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

Although Jeremy had already sensed the changes in the mindsets of Bonnie and Ritchie,

he did not pay too much attention to it.

He was acutely aware that clearing the Awakening instance was his most critical task at the moment.

If he failed to complete his own Awakening instance before Kean, both he and his companions would face an immense crisis.

Jeremy concentrated his mind and swiftly entered the Awakening instance.

The moment he stepped into the Awakening instance, Jeremy commenced his actions in accordance with the previously devised strategy for clearing it.

He took a shortcut, traversing quickly through the first and second layers of The Misty Garden instance.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he arrived at the third layer of The Misty Garden instance, the very area where the Awakening gemstone was located.

However, upon reaching the vicinity of the Awakening gemstone, Jeremy was abruptly struck by the realization that the Awakening instance had undergone some anomalous changes.

He recalled vividly that during his previous endeavor, he had nearly eradicated all the mutated plants surrounding the Awakening gemstone.

Yet, when he returned to this place, he was astonished to discover that there were even more mutated plants than before.

Moreover, it appeared that the power of these mutated plants was significantly greater than what he had encountered previously.

Furrowing his brow and surveying the surroundings for a moment, Jeremy suddenly became aware that he might have inadvertently stepped into a trap.

Without hesitation, Jeremy immediately sprang into action, retreating several steps at the fastest pace possible.

Just as Jeremy had barely stepped away from the Awakening gemstone, the spot he had occupied suddenly collapsed downward.

A multitude of vines surged up from below.

These vines were soaked with a potent, toxic liquid, and the tips of the vines were adorned with needle-like structures.

"It seems that each time I enter the Awakening instance, the difficulty of the instance escalates further.

I must secure the Awakening gemstone during this endeavor.

If I fail this time, the next entry into the Awakening instance will present challenges so exaggerated that they would be almost unimaginable."

Jeremy swiftly assessed the situation based on his observations.

While contemplating this, he did not neglect to prepare himself for the impending battle.

He gripped the Longsword of the Undying tightly in his hands, all the while continuously channeling the power of the Ravager's Gloves.

The Ravager's Gloves have the capability to siphon not only the shadows of monsters, but they can also extract the shadows of inanimate objects as well.

Jeremy successfully managed to manipulate the shadow of a stone.

At the very moment Jeremy took action, a mutated plant beside the Awakening gemstone began to grow at an alarming rate.

What was once a plant standing only about one meter tall rapidly transformed into a towering tree.

Perched atop the massive trunk was a familiar silhouette.

This recognizable figure was the instance boss of The Misty Garden, assembled from various mutated plants.

At this moment, the form of The Misty Garden's instance boss had changed significantly from before.

During Jeremy's last venture into The Misty Garden Awakening instance, the instance boss had merely taken the shape of an insect.

However, this time, the instance boss had evolved into a humanoid form.

In the realm of the apocalypse game, humanoid monsters possess a strength that surpasses that of other forms.

Moreover, humanoid monsters exhibit a greater degree of intelligence.

This implies that when confronting humanoid monsters, one must always proceed with heightened caution, as these beings are indeed capable of crafting traps for their adversaries.

"I warned you the last time not to venture into my kingdom again!" The Misty Garden's instance boss slowly advanced toward Jeremy, constantly warning him with its words.

"My purpose for coming here is not to conquer your kingdom, nor is it to eliminate you. I am here solely to acquire that gemstone. You should be well aware that the gemstone does not belong to you."

Jeremy engaged in dialogue with The Misty Garden's instance boss primarily in hopes of gleaning more information from it. He had an inkling that the instance boss possessed a wealth of knowledge.

"Everything that exists within The Misty Garden belongs to me! The Awakening gemstone, with its immense power, undoubtedly belongs to me as well!"

The instance boss of The Misty Garden emitted a terrifying sound.

In the blink of an eye, the humanoid monster transformed into a grotesque mass, covered in countless tentacles and innumerable eyeballs.

This monstrous form was also adorned with various mutated plants.

"I truly did not expect your true form to be so hideously ugly!"

Jeremy glanced at the true form of The Misty Garden's instance boss.

In Jeremy's eyes, the Awakening gemstone had a profound impact on the instance boss.

The power and information contained within the Awakening gemstone had also twisted The Misty Garden's instance boss.

Moreover, judging by the current state of the Awakening gemstone, it seemed that the powers and information it had previously emitted were now significantly diminished.

"If the Awakening gemstone continues to exist within the instance for a while longer, the monsters throughout the entire instance will become virtually unbeatable."

Jeremy concluded in his mind.

As The Misty Garden's instance boss drew within mere meters of Jeremy, he finally launched his attack, gripping the Longsword of the Undying tightly.

When the Longsword of the Undying made contact with The Misty Garden's instance boss, it did not inflict substantial damage upon the creature.

Due to the influence of the Awakening gemstone, The Misty Garden's instance boss had acquired an extraordinarily powerful strength. Any ordinary attack was utterly ineffective against him.

"You might as well give up! Your assaults hold no value against me whatsoever. Even if you exert every ounce of your strength, you will never defeat me."

The Misty Garden's instance boss emitted an intolerable, piercing voice.

Not only was he attempting to dissuade Jeremy, but he was also using this cacophony to interfere with Jeremy's judgment.

However, Jeremy had never intended to confront The Misty Garden's instance boss head-on.

In Jeremy's perspective, during his previous endeavor, he had failed to directly vanquish The Misty Garden's instance boss. Thus, with the instance boss now enhanced, the prospect of defeating him this time seemed even more improbable.

Jeremy's plan was remarkably straightforward: he aimed to utilize his recent attack to divert The Misty Garden's instance boss's attention.

Seizing this opportunity, he swiftly moved to the side of the Awakening gemstone.

Before The Misty Garden's instance boss could finish his words, Jeremy immediately activated the spatial sealing skill.

An ethereal portal opened behind The Misty Garden's instance boss, and a tremendous force began to pull the instance boss toward that illusory door.

Seizing the opportunity while The Misty Garden's instance boss was restrained by the spatial sealing skill, Jeremy sprinted at full speed towards the Awakening gemstone.

During his dash, Jeremy also manipulated the Ravager's Gloves to draw the shadow of a massive boulder toward The Misty Garden's instance boss.

Although the shadow of the boulder would not inflict significant damage on The Misty Garden's instance boss, it served as a distraction in this critical moment.

However, during the movement of the shadow, it also exerted a certain degree of pull on the massive boulder itself.

Suddenly, the boulder directly above the Misty Garden instance emitted a tremendous roar.

Consequently, the entire boulder plummeted from the overhanging rock layer, landing squarely on the head of The Misty Garden's instance boss.

In the midst of this chaos, Jeremy seized the opportunity to reach the side of the Awakening gemstone.

Having learned from his previous encounter.

Jeremy was acutely aware of the dangers of direct contact with the Awakening gemstone.

Thus, he opted to employ the spatial sealing skill, summoning a unique unknown space of his own.

Through this unknown space, Jeremy began to manipulate the shadow of the Awakening gemstone.

With Jeremy's concentrated efforts, the Awakening gemstone started to shift slowly.

However, the speed at which the gemstone moved was excruciatingly slow, and it would take at least a quarter of an hour to draw the Awakening gemstone into his own unknown space.

As Jeremy anxiously maneuvered the shadow of the Awakening gemstone, he also kept a vigilant eye on the situation concerning The Misty Garden's instance boss.

The moment Jeremy made contact with the Awakening gemstone, The Misty Garden's instance boss immediately reacted.

Suddenly, The Misty Garden's instance boss transformed into a towering giant.

He hurled the boulder that clung to him forcefully in Jeremy's direction.

Although the massive boulder ultimately failed to strike Jeremy, it nonetheless disrupted his progress in manipulating the shadow of the Awakening gemstone.

The Misty Garden's instance boss then shattered the ethereal portal that Jeremy had summoned with his spatial sealing skill.

Having freed himself from all restraints, The Misty Garden's instance boss rapidly approached Jeremy with astonishing speed.

Amidst his shock, Jeremy swiftly made a critical assessment.

"I must control the Awakening gemstone before he reaches me! If I fail to accomplish this, my entire endeavor will be a complete failure. Moreover, I won't even have a chance to escape from The Misty Garden instance."

Jeremy accelerated his efforts to manipulate the shadow of the Awakening gemstone.

However, no matter how much he intensified his actions, he could not match the speed of The Misty Garden's instance boss.

In merely a few breaths, The Misty Garden's instance boss had already arrived at Jeremy's side.

He raised his fist, composed of various mutated plants, and brought it crashing down onto Jeremy with tremendous force.

In this perilous moment, Jeremy ultimately opted for an exceedingly risky strategy.

He abandoned his previously cautious approach and directly seized the Awakening gemstone with his own hands.
