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
The metal rhino that was as big as a heavy-duty truck completely focused its attention on Joker because it had the toughest body among the monsters present there. The only beast that would be close to its toughness among its peers would be the Monk Goose.And Joker did have trouble against piercing the metal rhino’s body because its metallic body was abnormally tough. Despite its big size, it could move fast, and the most disturbing ability of this rhino was that it could send a shockwave through its horns. So, every time Joker tried to clash with it, he felt his organs trembling and that his veins might snap just from defending against its sheer strength brought about by its momentum.His diamond armor was not able to completely defend him against the vibrations released by the rhino’s horn.The metal rhino’s black horn was so tough that Joker could only barely leave scratches on it even after striking the same spot many times.Joker didn’t want to keep facing this beast, but if he h
The giant python hissed in pain after receiving Ronny’s punch, but then it violently rolled around and ran away in haste, destroying many buildings in the process.“It’s fine even after taking that hit?” Ronny was disappointed with his own punch, but at the same time, he wasn’t sure what exactly happened. How did his body act on its own? Was this the black crown’s doing?“That snake is a damn coward!” Love Bullet snorted as she came over to him. “It took one punch from you to get it to flee.” She looked at Ronny’s fist which didn’t even have a bruise on it. Her eyes were filled with respect toward him now. “You really are strong. If it’s you, I think you can defeat all those first-tier monsters. I will also give you a hand. Let’s finish them quickly, so we can go find the ghost fox!”“O-Okay,” Ronny didn’t know what exactly was going on with his body, but he felt like he could keep on fighting forever if he wanted. His veins were overflowing with energy right now. And he wanted to hit
Love Bullet attacked the cockatrice and annoyed that bird. Even though it kept flying away and also attacked her back at times, Love Bullet persisted and continued to attack its head.The cockatrice sent feathers flying toward her like daggers, but she shot at all those feathers and destroyed them, frustrating the bird even more.“Shitty bird, you thought you could kill me with your chicken feathers?” she purposely kept mocking the bird with her loud tongue. “You better take me seriously, or I’ll riddle your belly with bullets!” Though she said that, she knew her situation better than anyone. “My bullets are almost over,” she shouted at Ronny as the enraged cockatrice came charging at her. “So, do it now!” She then released two bullets with her hands intertwined. “Helix Shot!”The bullets also spun through the air in a helix shape and both the bullets perfectly struck one of the cockatrice’s eyes, making it howl in horror. It even gracefully collapsed to the floor.Ronny used this opp
After defeating or rather destroying the cockatrice that had left many terrified, Ronny moved on to fight other beasts. He didn’t take Love Bullet’s help this time to distract the beasts.He didn’t know how long it’d last, so he was giving it his all to kill as many monsters as he could. In that process, he didn’t realize that his mind was completely taken over by the black substance in his body. It was no longer Ronny that was fighting the beasts, but the black substance that had settled in his pineal gland now.And then Ronny went on a rampage. After he killed five more monsters, the winged lion that was killing other villain lords finally shifted its focus over to him.The lion flew high and roared at the top of its lungs. Its mighty roar reached all ends of the town, and every beast there heard its call.All the beasts stopped what they were doing and immediately rushed over the southern side where Ronny and others were fighting.The whole town trembled as over a hundred beasts ra
