End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues - Chapter 281

Chapter 281: Chapter 281: The Doomsday of the Hunting Knights
While Jeremy and the Goddess of Life were conversing, the hunting knights returned to the Hunting Castle.

The hunting knights actually knew very little about what had happened inside the Hunting Castle.

They returned quickly simply because they sensed that the Fool’s angel had suffered a severe blow.

“What on earth is going on? Why would the great Fool’s angel suffer such a heavy injury? Is there an even more powerful presence here?”

One of the hunting knights captains couldn’t help but ask the others.

In response to his question, none of the hunting knights gave a direct answer.

Because all the hunting knights were unaware of the specific reasons.

After a moment, one hunting knight finally spoke up.

“I don’t think there is a more powerful presence here! Even the Goddess of Life that those damned bastards worship doesn’t possess such great power.”

“Moreover, the Goddess of Life has already suffered significant injuries. Even if she could bestow her powers upon her followers, they would still be unable to severely injure the Fool’s angel.”

All the hunting knights strongly agreed with the previous statement.

The hunting knights fell silent once again.

Although they were highly skilled in combat, they would become extremely flustered when victory was out of reach.

At that moment, a hunting knight suddenly burst into the Hunting Castle.

“I know what happened! The Fool’s angel was severely injured by two outsiders! These two outsiders are in that village we haven’t cleared out.”

“We must avenge the Fool’s angel! We should strike quickly! If we join forces, we will definitely eliminate those two outsiders.”

When the hunting knights heard this information, their expressions became very complex.

On one hand, they were filled with anger and wanted to avenge the Fool’s angel.

On the other hand, they felt some apprehension.

After all, if the Fool’s angel couldn’t achieve victory, could they really win in battle?

Everyone turned their gaze to the most seasoned hunting knight.

The expression on the most seasoned hunting knight’s face was very serious.

After a long pause, he slowly spoke, “We must go after those two outsiders. Because even if we don’t seek them out, they will come for us. After injuring the Fool’s angel, they will certainly target us next.”

The most seasoned hunting knight was indeed the wisest.

His guess aligned perfectly with Jeremy’s plan.

At this moment, Jeremy had returned from his conversation with the Goddess of Life.

Jeremy relayed his dialogue with the Goddess of Life to the village chief and Ritchie.

After listening to Jeremy, the village chief fell silent for a long time.

“I know you can see that I am hiding a very important secret. In fact, the information you just shared is the secret I have concealed. I and everyone in our village have long since died.

What exists here are just our projections. That’s why I was initially so unfriendly to you. I thought you must be hiding crucial intelligence.

However, after I witnessed your willingness to fight against the hunting knights, my perception of you has significantly changed. You truly possess the capability to assist us in breaking free from this curse.

In truth, whether it is the Goddess of Life, the villagers like us, or even the hunting knights associated with the Hunting Castle, we are all ensnared by this curse.

We find ourselves eternally wandering within this fog of history, unable to truly dissipate, and powerless to escape the predicaments we face.

The hunting knights have always believed they were achieving victory, but they do not realize they are being continuously consumed.

Even the most seasoned hunting knight cannot survive for too long.”

Moreover, we villagers, in reality, possess no self-awareness whatsoever. We are merely projections of this fog of history. The only entity that may possess self-awareness is the angel of the Fool.

However, the angel of the Fool has already been severely injured, and it is impossible for him to return in the near future.

The village chief’s words finally cleared up the misunderstandings between Jeremy and him.

Jeremy smiled and said,

“You really should have told us this information sooner. If we had known this earlier, I could have made a more accurate judgment.

But it’s not too late for you to share this information now. I will help you eliminate all the hunting knights.

At least this will ensure that you and the villagers won’t be affected for a while.

After we deal with the hunting knights, I will continue my journey. I cannot stay in this fog of history for too long.”

Upon hearing Jeremy’s words, the village chief finally showed a hint of a smile.

“Rest assured, I will do everything I can to assist you. I can guarantee that you won’t encounter any trouble in your upcoming actions.

You won’t even need to go to Hunting Castle yourself.

All the hunting knights are approaching here, you just need to eliminate them right here!”

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, Jeremy and Ritchie heard the sound of demonic steeds coming from the surrounding jungle.

Jeremy nodded with a smile.

“Let us have our final battle in this fog of history! After we finish this fight, we will part ways.

Make sure not to leave yourself with too many regrets.”

After saying this, Jeremy walked straight to the edge of the village.

He shouted loudly towards the jungle, “You hunting knights are all worthless. You claim to fight for the Fool, yet you cannot even ensure the safety of the Fool’s angel.

You are nothing but madness and brutality, utterly useless. The Fool must be blind to consider you his warriors.”

Jeremy’s words were highly provocative.

The expressions on the village chief and Ritchie’s faces changed dramatically upon hearing him.

Ritchie, looking somewhat worried, whispered,

“These words should completely infuriate the hunting knights, right? Will the hunting knights rush at him out of anger?”

The village chief nodded slowly.

“From what I know about the hunting knights, I believe they will indeed do that. They will never allow anyone to insult the deity they worship.”

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, a large number of hunting knights charged out from the jungle.

Their attack target was very clear: they aimed to eliminate Jeremy quickly.

In the face of the hunting knights’ assault, Jeremy’s expression remained calm.

He simply held the Longsword of the Undying, waiting for the hunting knights to arrive.

When the hunting knights came near him, he swung the Longsword of the Undying, using the power bestowed by the Goddess of Life to swiftly transform them into one plant after another.

The attacks of the hunting knights yielded no discernible effect whatsoever.

Furthermore, in a state of lost rationality, the hunting knights will not cease their relentless assaults.

In just a few minutes, the vast majority of the hunting knights were eliminated by Jeremy.

“I know some of you are hiding in the back! Stop hiding, because you cannot escape my eyes!”

After saying this, Jeremy charged into the jungle, wielding the Longsword of the Undying.

A few minutes later, the battle in the jungle also came to an end.

Jeremy had successfully eliminated all the hunting knights.

Seeing this scene, the village chief couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Jeremy’s strength truly exceeds my imagination! He managed to wipe out all these hunting knights in such a manner! If I had known he possessed such powerful abilities, I should have sought his help sooner.”

Ritchie smiled upon hearing this.

“I believe that under normal circumstances, Jeremy wouldn’t have such immense power. He likely possesses this strength due to the gifts bestowed by the Goddess of Life.

So, when you first encountered him, he couldn’t achieve this kind of result. At that time, the Goddess of Life had not fully acknowledged Jeremy.”

The village chief strongly agreed with Ritchie’s words.

When Jeremy returned once again, Ritchie and the village chief were already prepared.

“These items are gifts for you. Although I know you cannot take them away from this fog of history,

they can still provide you with some assistance.”

The village chief handed two packages to Jeremy and Ritchie.

Jeremy and Ritchie did not inspect the contents of the packages, they simply smiled and thanked the village chief.

“We have gathered everything. Now that all threats from this fog of history have been eliminated,

there’s no need for us to waste any more time.”

After saying this, Jeremy and Ritchie moved towards the end of the path.

The village chief watched Jeremy and Ritchie until their figures completely vanished, then he sighed.

When he turned back, the villagers in the village reappeared. A new cycle had begun again. Until Jeremy and Ritchie cleared the Tower of Exile, they would not be able to escape the curse of being trapped in this fog of history forever.

Jeremy and Ritchie were well aware of this, so they did not say goodbye to the other villagers.
