Ella never expected that Kean would refuse to listen to her for too long.
She could only sigh and say, "It seems I've been overestimating myself. Neither Kean nor Jeremy really cares about ."
Her mood, naturally, took a turn for the worse.
When the apocalypse ga first arrived, Ella gained an exceptional combat talent.
She had originally believed she would excel in the apocalypse ga.
However, after a series of battles, she soon realized that there were many people far more talented than her.
At that point, feeling utterly disheartened, she accidentally learned that her fiancé, Kean, had also acquired a powerful talent.
Moreover, Kean was one of the heirs of the Lannisters.
This realization made Ella feel that she could indeed leverage Kean's strength to play a more significant role.
Over the course of about half a year, Ella and Kean tead up to handle a large number of troubleso monsters.
But when Kean was stuck trying to clear a particularly difficult instance, Ella was assigned to a special operations team.
It was during this ti that Ella's special ops team crossed paths with Jeremy.
Jeremy had even greater talent than Kean, and he was much more approachable as well.
At first, Ella couldn't stand Jeremy, but in the end, she was swayed by his charisma.
Ella ultimately decided to collaborate with Jeremy.
Together, their teamwork made Moonlight City much safer than before.
Just when Ella thought she had accomplished a great deal, disaster struck.
Kean and Jeremy beca bitter enemies.
Ella had no idea what to do.
Although she wanted to diate the conflict between the two, she ultimately failed completely.
Not only did she fail to reconcile Kean and Jeremy, but their impression of her also rapidly deteriorated.
Kean no longer intended to marry her, and Jeremy now saw her as one of his enemies.
Heartbroken and disillusioned, Ella decided to return to the capital.
She had thought she had no chance of turning the situation around, but then Jeremy unexpectedly proposed working together.
This gave her a fleeting hope that she might still have a chance to fix things.
But after tonight's events, Ella suddenly beca clear-headed.
She realized she could no longer interfere in the conflict between Kean and Jeremy.
The conflict between the two of them seed to have reached a point where it could no longer be resolved.
"Maybe I shouldn't get involved in so many things. Let them settle it on the battlefield and let the best man win," Ella sighed, then decided to rest.
For the next day, everyone was busy with their own tasks.
Kean finished the final preparations for the battlefield.
The entire battlefield was set up perfectly. As soon as Jeremy stepped onto the field, Kean would have the upper hand in the fight.
anwhile, Jeremy and Ritchie were moving quickly toward the capital.
In a single day, they covered over a hundred kiloters, and just before nightfall, they arrived at a small town. They were now only a day's journey away from their destination.
"The sun is about to set completely. We need to find a place to set up camp before it gets dark," Jeremy observed the surroundings and said to Ritchie.
Ritchie nodded, then followed Jeremy into the town.
Both of them were well aware that traveling at night was extrely dangerous.
Even in large cities, nightti operations were fraught with the risk of encountering sudden monsters. In a small, abandoned town like this, it was even more dangerous to move around after dark.
After surveying the town, they found that although it had been abandoned for a long ti, there didn't seem to be any monsters in the area.
The town's buildings hadn't suffered much damage.
"It looks like this town really is just an ordinary one. When the Apocalypse Ga arrived, the townspeople must have fled to the big cities. There haven't been any monsters or instances here," Ritchie said cheerfully.
Jeremy nodded in agreent.
Although he agreed with Ritchie's assessnt, he still felt that sothing was off about this town.
Every building in the town seed to have been specially modified.
It seed like soone had turned this town into a battlefield.
When he thought about this possibility, Jeremy suddenly sensed a hint of danger.
He decided against staying in the town. Instead, he chose to set up their camp at the entrance of the town. That way, if danger arose, he and Ritchie could quickly leave.
"I don't think we need to go into the town. We can set up camp right at the entrance. That way, we can get on the road as soon as possible tomorrow morning," Jeremy said with a smile, sharing his plan.
Ritchie was slightly surprised, but in the end, he followed Jeremy's suggestion and began setting up their camp at the entrance of the town.
"You should get so rest. I'll take the first watch, and you can take the second half of the night," Ritchie said with a smile.
Ritchie was accustod to staying up late, so he preferred to handle the night watch during the early hours.
Jeremy nodded.
"Alright, I'll leave it to you. If you run into any trouble that you can't handle, just wake up," Jeremy said before closing his eyes.
Ritchie responded, "Okay, you get so rest. If you don't, we might end up facing real danger."
Ritchie didn't sense anything unusual about the town, so he didn't understand the deeper aning behind Jeremy's words.
Though Jeremy had closed his eyes, he didn't imdiately rest. He remained alert, keeping a close eye on their surroundings.
Night soon fell.
A bright moon hung in the sky.
Under the bright moonlight, the town beca eerily strange.
At first, Ritchie hadn't noticed anything odd about the town, but now he suddenly felt that sothing was off.
He felt as though the buildings in the town had co to life.
Each building seed like a terrifying monster, watching Jeremy and Ritchie with greedy eyes.
"What's going on here? Have I been reading too many horror novels?" Ritchie muttered to himself, sowhat puzzled.
He shook his head, trying to dismiss the unfounded thoughts that had crossed his mind.
"Guess I've really been reading too many horror novels! I need to focus!" Ritchie decided to concentrate on their current situation instead.
Not far from Ritchie and Jeremy, Bloody Andrew was hiding in one of the buildings, closely observing the two of them.
Andrew had chosen this small town the previous night.
He was certain that Jeremy and Ritchie would end up here.
So, he had set a trap here, turning the entire town into his hunting ground.
"I really want to see for myself just how powerful Jeremy, the one with the so-called strongest talent, truly is!" Bloody Andrew muttered to himself.
At that mont, he had put on the bloodstained mask.
With the power granted by the mask, Bloody Andrew appeared unusually terrifying.
His presence clashed with the eerie atmosphere of the town, as if the two were made of entirely different forces.
While Bloody Andrew was watching Jeremy and Ritchie, the bright moon in the sky was also watching him.
The bright moon in the sky was actually a projection of the apocalypse ga's planner, Moon, in the real world.
Moon had not given up on her plan.
Once again, she used her power to plunge the entire town into a strange atmosphere.
Everything in the town would gradually be consud by Moon's influence.
It wouldn't take long before everything in the town transford into terrifying monsters.
Bloody Andrew's presence was rely a bonus, a part of the chaos that was unfolding.
As ti passed, the eerie atmosphere of the town beca more and more pronounced.
Ritchie finally felt the imnse threat.
He pushed Jeremy gently.
"What's wrong? Did you sense sothing unusual?" Jeremy imdiately opened his eyes and asked Ritchie.
Ritchie didn't answer. Instead, he gestured for Jeremy to look at the town.
When Jeremy turned his gaze toward the town, he saw that all the buildings had suddenly lit up. There were nurous figures moving around inside those buildings.
"What's going on here? Are all those figures monsters?" Ritchie whispered, asking Jeremy.
Jeremy shook his head.
"I don't know! But no matter what, we have to be extra cautious! This town is definitely not ordinary. We need to make sure we're safe!"
Both Jeremy and Ritchie were now fully prepared for battle. They were ready to fight any monster that might suddenly appear. However, they wouldn't encounter any monsters right away. The first person to face the monsters was Bloody Andrew.
Bloody Andrew encountered the monsters chasing him through the town. At first, he thought he could easily defeat them.
But when he actually fought them, he quickly realized that even if the monsters were killed, they would rapidly revive.
What's worse, the resurrected monsters were even stronger than before.
Faced with this situation, Bloody Andrew found himself in a state of panic.
He no longer had the energy to deal with Jeremy and Ritchie.
