Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 112

"I've used your sword to link your blessing to you. You should be able to feel the blessing's effect when you unsheathe it."

"What about the God Blood? It doesn't seem like you've taken it."

"Indeed, I haven't.

"I'll take your God Blood after you've returned from this mission. Until then, use the blessing to complete the mission."

Paimon closed the fan.

"I need to return to the Underworld. Barbatos is complaining about unsealing your blessing."

Her figure started to disappear.

Before she left, she flew and patted his head.

"May you be in good health and prosperity when we meet next again, child."

Paimon disappeared.

"Thank you," Neo said.

Although she had left, Neo had a feeling she heard him.

Suddenly, Neo's earpiece came to life.

Arthur's voice followed through it.

"Neo, I need your help!

"Come here quickly!"

He sounded desperate.

"What happened—"

"There is no time to explain! Please, be quick!"

"Got it."

An ominous promotion seeped into Neo's heart.

He turned to Lucas.

"We need to regroup with Arthur."

Lucas nodded.

Since Arthur was not within his line of sight and out of the range of his senses, he had to create multiple portals.

They returned as quickly as possible.

…

Depth Level 3, North-east side

Fifteen minutes ago

The white mist curled around Arthur and Leonora.

Arthur held his daggers in reverse grip and waited for his Shadow to attack.

Leonora stood with her back against Arthur's back.

Her breathing was labored.

She was exhausted due to the aftereffects of Neo's elixir and her Divine Energy had barely recovered.

"Stay sharp." Arthur warned her.

His heart thumped against his chest.

He was nervous and… afraid.

'The Shadow can use Invincible already.'

'Did it kill itself to reset the skill countdown?'

It was bad news.

"Leonora, don't let the mist disperse.

"My Shadow should be able to sense us with the Sound affinity, but the mist still blocks its vision."

"Okay."

She was used to fighting in the mist.

It didn't hinder her as it did others.

Leonora used an ice defense Spell to create an armor.

The sound of lightning crackling echoed from all directions.

Arthur tried to concentrate and use his Sound Affinity to locate the Shadow.

It was of no use.

The Shadow was faster — much faster — thanks to the Invincible skill that Arthur could not use himself.

"It's near," he whispered.

"Mhm."

Leonora prepared to cast Spells.

Her Holy Affinity was their only advantage against the Shadow, but she was too exhausted to make full use of it.

Suddenly, there was a sharp shift in the mist.

The Shadow appeared at the corner of their vision.

It looked no different from a black lightning running around.

A portal flickered open at its side, conjured by Lucas' Shadow, and it stepped through it.

Arthur's breath was caught in his throat.

Portals.

Lucas' Shadow was helping it.

Arthur's expression worsened.

Lucas Shadow's ability to sense them inside the mist spoke volume of Lucas' talent.

Unfortunately, it was no time or place to praise him.

The Shadow reappeared next to Leonora without warning.
