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

The moment the deafening shouts from outside reached the inside of the carriage, everyone's faces changed dramatically.

Jeremy quickly said, "Stay calm, everyone. Stay inside the carriage. I'll go out and see what's happening!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jeremy teleported outside the carriage.

The entire sky was shrouded in an impenetrable darkness, allowing no light to touch the ground.

It was as if all the life force in the land had been drained away. The temperature in the air was plummeting rapidly, and it wouldn't be long before it dropped to freezing levels.

However, none of this mattered to Jeremy. He didn't even notice the shouting around him.

He stood there, half-raising his head, staring blankly at the dark sky.

In a flash of insight from The Eye of Omniscience, the stats of the Shadow Dragon flooded into Jeremy's mind.

[Shadow Dragon (Overlord Boss)]

[Level: 80]

[Health Points: ???]

[Attack Power: Infinite]

[Defense: ???]

[Skills: 1. Grasp of Shadows 2. Call of the Shadows 3. Soul Assault 4. Dragon King's Storm]

[Description: The Dragon King born of shadows, the mortal enemy of all life.]

[Note: The Shadow Dragon is extremely dangerous. Players below Tier 4 should exercise extreme caution. Weakening the power of shadows is the only way to harm the Shadow Dragon.]

Although Jeremy had encountered many powerful monsters and enemies before, the stats of the Shadow Dragon left him utterly shocked.

He couldn't have imagined that the Shadow Dragon's attack power would be infinite.

This meant that if he were hit by the Shadow Dragon's attack, he would be instantly killed.

Even the [Requiem of Life]might not be able to take effect against the Shadow Dragon's attacks.

Moreover, the most daunting challenge Jeremy faced was that, even with the hints from The Eye of Omniscience, he had no clue how to defeat the Shadow Dragon.

The guidance provided by The Eye of Omniscience was practically useless, offering no substantial advantage.

"What on earth should I do? The Shadow Dragon's defense and health seem incredibly high! And this is the first Overlord Boss I've ever encountered!"

Jeremy pondered intensely, unable to devise a strategy against the Shadow Dragon. His deep contemplation made him appear stunned, a fact that did not go unnoticed by others.

"Jeremy, what's the situation outside?"

Bonnie's voice called from inside the carriage, snapping Jeremy back to reality. He realized he had been lost in thought for too long.

"Stay inside the carriage, no matter what. Do not come out unless I say so! The situation outside is dire, the power of the Shadow Dragon is beyond your imagination."

Jeremy warned one last time, then picked up his Bone Spear.

No matter how formidable the Shadow Dragon was, Jeremy knew he had no retreat. It was clear that the Shadow Dragon was targeting him specifically.

"[Disaster Blade]!"

Jeremy unhesitatingly activated an amplification skill to enhance his Bone Spear.

"[Flames of Sin]!"

Before launching a direct attack, Jeremy decided to use a ranged skill to disrupt the Shadow Dragon's actions.

Burning flames, capable of scorching souls, materialized in front of Jeremy and swiftly flew towards the direction of the Shadow Dragon in the sky.

However, as soon as the Flames of Sin approached the Shadow Dragon, they dissipated into nothingness. It seemed as if all the energy was absorbed into the Shadow Dragon's body.

At that moment, two enormous golden orbs appeared in the almost pitch-black sky.

Upon closer inspection, Jeremy realized these golden orbs were the eyes of the Shadow Dragon. This revelation meant that the darkness covering the sky was not a spell but the immense body of the Shadow Dragon itself!

The Shadow Dragon was an astoundingly colossal creature.

"Was my previous attack a bit too reckless?"

Jeremy wondered, his mind racing with uncertainty.

Jeremy couldn't help but feel a pang of regret for using Flames of Sin to launch a preemptive attack against the Shadow Dragon. However, this regret was fleeting.

He quickly steeled himself for the impending battle, slamming his Bone Spear forcefully into the ground before him.

Instantly, spectral bones materialized, forming a sturdy barrier composed entirely of raw power. This defense was barely adequate to ensure the safety of the carriage.

"I must lure the Shadow Dragon away! If I engage it here, the others will undoubtedly be caught in the crossfire." Jeremy thought resolutely.

Jeremy was acutely aware that the battle between him and the Shadow Dragon, no matter who emerged victorious, would have devastating repercussions on the surrounding area.

Fighting near the caravan was not an option, Jeremy couldn't guarantee the safety of its members.

Having completed all necessary preparations, Jeremy didn't hesitate to use his teleportation skill.

In a flash of light, he transported himself 150 meters away. The Shadow Dragon's eyes instantly locked onto his new location.

A pure black energy beam descended from the sky with immense force, engulfing Jeremy's position in an endless torrent of shadowy energy.

At this critical moment, Jeremy had no time to think about anything else, he could only gulp down life-restoring potions from his storage space, one after another.

"I can't just take these hits! I need to find an opportunity to launch a counterattack! The damage from the Shadow Dragon's skills is too high, my health won't hold out for long," Jeremy thought, his mind racing.

Although the black energy beam was a spell and didn't benefit from shadow attack bonuses, its damage was still incredibly high.

What worried Jeremy even more was that the shadow energy beam wasn't even considered one of the Shadow Dragon's four primary skills by The Eye of Omniscience.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Jeremy activated [Shadow Stride].

"If I can't defeat you, I can at least evade you, can't I?"

Jeremy resolved to lure the Shadow Dragon away. Once accomplished, he could use teleportation to swiftly return to the caravan's location.

Allowing the others to escape to safety.

With Shadow Stride enhancing his speed, Jeremy's movements became significantly faster. He narrowly evaded several of the Shadow Dragon's energy beam attacks in quick succession.

The Shadow Dragon, having failed multiple times to hit its target, seemed to be losing patience.

The dense darkness that had once shrouded the entire sky transformed into a dragon, swiftly advancing towards Jeremy.

Witnessing this, Jeremy felt a surge of optimism, as it indicated that his plan was halfway to success.

All he needed to do now was evade the direct assaults of the Shadow Dragon and then seize an opportunity to teleport back to the caravan.

While Jeremy and the Shadow Dragon engaged in their high-stakes chase, the four individuals inside the carriage waited anxiously for Jeremy's return.

Nina, her face pale, clasped her hands tightly together, her eyes closed as if in fervent prayer.

Master Bard and Heber pressed their ears against the carriage walls, straining to catch any sounds from outside that might reveal what was happening.

Only Bonnie managed to maintain a semblance of composure, sitting calmly in her original position, seemingly unperturbed.

However, as the sounds of shadowy explosions outside grew more intense, and the shadow energy around the carriage thickened, causing the temperature to plummet, none of the four could remain calm any longer.

Master Bard frantically rummaged through his storage storage space.

Under the watchful eyes of the others, he produced four bottles of potion.

"These are [Elixirs of Light]." Master Bard explained. "Their effect is to enhance our resistance to shadow energy. The surrounding shadow forces are becoming overwhelmingly powerful, we need to take precautions immediately."

Heber hurriedly grabbed a bottle of the Elixir of Light and downed it in one gulp.

Although Bonnie managed to maintain her outward composure, her hands trembled slightly as she accepted the elixir.

Nina, on the other hand, remained motionless, continuing her prayers.

Bonnie took the elixir from Master Bard's hand and approached Nina.

"Nina, stop praying for a moment and drink this Elixir of Light." she gently urged.

Nina slowly turned her head, her eyes glistening with tears, and looked at Bonnie.

"Can Jeremy really defeat the Shadow Dragon? My father once told me that the Shadow Dragon is almost akin to a deity," she said, her voice trembling.

As the daughter of the Lord of Dawn City, Nina had indeed heard her father speak of the Shadow Dragon.

Bonnie did her best to remain calm.

She nodded and smiled reassuringly. "Jeremy will definitely defeat the Shadow Dragon. I used to worry about him, just like you. "

But time and again, he's proven himself different from others—capable of creating miracles. Whether the Shadow Dragon is truly a god or not, Jeremy will overcome it."

Bonnie's words finally calmed Nina down.

Nina nodded firmly. "You're right, Jeremy is definitely a man who can work miracles!"

She declared before promptly drinking the Elixir of Light.

Bonnie couldn't help but feel a twinge of disappointment at Nina's reaction.

It was clear that Nina had placed all her hopes in Jeremy, a sign that she genuinely cared for him. Jeremy's charisma was undeniable.

"I don't know whether I want you to succeed in defeating the Shadow Dragon or not."

Bonnie thought to herself.

Though she had also fallen for Jeremy, she secretly wished he would learn a lesson from this ordeal.

Once they drank the Elixirs of Light, the effects were almost immediate. The shadow energy surrounding the carriage posed no significant threat to the four of them anymore. All that was left was to wait for Jeremy's return.
