End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues - Chapter 233

Chapter 233: Each Reaching the Required Level for the Second Class Change
Although Jeremy and his companions encountered unexpected circumstances upon their initial entry into the instance.

They gradually regained their composure as they continued to navigate through the instance. The difficulty of the instance had not changed significantly.

Despite the instance’s overall level increasing to forty-three, the monsters they encountered in the early stages of their entry were predominantly below level forty.

“Didn’t I tell you? Even though the instance level suddenly rose by two, the overall difficulty doesn’t change drastically.”

As Jeremy led his companions forward, he took the opportunity to explain to them how he had arrived at his earlier conclusions.

“Whether in the realm of reality or in the world where the gods exist, I have encountered a multitude of instances.

Although these instances exhibit significant differences, they also share commonalities among one another.

The level of an instance determines the levels of the monsters within it, yet the instance level does not solely dictate the difficulty of the instance. Each instance possesses a mechanism for difficulty that goes beyond mere levels.”

After Jeremy articulated this statement, expressions of enlightenment appeared on the faces of both Emma and Claire.

However, Ritchie and Bonnie became even more perplexed.

While they were aware of the information Jeremy had shared, they did not grasp the underlying reasons behind it.

After a moment of hesitation, Ritchie directly posed a question to Jeremy.

“Why does this situation occur? Are these instances and monsters not all generated by the apocalypse game?”

Jeremy responded with a smile.

“You are correct, all these instances and monsters are indeed generated by the apocalypse game.

However, the planning of the apocalypse game involves more than just one individual.”

This remark from Jeremy led Bonnie to a sudden realization.

Bonnie quickly interjected, “Are you implying that the varying planners of the apocalypse game result in corresponding differences in the difficulty of the instances? I believe you are right.

This is the only explanation that can account for the peculiar phenomena we have encountered previously. Since the strengths of the planners of the apocalypse game differ, the strength of the instances and monsters associated with them should also reflect those differences.”

After hearing Bonnie’s words, Jeremy regarded her with a look of approval.

“You are absolutely correct.

The instance we have now entered is imbued with the power of the Sun. All the monsters we previously encountered were related to light and fire.

Although the Sun is currently seeking an opportunity for resurrection, it has not yet completed that process. Consequently, the monsters and the difficulty of the instance under its domain are naturally not too formidable.”

With the explanations provided by Jeremy and Bonnie, Ritchie, Emma, and Claire were left with no lingering doubts.

Following this, the group advanced through the instance with the utmost speed.

Jeremy’s team spent less than half an hour reaching the deepest part of the instance.

And at the deepest point of the instance, of course, lay the boss.

In this relatively ordinary instance, the boss took the form of a lizard that emitted a blinding light.

This luminous lizard was not entirely unfamiliar to Jeremy and his companions.

Both Jeremy and Bonnie had encountered such creatures before.

“Your shadow manipulation ability is highly effective against the luminous lizard. Therefore, in the upcoming battle, you must take it seriously.”

Before the battle commenced, Jeremy took a moment to specifically advise Ritchie.

Shadows and light inherently counter each other.

If a monster imbued with light-related powers possesses a higher level than Ritchie, then that creature will have the upper hand.

Conversely, if Ritchie’s level exceeds that of the monster, he will naturally hold the advantage.

Ritchie nodded in acknowledgment.

Although he was aware that his level did not surpass that of the monsters, he also recognized that he was not fighting this battle alone.

After giving Ritchie his guidance, Jeremy immediately launched an attack against the luminous lizard.

Jeremy first utilized his talent, The King of Time and Space, to conjure an illusory portal.

He leaped directly into the ethereal portal, only to reappear suddenly behind the luminous lizard.

The luminous lizard was caught off guard by Jeremy’s unexpected skill, placing it at a disadvantage at the outset of the battle.

Simultaneously, Bonnie, Emma, and Claire also initiated their attacks against the luminous lizard.

Bonnie swung her staff, casting one frost spell after another in the direction of the luminous lizard.

Although Bonnie’s frost spells did not manage to strike the luminous lizard directly, they successfully restricted its movement, hampering the creature’s ability to evade.

The attacks from Claire and Emma were, in truth, hardly consequential.

Their levels were simply too low, and their strikes caused minimal damage to the luminous lizard.

Only Ritchie remained hidden in the shadows, quietly observing the overall dynamics of the battle.

The reason Ritchie refrained from launching an attack was that he believed he needed to wait for the perfect opportunity to deliver a decisive blow to the luminous lizard.

Fortunately, that opportunity soon presented itself.

Under Jeremy’s relentless onslaught, the luminous lizard’s condition began to deteriorate rapidly.

The creature was no longer inclined to continue the fight, it sought an escape route.

In its frantic state, the luminous lizard darted perilously close to the shadow where Ritchie was concealed.

Seizing this chance, Ritchie activated his shadow manipulation skill, and instantly, the shadow of the luminous lizard fell under his control.

Since Ritchie was currently equipped with the Ravager’s Gloves, his shadow manipulation skill could even affect the lizard’s very soul.

As a result, the luminous lizard’s speed of movement drastically decreased, and it began to experience damage on a spiritual level.

Taking advantage of this moment, Jeremy gripped the Longsword of the Undying tightly and launched his final strike against the luminous lizard.

The luminous lizard was swiftly eliminated under the combined assault of Jeremy and Ritchie.

With the demise of the luminous lizard, the entire instance was thoroughly resolved by Jeremy and his companions.

Although Jeremy noticed that both Emma and Claire had experienced a level increase, the instance was on the verge of closing.

It was imperative for Jeremy and the others to exit before the instance shut down completely.

“Let’s gather all these spoils! The instance is about to close, and we cannot afford to linger here any longer.” Jeremy commanded decisively.

Following his orders, the group quickly collected the loot left by the slain luminous lizard and made their rapid exit from the instance.

As the last member of the party stepped out, the instance closed definitively behind them.

“We have successfully resolved one instance, at this pace, we could potentially conquer three more instances of similar difficulty today.”

Bonnie said with a smile on her face.

Although Bonnie was more concerned about her own level and those of her companions, she was, after all, the daughter of Benjamin.

She still took into account the overall situation of Moonlight City quite significantly.

Jeremy nodded in agreement.

“You are right, but we should not rush into the next instance just yet. Two of our companions have already reached levels sufficient for a second class change.”

As Jeremy spoke, he turned his gaze toward Emma and Claire.

Emma and Claire, their faces alight with excitement, chimed in, “That’s right! I have already reached level 30!”

In fact, Claire had attained level 30 even before they defeated the instance boss, the luminous lizard.

She hadn’t shared this information with the others during the instance, as she felt it would disrupt their judgment.

Thus, Claire waited until they had completed the instance to reveal the news.

Emma, on the other hand, had only just barely reached level 30 after the defeat of the luminous lizard.

“In that case, we should allow our two companions to undergo their second class change first. I trust you are both prepared for this transition?”

Bonnie quickly adjusted her thoughts and, with a smile, inquired of Emma and Claire.

Emma and Claire were, of course, eager to undergo their second class change immediately.

They both wished to catch up to Jeremy and the others. Even if they couldn’t match Jeremy, they felt it was essential to elevate their strength to the same level as Ritchie and Bonnie.

“I am ready for my second class change!” Claire said seriously to Jeremy and the others.

Emma hurriedly expressed her readiness as well, “I am also prepared for my second class change!”

Jeremy was very pleased with Emma and Claire’s enthusiasm.

“You can indeed proceed with your second class change right away. However, I believe we need to take care of a few other matters first. Only then can we ensure that your second class change yields the maximum enhancement.”

Jeremy had acquired a wealth of information from the class change goddess, Janna.

Thus, he was among the most knowledgeable humans regarding class changes and awakenings.

Jeremy understood very well that to gain the greatest benefits from a class change and awakening, proper preparations must be made beforehand.

Emma and Claire trusted Jeremy completely, and they intended to follow his advice regarding the preparations for their class changes.
