Just as Smelly Hammer was about to kill one of the men of Ronny Street, a figure came flying down and landed right in between Smelly Hammer and his target. Everybody immediately recognized this person.“Jim the Hero!” Some men belonging to Ronny Street cried out his name in happiness.“Heh, the hero? More like the zero!” Smelly Hammer viciously swung his heavy hammer without a shred of hesitation. “Die, you dog!” The hammer released strong red lightning as it drummed through the air.Smelly Hammer’s intentions were obvious. He wasn’t just trying to defeat Jim but utterly destroy every single cell in his body so that nothing of him remained. Was there a better way for a villain to destroy a hero than to make their very existence completely disappear?“Not even a single blood cell in your body will remain after this! Thor’s Thunder!” Smelly Hammer roared.Jim deflected the hammer with his fist like it was nothing and then grabbed the opponent’s face firmly.Smelly Hammer was a seven-fo
Jim loosened his fist as the villains with swords, clubs, and machetes charged him, roaring like mad men.“In the book, he talked about fighting without tightening the muscles,” Jim uttered. “He said it’d help make vivre move faster and smoother through the body and thus result in a different output.” He started to move nimbly and smoothly and deflected the weapons of the opponents without even touching them and also released smooth bursts of energy through his movements that pushed the opponents away and sent some flying.“What sort of a martial art is this?” Shadow Sage frowned. “It doesn’t look like he’s releasing much vivre, but he’s pushing his opponents away.”“He can’t stop bullets from up close,” Monmor said. “They just have to get close enough and surprise him.”“I’ll do it,” a brown woman wearing a bra and a skirt walked forth. She was Lead Digger ranked 72 among the villain lords. She was holding a briefcase in one hand, and a kitchen knife in the other hand.Lonely Swan ju
When Shadow Sage and Lonely Swan started moving, all the other villains moved away because they didn’t want to get involved in the fight.Shadow Sage was the one in the front. His whole body was covered in tattoos, and they began to come alive, which surprised Jim. They were disgusting-looking beasts of sizes and shapes never seen before by man.“What the hell are those things?” Jim asked. “Are they demons?”“You guessed it right,” Shadow Sage uttered. “They are basically made out of ink, but you cannot cut them. You cannot kill them. However, they can kill you.”“If they are made out of ink, I can just evaporate them, right?” Jim voiced his mind.Shadow Sage blinked a couple of times. “Haha, you think they have any water in them? They don’t. They can’t be melted, too. Nobody has managed to defeat them, yet. Not even Jeremy or the Death Knight! That’s why I’m still undefeated on this floor. Attack him, my little darlings.”All the dozen dark-green ink beasts swarmed onto Jim from the
Jim came straight for Monmor.Shadow Sage’s ink demons had just returned to his body, so he was able to suddenly release them all once again. They formed a defensive shield in front of Shadow Sage and Monmor.Jim punched at the wall. “Heavenly Fist!”BOOM~~!!Everything before him had completely been destroyed in a second. All the people, including Shadow Sage became unrecognizable bits and pieces. For over 1200 ft, everything in sight was leveled.Monmor was nowhere to be seen. Did he also die from that punch?Smiling Son who had taken out a box full of worms found himself rooted to the ground and staring at Jim in disbelief. He knew Jim was strong, but shouldn’t he be tired after his fight with Nexa? How can he just destroy over a hundred people with a single punch?“It wasn’t as destructive as I wanted,” Jim uttered, further astonishing both Smiling son and Lonely Swan. “Is it because I spent most of my vivre into strengthening my organs? I should start absorbing more vivre into my
Jim felt completely helpless against these worms, which were sucking away all the vivre through his bodily pores. From the heated battle, his pores were already open, which made it easier for these skyworms to suck his energy all the more easily.On top of that, Monmor used this chance to launch a grand attack. Over thirty earthen pillars rose out of the ground and came down crashing onto Jim like giant living snakes seeking to devour him alive.Jim had no time to properly defend himself.He was crushed by the thirty pillars from every direction. He was buried alive.After the excessively loud clash, Monmor was laughing very happily.“We’ve done it, Lord Monmor,” Smiling Son excitedly said. “I didn’t think we’d be able to do it, but we really did it. We really took down the hero that defeated Nexa!”“Haha,” Monmor was panting. “Yes, this is what I wanted. He’s crushed under my pillars of earth, and the skyworms will keep sucking his energy until he can’t move anymore. There’s no way h
Ronny lived a normal life like anybody else, and he never considered himself to ever achieve anything significant in life because he was a man with very simple goals. Working, eating, playing with his dog, and sleeping well were his daily habits. He did not have any bad habits that were out of control, except for his habit of eating too much.After he ended up on the streets because of the increase in interest rates, Ronny regretted not being able to control his eating habits and save some money for his future. He learned how to style hair from his aunt when he was young, and he wished he saved some money to open his own salon one day.Ronny thought about these things even after he was forcibly brought to the dungeon. However, he never saw himself leaving this dungeon alive. But that changed after Jim entered his life.Ronny saw his escape route in Jim much before Joker did. It was just that he never explicitly said it out loud.So, when Monmor shouted from outside, warning Ronny to c
A hole almost as big as the size of a man’s fist formed in Monmor’s chest. Everybody including Ronny thought that they had won. To add to their belief, Monmor’s knee touched the ground.“Boss King! You did it!” Doug excitedly said.Smiling Son who was outside the building did not like what he saw. “How could Lord Monmor lose like this? Who the hell is this Ronny? He didn’t even sweat yet and finished the battle, making it look extremely easy. I heard he’s not a villain, so it’ll be interesting to see what will become of him in the future.”“Did I win?” Ronny, on the other hand, was rather frozen.“Stop joking, Boss King!” Doug laughed. “Or are you too surprised that it ended so easily?”“Who said it’s over?” Monmor gritted his teeth and got back. The hole in his chest was being steadily filled with mud-like substance.“What the…” Doug who was approaching Ronny now stepped backward in trepidation. He had seen people get healed with the help of nanobots, but even nanobots shouldn’t be a
The tattoos on Monmor’s skin glowed and boosted his strength. “You’re going to regret not going for my head or the heart just now.” He raised earthen spears all around Ronny and went for the kill.The black crown automatically tried to shield Ronny from all attacks.However, one spear rose from under Ronny and pierced through his foot diagonally and went straight for his heart.The black crown was able to defend him at the last fraction of a second. The impact still sent a tremendous shock to the whole of Ronny’s body. He was a big guy, but what could he do when it felt like a bus just hit him? He helplessly crashed back into the throne. Even though the throne was installed into the ground with bolts, the bolts came off, and the chair still rolled back. The black crown also fell from his head and rolled to the corner.“Ronny the King! Your life is mine to take!” Monmor created an earthen spear in his hand and jumped at him. “Saber Spear!” He thrust the spear at Ronny’s chest that was
