Lovelace was visibly surprised to see Jim not only up on his feet but also full of vigor. “He took that attack without defending himself properly and still survived? That’s not fair. There should be a hole in his chest. How is he still fine?” She ignored Doug and turned to face him. “Whatever. This means I can fight him now. And…” She released red light out of the pores of her body, which destroyed all the floating rubble at her. “If you can build things around you, then I can destroy them all. Building something is always harder than destroying the same. So, you’ll be using more energy and stamina than me if you keep doing such silly things, my love.”“I remember you…” Jim’s body was burning hot, releasing vapors so hot that they were visible to the naked eye. He saw Doug’s situation, and it angered him some more. “You’re going to regret messing with my friends.”“I do everything out of love,” she retorted. “And there are no regrets in love.”“Love? You call harassing and hurting th
“Spider Web!”A large web of light flew toward Jim insanely fast.Jim didn’t try to dodge this time. He thrust his palm forth and created a vivre barrier which managed to stop the web, but the web began to melt into the barrier and weakened it.“Crocodile’s Tail!”Lovelace this time sent a whip-like attack that tried to blast its way through the barrier. And it did manage to break the barrier, but Jim already created another barrier.“Lizard’s Tongue!”She sent a thrusting attack this time, which broke the barrier, but then Jim caught the rope-like light that was quite hot. But his spiritual vivre helped his hand bear the heat. He pulled it, but all Lovelace had to do was let go of it.“Haha, did you think I can’t let it go?” Lovelace amusedly chortled and then said, “Love Retention!”The rope in Jim’s hands was forcibly pulled back to her, and not just that, but all the light in the neighborhood was sucked toward her, making her body glow. She looked like she was some sort of an alie
Lovelace relentlessly attacked Jim with her hands and feet. She was not good at martial arts like Nightmare_lily, but her attacks still packed a lot of power because of her light skill.However, she was not able to land a single proper blow on Jim anymore. Though she also didn’t receive any damage, she couldn’t help but be frustrated that Jim was keeping up with her speed and strategies.On top of that, she felt like her impulse was decreasing.Her Light Impulse was a gene-based amplification skill she earned, and it was not a demonic power, though the demon in her did allow her to use light in very many ways.“I’m sure I still have a lot of stamina left, so why does the impulse I gather at my arm and feet keep fading away?” as she was thinking about it, she kept the pressure on Jim, and then she noticed that his forearms look bigger. “Is it just me, or did his forearms grow bigger?”“Did you finally notice it?” Jim spoke with pain as he was having a hard time blocking all of her atta
In that moment when Love Bullet fell to the ground lifelessly, Jim really hated himself for allowing her to die.While he was battling Lovelace, he was learning and improving. Despite being on the defensive, he could feel himself getting stronger. Even though he didn’t show it on his face, he enjoyed the exchange he had with Lovelace; however, right now, all of that seemed selfishness on his part.The same selfishness that Lovelace said was equal with love.This was a huge mental blow to Jim.His arms were already feeling numb after using the War God’s reversal mirror technique. He was hoping to buy a few seconds of time to recover, but then Ronny and Love Bullet butted into his fight.Before he could do anything, one of them died, and another one was recklessly attacking the opponent.Ronny’s punch was blocked by one hand, and Lovelace clenched her fists, creating a light gauntlet around her arm. “Let me show you what a loving punch feels like!” She was about to punch him in the chin
“It doesn’t matter how many of you gang up on me,” Jim uttered, releasing spiritual vivre all around his body. He was so angry, it was reflected in his vivre which began to dry the leaves around him and made them crack and crumple to bits, even though he didn’t actively do anything. Everyone around him felt suffocating to be in his presence. “The result will not change.”“J-Jim, wait,” Electric Assassin quickly grabbed Jim’s hand as he was stepping forward. He leaned closer and whispered, “Scarlet is with us. She just signaled. Trust me.”Jim’s expression, however, didn’t change. He was planning to kill all three women before him at once. But after hearing what Electric Assassin said, he had to change his plans.“I don’t like hitting women, but I don’t mind hitting crazy women,” Jim uttered, clenching fist tightly and creating condensed vivre around his arms that looked like gauntlets. “Don’t expect me to go easy on you when you start crying and begging after tasting my punches.”Love
Jim and others were outside the building where vegetables and fruits were stored. However, none of them actually ate anything.They were all talking about what to do with Love Bullet’s body. Should she be buried somewhere on the third floor? Or should she be absorbed?Yes, Scarlet and Heath suggested that she be eaten so that she’d forever live with the rest. Joker and Ace weren’t quite against the idea, but Doug and Ronny were completely against it.Everyone looked at Jim for his answer, and he said, “Find ways to keep her body from decomposing fast. We’ll bury her outside the dungeon, in a proper place.”His words greatly astonished everyone, not just Joker and others but also Nightmare_lily and Little Nightmare who were hiding in the distance and were observing them.“What’s with his confidence?” Little Nightmare muttered. “Does he really think he can leave this dungeon soon?”“I don’t know,” Nightmare_lily said. “He’s definitely stronger than any villain I’ve fought. The technique
The fog began to thicken all over the third floor, so much so that people couldn’t see more than a couple of feet around them.Nobody understood what was happening. The fog was very cold, much more chilling and biting than the early morning winter fog.Even though nobody on the third floor could be called weak, many people still felt oppressed by the fog that began to dullen their senses as well as their bodily functions, almost making them feel as if they didn’t want to fight or even do anything. It was as if the weak-minded ones were being influenced into becoming lazy and doing nothing but just unintentionally inhaling his fog.Jim could see Doug being pulled into some kind of a dream-like hypnotic state, and so he slapped him on the back of the head. He used vivre in his attack. His psychic vivre brought Doug out of his trance-like state.Scarlet used her flames to keep the fog away from her and Heath. Joker and Ace were just blowing the fog away with their mouths, as they didn’t
Jim realized White Maiden’s identity without anyone telling him. She didn’t look like a young beauty anymore but like an old grandmother that turned into a wraith and was ready to avenge her grandson.Jim’s heart was racing, for sure, but still, he clenched his fists and stood his ground as a wave of undead monsters swarmed at him.Like a lone wolf facing against all enemies, he fearlessly rushed forth and began to use close-combat techniques he learned in War God Arts book.“Monkey Barrage!” A series of quick punches broke the bones of the undead monsters. These were attacks with pure raw power.Nevertheless, the broken bones of the monsters reattached themselves very fast.Jim still kept fighting them without stopping.[Use your spiritual vivre. It’s effective against these undeads!] Joe quickly suggested.Jim wasted no time in imbuing his fists with golden vivre. Upon contact with the undeads, they began to scream and bawl in pain but not in horror.Jim began to destroy them left a
