End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues - Chapter 301

Chapter 301: Chapter 301: The Power of a Mighty Soul
Before the [Soul Warden] could finish its speech, the wounded war god had already charged forward with his weapon aimed directly at the [Soul Warden].

The war god had regained a portion of his strength, and he believed he could use his weapon to land a significant blow on the [Soul Warden].

In an instant, the wounded war god closed the distance and swung his weapon at the [Soul Warden’s] foot.

His attack found its mark, and the [Soul Warden] let out a howl of pain.

However, before the war god could even smile, he was overcome with immense pain at the soul level.

He could feel the [Soul Warden] attempting to rip his soul from his body.

“You insolent fool! How dare you strike me?! Even though most of your soul has already been stripped away, I can still tear what remains of it from your body!”

The remnants of the war god’s soul were slowly being drawn out of his body.

Ritchie and Jeremy, witnessing this, were understandably alarmed.

They couldn’t just stand idly by; at the same moment, they both resolved to attack the [Soul Warden].

Ritchie manipulated the surrounding shadows, sending them to assault the [Soul Warden], while Jeremy used his [King of Time and Space] ability to create a portal.

After stepping through the portal, Jeremy emerged behind the [Soul Warden].

Jeremy then produced his [Dark Core].

Though the dark powers of the [Dark Core] had long dissipated, in the fog of history, the [Dark Core] had once severely wounded [Fool’s Angel].

Some of [Fool’s Angel’s] power had been absorbed into the [Dark Core], and thus, the power now contained within it was identical to that of [Fool] himself.

Jeremy decided to use his [King of Time and Space] ability to activate the power of [Fool] within the [Dark Core].

By doing so, he hoped to strip the [Soul Warden] of its soul, as [Fool’s Angel] had once demonstrated the ability to tear souls from their bodies in the fog of history.

Jeremy believed that [Fool’s] true power lay in this ability to seize souls.

As the [Dark Core] was activated, numerous ethereal, translucent black threads shot out toward the [Soul Warden].

These threads severely restricted the [Soul Warden’s] movements, forcing it into a defensive position.

The [Soul Warden’s] movement speed rapidly slowed down.

It seemed that his soul was being affected by the power within the [Dark Core].

Forced to abandon his previous actions, the [Soul Warden] had no choice but to redirect his focus toward Jeremy and Ritchie, as they posed a far greater threat than the wounded war god.

The war god, seizing the opportunity, managed to pull away from his confrontation with the [Soul Warden].

He retreated to a safer distance, using the time to recover and stabilize himself.

“You think you can defeat me this way? Do you really believe that stealing a fraction of the great [Fool’s] power will be enough to subdue me?”

The [Soul Warden] sneered.

“[Fool] is indeed a mighty force, but the power you’ve acquired is insignificant! I, too, can wield the power of [Fool].”

As the [Soul Warden] spoke, he began using the same power that [Fool] had once possessed.

The ethereal black threads emitted by the [Dark Core] were swiftly severed.

Witnessing this, Jeremy immediately took action.

He had no intention of continuing the fight with the [Soul Warden].

He decided it was time to press on deeper into the [Soul Prison] with Ritchie and the war god while the [Soul Warden’s] movements were still slowed.

“Don’t waste any more time on him! We’ve already slowed him down. If he can’t catch up to us, we should just keep moving deeper into the [Soul Prison]!”

Jeremy, having said this, activated his [King of Time and Space] ability to summon another [Portal].

The moment the portal appeared, Jeremy didn’t wait for Ritchie or the war god—he stepped through immediately.

This action enraged the [Soul Warden].

He concentrated all of his immense soul power, attempting to use it to trap Jeremy within his reach.

The powerful soul energy even warped the space-time around them.

As a result, Jeremy’s portal failed to transport him to the depths of the [Soul Prison] as intended.

Instead, the portal only moved him a short distance away from the [Soul Warden]—just far enough to create some distance, but not enough to guarantee his safety.

Jeremy was visibly shocked by the portal’s failure.

He looked toward the [Soul Warden] with an expression of disbelief.

The [Soul Warden], in turn, glared back at Jeremy, his eyes filled with fury.

“You are far too reckless! I will never let you leave here alive! Not only will I destroy your souls, but I will also obliterate every ounce of power you possess!”

The [Soul Warden] roared, and with his bellow, countless monsters appeared around Jeremy and his companions. These creatures had no physical form; they were entirely manifestations of soul energy.

Seeing the sudden appearance of these monsters, Jeremy turned his gaze toward Ritchie.

“What are you standing around for?! Use your shadow manipulation abilities to slow these monsters down!”

Snapped out of his stupor by Jeremy’s urgency, Ritchie immediately activated his shadow control ability, managing to slow down the movements of the monsters summoned by the [Soul Warden].

The wounded war god, seeing this, wasted no time and began attacking the monsters around him.

Despite not receiving direct orders from Jeremy, the war god’s extensive combat experience allowed him to make the best tactical decisions on his own.

With the combined efforts of Jeremy, Ritchie, and the wounded war god, they swiftly eliminated the monsters the [Soul Warden] had summoned.

At the same time, the [Soul Warden] finally managed to shake off the effects of the [Dark Core].

Now, the [Soul Warden] transformed into a colossal, ethereal projection, so large that his form seemed to stretch beyond the confines of the [Soul Prison] itself.

With immense soul power, the [Soul Warden’s] massive form lunged toward Jeremy in a direct assault.

During the previous battle, the [Soul Warden] had identified Jeremy as the strongest of the three.

He knew that only by defeating Jeremy could he ensure his victory.

Faced with the [Soul Warden’s] full-force attack, Jeremy was overwhelmed.

However, no matter how difficult the situation became, Jeremy refused to back down.

He had to block the [Soul Warden’s] attack; only by doing so could he ensure any chance of success in their mission.

Though Ritchie and the wounded war god couldn’t directly aid Jeremy in repelling the attack, they could still use their abilities to disrupt the [Soul Warden’s] movements.

Any interference would reduce the pressure on Jeremy, giving him a better chance to withstand the onslaught.

As the battle raged between the [Soul Warden] and Jeremy’s group, several cells in the deepest part of the [Soul Prison] began to exhibit signs of instability.

Under the relentless assault of the powerful souls, the seals on the prison cells were finally broken.

At least two powerful souls managed to escape their confinement.

Instead of choosing to fight the [Soul Warden], these escaped souls swiftly made their way toward the upper levels of the [Tower of Exile].

These powerful souls had a deeper understanding of the [Tower of Exile] than Jeremy and his companions.

They knew well that to reclaim their full strength, they needed to head to the upper levels of the [Tower of Exile].

At the moment the seals were breached, the [Soul Warden] became aware of the escape.

He was both furious and anxious, roaring at Jeremy and his companions,

“You have no idea the disaster you’ve unleashed! The powerful and evil souls imprisoned in the depths of the [Soul Prison] have broken free!

Those malevolent souls will threaten us all! Aren’t you afraid of being devoured by the [Soul Devourers]?”

In response to the [Soul Warden’s] warning, Jeremy replied coldly,

“From my perspective, those who escaped aren’t necessarily evil. So far, they haven’t posed any threat to us.

The real evil here is you and your minions. We had no intention of becoming your enemies, but you kept sending your creatures to attack us.

No matter what you say, we won’t believe you. Our goal is simple: we’re here to destroy you once and for all!”

In Jeremy’s mind, the escape of the powerful souls from the [Soul Prison] was a welcome event.

These powerful souls would inevitably become enemies of the monsters within the [Tower of Exile].

The creatures of the [Tower of Exile] would be forced to confront these souls first, giving Jeremy and his companions the perfect opportunity to advance quickly to the upper levels.

Jeremy even considered the possibility of releasing all the souls trapped in the [Soul Prison].

This would only further destabilize the situation within the [Tower of Exile].

In such chaos, even [The White Tower] and its minions wouldn’t be able to focus their efforts on targeting Jeremy and his group.

Determined to fight the [Soul Warden] to the end, Jeremy and his companions engaged the warden with full force, ensuring that the [Soul Warden] wouldn’t be able to break free from their assault anytime soon.
