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

Jeremy took the briefcase containing the anomalous map from Liam's hands.

"I understand, I will remember all the precautions. If you have no further reminders, I will immediately enter the Tower of Exile with my companions."

Liam cast a deep, penetrating gaze at Jeremy and Ritchie.

"I have no further enhancements to offer you. I only hope you can exercise caution during your endeavors. Once you enter the Tower of Exile, you will undoubtedly encounter numerous perils."

Although Liam still had not completely placed his trust in Jeremy,

he recognized that Jeremy's actions within the Tower of Exile were of paramount importance to all of humanity.

Therefore, Liam did not wish for Jeremy's mission to end in failure.

Jeremy nodded, affirming, "I understand! Await my good news, I am absolutely certain I will not fail."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Liam, Jeremy quickly returned home with Ritchie.

He thoroughly secured his house, ensuring that it was completely sealed off.

The gemstone entrusted to Jeremy by the "World" was already positioned in the center of his living room.

At this moment, the gemstone was emitting a dazzling radiance.

Ritchie gazed at the gemstone in the living room and noticed that within the luminous glow, a series of ethereal shadows flickered in and out of existence. These phantoms appeared to be projections from different worlds.

However, Ritchie was unable to discern any specific characteristics of these apparitions.

"Are you ready?" Jeremy approached Ritchie's side and asked him in a very solemn tone.

Ritchie nodded in affirmation.

"Take my hand! We are about to enter the Tower of Exile!" Jeremy extended his right hand while grasping the brilliantly glowing gemstone with his left.

Ritchie took a deep breath and reached out, clasping Jeremy's right hand.

The moment their hands connected, a blinding white light flashed before Ritchie's eyes.

The white brilliance was incredibly intense, rendering Ritchie nearly unable to see anything at all.

After a brief moment, Ritchie's vision gradually began to return.

Suddenly, he realized he was now inside a very dilapidated house.

Jeremy stood not far from him, alertly surveying their surroundings.

"You should be all right, shouldn't you?" Jeremy did not turn his gaze toward Ritchie, he remained focused on the environment while addressing him.

Ritchie shook his head and struggled to stand up.

"I am not seriously injured! It's just that the white light was a bit too blinding, my vision has yet to fully recover."

"That is nothing to be overly concerned about!

The white light that emanated upon entering the Tower of Exile is merely the glow of the teleportation gateway.

The light emitted by the teleportation pathway will not affect you in any detrimental way.

All you need to do is observe the scenery around you, and your vision will restore itself in no time."

As Jeremy spoke to Ritchie, he swiftly made his way to one of the walls in the room.

Jeremy gave the wall a firm knock, and then immediately pressed his ear against the surface.

"This wall is hollow behind it! Perhaps we can break through this wall and enter another space!"

Jeremy's thoughts were remarkably clear.

He understood that he could not remain trapped in this room with Ritchie for too long, as the conditions of their current surroundings were rather dire.

The room they occupied was exceedingly cramped, and the tiles on the walls were in a state of disrepair, with signs of decay evident on the surfaces.

Jeremy could even detect the musty scent of decaying vegetation in the air.

After muttering this to himself, Jeremy took a step back.

Then, he gripped the Longsword of the Undying tightly and struck the wall with considerable force.

The moment the Longsword of the Undying made contact with the wall, an ear-piercing scream echoed throughout the surrounding walls of the room.

It seemed as though the sword had struck something alive.

The piercing scream inflicted a severe headache upon both Jeremy and Ritchie.

However, this pain swiftly propelled them into a state of heightened alertness and readiness for combat.

Jeremy quickly surveyed their surroundings, having activated his ability known as The King of Time and Space.

At that moment, several spatial positions had already begun to materialize around Jeremy's body.

Ritchie, on the other hand, swiftly donned the Ravager's Gloves.

Once he equipped the Ravager's Gloves, Ritchie's sensitivity to shadows was significantly enhanced.

He was actively employing his shadow perception ability to sense any potential shadows that might be lurking nearby.

The shrill scream soon subsided, yet neither of them dared to let down their guard.

This was because, at that precise moment, both of them caught the overwhelming scent of blood.

The source of the metallic odor was unmistakably the wall that Jeremy had struck with the Longsword of the Undying.

As the scent of blood intensified, Jeremy and Ritchie instinctively retreated in unison, moving away from the wall.

Both of them maintained a vigilant gaze directed at the wall, and soon, under their watchful eyes, a humanoid creature began to materialize from its surface.

The instant the creature emerged, Jeremy received a notification from The Eye of Omniscience.

[Note: Eliminating the Faceless Entity before it fully manifests will grant you additional intel.]

At the moment the notification from The Eye of Omniscience appeared, Jeremy had already discerned the specific data regarding the Faceless Entity.

[Name: Faceless Entity]

[Level: 49]

[Type: Cursed Monster]

[Attack Skills: 1. Soul Theft. 2. Blood Devouring.]

The Faceless Entity was merely at level 49, which indicated that it was not an extraordinarily difficult monster to contend with.

Jeremy felt confident that he could swiftly eliminate it using the Longsword of the Undying.

Upon reaching this conclusion, Jeremy grasped the Longsword of the Undying and leaped into action.

Under Ritchie's astonished gaze, Jeremy instantly found himself positioned before the Faceless Entity, which had yet to fully reveal its true form.

With tremendous force, the Longsword of the Undying swung downwards towards the Faceless Entity.

As the blade made contact with the Faceless Entity, anguished screams echoed once more from the walls surrounding the room.

However, this time, the screams did not linger for long, as the Faceless Entity succumbed to its demise after enduring two brutal strikes from the Longsword of the Undying.

Although Ritchie and Jeremy were spared from hearing the piercing screams again, the stench of blood in the room had intensified significantly.

Ritchie found it increasingly difficult to breathe.

"After the monster's demise, a passage has appeared where it once stood. We need to hurry through this passage and leave! The smell of blood is overwhelming, I can hardly breathe!"

Ritchie shouted loudly at Jeremy.

Jeremy nodded in affirmation and promptly proceeded through the passage.

Ritchie quickly followed suit, racing to catch up with Jeremy as they both ventured through the darkened corridor.

Upon exiting the passage from the previous room, Ritchie and Jeremy suddenly found themselves in a dimly lit cave.

The two could hear the distant sound of flowing water echoing throughout the cavern.

However, the cave was completely devoid of any light, leaving both individuals only able to barely discern each other's positions.

Beyond a short distance, visibility was entirely lost.

"What should we do next? I suppose we can only continue forward, right?"

Although Ritchie had no particular plan, he felt that pressing onward was their only viable option.

After all, since their entry into the Tower of Exile, they had yet to acquire any useful information.

Jeremy did not immediately respond to Ritchie's inquiry, as he was preoccupied with the intelligence provided by The Eye of Omniscience after vanquishing the Faceless Entity. This information left Jeremy in a state of considerable confusion.

[You have not entered the Tower of Exile, it is even possible that you may never gain access to it. The area you currently occupy is merely an auxiliary region of the Tower of Exile.]

The message indicating that they had not entered the Tower of Exile was something Jeremy could comprehend.

After all, the Tower of Exile was an area of great concern to the entity known as [Fool], which implied that gaining entry into such a domain would be exceedingly challenging.

Jeremy did not believe that the gem provided by the light screen, referred to as [World], would grant them access to the Tower of Exile.

However, the assertion that they might never be able to enter the Tower of Exile was something Jeremy found utterly perplexing.

Even if Jeremy and Ritchie were unable to access the Tower of Exile, he was convinced that [World] would offer them assistance when it was most needed.

Moreover, Jeremy was now under the protection of the Cosmic Will.

Under ordinary circumstances, they would not linger in the outer regions of the Tower of Exile for an extended period.

As Jeremy was lost in thought, Ritchie gently tapped him on the shoulder.

Jeremy turned his head, casting a questioning glance at Ritchie.

Lowering his voice, Ritchie said to Jeremy, "Do you not sense that there seems to be other entities around us? It feels as though those things have been closely observing our every move."

Upon hearing Ritchie's words, Jeremy suddenly realized that he had been too focused on his immediate surroundings.

He should not have neglected the environment while engaged in such perilous actions.

Without delay, Jeremy extended his Divine Consciousness, sweeping it across the area surrounding the two of them.

To his surprise, Jeremy discovered numerous hidden presences lurking in their vicinity.

However, these concealed entities appeared to harbor no hostility towards Jeremy and Ritchie.

They were merely observing Jeremy and Ritchie's actions, showing no intention of launching an attack.

Thus, Jeremy felt no compulsion to act rashly.
