and the seal began to melt away pretty quickly.“Good try, but it’s too late for that,” Ushi slashed his sword vertically. The slash teleported and struck Jim from the front.Ushi thought he got Jim, but what his attack slashed through turned out to be Jim’s afterimage.“Heavenly Step,” Jim suddenly appeared elsewhere and kept turning into a blur. Ushi slashed again and again, but his sword only hit the afterimages.Before Ushi knew it, Jim appeared on his back and thrust his palm, “Heavenly Fist!”A mighty punch to the back of Balaam put a massive hole in Balaam’s chest. Balaam was clearly weakened by that attack, but he was still on his feet. He turned around and tried to slash at Jim.Jim grabbed his hand before he could bring it down. Balaam’s size was also shrinking back to normal, suggesting that the demons were leaving his body.Jim caught Balaam by the throat and lifted him up. Balaam’s eyes still showed split pupils. “I told you… you’d
After Balaam was killed, the locals woke up and saw Doug, Ronny, and Jim standing. Doug told everyone that Jim killed Balaam, and that Jim was the underling of Ronny, so the street’s name was changed to Ronny Street. And Ronny gave them the command to stop wearing lipstick and dresses that made them look revolting. He passed laws that most people in that street didn’t like, but there were also those that were crossdressing against their will; and these people happily welcomed the change by burning their bras and panties in the middle of the streets. And they washed the makeup off their faces and put on pants proudly. In just a matter of two hours, the story of Balaam’s defeat and his servants being freed from their wicked habits quickly spread to other streets. More than Jim’s name, Ronny’s name was widely spread this time. At the same time, the floor manager also released three bounty posters. Doug the Daddy Dog (Dead or Alive): Twenty gold coins. Hero Jim (Dead or Alive): 500 go
Joker and Ace began to leave Ronny Street.“How did it go, Lord?” Ace asked him. He looked more tense than curious.Joker smiled somewhat pleasantly. “A hero really is different from the rest. He said he’ll take us to the third floor with him if he likes us. Can you imagine that?” He laughed a bit strangely. “We probably live in the most selfish place in the world, where anybody can betray anyone. Fathers can betray their own children, and lovers can stab each other in the back just to survive. Forget about climbing the dungeon together, even sharing a meal is a rare sight in this dungeon. In all these years that I’ve been here, nobody has ever said such an outrageous thing like he said.”“You think he’ll be the one to defeat Jeremy?” Ace wondered.“Jeremy? He set his heights on something much greater,” Joker said.“You mean the guardian?” Ace shook his head. “There’s no way anybody can defeat that monster. Even for Hero Jim, it’s impossible. He’s not him.”“We’ll see,” Joker said. “T
