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
As Jim’s energy kept getting sucked rapidly like water into a funnel, Jim instinctively punched the ground so that the magic circle was broken, and it was at that moment, the gazes of both Jim and White Maiden met, with the latter having a surprised look on her face. Jim’s fist shot up from below and struck White Maiden’s chin resoundingly.Her feet were never on the ground, but she was still sent flying to the ceiling.Little Nightmare’s eyes bulged out of her sockets, and snot hung from her nose as she gawked at the scene in disbelief.Nightmare_lily, on the other hand, was genuinely astonished. Jim reminded her of her own dad who was a firefighter, a courageous man who was willing to do a risky job to provide for his family.Nightmare_lily has never been attracted to men her age before, and this was the first time that Jim’s sheer courage and masculinity stirred her heart. Even though he was her enemy, she never felt this happy in a long time, seeing a man being courageous and was
Almost ten minutes later.White Maiden had been relentlessly attacking Jim, trying to analyze his skill, strength, and patterns.Their battle wasn’t just a pure physical brawl like it was between Jim and Bloody Corpse.White Maiden tested him physically, mentally, and spiritually to see how he’d respond.She taunted him with words like ‘your death will be very slow.’She could tell that he was not that experienced by the way he reacted when he was doing good and when he was not doing good. He was still doing decently well when it came to controlling his emotions and not falling for her taunts and tricks.She kept raining down physical strikes from her magic staff which seemed abnormally tougher than a steel rod.“Fatal Comet Strike!” She cast a heavy, flaming blow to try and burn his skin.It did not work.“Sand Impact!” She tried to break his bones with a heavy attack.It did not work.“Execution Impact!” She tried a demonic wave attack that could break most men’s minds.However, it
Almost a hundred and twenty years ago.A ten-year-old girl joined a new school with her little heart full of hope. But her math teacher was quite a strict fellow. He would beat students for every little mistake they did.And the little girl had been suffering from a cold for years, so she used to sneeze at least once every few minutes. Especially, when the teacher would erase the chalk from the board and then slam the duster to the wall multiple times, causing the dust to fly around the class, she would sneeze a lot of times. Her friends would laugh as she kept sneezing many times. And her math teacher also found it very annoying. He hit her with the stick every time she sneezed, so that she’d control herself from sneezing. And she did as much as she could, but sometimes, they were uncontrollable, so she would end up sneezing.And the teacher would then throw in her face the chalk or duster or whatever that was in his hand at the time.She was terrified by the math teacher.She came h
