The statues in the ss Change Templehad all mysteriously disappeared.


    Now, the temple hall was littered with rubble.


    Kean began to suspect he might havee to the wrong ce.


    He scanned his surroundings carefully, searching for any clue.


    Finally, his gaze fixed on the debris scattered on the ground.


    The more he looked, the more familiar it seemed.


    Then he spotted a half-destroyed face of a ss changestatue.


    "The ss changestatue... it''s broken?!" Kean was stunned.


    Could this thing really break?


    His face was full of disbelief.


    The problem was, without changing his ss, he couldn''t level up. All the effort he and the Lannisters had put in would be wasted!


    Looking at the ranking leaderboard, Kean was so furious that his eyes turned red.


    If no one could change their sses, he could grudgingly ept it.


    But why could Jeremy do it?!


    Likewise, other yers who had reached level 30 encountered the same issue.


    They came to the ss changeza full of hope, entered the temple joyfully, ready toplete their secondss.


    But when they looked up.


    The ss changestatue was gone.


    "Damn!" A group of yers exploded in frustration.


    How were they supposed to level up now?!


    News of the broken ss changestatue spread quickly.


    Soon, many yers were aware of the situation.


    The world channel erupted, with messages flooding in like snowkes.


    LV30Nancy: "I can''t believe it, this apocalypse game has bugs?!"


    LV30Faas: "I''ve spent so much money hiring people to level up, and now, just as the event is about to end, you''re telling me I can''t change my ss? Damn it, what a garbage game, give me a refund!"


    LV24Icey: "So, without the ss changestatue, does this mean we can''t change sses in the future?"


    LV30Tristones: "Probably not. I saw that Jeremy is already level 32."


    Jeremy is level 32?


    Seeing this message, many yers were taken aback. They quickly opened the leaderboard to check.


    All they saw were yers at level 30.


    Jeremy is the only one at level 32, standing out from the crowd and being extremely conspicuous.


    A group of yers immediately went mad with envy.


    LV30Faas: "Damn it, why can Jeremy change his ss? This is unfair!!"


    LV24Icey: "Maybe Jeremy broke the ss changestatue so no one else couldpete for the top spot."


    LV30Tristones: "Whether he did it or not, Jeremy was the first toplete the secondss. He must know something."


    LV30Martita: "Does anyone know Jeremy? Contact him for me, and I''ll give you a Tier 4 Energy Crystal as a reward."


    LV27Quin: "A Tier 4 Energy Crystal? As expected of the eldest son of the Smithfamily, such a rich guy!"


    Seeing this, Ritchie, who had been lurking, perked up.


    Could there really be such a good deal in the world?!


    He immediately sent a message.


    LV25Ritchie: "Me! Me! Me! I''m from theMoonlight City, and I''m Jeremy''s ssmate!"


    Hearing this, most of the yers believed him.


    After all, most of them had investigated Jeremy and knew he was indeed from the Moonlight City. However, to be cautious, they still asked Ritchie some detailed questions.


    They found that Ritchie''s information matched what they already knew, and was even more detailed.


    The top yers were relieved, thinking Ritchie wouldn''t dare to deceive them. They then started sending private messages to him.


    LV30Martita: "I''ll give you 2 Tier 4 Energy Crystals. Find out how Jeremy managed to change his ss."


    [yer "Martita" has mailed you 2 Tier 4 Energy Crystals!]


    LV30Faas: "Tell me Jeremy''s location."


    [yer "Faas" has mailed you 1 Tier 4 Energy Crystal!]


    LV30Nancy: "2 Tier 3 Energy Crystals for detailed information on Jeremy."


    ...


    One by one, the Energy Crystals were mailed over, and Ritchie happily epted them all.


    He quickly closed the chat window, cklisted everyone, and logged off at lightning speed.


    The whole process was smooth and seamless.


    A few minutester...


    The world channel was flooded with bounties for Ritchie.


    Someone even offered a high price of 1 Tier 5 Energy Crystal, determined to get Ritchie''s head.


    ...


    Jeremy rarely checked the world channel and had no idea what was happening.


    After leaving the military base, he headed out of the city to continue leveling up.


    He didn''t go to an instance because of the rule that "yer level cannot exceed instance level." So, Jeremy had to find monsters on his own.


    Unfortunately, the monsters in the city had mostly been cleared out by Howard and his troops.


    Left with no choice, he decided to try his luck outside the city.


    After wandering around for a while, he didn''t find many monsters but dide across a tinum treasure chest.


    [Item]: tinum Treasure Chest


    [Grade]: tinum


    [Description]: Opening the chest requires 10 Tier 4 Energy Crystals or 1 Tier 5 Energy Crystal.


    [Hint]: Using a Tier 5 Energy Crystal guarantees obtaining a high-tier rare item.


    Jeremy looked at the prompt, feeling a bit helpless.


    He had used up his Tier 5 Energy Crystals in the instance.


    Fortunately, getting a Tier 5 Energy Crystal wasn''t too difficult for him now.


    He still needed to find some monsters first.


    Lighting a cigarette, Jeremy frowned in thought.


    Where could he find monsters?


    Hunting them in the wild was too slow, and Moonlight City''s monsters had almost been wiped out. He couldn''t just fly to another city to hunt...


    Suddenly, Jeremy''s eyes lit up.


    If there were no monsters on the ground, he could look for monsters in the sky!


    He immediately thought of the Skyrakers.


    They had caused him a lot of troublest time, and now he could take this opportunity to deal with them.


    Once he made up his mind, Jeremy focused his thoughts.


    The Sky Ring on his hand emitted a sh of white light.


    Immediately, a pair of pristine wings unfurled behind him.


    "Sky Wings!"


    This was his first time flying, and it felt quite novel.


    Jeremy tried pping his wings a couple of times.


    "Whoosh!"


    The wings stirred up a gust of wind, sending dust swirling from the ground.


    He lifted off effortlessly.


    Even though it was his first time using the wings, Jeremy didn''t feel awkward or struggle to control them. They felt as natural to him as his own arms, responding to his everymand.


    After getting the hang of it, Jeremy gave a powerful p of his wings.


    He shot into the sky like an arrow.


    The wind howled as he ascended rapidly.


    When he finally stopped, he found himself amidst a vast sea of clouds.


    The sun zed overhead.


    Its rays piercing through the cloud cover to touch the earth below.


    The once towering skyscrapers nowy in ruins, and the bustling streets were nearly deserted, giving the whole city a deste and eerie feel.


    From his high vantage point, Jeremy gazed down at the Moonlight City, feeling a sense of poignant nostalgia.


    Shaking his head slightly, he began to search for his target.


    His eyes finally settled on the tallest TV tower in the Moonlight City.


    From a distance, he could see it swarming with Skyrakers.


    They hung upside down like oversized bats, thousands of them!


    These creatures had made the TV tower their nest!


    "This time, I''ll wipe you all out!" Jeremy''s eyes glinted with cold determination. Without hesitation, he pped his wings forcefully and shot towards the tower like a missile.


    As Jeremy closed in, the Skyrakers on the tower noticed him.


    A sharp, piercing cry echoed as the Skyrakers swarmed up from the tower like a dark cloud, hurtling towards Jeremy with terrifying momentum.


    Jeremy remained unfazed, his gaze fixed on the leading Skyraker.


    This one was encased in bone armor, towering at four to five meters tall, wielding a white bone spear. Its size and aura were several times more intimidating than the ones Jeremy had fought before.


    [Skyrakers (BOSS)]


    [Level]: Lv30


    [Attack]: 18767-19138


    [Defense]: 3288


    [Skills]: Bone Spear, Flight, Bone Arrow...


    [Hint]: Rtively weak. Defeating it will yield a tinum-level item.


    ...


    "A BOSS!" Jeremy was slightly surprised.


    Looks like his luck was good this time.


    At that moment, the Sky ughterer let out a deafening roar.


    "Roar!!!"


    Behind him, threemander-level Skyrakers received the order and immediately lunged at Jeremy. The other elite-level Skyrakers were also on the move.


    They pped their wings, sending sharp wind des shing toward Jeremy—there were easily over a hundred of them!


    However, Jeremy didn''t even spare a nce at the iing wind des.


    He retrieved the Necromancer''s Staff from his storage space, his eyes glowing with an icy blue light.


    "Boom!"


    A chilling aura erupted from his body, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet. Snowkes began to form in the sky.


    At the same time, crystalline ice arrows started to materialize behind Jeremy.


    "Ice Arrow Rain!"


    The ice arrows Jeremy conjured this time were several times more numerous than before!


    A dense array of arrows filled the sky, making one''s scalp tingle with fear.


    By this point, the wind des were almost upon him.


    Jeremy didn''t dodge.He let the wind des strike his body.


    Just as they made contact,afaint purple shield suddenly appeared around him.


    "Soul Guardian!"
