Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 116

Lucas' goal was to kill Neo.

It didn't matter if he did not do that with his own hands.

As long as he injured Neo and made him expend his Divine Energy, it was good enough.

Arthur's Shadow would do the rest of the job.

Neo, weakened, would be in a disadvantageous position if he fought against Arthur's Shadow.

He was tired and, although he blocked the attacks with Ocean's Embrace, some of them went past his defenses and injured him.

The portal disappeared.

Neo returned the sword to the sheathe and asked Obitus to reseal the blessing.

Lucas was likely returning to Depth Level 3.

Since he was injured, Neo could catch up to him if he pushed himself.

However, that was counterproductive.

It would give more time to Arthur's Shadow to revive, and Neo would be wasting more Divine Energy.

Neo turned around.

He moved towards the doorway of Depth Level 5.

…

Inner Castle, Depth Level 5

Jack woke up with a snap.

He sucked in a mouthful of air and collapsed to the ground, coughing.

"I… I'm alive?"

It took him a minute to compose himself.

Jack looked around and found himself in a room with broken walls.

He left the room.

"This is a castle."

A huge broken castle.

Even more shocking was the giant flower that loomed above the castle.

Dozens of tendrils came out from the center of the flower.

Those tendrils stooped low, some of them entering the castle rooms like the one Jack woke up in.

"It's my first time seeing an elemental flower. I guess I was revived through one of the seeds of the elemental flower."

He shivered.

It was cold.

Looking down, he noticed he was naked.

Jack used a Shadow Weave Spell to create a robe out of the Shadows.

He wore it and roamed the area slowly.

"I can take things at my own pace.

"After all, I'm sure everyone already left."

Despite his nonchalant face, there was an unhidden melancholy behind his voice.

Elemental flowers formed at the core of the Window.

The core area was the part of the Window closest to the other dimension.

In other words, Jack in the deepest part of the Window.

It was too dangerous for others to rescue him.

He was left alone to fend for himself.

"I guess they would've closed the Window by now and left."

Jack choked when he realized he was stranded in a place with no hope of rescue.

He held back his tears.

This was no time to mope around.

He had to look for a way to survive.

While he was searching through the castle for something to eat, he came across a giant Shadow monster.

Jack hid his presence and entered Shadow Space to hide himself. _{freёwebnovel.com}

He stared at the Shadow monster.

It kept circling on particular area.

As if it was protecting the room behind it.

Jack looked above and noticed a group of tendrils entering the room.

"Is that where the elemental Seeds of the Shadows are?"

His heart raced.

He recalled the overwhelming might of Arthur's Shadow.

"How many of the Shadows are alive?
