Chapter 248 Second Killing (1/2)

The three injured people healed their wounds with the help of the magic spiritual herbs Darren gave them. Not only had they been healed, but their strength had been improved as well.

Billy lay on the ground, motionless like an abandoned dog left to die. Crippling fear rose from the bottom of his heart, spreading through his limbs like poison.

”Please,” Billy begged, his voice trembling. ”Please don't kill me.” He would have wept if he had the energy to do so, but he was so drained that he could barely keep his eyes open.

”Remember what you made us feel when you tried to kill us? Well, have a taste of your medicine. Are you enjoying it so far? If Darren hadn't come along to help us, you would have shown no mercy and killed us. So what makes you think that we'll let you go?” Norris asked with a bitter smile on his face. His bones had been broken by Billy and there was no way he would forget how that felt like.

The cold anger that took hold of his heart grew more intense as he looked at the person responsible for putting him through so much pain. He then extended his hand and grabbed a handful of Billy's flesh, ripping it apart like a piece of meat for the long-awaited dinner.

Billy screamed in pain. Quite desperately, he grabbed Darren's leg to beg for mercy.

But Darren remained unfazed. He was usually generous, but Billy was a man who didn't deserve any mercy. He answered Billy's pleas with an icy smile.

One after another, the three took turns to torture Billy within an inch of his life. Even when Billy lost consciousness, they managed to wake him and continue the torment. They did not let any second go to waste.

”I think we have hurt him enough. Should we kill him now, Darren?”

”Not yet. We may find ourselves needing a dead dog. So let's keep him breathing for now. We need to focus on getting through the test,” Darren casually replied as he looked at the pitch-black cavern. An extremely horrible odor was coming from it, as though it was from an existence akin to a beast.

”Take him over there.”

Without further ado, they flew over and stopped in front of the cavern. As for the endless magical herbs, they had all been rendered immobile by Darren's breath, so there was no real harm anymore.

”Wait for me here. I will go in and have a look,” Darren said.

”Take care, Darren. The thing inside the cavern is very powerful.”
