On the afternoon of the second day, Shen Hao was teleported into the Instance.
This is a seemingly ordinary city; apart from the somewhat dim sky, it's not much different from cities in the real world.
The city streets were bustling with people, some on foot and some in cars, and everything seemed orderly.
If you don't look closely, you wouldn't be able to tell that this is Instance of a Horror Game.
But this is Instance of Horror Game, so this "normality" feels very abnormal.
However, this "normality" is only superficial; upon closer inspection, there are still many abnormalities.
It's so quiet here; it's impossible for a bustling city to be so quiet.
Apart from the sound of the wind and the noise of various vehicles, there were no other sounds to be heard here.
The city, despite its seemingly bustling atmosphere, gives off a sense of oppression.
Everyone was quiet, their faces somber, and their eyes devoid of any light.
They were lifeless, as if they weren't alive, and even their gait was awkward.
They are soulless walking corpses.
But they walk openly on the streets, and they are the largest group in the city.
In short, it looks normal at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it reveals something eerie.
But he was Demon, and this environment actually made Shen Hao feel quite good.
"You have entered the Instance and are about to become the Instance boss."
Hearing this, Shen Hao felt a sense of anticipation, because he hadn't found any information about the BOSS in the strategy guide.
He was very curious to know who the mysterious boss of this Instance was.
He wondered if it might be the deity imprisoned by the Lord of the Netherworld, after all, it was the most powerful being in this Instance.
Moreover, it seemed unwilling to be rescued by the players and even killed several of them.
But Shen Hao felt it was unlikely, because the players' task was to release that deity, which was the objective of their mission.
It wouldn't be normal if He were Instance boss.
Moreover, in the previous S-level Instance, the BOSS he transformed into belonged to the Lord of the Netherworld's faction, opposing all other players.
There is no reason for him to transform into that sealed deity.
But he'll soon find out the result.
He felt the changes in his body.
His body gradually disappeared, and his consciousness floated in the air, entering the body of a young man.
"What's going on?" Shen Hao looked at his new body, which seemed quite ordinary, with nothing special about it, and he felt like an ordinary person.
It's not entirely ordinary; compared to non- Ability Users, it's still quite strong, but compared to Ability Users, it's not particularly outstanding.
He felt that the basic attributes of this body were far inferior to his own.
His base stats weren't particularly high to begin with, but the Instance bosses were far inferior to him, which was really hard to believe.
However, it's also possible that he's just too strong right now.
Shen Hao opened the system panel and began to check his current situation.
First, let's look at the basic attributes.
Physical fitness: 1160+300
Spirit: 150
Since he has reached level 20, his base attributes have also changed.
As you can see, this so-called BOSS only has 300 points of Constitution and 0 Mental Attribute, making it significantly weaker than the Executioner from the previous Instance.
Furthermore, the Executioner possesses a very powerful weapon and is unaffected by mental attacks, but this boss does not have such powerful abilities.
He saw the BOSS's abilities; there were two in total.
"Devotion: You possess the bloodline of the Lord of the Netherworld's oldest and most Devotion followers, and you will not be affected by their resentment or curses."
This ability isn't entirely useless.
Most of the Netherworld is now covered by the resentment and curses of the Lord of the Netherworld.
Any being that comes into contact with this resentment will gradually lose its reason; even the gods of the Netherworld will be affected.
Therefore, this ability can be said to be one that even gods do not possess.
However, it's useless in this Instance because there's no resentment from the Lord of the Netherworld here, at least not during the Instance's existence.
Therefore, this is considered a very useless skill.
However, this boss does have one useful ability.
"You are a descendant of the Lord of the Netherworld's oldest and most Devotion believer, and are favored by the Lord of the Netherworld."
The blood in your veins will make all those who share your faith feel close to you, and they will be at your beck and call.
Even though they have lost their souls, they can still sense your call and obey your commands.
Of course, you can also control their souls.
Shen Hao finally understood why this person was the Instance boss; this ability was quite useful.
Everyone here has received the blessings of the Lord of the Netherworld; they are all Lord of the Netherworld followers.
Therefore, the Instance boss can control everyone in the city.
Even though those people have lost their souls, they will respond immediately to any command he gives.
Moreover, the people in this city are not ordinary people, because the great formation here draws on the power of the sealed god, and that power nourishes the people living here.
Therefore, the people in this city are all physically fit, and with so many people combined, they are fully capable of contending with those with Ability User.
Moreover, it holds an absolute advantage.
In addition, he can control the souls of those people; at night, the people in the city will be asleep, but their souls will appear.
So many souls, too, constitute a terrifying force.
This is probably why those players couldn't clear this Instance.
They underestimated this person, assuming he was just like any other resident, but in reality, he was the boss of the Instance.
Those players must obtain the boss's blood to destroy the last Formation Eye.
But now, those players have no hope of clearing this Instance.
Actually, if this BOSS hadn't lost his soul and become a walking corpse, even if he hadn't come, those players would have been hunted down to death if they entered the Instance.
This seemingly weak boss is actually quite strong.
Shen Hao then checked his tasks.
This time, there are two tasks, and he must complete both tasks to receive the reward.
The first task is the same as before: he needs to hunt down all the players who enter this Instance.
His second task was to kill the deity sealed away by the Lord of the Netherworld.
"He has only a little power, yet he is arrogant and dares to call himself a god."
The Lord of the Netherworld's mercy has allowed him to live to this day, but you should make him understand what price he must pay for his overstepping.
Similar to the previous Instance, he still had to kill a being who claimed to be a god.
Although the mission description refers to it as "having some power," it shouldn't be weak.
Otherwise, the Lord of the Netherworld wouldn't have personally sealed Him away.
But His power has been continuously drained by the great formation for countless years, so there probably isn't much left.
Moreover, this time he was different from before; he now possessed the blood of Demon.
He's one step closer to becoming a true Demon.
