JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 251
Jim opened his eyes. And the first thing he saw was Joker drinking some soft drinks and was also eating spicy chips that looked abnormally red.Seeing Jim wake up, Joker smiled with relief and put the chips packet forward. “Do you want some?”Jim took a few seconds to understand where he was, and then he pushed the chips packet away. “Don’t eat that trash. It looks like red dye 40 is mixed in it.”“So what?” Joker asked.“Why do you think kids have short attention spans these days?” Jim asked.“You mean…” Joker’s expression changed.“From the inability to concentrate or sit still or lacking patience or not having the sense of danger which is natural to humans…” Jim said. “You lose a lot of what gives you common sense just by eating those dyed-foods regularly, especially the ones coated with red dye 40. It’s mixed in many foods these days. And children eat these dyed foods and they also take a lot of sugar through soft drinks and sweets. No wonder they are getting ADHD symptoms. Sugar
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 252
Ever since Jim picked up the hero’s profession, a bounty was being placed on him on the third floor.That bounty increased a lot after Jim defeated strong villains like Nexa, Monmor, and Jeremy.It more than doubled when Jim challenged Barbosa and reached 5000 gold. However, after the lower floors were destroyed, Jim’s bounty once again doubled and reached 10,000 gold.More than half of the scouts came down just for Jim’s bounty and also Ronny’s bounty if possible. Ronny’s bounty was 1000 gold on the third floor.Even Joker had a bounty put on him on the third floor, though it was only 650 gold.“Whoever kills him gets all the gold!”“Screw that! Whoever gets his head will get all the gold!”Ten scouts rushed at Jim like hyenas attacking a lone lion. There was no fear in their eyes, as if they were certain about their victory. The thought of Jim being stronger than them didn’t even come to their minds as they were living on the third floor.However, it was safe to say that they didn’t

“Heavenly Bomb!” He struck Bloody Corpse’s jaw as his right hand was pulled into the mouth.BA DA BOOM~~!!It was one of the special attacks Jim prepared just to fight the three immortals. It was packed with oxygen which wasn’t flammable by itself but could easily set other things on flames upon collision with them. And the same thing happened with Bloody Corpse.Bloody Corpse’s head was set on flames that burned so brightly and strongly that even the ceiling cracked in the cave.Even with a burning head, Bloody Corpse threw a punch at Jim’s head.Jim ducked diagonally and then punched in the liver with his right hand. Bloody Corpse was sent flying into the distant wall.Ace and others were left stunned by what they saw.“Run,” Jim shouted. “This place is going to collapse soon. No matter what happens from here on out, don’t look back. Just run. I’ve cleared the rocks at the entrance, so escape outside.”Though Ace wanted to fight and help Jim at least a little, he knew that he would

A big part of the ceiling above them collapsed, but none of those big rocks were able to touch them because of the energy their collision kept spreading.All the rocks fell on their sides and kept getting pushed back.Jim felt his barrier weakening as the demonic energy corrupted it steadily. Jim was pouring his energy into the barrier, but it wasn’t doing a good job at regenerating the barrier.“Not bad, Hero,” Bloody Corpse smirked. “How about this?” he suddenly released a pulse of energy that added to the pressure he already put. This broke the barrier at once. Bloody Corpse’s attack struck Jim’s palms directly, but then Jim also used Double Phantom Palm to reflect the opponent’s attack.This negated each other’s attacks, but Bloody Corpse had a clear edge, and Jim was pushed back until he eventually got sent flying into the piles of rock and rubble around him.Jim used them to bounce off and fly back at Bloody Corpse. “Heavenly Bomb Barrage!” He unleashed a chain of attacks that B

“These little shits…” Bloody Corpse shivered with rage. “How dare you ignore me! I’ll require you to pay with your lives for this!” He spread his arms out, and two black chains released from out of his palms. “Night Light Chains!” These energy chains grew long and tried to seal all four of them. “Seal their souls forever!”Jim formed a large sphere of vivre that covered all of them, including the sabertooth. It blocked the black chains that kept absorbing all the light around, making everything absolutely dark. Within seconds, only the space inside the sphere was bright. It looked like there was no means of escape for them because blackness surrounded them in every direction.“This is crazy,” Electric Assassin could feel the lightning energy all around on the outside of the sphere. “If we step out, we’re going to be burnt to ashes. How long can you hold on against this, Jim?”“Hold on?” Jim raised his hand, which released bright tentacle-like structures out of the sphere, which pierce

Bloody Corpse thought that the fight was over and that he caught the hero in his clutches.And so he went for the kill without a shred of hesitation. He wanted to chomp Jim’s face off in one big bite.However, he suddenly found his body freezing in its tracks against his will. “What the…” it took him a second to realize that it was Jim’s psychic vivre that was pushing his body in the opposite direction. This made it difficult for Bloody Corpse to keep the pressure on Jim’s throat.Thanks to Jim’s efforts, the pressure on his neck was reduced a bit. Jim used this opportunity to put more stress on the opponent by putting even more mental pressure.Bloody Corpse felt his brain boiling under pressure, and it made him really uncomfortable. He tried to shake his head and release some pressure, but it wasn’t proving easy, and it made him scream crazily.His scream was so loud and strong that the wind pressure he generated was able to move rocks out of their positions.That scream definitely
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 257
The cave where Jim and Bloody Corpse fought collapsed now completely.Joker and others had managed to escape in time, but they were worried about Jim because they were certain that Jim was trapped inside, fighting Bloody Corpse on top of that.More than anyone else, Joker was the one who felt most tense, but at the same time, he was also the one who believed the most that Jim would manage to escape alive.After the rocks stopped falling, Joker began to move the rocks one by one. Ace and others began to do the same thing.“Do you think this is the right thing to do?” Electric Assassin voiced his mind. “What if we managed to open a path and then the person that we find isn’t Jim but Bloody Corpse.”Nobody said anything for a while.“If that happens, then we’ll deal with it at that time,” Scarlet Storm said. “We cannot go to the third floor without Jim if we want to survive there.”“What makes you say that?” Ronny asked. “Is there something on the third floor that targets us?”“I heard t

Many hours later.On the third floor of the beast dungeon.“Why didn’t a single soul return?” Binnie was biting his nails in frustration. She sent many scouts, but none of them returned to tell her exactly what was happening on the second floor, or to be precise, in the destroyed lower half of the dungeon. “What were those tremors we felt? Who was fighting after the floor collapsed? Not knowing anything is freaking annoying. Should I just go and check it myself?”Unable to withstand the tension anymore, she rushed to the stairs that led to the lower floors. The stairs were sealed off by a black fog that would confuse anybody that entered it without permission.Binnie uttered a mantra in ancient tongue, and then the fog parted and gave her way. She was stepping forward, but then she felt the presence of many people climbing the stairs.“Are they returning?” she grinned, as there was no need for her to go to the lower floors now.She waited there patiently.A couple of minutes later, a
