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?"

Bab 149: Ch. 143 - Focusing on self

"Spies?" They all wondered in unison. While Jin simply left it at that, whatever is running in their minds, Jin doesn't care. He has matters to take care of other than sooting their curiosities.

"Anyways, see you all later, I still have matters to take care of." Jin waved his hand at them and grabbed Jeff by his collar before eventually leaving the scene.

"And there he goes..." Rapunzel said while watching Jin's leaving figure.

"So....anyone wants Liver Cupcakes?" Rapunzel smiled and awkwardly offered while looking at Tigress, Rapunzel and Mavis who just recently joined them.

"Ooohh, but I love ScreamCheese more, so i'll have to decline your generous offer!" Mavis's eyes twinkled before returning back to normal and politely declining Rapunzel's offer.

"That's unfortunate. How about you guys?" Rapunzel muttered the first sentence to herself before turning her head to the other two and asked.

"I'd rather sleep." Tigress shook her head and said before stretching her arms while walking away. She's been out of the hotel for 2 days, watching over those soldiers. So she's going to get her beauty sleep. Not to mention, she's quite angry at Jin for not keeping his promise to her of fighting the soldiers on her own. Either he forgot about it or he did it on purpose, who knows.

"Me too." Elsa also replied and said.

"Oh come on you guys. Fine! I'll just eat by myself then!" Rapunzel pouted and stomped her way towards the dining hall.

While every monster was left confused and to think about what Jin just said.

The main character of the story was walking on the hallway along with Jeff who is just as much as confused as the other monsters.

"What do you mean, spy? You want to use me to become a spy?" Obviously, despite being driven by curiosity which is the reason why he's here, Jeff is still a human by heart, he still has his humanity. So there's no way he'd betray his race by being a spy for the monsters.

"Oh that? Don't take it seriously, my plan for you is more than just a spy." Jin waved his hand at him and said.

"More than a spy? What is it then?" Raising his eyebrows, Jeff confusingly asked again.

"Too many questions, look you'll just be my tour guide, okay? I'm curious about the world of humans, so I want you to lead me there and become my guide." Jin said before entering his room, followed by Jeff.

"A tour guide?" Jeff tilted his head and said.

He then noticed that Jin was already changing his clothes and a luggage can be seen placed on the bed as Jin placed all of his necessities including clothes and toothbrush inside the luggage.

"Yes, a tour guide. But don't worry, I'll take care of your bad luck. It's a simple thing really, do you know Chi?" Jin replied while still placing his things inside the luggage.

"Chi? You mean those Chinese thingies?" Jeff has heard of the Chi however, he only heard it in Chinese movies and such.

"Chi is some kind of energy that ancient Chinese warriors use right?" Jeff asked, not sure about his knowledge towards Chi.

"You're half right. However, ancient Chinese warriors aren't the only ones who uses it. Many people such as me also use it and I'm not Chinese." Jin replied and said before closing his luggage and further informing Jeff about what he's supposed to do.

"Anyways, you'll only work as my tour guide and as we travel across the human world, I'll slowly help you lose your bad luck." Jin smiled and said.

Jeff doesn't know whether he should sigh in relief or not but since he's already here, then he decided to take a gamble. Hoping that his bad luck won't screw him up again.

"So, are we going now?" Jeff asked, though it's already obvious from the fact that Jin has already prepared his belongings and is wearing the perfect attire for the tour

"Yep, you see. I wanna have to Me Time, you get it? I've been focusing too much on either my women or other people. It's time for me to focus on myself. So, I'll be going alone on this journey of mine."

"Me Time? I didn't expect monsters to have that either." Jeff chuckled and said, his view towards monsters is slowly changing.

"Monsters are like humans too. Just different in appearance and bodily structure." Jin casually waved his hand again and grabbed his luggage.

"Alright, let's do this." Jin then proceeded to open the window of the room, letting the wind flow inside.

"We're....gonna jump?" Jeff gulped his saliva and asked with fear in his tone. It's not like he's afraid of the height of something, if so, then how did he become a pilot in the first place? And a military one at that. What he's afraid of is that he thought that Jin was thinking of jumping through the window alongside him.

"Oh come on. It's not that high to be honest." Jin rolled his eyes and said before approaching Jeff and grabbed him by his collar.

"W-wait, s-shouldn't I also prepare myself like taking a bath or something?" Jeff tried to make excuses as he thought that Jin was really thinking of jumping through the window alongside him. Completely forgetting the fact that Jin can fly due to him being in a state of fear.

"You can do it once we're in the human world." Jin curtly replied before jumping through the window and even somersault diving.

"YAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Jeff clutched on Jin's body like a koala, fearing for his dear life.

"GOD HELP ME!!!" Jeff loudly prayed.

While Jeff was panicking, Jin was holding paper and a prn while writing down an excuse letter before folding it into a paper plane and threw it back to his open window.

Watching it fly inside, Jin happily smiled and used his chi to float in the air.

Anyways, he won't have to worry about humans attacking, as he would be informed firsthand thanks to the new traps that he laid back.

And just in case, he also placed traps on the nightmare traps that Dracula placed like a forest full of ghosts and a cemetery guarded by zombies. These were the original traps Dracula did in the movie, but unfortunately, these traps became useless due to the secret entrance that the humans found. Although it is very far away it still leads to the castle which is why it's considered as a secret entrance.

Opening his left eye, Jeff was flabbergasted that he's still alive and kicking.

"Am I in heaven?" Suddenly, Jeff had a horrible realization.

"No, son. You're still on earth, alive and kicking. Though I don't think Heaven would accept you." Jin chuckled and said.

"Oh thank go- wait what did you say?"

"Nothing, boy. Let's hurry up. I want to get there before the sun comes up." Jin said before channeling his chi on his foot soles and flew forward majestically.

"W-woahh." Jeff clung on Jin like a koala once again. However, after feeling the wind brushing up against his face, he got calm. His arms on Jin's body loosened a bit.

"This is wonderful." Jeff muttered to himself. This is the first time he actually felt that flying was fun. His experience as a pilot might have him interacting with the sky however Jeff never once felt the wind brushing on his face like this. Even the one where he trains in using the parachute, it never gives him an experience like this.

"I know right. That's what others also say when they feel this feeling." Jin smiled to himself and said, actively referring to himself when he first flew in the sky before closing his eyes, also wanting to have a feel of the air washing his face.

'Hopefully, they would like my sudden leave.' Jin said to himself concentrating on his flight.

Back in the human world, Thomas was alone in his office. Constantly looking outside from time to time.

Ever since he encountered Vlad and how his fight with him was one sided, made him cautious about the old vampire. At first, he doesn't have any idea why everything in this world is so wrong. Because it turns out there's one more reincarnator beside him! At least that's according to Thomas's assumption.

That's why he placed not only 10 human bodyguards, but he also assigned 5 vampires near his office. Thomas has always been afraid of death and that's a real fact.

If it wasn't for what happened to him with Vlad, he'd never thought that he was afraid of death. Because the last time he died, he thought that would be his last death especially since he thought that he's now a strong vampire, a President of America, has a hundred of vampire followers and he knows more about thi world than anyone could ever be.

With those 'benefits' that he had in his arsenal, Thomas has long forgotten the fear of death. And now that fear has resurfaced, much stronger than never, making him cautious and fearful of anything bad happening to him at any moment.

Unknown to Thomas, his death is imminent and inevitable, because the person who will make him experience death again has just arrived at his own country.

"Shouldn't we focus on more important tasks at hand?" Jeff was rubbing his forehead while reminding Jin who has already eaten his 5th cone of ice cream.

"Last." Jin simply said while indulging himself with the tasty flavor of the ice cream in his hand.

'How long has it been since I last ate an ice cream?' Jin now has no regrets in escaping the gloomy castle and visiting the human world.
