End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues - Chapter 278

Chapter 278: Chapter 278: An Unprecedented Strong Enemy
Enduring a severe headache, Jeremy did not hesitate for a moment.

He directly utilized his talent, The King of Time and Space, to generate a portal behind him. He wanted to use this portal to create distance between himself and the Fool Angel.

However, Jeremy’s actions did not achieve success quickly.

At the instant the portal was created, the Fool Angel’s tentacles in front of it suddenly flickered with strange light.

A large amount of different attributes of power surged into the portal.

In that moment, the portal was shattered by the mixed forces.

At the same time, various strange thoughts in Jeremy’s mind became increasingly specific.

In addition to the intense headache, Jeremy even had the thought of tearing his own face off.

“What the hell is going on? Why do I feel like my limbs have lost all control? My limbs want to tear me apart!”

Jeremy suddenly realized, aside from his slowed thinking speed, his limbs had completely lost control.

His left hand tightened around his neck.

His right hand was relentlessly pulling at his ear, as if trying to rip it off his face.

Although Jeremy’s eyes could still move back and forth,

the things he could see had become very limited.

In his current field of vision, he could only see the projection of the Fool Angel.

At this moment, the Fool Angel seemed to be pressed right against Jeremy’s face.

The layered shadows of the Fool Angel and its numerous tentacles almost directly extended into Jeremy’s brain.

Jeremy felt like his memories and thoughts were rapidly fading away.

Even though he struggled continuously, and he could use his talent, The King of Time and Space, to slow the loss of his memories and thoughts,

without a way to interrupt the Fool Angel, all his actions were fundamentally doomed to fail.

He lost track of time, and Jeremy even forgot his name and his location.

All he could do was stare blankly at the projection of the Fool Angel in front of him.

“Where exactly is this? What is in front of me? Why am I here? Why do I feel such pain?”

A series of questions lingered in Jeremy’s mind.

Meanwhile, a multitude of voices filled Jeremy’s mind. These voices all urged Jeremy to commit suicide.

“Stop struggling. Your struggles will only prolong your suffering. Give up resistance and let the great Fool Angel take you away.”

“Don’t waste any more time. Sink into eternal silence.”

“Just close your eyes and empty your mind, and you can return to a safe place. You won’t need to worry about anything anymore. Everything will be taken care of by the Fool Angel.”

Faced with the cacophony of voices, Jeremy gradually found their arguments to be quite reasonable.

He slowly began to give up the struggle, not even intending to use his talent, The King of Time and Space, to delay the loss of his memories and thoughts.

Jeremy’s soul was gradually being stripped away by the Fool Angel.

At that moment, Jeremy felt himself slowly rising into the sky. He could see his body remaining in the same place, but there were no thoughts in his mind. It seemed he had completely transformed into a puppet.

Just as Jeremy’s soul was about to be entirely stripped away, he suddenly felt an unusual change in his shadow.

In that instant, Jeremy recalled a crucial piece of information.

“I am fighting alongside Ritchie! Although I can’t remember who our enemy is, I absolutely cannot give up so easily!”

The unusual change in Jeremy’s shadow was caused by Ritchie.

Although Ritchie was also affected by the powerful mental force of the Fool Angel,

the Fool Angel had not primarily targeted Ritchie for its attacks, so Ritchie successfully found an opportunity to manipulate Jeremy’s shadow and help him regain his self-awareness.

The moment Jeremy regained his self-awareness, he immediately used his talent, The King of Time and Space, to teleport his soul back into his body.

At the same time, taking advantage of the Fool Angel’s moment of unpreparedness, he struck fiercely at the Fool Angel’s extending tentacle with the Longsword of the Undying.

While the Longsword of the Undying could not inflict severe damage on the Fool Angel,

it was still capable of dealing some degree of divine damage.

After suffering divine damage, the Fool Angel quickly retracted its tentacles.

Jeremy and Ritchie finally let out a sigh of relief.

Ritchie hurried to Jeremy’s side. “We need to escape quickly! The Fool Angel shouldn’t be able to chase us immediately!”

The recent battle had left Ritchie in a state of terror.

He felt that there was no way they could defeat the Fool Angel.

They hadn’t even been able to see how high the Fool Angel’s level truly was.

However, Jeremy shook his head at that moment.

“It’s already too late to run. The Fool Angel will never let us escape! It will appear right in front of us soon!”

As soon as Jeremy finished speaking, numerous tentacles surged from the void not far from Jeremy and Ritchie.

At the connection points of all the tentacles, a layered shadow gradually revealed its true form.

The Fool Angel had finally decided to retaliate using its true body against Jeremy and Ritchie.

The instant the Fool Angel’s true form manifested, Jeremy and Ritchie suddenly found themselves unable to see anything.

“Stay calm! Don’t let panic set in. You can use your perception of shadows to assess the situation around you. I can sense our surroundings through the changes in time and space.”

Suddenly losing one’s sight can throw anyone into a state of panic.

And once a person becomes panicked in battle, they can no longer take the most effective tactical actions.

Jeremy’s words were meant to prevent Ritchie from fleeing in a blind panic.

Upon hearing Jeremy’s words, Ritchie immediately began to use his shadow manipulation skills to observe his surroundings.

Although the two of them could no longer see anything, they were still able to sense the presence of the Fool Angel.

Moreover, the Fool Angel did not give them any more time to prepare, it summoned a horde of unknown monsters.

The moment these monsters appeared, they charged directly toward Jeremy and Ritchie.

Jeremy fought against the monsters with the Longsword of the Undying in hand, while also slowly moving towards the entrance of the Hunting Castle.

Ritchie’s actions were much simpler and more straightforward, he had no intention of fighting the monsters.

Ritchie quickly hid in the shadows and then leaped between different shadows to reach a position farthest from the Fool Angel.

“If you can hear me, hurry and move toward me! I can create a pathway using shadows! We can escape the Hunting Castle through this passage.”

In a state of heightened mental tension, Ritchie quickly took action.

He constructed a passage using different shadows.

Although the shadow-formed passage wasn’t as quick as a Portal for transporting someone to another location, the passage made of shadows had its own advantages.

The biggest advantage was that it was difficult to be affected by skills other than shadow manipulation.

After hearing Ritchie’s words, Jeremy chose to open a Portal and quickly arrived at Ritchie’s side.

The two immediately passed through the shadow passage and emerged outside the Hunting Castle.

Once they successfully escaped the Hunting Castle, they could finally see a faint glimmer of light.

However, this glimmer was still very blurry. They still couldn’t make out their surroundings through this faint light.

“What should we do now? It seems the Fool Angel isn’t going to pursue us.”

Ritchie didn’t sense the Fool Angel’s presence, so he believed it was unlikely the Fool Angel would continue to chase them.

But just as he finished speaking, the Fool Angel appeared out of thin air right in front of them.

The Fool Angel’s tentacles ensnared both of them tightly.

They could both feel their souls being rapidly stripped away.

At the same time, a voice echoed in their minds.

“How dare you enter my divine realm! I will not let you go. After I strip your souls away, I will use your bodies to create new Puppets. Then, I will command these Puppets to annihilate all your companions.

You will only be able to watch as your comrades are destroyed by your own hands, unable to do anything. I will ensure you experience total destruction, from your souls to your bodies.”

Ritchie couldn’t identify the voice because he had never encountered its owner before.

However, Jeremy immediately recognized the voice’s owner, it belonged to the White Tower.

Indeed, the Fool Angel before them was affiliated with the White Tower.

Realizing this, a new battle plan sprang to mind for Jeremy. Perhaps when facing a Fool Angel belonging to the White Tower, High-Dimensional Data could play a bigger role.

With this inspiration, Jeremy took action without delay.

He pulled a data storage device from his pocket and threw it directly at the Fool Angel.
