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
“You are the guys that put a bounty on my head. So, stop bullshitting, and come at me,” Jim gestured with his hand. “I’ll beat the bones out of you!”The third-ranked villain, Death Knight, jumped forth at once. “Who do you think you’re talking to?” He was completely covered in armor from top to bottom. “I’ll send you to hell right away!” He clenched his fist and threw it viciously at Jim. “Sonic Smash!”Everything in front and around Death Knight’s fist reverberated and waves of sound blasted forth in all directions.The air around, the ground below, the walls of the building, all of them cracked and broke. Jim was also sent flying out of the building. He didn’t even realize what hit him. All the organs in his body felt like they were on fire. He bled from the nostrils and ears and mouth. His eyes also gained redness. He felt dizzy.[Get a hold of yourself!] Joe’s voice rang in his mind, but it wasn’t of much help right now. [He’s using sound to disturb the mediums around him. Whethe
Jim did not move a muscle as the highly-concentrated sound wave came at him in the blink of an eye.It went right through him and then went on to destroy many walls and buildings behind him in a straight line. For over a thousand feet, all the materials were broken to bits. The only thing still standing was Jim.To Death Knight’s surprise and confusion, Jim looked unfazed and unaffected even after receiving his attack head-on. How did he do that? “I didn’t see you use vivre to shield yourself, so how were you able to defend yourself?”“Why should I tell you?” Jim began to walk forward.“He released vivre just at the last fraction of a second and then withdrew it afterward,” Jeremy opined.“That’s some fine-ass control and tuning,” the second-ranked villain Moonbreaker remarked. “He’s figured out that letting the waves pass through his body is easier than blocking them.”“Indeed,” Jeremy said. “There’s no need for us to fight each other. Let us join hands and go to the third floor. I h
There was never a question about it.There was just no way Jim would work with the eight evil tribes, especially knowing that these people had no problem eating human flesh. On top of that, Jim realized that Stanley was part of them. He could guess that the woman who seemed to have ordered Stanley that day must also be part of the eight tribes. These were both people who hurt him and Rena and almost killed them. How could he ever forgive them for what they did? How could he even shake hands with people from the same dark society as those two were part of?“You want to defeat, no, kill Bloody Corpse?” Jeremy’s eyes contained a smile in them. “That’s funny. You think just because you put a hole in the ceiling, you think you can take on the guy that hasn’t been defeated by anyone in dungeon history? Now, that’s some arrogance. There’s no need for me to go out of my way to deal with you because you’re on your way to destruction. Let’s go, guys.” He raised his hand slightly, and Monmor’s b
