Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 114

Leonora nodded with difficulty.

Before Neo could push the Aura of Death into her body, Arthur grabbed his hand.

"What are you doing!? You will kill her!"

"…"

"Stop this! We can still save—"

"Arthur, face the truth already."

"What truth!? Can't you see she's still alive!?"

Arthur grabbed Neo's collar.

Lucas and Nathan were about to intervene until Neo raised his hand to stop them.

He looked Arthur in the eye.

Arthur lowered his gaze after a few seconds.

"I'm sorry. I overreacted."

He let go of Neo's collar.

"This is my fault. Why am I even shouting at you?"

He looked as if he was about to cry.

Neo opened his mouth.

"It's not your fault. She was not just strong enough."

"…What?"

Arthur looked at Neo as if he had heard something absurd.

"The Shadow used Invincible, didn't it?

"That means it forcefully revived itself by fusing with another elemental seed.

"It should've been weaker due to it and she died to that—"

Arthur punched Neo in the face before he could say another word.

He would've attacked Neo again if not for others holding back.

Neo staggered.

Arthur glared at him.

"What did you just say!? Is that how you talk about your friend who just died!?"

Condensed golden lightning flickered around Arthur.

The lightning disappeared after a brief moment.

'He is angry after watching his friends die and he is exhausted.'

'It's still not enough to break his seal?'

'That bastard is a sadist to have left such seal on his own child,' Neo thought as he wiped the blood trickling down his nose.

Neo knew his words were insulting to those who died.

But he had to corner Arthur physically and mentally while the opportunity presented and try to break the seal on his unique skill.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"You…!"

The condensed golden lightning did not return.

After knowing the seal was nowhere close to its breaking point, Neo ignored Arthur and approached Leonora.

She was dead.

"Store her corpse," he said to Nathan.

Neo turned to Arthur.

"What happened here? I know you guys lost, but how did your Shadow escape?"

Arthur clenched his jaw as he retold everything except Sean's actions.

Neo could guess it, but he did not say anything for the moment.

"We'll take a short break before moving again."

The group sat down.

Lucas drank a healing potion to tend to his injuries.

Harrison was weakened after using Invincible and being almost turned to a shadow monster before being baptized.

His mental state was worse.

Sean sat in the far corner.

He pulled his knees closer and muttered gibberish.

The venomous words Clara's Shadow spat at him dealt a huge blow to him.

Arthur approached Neo.

He no longer looked like he was about to cry and he stared down at Neo with a hardened expression.

"Did you know already?"
