Although Jeremy found himself ensnared in a predicament and faced with a multitude of thoughts, he nonetheless remained vigilant.
In a setting surrounded by so many mirrors, Jeremy had to summon every ounce of his focus.
As he contemplated his next course of action, he suddenly sensed something behind him.
In that instant, Jeremy instinctively reacted.
He took a step forward, positioning himself between two mirrors to his right, and then swiftly turned around to glance at the spot where he had been standing moments before.
The spot where Jeremy had been standing was entirely devoid of anything.
However, Jeremy did not simply dismiss the situation.
He always felt as though something was watching him from behind.
This sensation was exceedingly unsettling, and Jeremy knew that if he could not identify what was observing him, he was likely to face a significant crisis.
"The situation feels awry! I can no longer wait for Howard and Liam, perhaps I should advance alone!"
Despite the multitude of mirrors surrounding Jeremy,
there were passages between these mirrors, allowing him to continue deeper into the instance.
Moreover, when Jeremy looked deeper into the instance, he noticed that the number of mirrors began to dwindle.
Although he had yet to fully comprehend the relationship between the mirrors and the instance, he found himself with little choice.
Having made his decision, Jeremy activated the talent of The King of Time and Space.
He generated a portal in front of him and began to transport himself forward through it.
Jeremy could indeed create a portal leading directly to an area of the instance where the mirrors were less densely populated.
Yet, he refrained from doing so, as he was acutely aware of the high risks involved.
The portal activated by The King of Time and Space bore a certain resemblance to the mirrors, in a sense.
If he summoned the portal deep within the instance, the immense power contained within it might well connect the portal to one of the mirrors.
Should such a scenario arise, Jeremy would find himself thrust into the world within the mirror.
After having navigated prior crises, Jeremy was decidedly reluctant to enter the realm of the mirrors again.
Thus, Jeremy continued to flicker back and forth between the mirrors, evading the unseen gaze.
After approximately ten minutes, Jeremy finally arrived at an area where the mirrors were less densely clustered.
At the forefront of this area stood a grand door, quietly emanating an ethereal blue glow.
Jeremy did not act immediately, instead, he took a moment to observe the door radiating the mysterious bluish light.
Thanks to the talent of The King of Time and Space, he could sense that there was still a vast expanse of space beyond the door.
This indicated that behind the door lay the main region of the mirror maze instance, while the space he had just traversed was merely a buffer zone surrounding the entrance.
Upon realizing this, a look of profound frustration suddenly crossed Jeremy's face.
"Before even entering the main area of the mirror maze instance, both of my companions have already fallen into grave peril. Is the difficulty of this instance a bit too high?!"
The moment Jeremy stepped into the hall, the door that radiated an ethereal blue glow slammed shut behind him.
At the very spot Jeremy had just occupied, a cold, piercing eye lurked in the shadows.
Jeremy's instincts were remarkably acute.
Throughout his prior actions, that chilling eye had remained concealed in the darkness, observing Jeremy's every movement.
As Jeremy approached the door glowing with an otherworldly light, the cold eye swiftly shifted to a position alarmingly close to him.
Although the cold eye had been hidden in the shadows, it would have launched an attack the instant Jeremy turned around.
While the cold eye was not the most formidable creature within the mirror maze instance,
it was nonetheless of a significantly high level, boasting a daunting level of 62.
Despite having undergone his awakening, Jeremy's level remained considerably lower than that of the cold eye.
Once Jeremy entered the hall, the cold eye vanished from sight.
It had retreated back to the mirror-filled region.
Standing at the edge of the hall, Jeremy was not inclined to recklessly venture deeper without fully understanding the situation at hand.
However, as time wore on, Jeremy began to feel the temperature around him plummeting rapidly.
This indicated that he could not afford to linger here for too long.
With a steely resolve, Jeremy pressed forward in the darkened hall at a slow pace.
When he was left with merely two hundred meters to traverse to the long table at the center of the hall,
the figure seated at the head of the long table suddenly emitted a series of creaking noises.
A figure rose from the seat.
This figure appeared to be gazing in Jeremy's direction.
Faced with this situation, Jeremy felt an intense sense of unease.
On one hand, he readied himself for a potential confrontation, on the other hand, he attempted to discern the appearance of the figure.
"Since you have decided to attend the banquet, do not just stand there! Hurry and join us at the banquet table!"
A clear, melodious voice rang out from the direction of the head of the long table.
The moment Jeremy heard these words, the entire hall was suddenly illuminated.
Caught off guard by the rapid change in brightness, Jeremy instinctively closed his eyes.
During the brief interval that he had his eyes shut, Jeremy could hear a cacophony of voices suddenly erupting within the hall.
These voices were strikingly similar to the din he had encountered upon entering the instance.
Finally, Jeremy seized the opportunity to carefully decipher the nature of the chatter surrounding him.
When he opened his eyes, he was astonished to find the hall filled with animated conversations and laughter. He seemed to truly be standing amidst a lively banquet hall.
"What are you still doing standing there? You are our esteemed guest! Naturally, esteemed guests should be seated at the banquet!"
The young woman, dressed in a flowing white gown, smiled warmly at Jeremy from her position at the head of the long table.
