End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues
Chapter 56: Death Wolf King, Boss Fight

After speaking, Ritchie gesticulated wildly for emphasis.

Bonnie crossed her arms and added gleefully, "Kean is the heir to the Lannisters in the Imperial Capital, known for his violent temper. If you offend him, Jeremy, you're dead meat!"

Although she couldn't beat Jeremy herself, she'd love to see someone else do it.

Seeing the thrilled expressions on their faces, Jeremy sighed, "Never mind Kean. Why are you two so excited?"

He had skimmed the world channel earlier and found nothing of value, so he hadn't paid much attention to it since.

As for Kean's threats, Jeremy couldn't care less.

"Threatening me because he can't beat me? Not even worth considering." Jeremy thought. If the opportunity arose, he wouldn't hesitate to teach Kean a lesson about not wasting words when you could take action.

Noticing that Jeremy wasn't taking it seriously, Claire cautioned, "This guy isn't simple. You should be careful."

Emma added worriedly, "It's said that Kean's level increased so quickly because he monopolized a instance, not allowing any players to enter. Many who challenged him were killed on the spot. He's very tyrannical."

Information about Kean wasn't exactly a secret. They had learned from the world channel that he was arrogant, vindictive, and ruthless—a formidable adversary.

Seeing Claire and Emma's concern, Jeremy reassured them, "Don't worry, he's just an heir to a family."

Jeremy didn't even regard the heads of top families as a threat.

In his previous life, he had killed plenty of such people. With his increased power post-apocalypse, dealing with them would be even easier.

Not seeing any signs of anger, frustration, or fear on Jeremy's face, Bonnie was dissatisfied.

She snorted, "Tough talk. Let's see if you don't cry when you meet Kean."

Jeremy glanced at her calmly, "I don't know if he'll make me cry. But if you keep this up, I can strip you and throw you into a ghoul nest."

Bonnie's face turned crimson with rage, and she muttered angrily, "Pervert!"

Jeremy's expression darkened, and he took a step forward as if he really intended to act.

"Jeremy, you bastard!" Bonnie screamed, her face pale with fear, and she quickly hid behind Emma.

Emma and Claire couldn't help but laugh at the situation.

If you can't beat him, why provoke him?

Jeremy had a Boss to replace, so he didn't linger. After exchanging a few more words with the group, he left.

He had expected the search for the Boss to take some time.

To Jeremy's surprise, it wasn't long before he spotted the dungeon Boss, the Death Wolf King, by a riverbank.

Alongside the Boss, Jeremy also noticed the five members of the Black Dragon Squad.

[Death Wolf King (Dungeon Boss)]

[Level]:30

[Attack]:21689-22199

[Defense]:2573

[Skills]:Death Shadow, Death Claw, Shadow Assault...

[Note]:In a weakened state. Weak point is the abdomen. Killing it guarantees a 7th-tier energy crystal.

…

"Roar!"

The Death Wolf King's fur was a dark gray, and its massive body was as large as a giant truck. Originally awe-inspiring, its frame was now covered in numerous wounds and scorch marks, with blood staining the riverbank red.

The battle was fierce. The Death Wolf King, already severely wounded and driven to madness, launched relentless attacks. The Black Dragon Squad was too focused on the fight to notice someone nearby.

Seeing this, Jeremy's lips curled into a slight smile.

Talk about a narrow escape.

He would feel like he was letting himself down if he didn't snatch this BOSS.

Jeremy observed the Black Dragon Squad's battle.

He glanced briefly at most of the members but lingered on two specific individuals.

The first was Ella, a gunner with the S-class ability "Death Lock."

This ability ensured her attacks never missed, making it almost perfectly compatible with her gunner profession. She was the squad leader and the strongest member of the team.

The other person who caught Jeremy's attention wasn't Kelvin, who also had an S-class ability, but rather the weakest member, Rafael.

Rafael was a Holy Light Priest, a typical support role. Her timing in casting skills was impeccable. Whenever a teammate was in danger, Rafael would preemptively cast her skills on them.

What intrigued Jeremy wasn't her timing but her ability, "Light of Resurrection."

Although it was only an A-class ability, it was an exceedingly rare resurrection skill.

After using it, Rafael could revive someone who had been dead for up to one minute. While the revived person's attributes would drop by 30% and the ability had a three-day cooldown, it was still incredibly powerful.

At this moment, the battle had reached its climax.

Feeling that the time was right, Jeremy withdrew his gaze and focused his mind. A faint ghostly light appeared around him.

In an instant, he blended into the surrounding environment and vanished.

"Invisibility!"

As soon as Jeremy disappeared, Ella, who was attacking the Death Wolf King, suddenly turned her head in his direction. However, she saw nothing.

Her brows furrowed.

Just now, Ella had a sudden premonition, as if something terrifying was watching her.

She initially thought a monster was preparing to ambush them but saw nothing.

Rafael, standing nearby, asked, "What's wrong, Captain?"

"Nothing." Ella shook her head, not elaborating. Instead, she ordered the others, "Everyone, speed up the attack. The Death Wolf King has entered a berserk state. It won't last much longer."

Despite seeing nothing, Ella couldn't shake the bad feeling in her heart.

To prevent any accidents, it was best to end the fight quickly.

"Sharp senses." Jeremy thought, not far from Ella, with a smile.

This kind of intuition wasn't due to strong mental power but was honed on the battlefield. It was like an animal's instinct to sense danger—a kind of sixth sense.

Many people had it, but the degree of sensitivity varied. Ella was clearly among the best.

"But still too inexperienced." Jeremy thought, shaking his head slightly as he watched the Black Dragon Squad ramp up their attack pace.

If it were him, the moment he sensed something was wrong, he would have ordered the team to stop attacking and stay on alert.

He trusted his instincts more than his eyes.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

A series of explosions echoed across the death plains. Under the Black Dragon Squad's fierce assault, the Death Wolf King was quickly reaching its limit.

"Howl!!"

In its final moments, the blood-soaked Death Wolf King lifted its head to the sky and let out a furious, sorrowful howl.

A black mist began to envelop the Death Wolf King, and its speed surged dramatically!

"Death Shadow!"

With a powerful push from its limbs, the Death Wolf King transformed into a black lightning bolt, instantly bypassing Tre and Ramone, charging ferociously towards the furthest targets, Rafael and Ella!

"Watch out!" Tre and Ramone shouted simultaneously.

The Death Wolf King's dying burst of speed was too fast for them to intercept.

"Thunder Arrow!"

Kelvin quickly raised his staff, casting a lightning arrow in an attempt to slow down the Death Wolf King. However, he soon realized that the arrow couldn't hit its target—the beast was too fast.

As the Death Wolf King hurtled towards them, a crisis loomed. In that critical moment, a red gleam flashed in Ella's eyes.

"Death Lock!"

Her silver hair billowed as she lifted her sniper rifle. Without even aiming, she pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

A thunderous roar erupted as the sniper rifle spat fire.

The bullet sliced through the air, speeding towards the Death Wolf King's head.

Joy flickered in the eyes of her teammates.

Given its current state, the Death Wolf King couldn't possibly withstand Ella's bullet.

But then, everyone's pupils contracted sharply.

What is he doing here?!

Between the bullet and the Death Wolf King, a figure they knew all too well suddenly appeared—Jeremy!

Jeremy materialized like a ghost. With the incoming bullet, he remained calm. A twist of his wrist, and his spear shot out like lightning, striking Ella's high-speed bullet with precision.

"Clang!"

Sparks flew as a crisp metallic sound echoed in their ears.

The five members were stunned, unable to believe their eyes.

Jeremy had deflected Ella's sniper bullet with a single spear strike!

"Boom!"

The deflected bullet splashed into the river, exploding into a shower of water droplets.

At this very moment, the frenzied Death Wolf King had already closed in on Jeremy from behind.

Its eyes were filled with savage fury as it opened its massive, bloodthirsty jaws, lunging toward Jeremy's head with terrifying speed, seemingly intent on devouring it in one brutal bite.

Without turning around, Jeremy deftly twirled his spear in a fluid motion, adjusting his grip on the weapon. Then, with a slight shift of his body, he channeled all his strength into a sudden, forceful twist of his wrist.

The skeletal spear suddenly thrust backward with a swift and forceful motion!

The Death Wolf King's ferocious forward lunge came to an abrupt and rigid halt as Jeremy's spear penetrated its open maw, driving through to its brain.

Blood erupted in a violent spray, and the Death Wolf King collapsed lifelessly on the spot, slain instantly!
