Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 120

The Shadow monsters noticed Jack's presence.

They dashed towards him.

With nowhere left to go, Jack was forced to fight them.

He continued to cast Spells without break.

But it was not enough.

Injuries piled up on his body.

His exhaustion grew.

And finally, an attack managed to go past his guard.

The claws of Shadow monster stabbed deep into his shoulder.

The monster grabbed him.

It raised Jack and smashed him into the ground.

The air was knocked out of his lungs and blood poured out of his wound non-stop.

His vision blurred.

The monsters rushed at him from all sides.

Jack could not move, let alone resist.

He closed his eyes, not wanting to see his own death, when suddenly the presence of Death erupted inside the hall.

He opened his eyes in shock.

The monsters were cleaved into two halves with their upper torso separated from their legs.

Dead, their bodies fell to the side and he heard the familiar voice.

"Stop crying like a bitch already."

Those blood red eyes stared at him.

"Neo....?"

"It's team leader."

Suddenly, Jack laughed.

It wasn't the laugh of hopelessness.

He laughed cheerfully.

"You are late, you damned team leader."

"I had to take care of some issues on the way."

Neo approached him.

"Good work surviving until now."

"I know, right? I'm pretty awesome."

Hope returned to Jack's eyes.

"Only someone like me could've survived so long in this hellhole."

He grinned.

A wave of relief washed over him and he lost consciousness.

...

Jack woke up with a groan.

His body seized up.

Where were the Shadow monsters?

He prepared to fight as soon as he recalled where he was.

Depth Level 5.

It was the deepest part of the Window.

The place closest to the World of Treacherous Shadow.

The Shadow monsters there were highest in numbers and the strongest across all Depth Levels.

"Calm down."

Neo's voice flowed from his side.

"I've dealt with the Shadow monsters."

"Neo? Wait, that wasn't a dream? You are really here!?"

"Yes, I came to rescue you--"

"Are you stupid?! Now, you are trapped with me! You are just throwing your life by coming to save me!"

"..."

Neo sighed.

He didn't take offense to Jack's words.

He definitely didn't.

"Stop shouting and wear something. Jr. Jack has breathed enough air for one day."

Jack froze.

He looked down and screamed like a girl.

"You shamed on me when I removed my shirt during the Salamander mission and you now you are going commando?"

"Hey, I didn't do it in front of girls!"

After wearing a robe of shadows, he calmed down, but his ears remained beet red.

Neo stood up and dusted his clothes.

"Follow me."

The two roamed the castle.

Jack realized there were no Shadow monsters.

He could sense a faint presence of death -- probably due to how many Shadow monsters Neo's killed -- but there was no corpse.

"This is?" _{freёwebnovel.com}
