Chapter 33 - Chapter 33 {Jungle Mission with Some Friends}

Scene – Inside the Jungle

Tianzhu, Dana, and Madan are traveling through the jungle while hunting monsters.

Dana: Don't forget, we also have to collect the monsters' bodies as proof.

Tianzhu: Yeah, I know. I didn't forget. I stored their bodies in my sub-space.

Madan: Sub-space?

Tianzhu: It's a magic that creates a storage space where you can keep your items and take them out whenever you need.

Madan: And they stay the same inside?

Tianzhu: Yes.

Madan: Oh, nice! Teach me that magic too.

Tianzhu: Sure, but later.

Madan: Yeah…

Scene – A Mysterious Scream

Suddenly, they hear a female scream.

Unknown Voice: AAAAA…! Help me!!

Madan: What was that?!

Dana: Someone is asking for help!

Madan: But who?!

Dana: How should I know?!

Tianzhu: The sound came from that side. Let's go.

They run deeper into the jungle and follow the sound. Between some huge stones, they find a girl trapped inside a prison-like cage.

Tianzhu: What is a girl doing here?!

Dana: How should I know!!!

Madan: But why is she trapped in a prison?!

Tianzhu: I'll free her. You two stay here and be careful.

Madan & Dana: Hmm. (nod)

Dana: Be careful, Tianzhu!

Tianzhu: Don't worry, nothing will happen to me!

Scene – The Trap

Tianzhu walks to the girl.

Tianzhu: Are you okay?

Girl: Huh…?! H-Help me, please!

Tianzhu: Okay, but how did you come here? And why are you trapped?

Girl: I'll tell you everything, but free me first, please!

Tianzhu: Right.

Tianzhu grabs the metal prison and breaks it.

Girl: ! (shocked)

Tianzhu: Now tell me—

The girl suddenly comes out and attacks Tianzhu's stomach with her long nails.

She transforms into a jelly-like slime monster that is an expert in shapeshifting.

Madan & Dana: !!! Tianzhu…!

Monster: Hahahaha… You seriously thought I needed help? How foolish! Humans are really weak! This was all my plan—

Suddenly, the monster gets punched and crashes into a tree.

Monster: Agh?!

Madan & Dana: Tianzhu?!

Tianzhu: Did you seriously think something like that could kill me?

Monster: ??!

The monster stands up again.

Monster: Hehe… So you are powerful. But I attacked your main organ and it clearly hit. My attack should have pierced your body. How is that possible? Some kind of magic?

Tianzhu: Think in hell.

Scene – Team Battle

Tianzhu rushes to kick the monster, but it dodges.

Suddenly, another magic attack hits the monster and sends it flying.

It was Madan's attack.

Madan: Stay away from my friend, ugly monster!

Dana and Madan join Tianzhu.

Dana: Don't forget, we're also here.

Tianzhu: Be careful. This monster can talk, so it's a powerful one.

Dana: …Really?

Tianzhu: Yes.

Madan: So what? I'll kill a powerful monster and prove my ability!

Tianzhu: That's true.

Monster: Hehehe…

The monster stands up again.

Monster: Humans, I'm not your stepping stone!

Dana: We'll see about that.

Monster: Normally, brats like you can't kill me, but if I die, I'll take at least one of you with me.

Tianzhu: Sorry, you can't.

Suddenly, Tianzhu appears behind the monster.

Monster: …!

Tianzhu: Die.

Tianzhu punches straight through its head and core.

Dana (thinking): That was really fast!

The monster dies.

Tianzhu walks back to his friends.

Tianzhu: Let's go forward. It's dead.

Madan (thinking): He killed a powerful monster so easily!!

Madan: Yeah, right.

Scene – Slime Regeneration

Suddenly, another monster rushes toward Dana from Tianzhu's side.

Tianzhu & Dana: !!

The monster tries to grab Dana, but Dana dodges. However, his leg gets scratched.

Dana: Aah!

Tianzhu: You're still alive?!

Monster: Hehehe, idiot human. I'm made of slime! If you cut me, I regenerate!

Tianzhu: Oh right, I forgot about that. If I can't cut you, I'll burn you.

Monster: ??

Madan: Fire Flame!

High-temperature flames—dark red, yellow, and white—hit the monster.

Monster: AAA… Agh…! Hehehe!

Madan: ?!!

Monster: Such a low temperature won't hurt me. But I admit, your flame has some power. It slightly increased my temperature.

Madan: What?! It didn't even work?!

The monster rushes toward Madan, but Dana grabs it and slams it into a tree.

Dana: Aah!

Monster: Agh!

Dana punches it many times, but the monster keeps regenerating.

Monster: Hehehe, it's useless. I'll just heal myself!

Dana: Then let's see if your healing is faster or my punches!!

Dana punches repeatedly, but the monster keeps healing.

Monster: Hehehe, I told you nothing will happen to me!

Dana: Damn you! Heal from this punch if you can! EARTH PUNCH!

A powerful punch covered in brown aura hits the monster, blasting part of its body.

Dana falls to the ground exhausted.

Dana: Aah… aah…! It can still heal?! I'm exhausted…!

Monster: Hehehe! Humans have such low stamina—

Scene – Tianzhu's Divine Flame

Suddenly, Tianzhu punches the monster. His hand transforms into slime and shatters the monster into many pieces.

But the pieces start regenerating.

Tianzhu: Not so fast! DIVINE FLAME!

Golden, silver, and white flames erupt from Tianzhu's hand and burn all the monster's body parts.

Madan: Whoa…! You're so powerful, Tianzhu!

All the monsters die.

Dana (thinking): He has already surpassed me…

Tianzhu: Let's move forward.

Madan: No, no more.

Dana: Yeah, this is enough for this mission. I'm really tired.

Tianzhu (thinking): They got this tired from just one monster fight? Maybe because of my training, I'm still energetic… Anyway.

Tianzhu: Then let's go back.

Madan: Yeah…

Dana: Time to go back.

Scene – All three return.
