Chapter 68: Sinner, You Should Just Die

Amidst a sea of dark red flames, Jeremy stepped forward and picked up the fallen equipment.

[Equipment]: Shadow Belt

[Type]: Armor

[Level]: Diamond

[Quality]: Blue (Common)

[Attributes]: Constitution +180, Agility +180

[Skill]: Assassinate (Passive)

[Description]: When ambushing an enemy, your damage increases by 10%.

The belt's attributes were fairly ordinary but significantly better than the golden belt Jeremy was currently using.

He immediately swapped it out, boosting his Constitution and Agility by 180 points each.

Glancing at his status panel, Jeremy allocated all his free attribute points to Spirit, pushing his Spirit attribute past the 9000 mark.

Magic attacks were Jeremy's strongest offensive means at the moment, far surpassing his melee attacks.

Given this, he naturally wanted to stack as much Spirit as possible.

Then, Jeremy turned his head to look into the darkness.

Pairs of blood-red, violent eyes were fixed on him and the corpse of the three-eyed black panther. Jeremy gave them only a fleeting glance before looking away.

Gathering strength in his legs, he leaped onto a giant tree and agilely moved deeper into the Sunrise Mountains.

The commotion he had caused had attracted many monsters, making it dangerous to linger. Otherwise, he could easily find himself surrounded.

Farming monsters here wasn't his goal, so there was no need to waste time.

Soon, Jeremy had left the pack of monsters far behind.

However, after traveling for a while, Jeremy sensed something was amiss.

Shortly after entering the forest, he had felt as though something was watching him.

Initially, he thought it was the monsters.

But even after shaking them off, he still felt that creeping sense of being watched.

And as he ventured deeper into the mountains, the feeling of being watched grew stronger.

But whenever he looked around, all he saw was darkness—he couldn't make out anything in his surroundings.

"What is it?" Jeremy frowned.

With his current level of Spirit, this feeling was unlikely to be wrong.

He knew there must be something around him.

Without stopping, he focused his senses.

Occasional rustling sounds from the leaves could be heard, but nothing else.

"Too quiet!" Jeremy frowned, sensing something was off.

Even if nocturnal monsters preferred silence, there should at least be the sounds of insects and birds.

At that moment, the feeling of being watched returned.

Jeremy glanced in that direction without revealing any signs of suspicion, but he saw nothing.

This time, instead of looking away, he activated The Eye of Omniscience.

A glimmer of starlight flashed in Jeremy's eyes.

The next moment, a prompt from The Eye of Omniscience appeared before him.

[Note: You are being watched by four sinners from the Land of Eternal Night. They are wary of your strength and have not made a move, but these sinners will not let you go easily.]

The bodies of the four sinners began to wither at a visible pace.

In the blink of an eye, the Wind of Calamity had drained a significant portion of their vitality.

Seizing the moment, Jeremy leaped down from the treetop, his spear aimed straight at the tiger-headed leader.

The tiger-man's face filled with terror as a metallic sheen covered his body. He extended his claws in an attempt to block the attack.

In the next moment, Jeremy's eyes burst with a dazzling golden light.

"Ray of Pursuit!"

The spear in his hand turned golden, its speed increasing dramatically.

The bone spear became a streak of golden lightning, piercing through the tiger-man's arms and striking his forehead with pinpoint accuracy.

" Poof!"

Brain matter splattered as the tiger-man's head was impaled.

Jeremy swiftly withdrew his spear and, with a flick of his arm, hurled it towards the snake-man.

The snake-man's pupils contracted as he felt a fierce wind approaching.

Without hesitation, he retracted his head into his body.

The bear-man beside him had his head shattered by Jeremy's spear, blood and brain matter splattering everywhere.

The bear-man's massive frame remained rigid in place, but his head was nowhere to be seen.

One-hit kill!

The sheer power left everyone breathless.

"How is this possible!" The wolf-man was stunned beyond words.

He had been a player before and knew that at Jeremy's level, such terrifying strength shouldn't be possible.

But Jeremy had no intention of letting the snake-man go.

Flames of Sin ignited in his hand, and he hurled them at the snake-man.

Piercing screams echoed through the Sunrise Mountains.

In just a few moments, three of the four sinners were dead, leaving only the wolf-man.

"Monster!" The wolf-man shouted, his eyes filled with unbridled terror, his body trembling.

He had sensed something different about this player earlier.

He never imagined Jeremy's strength would be this overwhelming.

Given their levels, they were all at least level 45 players.

Yet three of them had been instantly killed by Jeremy, leaving him in utter despair.

Jeremy twirled his spear, flicking off the blood, and looked calmly at the wolf-man.

Without thinking, the wolf-man dropped to his knees, pleading, "Don't kill me! I've been in the Land of Eternal Night for a long time. I know many things. I can tell you everything!"

Jeremy seemed genuinely interested.

He put away his spear and nodded slightly. "Go on. If what you say is useful, I might spare your life."

The wolf-man breathed a long sigh of relief but feared Jeremy might go back on his word.

Bracing himself, he said, "You have to promise to let me go once I tell you everything."

Jeremy's eyes lowered. "I've suddenly lost interest. You should just die."

With that, he raised his spear.

The wolf-man was dumbfounded.

Damn, why was this person not following the usual pattern? Even if he was to lie to me, it would be fine!
