Nexa and Jim’s exchanges were very destructive, but like a madman, Devilian jumped in between them. Both Jim and Nexa, whose adrenaline was rushing to the max, lashed out at him and sent him flying back with their attacks. He crashed into the castle wall, and seemingly passed out. “Tail Thorn Shower!” Nexa’s tail showered flaming thorn bullets at Jim. They rained on him in exceeding numbers, making it difficult to impossible for him to block all of them. Some of them pierced through his flesh and bone, giving him immeasurable physical and mental agony. Still, Jim firmly planted his feet on the ground and withstood the pain and prepared his next attack. Nexa didn’t let him do what he wanted, and so she came at him with another attack. “Sleeping Blossom!” A swing of her feather-sword released a violent violet gas that washed all over Jim. It was so potent even a highly narcotic drug would pale before its effects. It was so fast-moving, Jim ended up inhaling some of it before he stop
For a second, the floor manager looked like an elven woman, but this was clearly not a woman given how sloping the forehead was. The shoulders were also wider than the hips. The body structure, and the piercing gaze… all of them indicated that this person was a male.“She’s one of the chosen few, Hero. I can’t let you kill her,” he firmly held Jim’s wrist so that he wouldn’t be able to touch Nexa now with that same hand.“Who the fuck are you?” Jim coldly glared at him.“I’m Barbosa,” he struck Nexa’s forehead with his finger and made her pass out. He then put her on his shoulder and turned to face Jim. “I’m the second floor’s manager.”“So what? Who gives you the right to intervene in a battle between us?” Jim growled at him.Barbosa smirked. “Your battle with her has indeed caused the villains on the upper floors to go crazy for you, but… you must understand that all the floor managers in this dungeon are villains. In fact, the demon dwarf who taught you is the fourth floor’s manage
Ace, Jim, and others were able to leave the Lollipop street and avoid fighting all the succubus along the way.They settled in Ronny Street.Everybody’s morale in that street was sky-high as in their perspective, their lord managed to defeat Nexa the fifth-ranked villain, which was huge news. And they believed that it was actually Ronny who had accomplished that feat.The thought of going for Ronny’s or Jim’s bounty didn’t even cross their minds anymore. After all, how could they defeat someone so strong? And why would they want to defeat someone so strong when their street could prosper if the boss was super-strong.Jim shut himself in a closed room and completely focused himself on healing. He had many deep cuts and holes in his body. Instead of relying on the nanobots, he relied on his vivre this time on purpose. This was done so that he would push his limits even more. Healing with his own energy when he was already feeling drained would make his powers bloom even more. This was w
“So you were supposed to go to prison but were brought here?” Doug was visibly shocked after hearing Ace’s story as they conversed after eating to their fill. “I’m not the only one. They bring many criminals that get sentenced for life to this place directly instead of taking them to the prison,” Ace said. “That’s…” Doug didn’t know what to say. Ace’s story was very emotional. Ace found his wife cheating on him. He filed for divorce and provided evidence. Yet the family court didn’t let him keep his little daughter and let his wife keep her, and he was also supposed to give her 1500 dollars every month as child support. Ace paid for six months even though his ex-wife didn’t let him see her even once, but in the seventh month, his daughter died from severe fever. The cause was simple. No proper care and nutrition. Ace got so angry he killed his ex-wife by squeezing her throat and choking her to death. “Killing her isn’t wrong at all in my eyes,” Doug said. “If I get to do it again,
In the Lollipop street.Monmor’s underlings were destroying one woman after another in very many ways. The only thing they weren’t doing was raping these women as they were possessed by succubus. Raping them would only be disadvantageous to them, so they just tortured and killed these women left and right.Melina was the only one who stood against them. “You wicked bastards. Now that we’ve lost our main forces, you come here to steal all our wealth! Don’t you have the least sense of honor?” she came flying over the ranks of many villains to attack the palanquin that Monmor was resting in.However, before she could get to him, Smiling Son intercepted her. “You think you can get to Lord Monmor so easily?”“Move aside, you trash!” Melina tried to strike him with her tail, but Smiling Son closed in and grabbed her with both arms and squeezed her with all the strength he got.“Don’t kill her,” Monmor’s voice was heard by Smiling Son. “We need to get information about the hero from her.”Af
Jim was meditating on the rooftop, his stomach growling so much because he hadn’t eaten anything since his battle with Nexa.Doug finally brought a basket full of apples. “Boss, look! I brought you shiny apples!”“Shiny?” Jim opened his eyes and looked at the apples which were so glossy. He remembered his dad once showing him when he was young that apples that looked shiny were probably coated with wax. “Bring a peeler or a blade and peel off the skin.”“Pardon?” Doug looked confused. “The skin is what gives the apple taste, Boss Jim.”“Can’t you see that they’ve been waxed thickly?” Jim anooyedly said. “If I eat them like t his, my stomach will get really upset one day. I can’t risk that when I’m in this dungeon!”“G-Got it, Boss.” Doug then took the basket downstairs and explained the problem to Ace, who then gathered men. And they all quickly peeled off the skin within ten minutes.Doug took the peeled apples back to Jim, whereas Ace lit up a flame torch. “Let’s see if these things
Jim was meditating, and he was learning more about the human body and how its parts were wonderfully proportional to one another. “Even the fingers are in golden ratio…” Jim had his eyes closed, but he was able to feel the life energy releasing from his body, which people called aura. “I can feel it through vivre. The energy goes into the nails and hair and skin and bones… which in turn helps grow them. This is so beautiful.” [It is indeed.] Joe sounded envious. [I wish I had a body, too. It’s full of mysteries and complex processes. The more you dig, the more surprises you’ll get. But the best part of them all is the human DNA, which can amazingly replicate itself.] “You sound like you can’t wait to get a new body for yourself,” Jim commented. [That’s against the rules I’m set up with.] Joe replied. [I cannot have my own body. Ever. I can only accept a human as my master. And I can’t recklessly kill humans, either. I know of some other systems, which are more rationalistic, but I
Hundreds of villains had surrounded Ronny Street. They were all armed with guns, crossbows, swords, and more.A man wearing a white robe came from the Ronny Street, and nobody shot at him, for he was a scout they sent to observe the enemies first.This man in white robe was Venom Scout, a villain ranked 22. He was known to be so poisonous that he’d make people sick just by breathing air in their faces.Naturally, everybody moved away from him as he came to Monmor.“So, how are their forces?” Monmor asked while picking his teeth with a sharp, broken dog bone. “If we all storm in right now, will we have more advantage? Or should we wait until our plants make them fight against each other?”“I think it’s better to make our ‘plants’ to join us in the middle of the fight,” Venom Scout opined. “This can deal a big blow to them mentally. I think we will need that momentum. If we can use that well, our victory will be sealed.”“Huh! Do you think it’ll be that easy?” A bulky bald-headed villai
