Chapter 54: First Kill of the Hidden Boss, Substitute Puppet!

Under the terrifying mental force of Jeremy, the Evil Spirit Spear in front of his forehead couldn't advance even a fraction.

Next, the black spear began to fracture inch by inch.

Finally, it exploded into pieces and vanished into the air!

"#¥@%!%!"

The Ghoul High Priest's eyes widened in disbelief.

How could this human possibly possess such powerful mental strength!

This mental force is even several levels stronger than its own!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

It must be hallucinating after being in slumber for too long!

the Ghoul High Priest tried to comfort itself, unable to accept the reality.

Jeremy couldn't care less what it thought.

A brilliant golden light suddenly shone in his eyes.

"Boom!"

In the next moment, a powerful holy aura erupted from his body!

Golden light rapidly gathered in the sky.

In the blink of an eye, a magnificent golden giant sword, over twenty meters tall, appeared in mid-air!

"Sword of Judgment!"

The Sword of Judgment hovered above the Ghoul High Priest's head, emitting a dazzling golden light under the dark sky.

The overwhelming holy aura swept across the entire ghoul tribe, as if this sword alone could suppress all sins!

the Ghoul High Priest stiffly raised its head to look at the Sword of Judgment in the sky, its eyes filled with astonishment and fear.

The terrifying power of light even caused the black mist around its body to show signs of melting.

Fear flashed in the Ghoul High Priest's eyes.

This human not only possessed terrifying mental strength but also had the power of light that restrained it!

Jeremy's thoughts moved.

The Sword of Judgment in the sky came crashing down!

"Boom!"

The golden light pierced through the heavens and the earth, the enormous roar echoing across the Death Plains, causing the ground to tremble!

The holy aura enveloped the entire tribe, the terrifying force swept through, causing all the stone huts near the altar to collapse!

Outside, Ritchie and the others even thought an earthquake was happening, all their eyes turning towards Jeremy's direction.

All they saw was a golden giant sword over twenty meters tall, standing straight in the center of the ghoul tribe, towering like a mountain!

The four were utterly shocked!

Because they knew, this was caused by Jeremy!

"This is... the power Jeremy possesses?!" Bonnie's beautiful eyes stared unblinkingly at the golden giant sword, her heart filled with indescribable shock.

Only now did Bonnie understand why her father and the federal leaders placed so much importance on Jeremy.

A person like Jeremy, even in the apocalypse, could radiate an incredibly brilliant light!

Claire and Emma felt both happiness for Jeremy and a sense of crisis in their hearts.

They already felt that the gap between themselves and Jeremy was growing larger and larger, and they were drifting further and further away from him.

Ritchie, however, was carefree.

He akimboed his hips and laughed proudly, "Ha ha ha, I'd like to see who dares to bully me now!"

Then he glanced at the level rankings.

Only to find that Jeremy had already reached level 30, sitting at the top of the leaderboard!

Even the player universally acknowledged as the number one genius, Kean, had been left behind! And this was all in less than a day!

Howard shook his head with a wry smile, "Looks like the Black Dragon Squad is in for a big fall this time."

...

Meanwhile, the Death Plains echoed with continuous roars.

The Death Wolf King, moving like lightning, relentlessly attacked the members of the Black Dragon Squad.

[Congratulations to player "Jeremy" for being the first to kill a Hidden Boss in this Apocalypse Game!]

The sudden notification left the squad momentarily stunned and bewildered.

They hadn't even finished their dungeon boss, and Jeremy had already taken down a Hidden Boss?! How much time had passed?!

"Howl!!"

The Death Wolf King howled, seizing the opportunity to suddenly increase its speed, nearly injuring Ramone severely with a swipe.

Thankfully, Rafael's timely healing intervention stabilized the situation.

"Could Howard be helping him? Weren't they together?" Tre speculated.

The others nodded in agreement, thinking it was the most plausible scenario. Only with Howard and over a hundred soldiers helping could Jeremy have killed a Hidden Boss in such a short time.

Otherwise, it didn't make sense.

"Forget about him, focus on killing the Death Wolf King first!" Ella quickly calmed herself and made the most accurate judgment.

Regardless of how Jeremy managed to kill the Hidden Boss, it was more important for them to take down the monster in front of them.

Hearing this, the others also regained their focus.

Perhaps spurred on by Jeremy's achievement, the Black Dragon Squad's attack frequency increased once more.

Under their fierce assault, the Death Wolf King's vitality rapidly waned.

...

At the same time, a notification appeared before Jeremy at the ghoul tribe's central altar.

[Congratulations on being the first player to kill a Hidden Boss in this Apocalypse Game!]

[Reward: Special Item - Substitute Puppet (Rare)]

"First kill of a Hidden Boss?" Jeremy was somewhat surprised. He had thought this first kill would have been long gone.

But on second thought, it made sense.

Without the Eye of Omniscience's guidance, he wouldn't have known how to trigger the Hidden Boss.

Other players would have to rely on luck to find it. So it was actually quite normal that the first kill was still available.

Jeremy then took out the newly obtained reward from his storage space.

It was a palm-sized wooden doll, looking much like those sold in stores, except for a strange blue-glowing rune on its forehead.

Jeremy checked its attributes.

[Item]: Substitute Puppet

[Type]: Special Item

[Grade]: Orange (Rare)

[Description]: Upon use, the players can summon a Substitute Puppet of themselves. The Substitute Puppet possesses half the player's strength but can use all of the player's class skills and is fully controlled by the player's consciousness.

[Note]: Players can bind the Substitute Puppet with their mental strength. Each puppet can only be bound to one player. If the player dies, the puppet also dies.

Seeing the attribute description, Jeremy's eyes lit up.

This was essentially a clone!
