End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues - Chapter 179

Chapter 179: Joining Forces to Defeat The Soul Ravager
The very moment Jeremy distanced himself from The Soul Ravager, a sudden surge of crimson smoke materialized around The Soul Ravager’s form. This ominous red smoke voraciously absorbed the souls of all nearby creatures, drawing them into The Soul Ravager’s body.

As the number of absorbed souls steadily increased, The Soul Ravager’s injuries began to heal at an alarming rate.

Although Jeremy was acutely aware that once The Soul Ravager’s injuries had healed, the danger he faced would increase exponentially, he couldn’t find a suitable opportunity to launch another attack against The Soul Ravager.

The Soul Ravager’s wounds healed rapidly.

Contrary to Jeremy’s expectations, a now fully healed Soul Ravager did not immediately launch an attack against him. Instead, The Soul Ravager appeared to be significantly more cautious than before.

The Soul Ravager and Jeremy stood facing each other, separated by only a short distance.

Both parties appeared to be assessing the true extent of the other’s capabilities, each seemingly waiting for the other to make the first move.

Ritchie and Bonnie, positioned atop the watchtower, felt an intense sense of anxiety in light of the situation they were witnessing.

Both of them could discern that The Soul Ravager possessed greater strength than Jeremy. Consequently, they were both eager to offer any assistance they could to Jeremy.

During Jeremy’s recent maneuvers, Bonnie had thrown a frost spell at The Soul Ravager.

However, Bonnie’s frost spell inflicted no damage on The Soul Ravager. It seemed as though The Soul Ravager had the ability to nullify long-range attacks.

Ritchie attempted to manipulate The Soul Ravager’s shadow, only to discover that The Soul Ravager had no shadow at all.

“What should we do now? It appears that neither of our skills can harm The Soul Ravager in any way.”

Ritchie was extremely anxious, fervently hoping to provide assistance to Jeremy, yet his skills proved to be utterly ineffective in this situation.

Bonnie, at this moment, was also somewhat anxious. However, she managed to maintain a slightly calmer demeanor compared to Ritchie.

“We must not allow ourselves to become too anxious right now!

Although our skills haven’t posed a significant threat to The Soul Ravager, Jeremy’s current situation isn’t too dire. We can seize opportunities to assist Jeremy in the ensuing battle between him and The Soul Ravager.

What we need to do now is remain calm and vigilantly observe our surroundings.”

In reality, Bonnie believed that The Soul Ravager wouldn’t attack Jeremy alone.

There were likely other monsters lurking around Jeremy.

However, those creatures were so well-hidden that none of them had been detected yet.

At the precise moment Bonnie finished speaking, Jeremy launched a direct attack on The Soul Ravager.

Jeremy’s current attack was vastly different from the previous one.

This time, Jeremy resolved to unleash the entirety of his power. He was determined not to grant The Soul Ravager any opportunity to recover its strength.

With an immense concentration of power converging upon the spear that Jeremy gripped tightly, the spear’s tip began to radiate a luminous silver glow.

Jeremy and the spear seemed to meld into one entity, transforming into a bolt of lightning that blazed towards The Soul Ravager with astonishing speed.

The Soul Ravager made no attempt to evade Jeremy’s onslaught.

On the contrary, The Soul Ravager intended to withstand Jeremy’s assault using its own formidable skills.

The Soul Ravager stomped heavily on the ground, and a rapid formation of a rocky barrier emanated from its body.

Within the protection of the rocky barrier, The Soul Ravager locked its gaze on Jeremy and unleashed its Soul Reaver skill.

Even though Jeremy had merged with his weapon, he was still affected by the Soul Reaver skill.

Jeremy felt as though his soul was being slowly tugged out of his body.

Jeremy paid no heed to this sensation, knowing that any distraction during the battle would allow The Soul Ravager to exploit a weakness.

Braving The Soul Ravager’s attack, Jeremy reached the rocky barrier surrounding The Soul Ravager.

His spear shattered the rocky barrier, but this effort exhausted all of Jeremy’s strength. He suddenly realized that after breaking through the barrier, he could no longer pose any threat to The Soul Ravager.

At this point, Jeremy was in extremely close proximity to The Soul Ravager.

The Soul Ravager immediately deployed its second skill, Life Drain.

In an instant, Jeremy’s blood seemed to boil, and he felt it streaming out of his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.

From their vantage point atop the watchtower, Bonnie and Ritchie realized that Jeremy was in grave peril.

Bonnie unhesitatingly leaped down from the watchtower.

Upon reaching the ground, she swung her staff, instantly creating an extraordinarily complex magic circle. With the aid of this circle, Bonnie cast a powerful blizzard spell.

A blizzard suddenly formed directly above The Soul Ravager and Jeremy.

The blizzard attacked both The Soul Ravager and Jeremy indiscriminately.

The boiling blood within Jeremy’s body rapidly cooled down, and he took this opportunity to move to Bonnie’s side.

“Thank you for your assistance, without it, I would have been killed by The Soul Ravager’s skill just now!”

Jeremy swiftly expressed his gratitude to Bonnie.

Bonnie merely nodded in acknowledgment, she was acutely aware that the ensuing battle would be even more arduous. She knew she had to focus all her attention on The Soul Ravager.

The effects of the Blizzard skill dissipated swiftly.

Emerging slowly from a cloud of white vapor, The Soul Ravager stepped forward.

At this moment, The Soul Ravager glared menacingly at Jeremy and Bonnie with its large eyes.

“I will completely annihilate both of you today in the name of my master!” The Soul Ravager’s voice suddenly articulated words that both Bonnie and Jeremy could understand.

Bonnie and Jeremy both displayed slight expressions of surprise on their faces.

However, neither of them allowed their attention to be diverted.

The Soul Ravager, while invoking the Phantasmal Storm skill, simultaneously charged directly towards Bonnie.

In that brief moment, The Soul Ravager had quickly assessed who was the weaker between Bonnie and Jeremy.

The Soul Ravager decided to first defeat the less powerful Bonnie.

When confronted with The Soul Ravager’s attack, Bonnie naturally chose to evade. After all, her physical endurance was far inferior to Jeremy’s.

Even Jeremy couldn’t triumph in a direct confrontation with The Soul Ravager, so Bonnie certainly wasn’t foolish enough to engage head-on.

As Bonnie evaded The Soul Ravager’s onslaught, Jeremy launched his own attack against The Soul Ravager from her side. However, The Soul Ravager was somewhat cautious of Jeremy.

Even in the face of Jeremy’s assault, The Soul Ravager remained focused, keeping Bonnie as the primary target of its attacks.

For a while, Jeremy and Bonnie’s combined efforts resulted in a stalemate with The Soul Ravager.

Neither side could quickly eliminate the other, and neither had discovered any significant weakness in their opponent.

As the battle reached an impasse, Ritchie slowly descended from the watchtower.

Although Ritchie’s body had recovered its health.

He still felt that it was unwise to jump directly from the top of the watchtower like Bonnie and Jeremy did.

With the assistance of his shadow, Ritchie gradually made his way down to the ground.

At this moment, he could finally see The Soul Ravager’s shadow under the brilliant sunlight.

The Soul Ravager wasn’t without a shadow, in fact, its shadow was merely concealed by itself.

The Soul Ravager possessed extensive knowledge about souls and ethereal beings. It naturally knew that shadows are intimately connected to the soul.

To prevent others from controlling its shadow, The Soul Ravager had minimized it to a nearly unnoticeable size.

Upon spotting The Soul Ravager’s shadow, Ritchie immediately employed his shadow manipulation skill.

Having successfully controlled The Soul Ravager’s shadow, Ritchie forced it to revert to its normal size.

With The Soul Ravager’s shadow restored to its normal dimensions, Ritchie could finally use it to launch an attack against The Soul Ravager.

The Soul Ravager’s shadow separated from its original form, and under Ritchie’s control, it transformed into another Soul Ravager.

During Ritchie’s maneuver, The Soul Ravager initially intended to intervene.

However, Jeremy and Bonnie successfully kept The Soul Ravager occupied. This distraction prevented The Soul Ravager from stopping Ritchie from taking control of its shadow.

Upon losing its shadow, The Soul Ravager’s power rapidly diminished.

Its strength was being absorbed at an alarming rate by its own shadow. After the shadow had siphoned off enough power, Ritchie directed it to launch an attack against The Soul Ravager.

Through the coordinated efforts of the three, The Soul Ravager was ultimately defeated.

Although Jeremy, Bonnie, and Ritchie were elated, they now faced a looming concern: they were in no condition to engage in further battles immediately.

“Although we’ve managed to defeat The Soul Ravager, we lack the stamina for additional combat. We must temporarily retreat to the watchtower.”

Jeremy remarked, a hint of worry in his voice.
