“Bone-Breaking Fist!” Jim didn’t just use his brute strength but also his vivre in the attack. This helped him generate a lot of force behind the punch.Jeremy raised his hand high and caught Jim’s fist with some visible effort. “Can’t you wait until I’m fully transformed? Are you that afraid of facing me at my full strength? How can you call yourself a hero when you act in such a cowardly manner?”“Shut up!” Jim forcibly pulled his fist back and rained punches fast, but Jeremy was able to catch up to his speed comfortably.“Anger won’t get you anywhere. Didn’t you mom or dad teach you that, Jim Drake?” Jeremy asked. “Or do you want me to call you Jim Draknor?”Jim’s eyes slightly widened. How did he know his family name? His real family name? “H-How did you…”“We demons have eyes and ears everywhere,” Jeremy grinned. “I can tell you what your father did in his younger days if you want because my friends have observed him back then. In fact, I can talk about your grandparents or their
Moonbreaker and Death Knight withdrew from the battle after seeing Jeremy get blown away into the distance.“Fucking hell,” Death Knight was visibly shocked. “How could Jeremy lose like this? We’ve invested so much time and effort for him. What the hell are we supposed to do now?”“Let’s just focus on going to the third floor now,” Moonbreaker said.“I hope that Bloody Corpse won’t demand too much from us,” Death Knight said.“Let’s take some delicious meat with us just in case,” Moonbreaker suggested. “I heard that he loves to eat heart and liver. So let’s take a lot of hearts and livers.”“Sounds good.”Meanwhile, many people saw Jeremy as he got sent scraping along the second floor’s ceiling. However, only about one percent of them were actually able to tell that it was Jeremy because Jeremy was traveling quite fast at the time.Nevertheless, the news of Jeremy’s defeat spread throughout the second floor faster than a wildfire ever could.“That Jeremy is defeated? No way.”“Who cou
Everybody on the second floor was preparing for the monster wave. Many villains from the third floor were watching on their laptop and television screens to see how the monster wave assault would turn out this time because the top ranker Jeremy had died.“I can’t believe that guy defeated Jeremy,” Little Nightmare was sparring with her sister. She was learning how to make the whip release attacks at variable speeds, but was having it very difficult even though her sister showed her how to do it multiple times. “He definitely wasn’t that strong when he fought me.”“I’ve seen his growth on the first floor with my own eyes,” Nightmare_lily smiled as she blocked her sister’s attacks with her bare hands. “So, I’m not that surprised. What makes me wonder though is how he’s going to deal with Barbosa and Bloody Corpse. They are not people that anyone wants to fight, much less defeat for obvious reasons. From what I heard, Jeremy was a member of the Hunter tribe, which was one of eight beast
On the second floor, most of the villains were waiting at the borders that were closest to the caves.After all, the monster wave was coming soon.They could already faintly hear the growls of the beasts from inside the caves.“I’m going to get all the ivory of the six-tusk mammoth this time!”“I’ll collect the blood of the ghost fox! They say it can vastly improve your agility and stealth. I’m going to drink enough of it and then sell the rest for a lot of gold!”“If you really want gold, then you better capture the Monk Goose! There were people who had seen it really lay golden eggs.”“How can it lay golden eggs?”“Because it’s a freaking cyborg. It can shoot fire beams out of its mouth. If you’re not careful, you’ll burn to death! After all, even the top three villains together couldn’t kill that thing over multiple attempts! For a duck, it has an abnormal amount of defense.”“Then how the hell are we supposed to capture it?”“We have Boss King with us this time, don’t we?”“Is he
A few minutes earlier.“Boss, why are you exercising right before the monster wave comes?” Doug asked. “You should conserve your stamina instead. You are going to be fighting a lot of monsters, so having stamina will greatly help because it’s going to last many hours. There were times when it lasted even days.”Jim was doing deadlifts with 10,000 pounds without using his vivre, and he was barely sweating from doing it. “Damn it!” He let go of the long bar and looked disappointed. “Even this much weight is not giving me any thrill. Mm?” He noticed that Doug was standing at the door. “What?”“I was asking you why you’re exercising at this hour,” Doug said. “Shouldn’t you be conserving your stamina for the monster wave that’s going to hit us soon? It’s going be a long battle, after all.”Jim noticed that Doug’s arms had gotten a little bigger. “What did you do to your arms?”“Ah, this?” Doug squeezed his muscles and showed his biceps that looked almost twice as big as they normally would
There were many villains and survivors that had drugged themselves and were ready to fight the monsters.Some of them straight up looked like psychopaths right now because they weren’t even blinking. Some were beating their chests like gorillas and were hanging their tongues out of their mouths like devils.“They are going to be able to fight the monsters, right?” Ronny couldn’t help but wonder. “I’m not sure if taking the drugs is a good idea or not. They themselves look crazy. I feel as if they might not be able to differentiate between a friend or foe later on.”“There’s no other way since about 80 percent of us use drugs during the monster wave,” Love Bullet told him.“That’s too many,” Ronny thought. “Now I understand why Jeremy came and tried to save Monmor in particular.“Luckily, Monmor dispatched the drugs before he died. Otherwise, these people wouldn’t have consumed these drugs. Without taking the drugs, it won’t be easy for everyone to face the monsters that come to drink
Everybody in the front lines could hear the noises and even feel the vibrations increasing in the ground.On the southern side, there were close to 2000 people guarding the borders.Ace was also among them, warming up his hands by squeezing highly-resistant hand grippers.“Get ready, guys,” Ace shouted after hearing the terrible noise of the beasts. “We’ve got the worst bunch coming for us.” The moment he said those words, more than a dozen terror birds came dashing out of the giant dark cave. These birds mostly ran on the ground, but they could also fly like chickens if necessary. And right now, they flew over the front lines and jumped on the ones in the second and third lines and plucked their heads off their shoulders as if they were plucking fruits off the ground.Blood sprayed everywhere into the air.In a matter of seconds, more than thirty people lost their lives without even being able to deal any damage to the beasts. It was a horrifying sight to behold.A terror bird was go
“Forty first-tier beasts were released on the southern side?” The villains and survivors on the eastern, western, and northern sides of the town were shocked to hear the news because they also were forced to face exactly the same number of first-tier beasts.“Forty beasts in all four directions?” Joker didn’t like what he heard. He was sitting next to Ronny’s throne on the rooftop. “The floor manager’s intentions are clear. He doesn’t want to waste any low-tier monsters. He just wants to kill all of us with the first-tier monsters. When was the last time everybody got wiped out by the monsters on the second floor? Definitely been a decade or two at the least, or maybe even more.”“I was looking forward to drinking the ghost fox’s blood, but this is bad,” Love Bullet commented. “I don’t want to die and end up as a monster poop.”“You’ve got quite the shitty imagination there,” Ronny snorted.“Boss King, why don’t you jump in and defeat those first-tier monsters?” Love Bullet quickly as
