Bab 147: Ch. 141 - Fear the monsters! [3]

"Are you sure about this report? If I caught you lying, you will not only be fired but I'll make sure your family won't find any will to live again." Inside the White House, the office of the President, Thomas was sitting on his chair while reading the report that the remaining soldiers of the unit gave to him.

After 2 days since the mission was given to them, the unit was finally able to call back to them and report their situation.

After hearing that the Unit that they sent was almost wiped out if it wasn't for a man with horns and wings sparing them, Thomas was both outraged and confused at the situation.

Instead of encountering some known monsters like Dracula or Frankenstein, instead they encountered a being they called the Devil based on his appearance that resembles a devil depicted by the christian religion.

So, after hearing their situation, the Army General didn't hesitate to call the rescue squad to extract the remaining unit out of that damned forest .

And here they are now, each soldier was writing their reports based on their own perspectives and Thomas was reading them one by one.

"Y-yes, Mr. President. Everything written on those are true!" One of the soldiers said with a nervous expression. He's nervous not because he's lying but because the fear towards what he experienced in the monster world is still fresh in his mind.

"....Correct me If I'm wrong but in every report that I read, it says that this Devil took one of you, specifically your acting leader during the operation, am I right?" Thomas stopped and stared at the eyes of the soldier, much to his nervousness before asking.

"Y-yes, Mr. President. His name is 2nd Lieutenant Jeff Benson." The soldier nodded his head and answered in confirming.

"....I see. You're dismissed." Thomas waved his hand and said after getting the information he needed. Although he can use his mind's ability to take the information that he wanted out of the soldier's mind however, he would only do so once they're out of public because his mind ability isn't as perfect as it seems.

There's a side effect of erasing memories of a person if he used it on them or worse, completely turned the person brain dead.

Although Thomas isn't someone who cares about such pathetic creatures however, like what he said before, he'll only do it once they're out of the public. As of now, the Army General and several of his advisors are also in the office, so it's too risky to use it now.

After the soldier left the room, Thomas and the rest in the office were left to contemplate about the report.

"This is unbelievable. I thought Dracula was the only one who is considered a threat?" The Army General couldn't help but ask Thomas in confusion and doubt.

"...Be silent for a minute, I'm thinking." Thomas said and threw a stern glare towards the Army General.

The Army General could only silently sigh and step back to let the President think by himself.

'Something definitely isn't right. This Devil...' Thomas muttered in his mind while taking a paper out of the folder. On the folder is a rough sketch of Jin based on the soldier's description of him.

'He doesn't look like someone from this world.' Thomas clenched his fists while staring at the paper with Jin's face sketched on it.

A horrible thought has appeared in his mind.

'This is definitely a reincarnator like me! There's another reincarnator out there beside me!' Thomas crumpled the paper while yelling in anger inside his mind. His feeling of being unique in this world is already gone! Ann seeing that this Devil is already on the monster side, another terrible thought has appeared in his mind.

'Hopefully, he hasn't met with Mavis yet.' Thomas breathed in and out while the Army General and his advisors were looking at him like he's a weirdo. Though they weren't obviously showing it.

***

While Thomas was praying to the God that reincarnated him, hoping that Jin hasn't touched Mavis yet.

The main character of the story had a surprise back home when he got back.

As soon as he entered the door of the castle, he was met with a black Furball smashing against his chest before wrapping her arms around Jin.

"What the?" At first, Jin was expecting either Rapunzel or Elsa to hug him out of the blue however when he got a closer look at who hugged him, it turns out to be none other than your favourite vampiric goth.

"Mavis?" Seeing her rubbing her head against his chest, Jin nervously looked at Dracula, expecting a shock look on his face. However to his surprise, Dracula and Martha were standing side by side while looking at them with warm and loving eyes. Something that Jin wasn't expecting considering the current situation.

"....It's fine now..." Mavis happily purred while assuring Jin. She can hear from Jin's heart beat that he got nervous when she hugged him.

'Who are you, Tigress?' Jin's lips quivered when he heard and felt Mavis purring on his chest like a little cat.

"Can someone please tell me what's going on here?" Jin said while looking around. He also saw his women looking at him as if they were proud or something.

"....Let's talk later. For now, let's focus on our current trouble." Dracula stepped forward and said while Mavis happily tip-toed away after separating from Jin.

'Seriously, what's wrong with every woman I encounter?' Jin mentally shook his head and decided to ignore this for a while. He got an interesting individual behind him.

"Jin, who's that guy behind you?" Dracula has long noticed someone standing behind Jin and he has been longing to ask Jin about it.

"Oh him? Don't worry, he's a human soldier." Before Jin could continue his words, the monsters quickly pointed their nails and claws towards Jeff while some backed away and hid behind Dracula's back.

"Guys guys, relax. He's harmless without a weapon. Trust me." Jin chuckled while calming them down.

"How do we know, he's harmless!" Eunice stepped forward and asked in doubt while doing her usual posture, placing her arms under her non-existent bosom.

"Grrr...Frank, are you talking behind my back again?" Eunice suddenly felt like someone was talking bad about her, so her first suspect was none other than her husband as he's the only one who knows her the most.

"Me again? Why me?!" Frankenstein replied while sighing in exasperation, indicating how tired he is by enduring Eunice's personality.

"And now, you're talking back to me, huh? It seems like you have grown some balls even though you just stitched someone else's balls on your crotch." Eunice then proceeded to further humiliate Frankenstein who could only close his ears from the noise and smiled in relief after seeing that it was effective.

Meanwhile, all the men in the hotel including Jeff felt bad for Frankenstein for having such a bad wife.

'Heh, if this was back in my world, women would definitely shout 'Girl Power' or something.' Jin chuckled inside his mind before going back to the current topic.

"If you still think he's harmful, then how about someone test it out." Jin confidently said while looking around. The monsters were shocked by Jin's words and quickly looked away, not wanting to be picked by Jin to test if Jeff is truly harmful or not.

Even Jeff was shocked by Jin's words. Just so you know, the moment he stepped inside, his entire hairs on his skin all stood and shivered at the same time. If he wasn't a trained soldier, perhaps he would have pissed himself now just by being stared at by countless monsters that could only be seen in fiction movies and such

'What have I gotten myself into?' Jeff regrettably said to himself. Oh, if only he could turn back time, he would have definitely chosen to go back to his homeland. However, for some reason, he agreed to stay behind and come with Jin.

'Even now, my bad luck is still trying to make my life worse huh?' Jeff mentally chuckled to himself before turning his attention back to the monsters. Hopefully, the monster that would be testing him out isn't as creepy as Frankenstein or the huge Bigfoot he can see behind the crowd of monsters.

"Blueeerghh" While the crowd was looking away, someone suddenly raised his hand among the crowd. What's unusual about this was that the hand was green and waving around like a jelly.

The crowd quickly stepped away from the monster who bravely raised his hand.

Surprisingly, it turns out to be Blobby, the green jelly monster.

"Blob? Put down your hand, are you crazy!?" Wayne and Griffin were shocked that Blob dared to volunteer himself so they quickly tried to convince him otherwise.

Unfortunately for them, Blob turned stubborn this time as it seems like something is driving him for making such a decision.

"Well..Good luck Blob. Don't go overboard on him." Jin then gave Blob a thumbs up before turning around and joining the crowd.

However, he first patted Jeff's shoulders and whispered.

"Don't hold back either. This will determine if you can stay here or not." Jin mysteriously said before walking away.

'I didn't even ask for this. You just tempted me to come with you by telling me about my luck problem.' Jeff's mouth twitched and he said to himself before looking at Blob, his current opponent.

'I mean, he's just a blob of jelly, it shouldn't be that hard, right?'

Bab 148: Ch. 142 - Showdown!

Jeff was sweating heavily. He can feel it in his hands and beads of sweat trickling all over his body.

In front of him is Blobby who was stretching his jelly body by imitating the limbs of a human.

To be honest, Blobby isn't actually that strong. He's just a blob of jelly. Yes, just jelly. At first, Jin thought that Blob had some kind of acidic jelly inside him that could melt matters. However, he remembered in the movie that Blob was used to save Johnny from falling, forcing him to land inside Blob. And nothing happened to Johnny that time.

Jin also tried it himself and even asked Blob about it. Unfortunately, he's just a blob of jelly without any offensive attacks.

But that doesn't mean Blob is weak because his defense is top notch! Even stronger than Jin's defense himself! In fact, not only defense but also Blob's vitality!

Not only Blob is immune to physical attacks like a slime in fantasy novels, he's also near unkillable due to his regenerative abilities. As long as there's a single dot of jelly remaining of Blob, he would be able to regenerate himself back to his prime in just a single minute.

So in Jin's eyes, Jeff is no match against Blob, despite having no offensive attacks.

"Uhm....Is there a courtesy like bowing or something?" Jeff assumed a boxing stance while asking Blob about their culture when it comes to sparring. He thought that since they're a whole different species from humans, they must have some kind of different culture than the humans.

Seeming as if he understood him, Blob shook his head and stood still. At least that's what it looks like to others but to Blob, he's already assuming his stance.

***

"Any reason why you took him?" Tigress asked Jin who was beside her.

"....Just my guts, combined with his unique aura that gives him bad luck, but I also feel like he's an important person in this world." Jin answered, his eyes never leaving Jeff's figure. Wanting to uncover the mystery shrouding Jeff.

"I see. You know, I noticed something."

"What?" Jin replied while his eyes never leaving Jeff's figure.

"You're not training yourself anymore." Tigress then pointed at his body.

"Huh?" Jin was surprised by what Tigress said. He wasn't actually expecting it.

"I said, you're not training anymore." Tigress repeated while pointing at his body again.

"I mean, I just trained my psychokinesis before this, right?" Jin remained oblivious to what Tigress was hinting to him.

"I'm talking about your body. You're not training it anymore. You also rarely fight using your body." As a Kung Fu master who has dedicated herself to training one's own physiology, Tigress was annoyed that Jin was ignoring his martial arts and bodily strength and instead, he seems to be addicted to his psychokinesis ability.

"....Well, I'm just focusing on improving what I currently lacked. As of now, my body strength is at its peak while there's more room for my psychokinesis to improve." Jin made a good enough reason and said.

"...But what if you get addicted to the feeling of fighting someone without using your body?" Tigress said with a disheartened tone.

Jin chuckled and patted her head. Though he was contemplating what Tigress just said. As a matter of fact, Tigress was right. Because of the pleasure of sitting behind the scenes but still being able to kill your enemies gives Jin a sense of euphoria. The same feeling that he felt when he first fought back in the Kung Fu Panda world.

'I should train my body sometimes, hopefully, my martial skills are still good as new.' Jin looked at his own body and said to himself before shifting his focus back to Jeff and Blob.

***

'What should I do? Should I attack first?' Unlike Jin who knows all of Blob's capabilities, Jeff was the opposite. Since he's not sure what Blob can do, Jeff was left to worry about whether he should strike first or let Blob strike first.

'Why is he just standing there?' Jeff raised his eyebrow as he noticed that Blob was standing still while staring at him.

Jeff then mistook this kind of attitude into something else.

'Is he letting me strike first?' Jeff whispered to himself, thinking whether he should take the bait or not.

'Oh God, please turn off my bad luck at least just for this moment.' Jeff gulped his saliva and prayed in his mind. Though losing doesn't seem bad also as he would be spared and seen as harmless by the monsters if he lost this battle.

'That's right, I should just throw this fight then.' Jeff confidently said to himself, sighing in relief that he doesn't have to risk himself when there's nothing bad for him to lose.

That's when he felt a burning glare at the back of his head and when he turned around, he saw the Devil, Jin glaring at him with stern eyes.

Jeff quickly turned his head back to Blob and threw his plan away on the window.

'He definitely knows what I was planning to do!' Jeff wiped off the sweat on his forehead before breathing in and out.

'Alright Jeff. You can do this. It's just a blob monster, even my nails can probably hurt him.' Jeff assured himself, trying to give himself some confidence that he dropped earlier.

He took a deep breath and began to focus on Blob's jelly figure. Taking notes of several sides where he could attack first.

After making the decision, Jeff didn't hesitate any more and quickly ran towards Blob.

Obviously, Jeff wouldn't yell on the top of his lungs as such things only happen in movies. It's seriously a dumb thing to do in a fight.

"Huff!" Jeff has long removed his gloves so instead of punching the big blob of jelly, Jeff decides to use his nails instead as his instincts tells him that it is more effective than just punching him.

And it turns out, he was right! The moment he arrived in front of Blobby, Jeff was like a rabid cat, constantly slashing and slashing his nails on the front body of Blob. Although he could feel the slimy feeling being inserted inside his nails, Jeff ignored this and blindly clawed his way through the body of Blob.

When he saw several jellies dropping down on the floor, Jeff was happy as he thought that he was doing something but when he saw that Blob's entire body was still intact without any signs of 'damage' that he just did to him, Jeff was both shocked and confused.

"What?" Jeff muttered in confusion while Blob happily stared at him as if watching a child playing on his father's beard.

"Blueerrghh!" Although Jeff cannot understand what he's saying however, guessing from the way his body shivers and the sound he makes, Jeff comes to an assumption that Blob is laughing at him or at least his attempt to hurt him.

'It doesn't matter. I don't care whether I win or not, in the end, losing will give me the best benefit.' Jeff mentally shrugged and waited for Blob's turn to attack him, so he stood in his place.

1 second

2 seconds

3 seconds

...

1 minute!

After waiting for almost a whole minute! Jeff finally noticed what was wrong. Not only was Blob not attacking him, but he's just standing in his place watching him like he's some kind of toy.

"I adm-" Just as Jeff was about to admit defeat, Blob quickly made his move and inserted one of his jelly made tentacles inside Jeff's mouth, so he wouldn't be able to surrender.

"Blueerrghh!" Jeff was being suffocated while feeling like he's gonna puke at the same time.

"Ugh." Elsa and Rapunzel both made a disgusted expression while Jin was surprised to see such an attack coming from Blob.

'That's cool, I've never thought of that.' He said to himself.

Meanwhile, other monsters started cheering for Blob, they raised their hands and chanted both Blob's name and their new motto that Jin introduced to them a week ago.

"Blobby!"

"Monsters, Together, Strong!"

"Gluckk! Glucckk!" Feeling the tentacle moving inside his throat, Jeff was gagging while patting Blob's jelly body, trying to gesture to him that the surrenders. However, Blob was having so much fun doing this to Jeff. So he failed to notice this gesture and was about to enlarge the tentacles so it could go further inside Jeff.

'Now, I'm feeling guilty about this.' Jin quickly stepped in and stopped Blob.

"Alright, we've seen enough. Blob, that's enough." Jin loudly announced much to everyone's dismay while Blob could only reluctantly follow Jin's words and removed his tentacle inside Jeff, finally giving him the time to breathe.

"I'm sorry about that, boy. I didn't expect Blob to attack like that." Jin patted Jeff's shoulder and apologized.

He then proceeded to use his chi to heal whatever injury is caused by Blob inside his body.

"I believe you've all seen enough that this person right here is harmless." Jin then helped Jeff stand up and announced to the monsters.

"Oh man, the show's over already?" Though one of them complained, Jin never cared about it. As the majority among the monsters agreed to him that Jeff is a harmless human.

"But my Lord, is there any particular reason why you brought him here?" Wayne asked with a puzzled expression.

"That's a good question..." Jin mysteriously smiled and said before continuing.

"Have you guys ever heard of Spies?"
