“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
Barbosa crashed into a building and its wall broke. He fell on top of a table inside a room on the first floor.His broken chin hurt, but it repaired itself at a fast pace before he even got up to his feet.“Fuck. I got careless for a second,” Barbosa was getting up, but then he saw Jim already coming at him. “Krgh,” he rolled off the table in an attempt to dodge the attack.But Jim changed the direction of his hand at the last second.“Phantom Palm!”A palm-shaped energy struck Barbosa and crushed him along with the floor beneath him. Barbosa was sent to the ground floor, and he ate a lot of dust in the process. It made him cough and sneeze.Before the dust settled, Jim’s fist came down like a missile.Barbosa cross-blocked the attack perfectly. “Don’t get cocky, Kid!” He roared and pushed Jim back just by flexing his arms. “Who do you think I am? I am Blood Fist Barbosa! Even insolent children stop crying when they hear the sound of my fists!” He kicked himself up and punched the ai
“Shit. Did I send him flying toward the tomb?” Barbosa quickly rushed over to the tomb as fast as he could. Along the way, he was forced to stop as his heart began to hurt. He coughed some more blood. (Is this because of that last attack I took from him? It’s more potent than I thought.) He bore the pain, wiped his mouth clean, and then got going. He soon reached the destination.Luckily, he could see that the tomb’s door was still closed.However, what he didn’t expect to see was that Jim was already up on his feet. He was bleeding from not just his eyes, nose, and mouth, but from almost every pore in his body, and yet, he was able to stand and glare at Barbosa.“I-Impossible,” Barbosa rubbed his eyes and looked again. Jim was still standing. How was this possible? “My attack must have destroyed everything in his body and even cooked his bones. He should be dead before his body could even hit the ground. Not only is he still breathing, but he’s also able to still stand and look at me
A while ago.“The real power is not in an energy that moves irrationally, but one that moves with rationality,” Jim was reading the War God arts. “Look at the sea waves. They don’t crash the shore in a straight line. They have ebbs and flows, but they also spiral inwardly as they reach the shore, as if they want to engulf everything in front of them. That is the nature of the sea. It destroys something and also absorbs everything in its path and makes it its own. That is the way of the sea. And it achieves that because its magnetic fields move in a spiral shape.“The spiral shape is found everywhere in nature. From shells of snails to the florets of sunflowers, you can see the spirality everywhere, even in the heavens above. Human life itself takes shape in a spiral form in the mother’s womb, with utmost precision. There’s no better formula of life, strength, and vitality, than the spiralness you see all around in the world. That’s why one must learn to spiral the energy in them, thr
The Beast Brotherhood was made of eight tribes. And the Master Council was the group that decided on every important matter. The Eight Masters were the rulers of the eight tribes. They are also called the Beast Masters.Currently, in the Master Hall which was built underground in some part of the world, the eight masters were having a meeting by appearing as holograms.The only real person in that room was Tenzin, whom all of them were interrogating.“Why did you kill your third brother?” her own biological father, Giles Demona, asked her. “And you even killed the sons and daughters of other tribes along with your brother?”“They were all grumbling and murmuring about my looks,” Tenzin said. “That’s why I killed them?”All the other seven Masters except for Giles rebuked her right away.“You kill them just for that?”“What if we also kill you just because you talk with us with arrogance and impudence?”“Yeah, we should weigh her with the scale she’s weighing others, so let’s judge her
On the third floor of the dungeon. Everyone was feeling anxious even though the tremors below them had ended. “Are you sure this place won’t collapse?” Little Nightmare was fearlessly asking the floor manager who was an old lady with a few missing teeth. “The third floor has two layers of flooring beneath us,” the floor manager, Binnie, said while eating a carrot pudding. “Though we lost one layer, there’s still another layer intact. So, the ground beneath us won’t collapse. You can just go to your place and sleep or do whatever you want without worrying about losing your ground.” “Do you hear what you’re saying?” Little Nightmare yelled again. “If we lost one layer so fast, then what’s the guarantee that we won’t lose the second layer in the same fashion? How do you expect us to feel safe when we’re all in danger? Have you even found what caused this trembling and what destroyed the second layer of foundation? Or were you so busy eating fucking carrot pudding?” “Right now, I wasn
In one of the caves near where there used to be the second floor.“Do you think Jim and Joker are still alive?” Doug asked Ace. They had hid themselves in one the cellars, behind the wooden boxes.“Keep your voice low,” Ace hissed at him. “There are beasts still roaming out there in this cave.”“S-Sorry.”“I hope they’re both alive,” Ace said in a low voice.Love Bullet was still tending to Ronny. “But what bothers me is the future that’s ahead of us. If the second floor is destroyed, then what will happen to us? Will we be allowed to go to the third floor? Or will they purge us for causing this mess?”Her words only worsened their expressions.“You’ve seen those laboratory rooms, haven't you, on your way here?” Love Bullet reminded them. “Those were definitely human-animal hybrid experiments. In the worst case, they might restrain us and then use us for those experiments.”Doug felt chills thinking about it because he had seen a horse-faced man in the laboratory, who was banging on t
