BXBX NOVEL Chapter 279 The Power Granted by the Goddess of Life
The Fool Angel perceived Jeremy\'s attack as the most threatening one it needed to counter right away.
Thus, the Fool Angel didn\'t have time to intercept the data storage device.
The moment the data storage device struck the Fool Angel, a torrent of High-Dimensional Data erupted from it.
The Fool Angel\'s essence was directly affected by the vast amount of High-Dimensional Data, causing its form to scatter.
In that instant, both Jeremy and Ritchie were freed from the Fool Angel\'s control.
Seizing the opportunity, Jeremy activated his talent, The King of Time and Space.
As the Portal formed, Jeremy pulled Ritchie into it.
Jeremy didn\'t actually know where the other side of the Portal led.
However, he had no other options left. The High-Dimensional Data from the data storage device did indeed affect the Fool Angel, but it was nowhere near enough to destroy it.
He could only take advantage of the Fool Angel\'s brief moment of distraction to quickly escape with Ritchie.
After passing through the Portal, Jeremy suddenly realized that he and Ritchie had returned to the village where they first encountered the troubles.
Their sudden appearance astonished the villagers in the area.
The young villager who had initially spoken to Jeremy approached them with a smile.
"Have you destroyed the Hunting Castle? If that\'s the case, I must tell the village chief right away. We need to throw a celebration for you!"
Jeremy hurriedly interrupted the young villager.
"Now is not the time for that! You all need to find a safe place to hide! The threat you are about to face is not just the hunting knights anymore, you are facing an enemy far more powerful than the hunting knights."
As Jeremy spoke, his tone was urgent and anxious.
Upon hearing this, the villagers immediately sprang into action.
Under normal circumstances, the villagers wouldn\'t move that quickly.
However, after the hunting knights\' attack on their village, the villagers knew that their home was always in danger.
Thus, everyone moved with remarkable speed.
Just as the villagers were quickly fleeing back to their huts, a tentacle suddenly appeared behind Jeremy and Ritchie.
In the blink of an eye, the essence of the Fool Angel reappeared before the two of them.
This time, the power of the Fool Angel was even stronger than before.
The moment Jeremy saw the tentacle, he activated his talent, The King of Time and Space, once more.
Without waiting for Ritchie to react, he pulled Ritchie into the Portal.
Once again, the construction of the Portal was very hasty, so Jeremy still had no idea where it led.
However, no matter where they ended up, Jeremy thought it was far better than staying near the Fool Angel.
The power and overwhelming attack potential of the Fool Angel sent Jeremy into a state of panic.
After passing through the Portal, Jeremy suddenly found himself and Ritchie by a large river at the back of the village.
As they arrived at the riverbank, the Fool Angel almost simultaneously reached their location.
Jeremy wanted to activate The King of Time and Space again, but he suddenly discovered that the talent couldn\'t function here.
The Fool Angel\'s tentacles had once more ensnared both Jeremy and Ritchie.
Jeremy felt his consciousness rapidly fading away, and he began to regret his hasty decision.
He thought he shouldn\'t have rushed into the Tower of Exile.
If he hadn\'t been so eager to enter the Tower of Exile, he wouldn\'t have put himself and Ritchie in such a dire situation.
Just as Jeremy felt his consciousness was about to vanish completely, he suddenly heard a melody.
The song was filled with the power of life, and Jeremy\'s awareness gradually began to return.
After regaining his consciousness, Jeremy looked in the direction of the singing.
He saw the villagers gathered around the village chief, singing continuously, while the chief was praying amidst their circle.
"Is this the village chief\'s hidden secret? So he has been able to harness the power of the Goddess of Life all along. No wonder his village has survived the attacks of the hunting knights for so long."
Upon witnessing this, Jeremy immediately made a judgment.
He didn\'t just watch the chief\'s ritual.
After regaining his awareness, Jeremy also took action against the Fool Angel. He once again used the Longsword of the Undying to attack the Fool Angel\'s tentacles.
This time, although the attack did not achieve any success, he successfully determined that the Fool Angel\'s primary target had shifted to the village chief.
Jeremy quickly said to Ritchie,
"We need to regain our composure fast! The Fool Angel won\'t target us for now, but we can\'t afford to waste too much time.
The Fool Angel is highly likely to kill all the villagers very soon. We must launch a new offensive against the Fool Angel before all the villagers are slain."
Although Ritchie had regained his consciousness, his condition was not very good.
He could only manage a weak nod.
While Jeremy and Ritchie anxiously tried to gather themselves, the Fool Angel had already arrived among the villagers.
The moment the Fool Angel appeared, a large number of villagers were transformed into Puppets.
Their souls were completely stripped away, and those souls were twisted by the Fool Angel into new monsters.
Faced with the Fool Angel\'s assault, the village chief, surrounded by the villagers, showed no change in expression.
He continued to sincerely recite his prayers, seemingly asking the Goddess of Life for a more powerful blessing.
Despite the village chief\'s deep devotion, it ultimately failed to elicit a stronger power from the Goddess of Life.
After most of the villagers had been killed by the Fool Angel, its tentacles finally targeted the village chief.
The chief could no longer continue speaking, as his soul was gradually being torn from his body.
In this critical moment, Jeremy gripped the Longsword of the Undying and rushed toward the Fool Angel as fast as he could.
He knew that this attack was unlikely to yield good results. He also understood that this attack could potentially put him in a dangerous situation.
But as a player of the apocalypse game, as one of the most talented members of humanity, and as someone who had once received help from the village chief, he absolutely could not stand by and watch the chief be killed by the Fool Angel.
As Jeremy charged toward the Fool Angel, he felt a green light surrounding his body.
This green light continuously enhanced his divine powers.
Moreover, the wounds on his body were healed by this green light.
In that instant, Jeremy suddenly realized that he had received the Goddess of Life\'s bestowed power! Find exclusive stories on m_v l|e-NovelBin.net
With the realization that he had the deity\'s help, Jeremy felt even less apprehensive. The Longsword of the Undying in his hand even began to glow with green light.
When Jeremy was not far from the Fool Angel, he leaped high into the air.
Just as he was about to strike the Fool Angel with the Longsword of the Undying, the Fool Angel finally reacted.
The Fool Angel immediately transferred all its power to face Jeremy.
In that moment, Jeremy felt a violent mental shock.
However, Jeremy would not back down at all, he had resolved that this attack must succeed.
The Longsword of the Undying, infused with powerful life force, struck the Fool Angel.
For the first time, the Fool Angel let out a chilling cry of agony.
The green light quickly surged into the Fool Angel\'s body through the Longsword of the Undying.
The Fool Angel\'s layers of shadows transformed into rapidly growing plants under the green light.
The power possessed by the Fool Angel was completely converted into life force.
The souls of the villagers that had once been stripped away by the Fool Angel all flew toward the great river.
At this point, Jeremy could no longer take any action, he could only lie on the ground, gasping for breath, watching as the power of the Goddess of Life gradually dismantled the Fool Angel.
When the Fool Angel\'s power had been nearly exhausted, its last tentacle shone with a colorful glow.
Then, that tentacle vanished without a trace.
In the end, the Fool Angel chose to flee.
Although both Jeremy and the village chief had lost their combat abilities, the power bestowed by the Goddess of Life had still dealt a significant blow to it.
After confirming the Fool Angel\'s departure, Jeremy slowly closed his eyes.
In the recent battle, Jeremy had nearly exhausted all his stamina.
If that last attack had not succeeded, he would have had to accept his fate.
Fortunately, with the help of the power granted by the Goddess of Life, he had successfully repelled the Fool Angel.
Though he had not completely annihilated the Fool Angel, he had certainly inflicted serious damage.
At least in this fog of history, the Fool Angel would not pose a threat to them again for some time.
