Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 115

"…?"

"Invincible," Lucas whispered.

Golden lightning crackled around him.

In one swift motion, he pulled out the bow from his back and aimed at Neo's head.

Time seemed to slow down.

"I've been ordered to eliminate you."

Lucas released the arrow.

Neo, aware of the incoming attack due to his Death affinity, dodged by a hair's margin.

In that short moment, Lucas was already far away from him.

He drew the bow and smiled.

"I can see you did not defeat my Shadow through a stroke of coincidence."

"Why the sudden attack.

"You were listening to all my orders since the beginning. Was all of it an act to for this moment?"

Neo frowned.

"Indeed, I wanted to finish it with a surprise attack. But I failed since you are a wielder of Death."

Unlike what Lucas expected, Neo was calm.

He was not surprised by his betrayal.

"You seem awfully composed."

"Do I?"

Neo never trusted Lucas.

Why would he trust him when he tried to kill Neo along with the phoenix during the A-rank mission? _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}

And.

It was better this way.

He could fight Arthur alone after the fallout with Lucas.

'It feels weird how he really did what I expected him to do.'

'Guess I can't expect more from a third-rate villain.'

Lucas pursed his lips when he saw Neo unsheathing his sword.

"Aren't you curious why my clan ordered to eliminate you?"

"Not really.

"I can guess it's something related to Zeus Clan not wanting another Great God Clan to appear and compete with them."

"That's terrifyingly close to the truth."

Lucas chuckled.

"But you know what?

"I have even more surprising news.

"You aren't the first demigod to awaken Hades' Bloodline. Do you know what happened to your predecessors?"

"…."

"They were eliminated.

"Just like you will be."

Lucas shot arrows through the portals.

Neo ducked to dodge the attack and dashed forward.

He used the floating wreckage as footholds to bridge the gap between him and Lucas.

Suddenly, a portal appeared — directly in his path.

There was no time to react.

Neo was running too fast.

His momentum carried him forward into the portal.

In an instant, he was spat out on the opposite side of the battlefield, far from where he had been.

Neo fell from the sky.

He used the wreckages to break his fall.

The sudden shift disoriented him.

It made him nauseous.

Worse, the distance between him and Lucas increased after he was teleported away.

'This is going to be tricky.'

Neo tightened his muscles.

He shot forward with explosive speed.

But the same situation repeated.

Every time he got close, Lucas would use a portal to teleport him away or slip away himself.

The sudden shifts due to teleportation gave Neo motion sickness.

It made it difficult for him to dodge the arrows that shot out from the fist-sized portals that suddenly appeared around him.

Neo's heart raced.

Lucas' advantage was too overwhelming.

His speed, his precise control over the battlefield, the way he used the portals to maintain the distance.
