Chapter 242: Eyes in the Shadows
Although Jeremy found himself ensnared in a predicament and faced with a multitude of thoughts, he nonetheless remained vigilant.
In a setting surrounded by so many mirrors, Jeremy had to summon every ounce of his focus.
As he contemplated his next course of action, he suddenly sensed something behind him.
In that instant, Jeremy instinctively reacted.
He took a step forward, positioning himself between two mirrors to his right, and then swiftly turned around to glance at the spot where he had been standing moments before.
The spot where Jeremy had been standing was entirely devoid of anything.
However, Jeremy did not simply dismiss the situation.
He always felt as though something was watching him from behind.
This sensation was exceedingly unsettling, and Jeremy knew that if he could not identify what was observing him, he was likely to face a significant crisis.
“The situation feels awry! I can no longer wait for Howard and Liam, perhaps I should advance alone!”
Despite the multitude of mirrors surrounding Jeremy,
there were passages between these mirrors, allowing him to continue deeper into the instance.
Moreover, when Jeremy looked deeper into the instance, he noticed that the number of mirrors began to dwindle.
Although he had yet to fully comprehend the relationship between the mirrors and the instance, he found himself with little choice.
Having made his decision, Jeremy activated the talent of The King of Time and Space.
He generated a portal in front of him and began to transport himself forward through it.
Jeremy could indeed create a portal leading directly to an area of the instance where the mirrors were less densely populated.
Yet, he refrained from doing so, as he was acutely aware of the high risks involved.
The portal activated by The King of Time and Space bore a certain resemblance to the mirrors, in a sense.
If he summoned the portal deep within the instance, the immense power contained within it might well connect the portal to one of the mirrors.
Should such a scenario arise, Jeremy would find himself thrust into the world within the mirror.
After having navigated prior crises, Jeremy was decidedly reluctant to enter the realm of the mirrors again.
Thus, Jeremy continued to flicker back and forth between the mirrors, evading the unseen gaze.
After approximately ten minutes, Jeremy finally arrived at an area where the mirrors were less densely clustered.
At the forefront of this area stood a grand door, quietly emanating an ethereal blue glow.
Jeremy did not act immediately, instead, he took a moment to observe the door radiating the mysterious bluish light.
Thanks to the talent of The King of Time and Space, he could sense that there was still a vast expanse of space beyond the door.
This indicated that behind the door lay the main region of the mirror maze instance, while the space he had just traversed was merely a buffer zone surrounding the entrance.
Upon realizing this, a look of profound frustration suddenly crossed Jeremy’s face.
“Before even entering the main area of the mirror maze instance, both of my companions have already fallen into grave peril. Is the difficulty of this instance a bit too high?!”

Jeremy had gained a new understanding of the challenges posed by the mirror maze instance.
However, he would absolutely not allow himself to regret the path he had chosen, for he knew that regret served no purpose.
Although proceeding forward would undoubtedly entail greater dangers, retreating now would signify a complete failure of their mission.
Moreover, even if he wished to return the way he came, he might well find himself unable to exit the mirror maze instance at all.
Upon entering the instance, Jeremy had distinctly sensed that there existed a formidable barrier separating the mirror maze instance from the reality he knew.
Jeremy had to venture deep into the mirror maze instance to discover a means of escape.
After taking a few deep breaths, Jeremy grasped the Longsword of the Undying tightly and slowly approached the door that radiated an ethereal blue glow.
The moment he arrived in front of the door, all the mirrors behind Jeremy simultaneously reflected their surfaces in his direction.
Jeremy felt an infinite number of worlds within the mirrors generating portals, surrounding his body.
This signified that his subsequent actions would require extreme caution.
For if he made even the slightest error, he would find himself thrust into the unknown world within one of the mirrors.
As he passed by the previous mirrors, Jeremy carefully observed the differences between the mirrors surrounding the glowing door and those at the entrance of the instance.
He could ascertain that the patterns on the mirrors encircling the door were far more intricate than those at the entrance.
This likely indicated that the world contained within the mirrors near the door was more perilous than that of the mirrors surrounding the entrance to the instance.
“I must remain utterly calm! There can be no hesitation! I am destined to succeed!”
Jeremy felt an immense pressure weighing upon him, and a thin sheen of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Jeremy slowly extended his left hand toward the door that emanated an ethereal blue glow.
The instant Jeremy made contact with the door, it swung open completely, revealing its interior.
Behind the door lay a vast hall, shrouded in darkness, illuminated only by the faint glimmers of light emanating from above, which allowed Jeremy to barely discern the hall’s surroundings.
It appeared that a multitude of chairs were arranged throughout the hall, while a long table occupied the center of the space.
Due to the stark scarcity of light within the hall, Jeremy was unable to clearly see what surrounded the long table.
He could only vaguely make out that someone seemed to be seated at the head of the long table.
Taking a deep breath, Jeremy resolved to step into the hall through the open door.
Under normal circumstances, he had two choices before him.
The first option was undeniably risky, which involved pressing onward into the hall. The second option was, of course, to retreat back the way he had come.
At least during Jeremy’s recent actions, he had not encountered any immediate dangers in his vicinity.
However, Jeremy was acutely aware that he absolutely could not turn back.
For he could sense that the entity which had been watching him was now present behind him.
If he were to turn back now, it would surely provoke the entity’s wrath.
After enduring a series of previous crises, Jeremy had come to realize that his strength was insufficient to contend with the high-level monsters lurking within the mirror maze.
After hesitating for half a minute, Jeremy ultimately stepped inside the door.
The moment Jeremy stepped into the hall, the door that radiated an ethereal blue glow slammed shut behind him.
At the very spot Jeremy had just occupied, a cold, piercing eye lurked in the shadows.
Jeremy’s instincts were remarkably acute.
Throughout his prior actions, that chilling eye had remained concealed in the darkness, observing Jeremy’s every movement.
As Jeremy approached the door glowing with an otherworldly light, the cold eye swiftly shifted to a position alarmingly close to him.
Although the cold eye had been hidden in the shadows, it would have launched an attack the instant Jeremy turned around.
While the cold eye was not the most formidable creature within the mirror maze instance,
it was nonetheless of a significantly high level, boasting a daunting level of 62.
Despite having undergone his awakening, Jeremy’s level remained considerably lower than that of the cold eye.
Once Jeremy entered the hall, the cold eye vanished from sight.
It had retreated back to the mirror-filled region.
Standing at the edge of the hall, Jeremy was not inclined to recklessly venture deeper without fully understanding the situation at hand.
However, as time wore on, Jeremy began to feel the temperature around him plummeting rapidly.
This indicated that he could not afford to linger here for too long.
With a steely resolve, Jeremy pressed forward in the darkened hall at a slow pace.
When he was left with merely two hundred meters to traverse to the long table at the center of the hall,
the figure seated at the head of the long table suddenly emitted a series of creaking noises.
A figure rose from the seat.
This figure appeared to be gazing in Jeremy’s direction.
Faced with this situation, Jeremy felt an intense sense of unease.
On one hand, he readied himself for a potential confrontation, on the other hand, he attempted to discern the appearance of the figure.
“Since you have decided to attend the banquet, do not just stand there! Hurry and join us at the banquet table!”
A clear, melodious voice rang out from the direction of the head of the long table.
The moment Jeremy heard these words, the entire hall was suddenly illuminated.
Caught off guard by the rapid change in brightness, Jeremy instinctively closed his eyes.
During the brief interval that he had his eyes shut, Jeremy could hear a cacophony of voices suddenly erupting within the hall.
These voices were strikingly similar to the din he had encountered upon entering the instance.
Finally, Jeremy seized the opportunity to carefully decipher the nature of the chatter surrounding him.
When he opened his eyes, he was astonished to find the hall filled with animated conversations and laughter. He seemed to truly be standing amidst a lively banquet hall.
“What are you still doing standing there? You are our esteemed guest! Naturally, esteemed guests should be seated at the banquet!”
The young woman, dressed in a flowing white gown, smiled warmly at Jeremy from her position at the head of the long table.
