On the fourth floor.Demon Dwarf was watching Jim on a 80-inch television screen.“Barbosa released all three of those damned things, huh,” the humanoid lizard bartender snickered. “Do you still think he can come to this floor? I doubt he can defeat Demon Bull Taurus!”Demon Dwarf took a whiff off his black cigar and said, “Taurus sure is tough. I don’t know if he can defeat it or not because I don’t know how strong he is right now, but he can survive if he bows down before the bull.”The bartender smiled. “Nobody on the second floor or even the third floor knows that fact. The only way to not get killed by Taurus is to bow down before it and worship it! However, right now, Taurus isn’t the only one that's been released. There’s the crazy flame monkey and the diabolical night spider. Even if he might escape Taurus’ punishment, the other two beasts will still kill him.”“Let’s wait and see,” Demon Dwarf put the cigar in his mouth and chewed on it. “I have a feeling that he’s going to s
The demon bull saw Jim walking toward it, and this made it rub the ground with its front right hoof. It lowered its head and dashed forth in a fearless fight mode, ready to destroy the opponent with a mountain breaking headbutt or perhaps destroy the target with its huge horns.Jim stopped walking and let the bull come to him.“What is he doing?” Joker wondered. “Is he going to take the bull’s attack head on? That’s suicide!”The demon bull was upon Jim within seconds. Because it lowered its head further, its horns reached him first before its head.Jim grabbed its horns as best as he could and put all his strength into his arms and his feet. The demon bull’s momentum was halted. Joker’s eyes enlarged, but then, Jim did something absolutely astounding.He lifted the bull and body-slammed it to the ground, causing an earthquake to spread throughout the second floor.It was genuinely jaw-dropping.Doug, who was watching this from very far, was mind-boggled. Now he understood why Jim was
Jim’s fist moved faster than the wind. His fist went right through the thickest region of the web and pounded the Night Spider’s face.The Night Spider’s defense was no joke, but still it couldn’t last more than three hits, and its head exploded to bits. The venom in its fangs fell on the web and began to melt the web.“Was it preparing to release venom soon?” Jim wondered. “Good thing that I reacted quickly, or more people would have died. Anyway, now there’s only one beast left.” His gaze soon shifted toward the Flame Monkey that was still squatting near the cave entrance. Jim saw no fear in its eyes.“I will fight that as I said I would,” Joker voiced his mind and then rushed at the monkey.The Flame Monkey turned its tail and ran into the cave.“Is it running away?” some men sneered. “Did it shit in its fur after seeing two of its friends die? What a coward!”Joker, however, didn’t think the same. (Is it leading me to a different location that’s far away from Jim? This cunning fuc
The second floor was known as the paradise for villains but as hell for survivors. However, things changed really quickly after Jim entered the second floor.Not only did the first ranked villain Jeremy get defeated, even the 350-year-old Demon Bull was helplessly destroyed.Nobody on the second and third floors foresaw this. No one. Not a single soul.Even Ronny and Doug who were next to Jim most of the time didn’t see this happening.Right now, Ronny was sitting inside a secret home made inside a giant boulder. This was a home made by Ace many months ago to make secret deals with villains from other streets. It now came to be of use.Ronny’s body was burning hot as if he was suffering from high fever. He was still awake, but he felt very weak. Even a big man like him felt helpless against fever. He didn’t even have enough strength to clench his fist now.Ronny didn’t feel all that guilty during the times when Jim saved him from danger since they both met, but right now, he felt like
Ace stepped out, and his nails grew in size. “Demon Claw Arts…” he crossed his arms in X-shape and waved them around in different directions, releasing sharp gusts of wind that gave deep cuts to the beasts around him.Some of those also reached the ghost fox that was on the rooftop, but the ghost fox easily fended off those attacks with its tail.Ace frowned. He didn’t expect to hurt the ghost fox with those attacks, but he also didn’t expect the ghost fox to casually swat his attacks aside. “I need to get closer if I want my attacks to do any damage, but if I move away from this spot, the others will be in danger.”As he was in a dilemma, the wounded beasts attacked him. He brawled it out with them. His fighting style was also like that of a beast, and he was able to beat them one by one. To his relief, the ghost fox didn’t attack him during that time.“Is it underestimating me, thinking that it can kill me whenever it wants?” Ace’s pride was hurt, but his pride didn’t really matter
Joker used everything he got, but his flames just weren’t proving to be good enough to best the flame monkey’s flames, even though both flames were white colored.Joker wasn’t at his fastest when he was using the Ace of Hearts card. He was only at his hottest. However, unlike him, the monkey was very fast, and so it was able to deal more damage to him compared to the damage he inflicted on the monkey.Joker did have a card that would grant him the ability to manipulate water, but he wasn’t sure if he would be able to take that card out, so he didn’t take that risk.Just when Joker was getting more and more beaten up, his foot stepped on the ashes of some other beast. Suddenly, his flames strengthened by it and managed to push the flame monkey back.For a second, even Joker didn’t get what happened.But he could feel the power entering his body from the ashes under his feet. “This is…” He suddenly remembered the words his grandpa said a long time ago when he said, ‘the solution is almo
“Meteor Fist!”Barbosa punched from almost twenty feet high in the air. Jim immediately thrust his palm up in an attempt to block the attack.However, the punch did not come as he thought.Barbosa’s punch released a huge shockwave that covered a radius of almost fifty feet.BOOM~~!!A loud rumbling noise echoed as the shockwave hit the floor and formed a massive crater all around. The radius of the crater was almost thirty feet.Jim and others were at the center of the crater, but only Jim was standing on his feet. The boulder that Ace and others were all inside before was now utterly crushed to pieces. Even Joker, Ace, Scarlet Storm and Electric Assassin felt greatly oppressed under the shockwave, and their knees touched the ground.Doug’s whole body hugged the ground, and he felt like a mountain crashed on top of his head. He had no clue what was going on, only that a great amount of pain gripped his head. His bulked-up arms deflated now as blood forcibly leaked out of his arms, whi
“I will break all your teeth and tear that mouth wide open,” the energy around Barbosa’s fists took the shape of a lion’s face. He jumped forth and threw his fist.His attack pattern looked very similar to the last time, so Jim paid close attention this time and didn’t even respond to the punch until it came close.At the very last fraction of a second, Jim released vivre out through his body and blocked the punch. It wasn’t able to fully stop the punch, but it bought enough time for Jim to raise his hand and deflect Barbosa’s fist.A shockwave diagonally flew forth like a missile and destroyed multiple buildings on Jim’s right side and made a few more in the back collapse.“Not bad, but…” Barbosa used his second hand to punch at Jim’s abdomen. “Blood Fist Bite!”His punch struck the vivre surrounding Jim’s body and forced its way through and struck Jim’s belly.At the same time, Jim’s elbow came down onto Barbosa’s head.Barbosa was forced to jump back. Jim’s feet slid back just fro
