Chapter 40: Jeremy Goes Berserk, Benjamin Steps In

Before Claire could react further.

"Boom!"

Jeremy's already ferocious aura suddenly surged even more violently!

The flames around him quickly turned into a blood-red color, and his overwhelming presence spread rapidly like a tidal wave with Jeremy at its center.

Jeremy slowly turned his head, his crimson eyes locking onto Claire.

In his eyes, there was nothing but hysterical madness and a towering killing intent, devoid of any sanity.

"Jeremy...you..." Claire staggered back in shock.

She could feel that the person in front of her was no longer Jeremy.

But a monster that could choose to devour someone at any moment!

"Roar!!"

The next moment, Jeremy let out an inhuman roar towards the sky.

The ground beneath his feet exploded violently, and his figure instantly disappeared.

The chilling wind lifted Claire's long hair.

Jeremy transformed into a streak of blood light, brushing past her and charging directly towards the monsters in the commercial plaza.

Perhaps it was the last bit of reason that prevented him from striking Claire.

"Jeremy!" Claire shouted Jeremy's name, but received no response.

Only then did she realize that the skill Jeremy had used just now had side effects.

Falling into madness might have been the price he paid.

At this moment, Claire's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

In the commercial plaza, tens of thousands of monsters that saw Jeremy charging like a battle tank, their greed turned into deep fear at some unknown point.

Faced with the furious Jeremy, some of the monsters even began to retreat, attempting to flee.

However, Jeremy didn't give them any chance to escape.

"Boom!!"

He crashed into the masses of monsters like a meteor, instantly turning hundreds of monsters into mush.

The entire commercial plaza seemed to shake.

Then, with Jeremy at the center, the violent red flames spread like a tsunami.

Countless monsters were engulfed by the flames!

Some monsters screamed in fear and fled outward, but many more revealed a bloodthirsty madness in their eyes, charging towards Jeremy.

"Roar roar roar!!!"

Two types of madness collided, monster roars, and screams echoed throughout the commercial plaza.

Jeremy plowed through the monster horde, relying purely on brute force, without any strategy, the dark mass of monsters instantly overwhelmed him.

But it didn't take long for Jeremy to forcefully break out from the pile of monsters, like a raging wild beast, unstoppable.

Claire watched Jeremy, who was like a god of slaughter, feeling somewhat powerless.

She couldn't think of how to rescue Jeremy.

...

In the central building of Moonlight City, inside the mayor's office.

When Benjamin learned from the observer that Jeremy had actually jumped off the commercial building, his heart skipped a beat.

"Excellent! Worthy of being Moonlight City's special forces!" Benjamin showed a smile on his face.

Then, he turned to Dana beside him and ordered, "Prepare a set of equipment for me. I'm going with you this time!"

Everyone was taken aback.

Benjamin was going too?!

Eina's expression changed, she anxiously said, "What are you going for? Your absence won't make a difference there. But if Moonlight City is without you, wouldn't that lead to chaos?"

Benjamin calmly replied, "If I'm not in the capital, isn't there still you here?"

Benjamin was well aware of his wife's capabilities.

Eina was once a renowned politician in the capital.

Even if he were to die, Benjamin was confident that Moonlight City would not fall into chaos.

Just as everyone was about to persuade Benjamin to think it over.

Suddenly, a global announcement appeared before everyone.

[Congratulations to the player 'Jeremy' for being the first to kill a BOSS in this apocalyptic game!]

[Reward: Special Title: World's First Kill (Legendary)!]

As they read the prompt in front of them, Dana and the others found their words stuck in their throats.

The room fell silent.

Jeremy... had actually killed the BOSS in the commercial district?!

Many showed shocked expressions, hardly believing what they saw.

That was a BOSS!

Among them, many couldn't even defeat ordinary monsters, facing elite monsters meant certain death.

Ninety-nine percent of them had never even seen a Lord-level monster!

Yet, Jeremy had already managed to kill a BOSS!

Benjamin was also stunned for a moment.

Then, he suddenly laughed heartily, "I knew I wasn't wrong about him! This kid will definitely be a pillar for our human race. Surely he will uphold a new era for humanity in this apocalypse!"

Many had complex expressions on their faces.

Now they finally understood why Benjamin placed so much importance on Jeremy!

Dana hesitated, "Mayor... do we still need to go?"

Jeremy had even killed the BOSS, he should be fine.

Without a second thought, Benjamin said, "Of course, we go and bring Jeremy back first."

Having witnessed Jeremy's actions a few times, he had a rough understanding of Jeremy's character.

This was not someone who would stay put, always keeping others on their toes.

If they didn't bring Jeremy back, Benjamin reckoned he wouldn't be able to sleep well.

...

Two kilometers away from the commercial district, on a construction site, Howard's army was rapidly advancing towards the commercial district.

At the same time Jeremy was killing the monster, Howard, Bonnie, and others also suddenly received the notification of Jeremy's kill.

[Congratulations to the player 'Jeremy' for being the first to kill a BOSS in this apocalyptic game!]

"Holy shit! Jeremy got the BOSS first kill!!" Ritchie's shouts filled the armored vehicle.

He was ecstatic, turning to the driver next to him, gesticulating wildly, "Did you see the global announcement? You know, this Jeremy is my brother! Our relationship is very close! If you let me drive this armored vehicle now, I'll have him look out for you in the future, how about that?"
