End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues - Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Baiting with One’s Body, Dancing on the Blade
As Jeremy leveled up, the power of The Eye of Omniscience grew increasingly formidable.

He could now specify the acquisition of certain attributes based on the different hidden information that appeared on the energy crystals.

After some thought, Jeremy decided to use all the third-tier energy crystals to enhance his strength, to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.

[You have used a third-tier energy crystal, gaining 10 points of strength attribute!]

[You have used a third-tier energy crystal, gaining 10 points of strength attribute!]

…

After using all the energy crystals, Jeremy’s strength attribute had reached 930 points, significantly increasing his power.

He then took out the strength enhancement potion and agility enhancement potion he had obtained from Garcia and others.

Using both potions, his strength and agility attributes increased by 20 points each, lasting for 10 minutes.

Fully equipped, Jeremy took out a military dagger from his storage space and, without hesitation, made a cut on his hand.

Red blood flowed from the wound, dripping onto the ground like a stream.

Jeremy stood up and walked straight out of the coffee shop.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

In an instant, hundreds, if not thousands, of monsters swiftly turned their heads to look at Jeremy, their crimson eyes filled with brutality and greed.

The blood of a player, especially that of a high-level player like Jeremy, had an irresistible allure to monsters.

“Roar!!!” Thousands of monsters roared in unison, all charging toward Jeremy at the entrance of the coffee shop.

However, Jeremy frowned as he looked at the swarm of monsters coming his way.

Because the monsters near the commercial skyscraper hadn’t budged at all.

“Not enough.” Jeremy muttered to himself, needing to draw more monsters’ attention.

His eyes turned bloody as he raised the military dagger.

With a fierce stab.

Blood splattered everywhere as the bayonet instantly pierced through his left hand!

Jeremy calmly pulled the bayonet out, as if he felt no pain at all.

The gushing blood flowed out like water from a spring, quickly forming a pool of blood on the ground.

The thick scent of blood rapidly spread, sending thousands of monsters in the area into a frenzy in an instant.

“Roar, roar, roar!!!”

They charged at Jeremy like mad beasts, their blood-red eyes devoid of any sanity, driven only by the intense desire to crush and chew the human in front of them and devour him mercilessly.

“It worked!” Jeremy smiled as he looked at the monsters charging at him.

Some of the monsters from beneath the commercial skyscraper had started to move towards him.

If everything went as planned, they would soon all be drawn to him.

Of course, he had to survive the onslaught of these monsters for the plan to be considered a success.

The next moment, Jeremy’s body lit up with bluish and silvery glows.

Two skills activated simultaneously.

“Advance!”

“Shadow Step!”

With a step, Jeremy’s figure instantly vanished.

The monsters that had rushed close were momentarily stunned, looking around in confusion.

“Over here!” Jeremy’s voice came from behind the monsters. They turned at the sound and found, somehow, Jeremy was already standing on the shoulders of two zombies.

He was smiling, even waving at the group of monsters.

Blood from Jeremy’s hand splattered onto several monsters, instantly driving the nearby ones into a frenzy.

“Roar, roar, roar!!!” A horde of monsters, driven mad, charged toward Jeremy and those few monsters. Some didn’t even have time to react before being trampled into pulp, a terrifying scene that made one’s scalp tingle.

However, Jeremy didn’t even glance at them, charging towards another direction filled with monsters.

The duration of the Shadow Step and Advance skills was only a few minutes. If he couldn’t attract all the monsters within this time, all his efforts would be in vain, and he would have to try again next time.

Jeremy’s figure flickered among the monsters, dodging various attacks.

He was like a dancer on the blade’s edge. A moment’s slowdown would let the monsters tear him apart. Yet, Jeremy managed to escape danger every time.

The monsters’ roars echoed throughout the commercial plaza, quickly drawing more of them. Soon, there were tens of thousands of monsters behind Jeremy. Wherever he appeared, they rushed there, with hundreds to thousands being trampled into mush.

Similarly, the commotion attracted the attention of the Devouring Tyrant, but since it moved too slowly, Jeremy easily shook off this massive flesh ball without a direct confrontation.

Before long, Jeremy noticed that the monsters under the commercial skyscraper were all drawn to him.

However, as more monsters charged at him, Jeremy increasingly felt the strain.

These monsters were high-level, including many elite monsters, not only fast but also capable of using various skills.

He needed to find a way to escape quickly.

Thinking this, Jeremy suddenly felt a warning in his heart.

He instinctively turned his head.

“Swoosh!”

A wind blade flew past his cheek.

Even though Jeremy dodged in time, the wind blade still left a bloody mark on his face.

Jeremy’s gaze turned icy as he looked back.

He saw a giant white wolf charging at him at high speed.

[Hurricane White Wolf (Lord)]

[Level]: lv20

[Attack]: 2137-2199

[Defense]: 823

[Skills]: Wind Blade, Dive Attack, Claw Blade…

[Hint]: Extremely fast, weakness in the waist area.

Jeremy frowned, knowing he had encountered a tough opponent.

He couldn’t afford to be entangled with it.

Jeremy’s peripheral vision caught the surrounding monsters closing in again.

If he got surrounded, even he would be doomed.

At that moment, the Hurricane White Wolf charged at him.

Its body was surrounded by a faint stream of wind, moving rapidly like a streak of white light, directly clawing towards Jeremy’s throat.

“Clang!”

Sparks flew, and a clear sound of metal clashing rang out.

Jeremy crossed his blades to block the attack of the Hurricane White Wolf, but the force sent him flying backward uncontrollably.

“Woo!” The Hurricane White Wolf howled, about to continue its pursuit when suddenly it saw Jeremy fling a few dark objects its way.

The agile wolf easily dodged, looking at Jeremy with a mocking gaze.

But then, three deafening explosions suddenly erupted right behind the Hurricane White Wolf!

“Boom, boom, boom!!!”

Fiery waves engulfed the Hurricane White Wolf and the monsters behind it, blasting a dozen of them into pieces in the blink of an eye.

The powerful shockwave swept up the Hurricane White Wolf and the surrounding monsters, tossing them all into the air.

What Jeremy had thrown were M67 grenades!

[You have killed a Level 13 Goblin Knight (Ordinary), gaining 1537 XP!]

[You have killed a Level 14 Mutant Black Bear (Ordinary), gaining 1739 XP!]

[You have killed a Level 15 Zombie Crawler (Elite), gaining 4663 XP!]

…

A dense flurry of kill notifications appeared in front of Jeremy, his experience points rocketing up rapidly.

In just the blink of an eye, three golden glows lit up Jeremy, boosting his level directly to 15. Jeremy felt an instant surge in his physical strength, his tired body not only fully recovered but also the wounds on his hands healing at a visibly fast rate, the level-up bringing him back to peak condition.

“Roar!” The Hurricane White Wolf got up from the ground, releasing an angry roar.

Its body was riddled with holes, its white fur stained red with blood, and its eyes looked at Jeremy with ruthless hatred, wishing to tear him to pieces.

A hint of pity flashed in Jeremy’s eyes.

Although the Hurricane White Wolf appeared pitiful, it was far from being seriously injured. The wounds were merely superficial.

As the level of the monsters increased, the effectiveness of firearms dwindled. The three M67 grenades had only killed a few dozen monsters and barely injured the Hurricane White Wolf, who was at the explosion’s center.

Jeremy glanced at the monsters regrouping around him and quickly moved towards the commercial skyscraper.

The duration of his skills was nearly up. He couldn’t afford to waste any more time with these creatures.

Having suffered a significant blow, the Hurricane White Wolf was not willing to let things go easily. Seeing Jeremy attempting to flee, it immediately gave chase without a second thought. However, just a few steps into the pursuit, it saw the human turn around and throw another dark object.

This time, learning from its previous mistake, the Hurricane White Wolf swiftly dodged to maintain distance.

To its bewilderment, the object did not explode as before but lay silently on the ground after landing.

“Idiot.” A sneer appeared at the corner of Jeremy’s mouth.

What he had thrown was merely an apple.
