"Your prey died in fear and pain, and you gained 2000 points of Fear Points."

Shen Hao received two consecutive notifications from the game system, indicating that the deaths of these two people had given him 4,000 points of Fear Points.

Now he only has two prey left.

This means that this Instance will be completed soon.

He felt it was a pity; he had wanted to play a little longer, but there was really no way around it. These people might commit suicide if pushed to the limit.

Moreover, these people were quite strong after receiving the Instance; if he hadn't used the Demon Domain ability, he wouldn't have been able to stop them from committing suicide.

If any of them successfully commit suicide, it would have an extremely negative impact on the Demon's reputation.

If one can successfully commit suicide at the hands of Demon, then who will be afraid of Demons in the future?

This is quite a shameful thing.

However, he won't let that happen.

Now he's going to end this game, because these two prey, who are only focused on suicide, are really not fun.

He looked at the two remaining living people and withdrew the tentacles that were wrapped around the two corpses.

Feeling the BOSS's gaze, Jiang Wen and Cao Wenzhe felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over them, and a chill rose from the bottom of their hearts.

As they looked at the two mangled corpses on the ground, fear involuntarily crept into their hearts.

The two men died a gruesome death; their bodies were riddled with tiny wormholes from which tiny insects, barely visible to the naked eye, crawled out.

Looking at the two corpses, the two men felt utterly hopeless, their hearts filled with despair.

This boss is too cruel, he's practically Demon, but they can't even move now, they can only let the boss do whatever he wants to them.

They could hardly imagine what cruel things were about to happen to them.

As the boss approached the two, their despair intensified.

"Kill me, please," Jiang Wen pleaded, her voice trembling.

Her voice was extremely humble. Now, she was willing to do anything as long as the BOSS would spare her suffering and kill her directly.

Cao Wenzhe felt utterly disdainful as he watched Jiang Wen's humble pleas.

Although he was also afraid of being tortured, he couldn't bring himself to beg an Instance boss.

This is so embarrassing.

Moreover, he still has a trump card that he can use soon.

He discovered that the forces binding him were gradually loosening, and he was now able to try using his abilities.

After receiving the Instance bonus, he also gained a new ability: he could concentrate all his power into his body and self-destruct with astonishing force.

He initially thought it was a useless skill that would kill a thousand enemies but also cause him to lose a thousand and eleven of his own. No matter what the enemy was like, he was certain to die if he used this power.

He didn't like this ability at first, but now this ability to commit suicide is very useful.

However, he had been restrained by the BOSS's power, preventing him from using this ability, but now that restraint was loosening.

Therefore, he doesn't need the BOSS to have mercy; if he's given a little more time, he can complete the self-destruction.

At this moment, his body was secretly gathering power, and all the power in his body gradually converged in his chest.

Now all that's needed is for him to gather enough power to successfully complete his self-destruction.

He hoped Jiang Wen could buy him more time.

His wish came true; the BOSS indeed ignored him, seemingly unaware of his intentions, and instead walked towards Jiang Wen.

Cao Wenzhe secretly rejoiced, thankful that he had gained this ability; now he could commit suicide immediately.

However, he needs to time his move carefully, ideally after the BOSS has killed Jiang Wen.

He was worried that if he accidentally killed the BOSS, Jiang Wen would get a huge advantage.

This must absolutely not be allowed to happen.

In his view, sacrificing oneself for the benefit of others is absolutely the most foolish thing in the world.

Jiang Wen continued to humbly plead with the BOSS, but she knew in her heart that the chances of her moving him were extremely slim.

But even with this sliver of hope, she was unwilling to give up.

The main problem was that her three teammates died such a tragic death.

"Fine, I can make your death easier, I might even allow you to take your own life."

The BOSS spoke in a deep, hoarse voice that was quite unpleasant to hear, but to Jiang Wen it was like heavenly music.

She never expected that the BOSS would actually respond to her request.

It seems this boss isn't as ruthless as he appears.

"Thank you so much! I'll do anything you ask as long as you can spare me from too much pain!"

"Very well, as long as you cut him into a thousand pieces, I'll allow you to commit suicide."

I hope he stays conscious throughout this process. If he dies, your fate will be worse than his.

"Isn't this a bit too..."

Jiang Wen hesitated for a moment. This was too cruel, and if she really did it, she would likely be sought after for revenge when she returned to the real world.

"Since you won't accept my suggestion, then I'll cut you into a thousand pieces!"

"No, I promise you!" Jiang Wen said hurriedly.

But in the end, she decided to agree to the boss's proposal.

Because if she didn't do it, she would be the one to suffer a thousand cuts.

Anyway, her name is fake, and Cao Wenzhe might not be able to find her after he leaves.

Furthermore, Cao Wenzhe would also lose 90% of his experience points, so she might not necessarily be afraid of him.

"You—you bastard!" Cao Wenzhe immediately cursed.

He never expected that the boss would actually respond to Jiang Wen's request.

Isn't this a heartless monster? How could it possibly heed someone's pleas for mercy?

A tentacle extended from the BOSS and handed a scalpel to Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen hesitated only slightly before reaching out and grabbing the knife, then walking towards Cao Wenzhe.

You'd better not try to commit suicide, because you can't possibly succeed.

Watching Jiang Wen's retreating figure, the BOSS offered a gentle reminder.

Jiang Wen had no doubt about this. After witnessing the BOSS's power, she truly felt that it was impossible for her to commit suicide successfully at the BOSS's hands.

As Jiang Wen gradually approached, Cao Wenzhe felt increasingly anxious.

He believed that Jiang Wen would really cut him into more than a thousand pieces.

Such pain is truly unbearable.

However, he has not yet accumulated enough power to self-destruct.

Just a little bit more.

He needs to buy himself some more time.

He didn't need to guarantee how powerful the explosion would be, but he had to guarantee that he would die in it.

Otherwise, he'd be asking for trouble.

He glared at Jiang Wen with resentment, imprinting her face in his mind.

He now absolutely hates this woman.

He vowed that once he returned to the real world, he would find a way to kill this woman.

But now, he must gather his strength as quickly as possible and absolutely cannot give this woman the chance to tear him to pieces.
