End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues - Chapter 277

Chapter 277: Chapter 277: The Angel of the Fool
Jeremy and Ritchie gazed at the bizarre assortment of weapons within the storeroom, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

The weapons in the storeroom exhibited a diverse array of styles, indicating that they must have originated from various civilizations. Furthermore, the powers contained within these weapons were equally eclectic.

“Could it be that the hunting knights serve all the planners of the apocalypse games? If that were not the case, there would be no explanation for the astonishing amount of power these weapons possess.

Even the most formidable planner among the apocalypse games, known as the Fool, should not be capable of wielding such a vast array of power. If he truly could control so much power, why would he still require the assistance of other apocalypse game planners?”

Ritchie was filled with perplexity, feeling that everything here was utterly nonsensical.

Jeremy remained silent, not uttering a word.

After thoroughly examining all the weapons in the storeroom, Jeremy turned to Ritchie and said, “There is no longer any point in remaining here, we should exit this place and explore other areas of the Hunting Castle more meticulously.”

Having uttered those words, Jeremy pushed open the door to the storeroom.

At the very instant the storeroom door swung open, Jeremy perceptively sensed a spatial disturbance occurring in a particular area within the Hunting Castle.

“We may have already been discovered by others! We must act swiftly!”

After proclaiming this, Jeremy hurriedly advanced towards another section of the Hunting Castle at his utmost speed.

Ritchie followed closely behind Jeremy, matching his pace with equal urgency.

Although Ritchie was accompanying Jeremy in this endeavor, it did not imply that he deemed Jeremy’s actions to be entirely reasonable.

Ritchie felt that, in the absence of any definitive leads, Jeremy should not be progressing in a singular direction.

They ought to examine every single room within the Hunting Castle.

“Why are you skipping over so many areas? Shouldn’t we check every room in the Hunting Castle?” Ritchie couldn’t help but inquire as they moved forward.

“We simply do not have that much time, and I already have a lead. The person we are searching for should be located at the very top of the Hunting Castle. That angel of the Fool resides there!”

Jeremy pinpointed the location of the Fool’s angel through the fluctuations in space.

He had already gained a considerable understanding of the hunting knights.

Although the hunting knights were exceedingly mad and ruthless, their combat prowess was not as formidable as one might expect. Moreover, the vast majority of the hunting knights were incapable of utilizing spell-based attacks.

Their mode of movement was merely through the command of demonic steeds.

This implies that the spatial disturbances within the Hunting Castle must have been caused by a presence far more powerful than the hunting knights.

Taking into account the information Jeremy had acquired from the hunting knights’ captain during the séance ritual, he astutely deduced that the Fool’s angel was indeed situated within the Hunting Castle.

Upon hearing Jeremy’s assertion, Ritchie’s expression transformed into one of profound astonishment.

“If you are aware that the Fool’s angel is within the Hunting Castle, then you should be even less hasty! We ought to prepare ourselves for battle before confronting the Fool’s angel!”

Ritchie believed that it would be exceedingly foolish to face the Fool’s angel without adequate preparation for combat.

Even if the Fool’s angel were not as powerful as the Fool himself, it would undoubtedly be significantly stronger than the hunting knights.

If the two of them failed to prepare properly, they were at substantial risk of being defeated by the Fool’s angel.

“There is no time left for us to prepare! The Fool’s angel is about to fully descend upon the Hunting Castle! The fluctuations in space are still ongoing!”

After explaining this, Jeremy had no intention of elaborating further.

Although Ritchie still did not fully comprehend the situation, he chose not to question Jeremy any longer.

The two quickly arrived at the very top of the Hunting Castle.

Here, they were confronted by a large door adorned with intricate and abstract symbols, barring their passage.

“I will create a portal directly! Once the portal is opened, you must swiftly throw the Dark Core to the other side of the portal.”

As Jeremy began to construct the portal, he simultaneously retrieved the Dark Core from his pocket.

Even though the vast majority of the Dark Core’s power had already dissipated, the remaining energy was still quite substantial.

The moment Ritchie grasped the Dark Core, he felt the dark power beginning to corrode him from within.

“When will the portal be ready? I can’t shake the feeling that before the portal is fully constructed, I might very well be completely consumed by the Dark Core.”

Ritchie said in a trembling voice to Jeremy.

Jeremy did not provide an answer, for he needed to concentrate all his mental energy on constructing the portal.

At the very moment the portal was completed, the large door adorned with intricate abstract symbols suddenly swung open.

Within the doorway, an extraordinarily twisted and dark phantasmal figure materialized before Jeremy and Ritchie.

This time, Ritchie experienced no hesitation, before Jeremy could even offer him a signal, he hurled the Dark Core toward the direction of the distorted, dark apparition.

As the Dark Core passed through the door marked with complex abstract symbols, it detonated violently.

An unusually immense surge of dark powers surged directly toward Jeremy and Ritchie.

In that instant, Jeremy generated a portal anew.

Before Ritchie could react in any way, Jeremy grasped his hand firmly.

Then, the two of them swiftly traversed through the portal together.

In the blink of an eye, Jeremy transported both himself and Ritchie to the first floor of the Hunting Castle.

Although they were now at a considerable distance from the top of the Hunting Castle, both still sensed an overwhelmingly powerful presence of dark powers surrounding them.

“It seems that the remaining strength of the Dark Core is far more potent than I had anticipated. For now, we need not engage in direct combat with the Fool’s angel.

Let us first seek a safe location, once the dark powers have dissipated somewhat, we can return! This approach would be the safest course of action for us!”

After Jeremy finished speaking, he intended to swiftly lead Ritchie away from the Hunting Castle.

However, just as the portal Jeremy was constructing was nearing completion, he suddenly sensed that the space within the Hunting Castle had become entirely sealed off.

Simultaneously, the dark powers within the Hunting Castle were rapidly dissipating.

Ritchie also felt the dark powers waning quickly, and with a smile on his face, he turned to Jeremy and asked.

“We no longer need to flee. The dark power has dissipated, we can continue to fight here.”

Ritchie believed that the swift decline of the dark powers was a fortunate turn of events for them.

Yet, Jeremy’s expression was far from pleasant.

He realized that the rapid dissipation of the dark powers was not a good sign for them.

The dark forces had been completely absorbed by the Fool’s angel.

What they were about to face was an empowered Fool’s angel, enhanced by the dark powers.

“I hope you can still maintain your smile. What we are about to confront is a Fool’s angel. Although this is merely an angel from the mists of history, the power it can wield is still exceedingly formidable.”

Jeremy lowered his voice and spoke to Ritchie.

The smile on Ritchie’s face quickly vanished.

“What should we do then? Weren’t you just constructing the portal? Let’s escape through the portal directly.”

“The portal can no longer be completed. The space surrounding the Hunting Castle has been entirely sealed off, all we can do now is confront the Fool’s angel head-on.”

After saying this, Jeremy fell silent.

His gaze was fixed intently on the staircase within the Hunting Castle.

Ritchie followed Jeremy’s line of sight.

An unusual stillness had settled over the Hunting Castle.

Both Ritchie and Jeremy could hear the steady thumping of their own heartbeats.

In this oppressive atmosphere, a dark tentacle began to extend down from the staircase.

At the tip of the tentacle was a massive eye.

The moment this eye caught sight of Jeremy and Ritchie, they were both struck by a violent headache.

Simultaneously, Ritchie sensed that his shadow was being manipulated by the Fool’s angel.

“He’s already launched an attack on us! We must retaliate! The Fool’s angel’s control over shadows is far more powerful than we anticipated!”

Ritchie shouted out his discovery, his voice echoing in the eerie silence.

Upon hearing this, Jeremy immediately utilized the talent of The King of Time and Space to teleport beside the tentacle.

Although Jeremy doubted that his attack would be sufficient to directly eliminate the Fool’s angel, he was determined to act.

Nevertheless, he still gripped the Longsword of the Undying tightly and swung it fiercely at the tentacle of the Fool’s angel.

In that instant, as the Longsword of the Undying made contact with the Fool’s angel, it sprouted numerous tentacles of its own.

Simultaneously, the true form of the Fool’s angel materialized in the grand hall of the Hunting Castle.

The essence of the Fool’s angel was an amalgamation of numerous ethereal shadows layered upon one another.

Anyone who beheld the true form of the Fool’s angel would be met with a violent mental storm.

Ritchie dared not lift his gaze to look at the Fool’s angel, for he knew that if he were to glimpse its true essence, he would surely lose consciousness in an instant.

Jeremy, having elevated his level to above fifty and having gained a portion of divine power, was able to withstand the mental influence exerted by the Fool’s angel due to his inherent resistance.

However, even so, Jeremy felt a severe headache piercing through his mind.

At the same time, he sensed that his mental state was rapidly shifting, as a cascade of strange thoughts began to flood into his consciousness.
