Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 121

His eyes shot wide open.

"W-what? How are you doing that?"

Jack could not believe his eyes.

The ground below the castle was covered in Darkness.

He noticed the Shadow monsters, afraid of the Darkness, had not stepped into the castle.

An entire castle's area was under Neo's protection.

The amount of Divine Energy and mastery of Darkness needed for such feat left Jack stunned.

"Since when could you use Darkness to this level.

"No wait, I forgot to ask about it, but how did you defeat the Shadow monsters inside the castle alone?"

"I'll explain about it later. For now, let's go."

"Go where?"

"Somewhere not here."

Neo added,

"The Darkness is scary to the monsters, but it's not harmful them, since it takes time to devour anything and devouring something alive takes even longer.

"As soon the monsters realize this, they'll rush in to attack us."

Jack nodded with a concerned gaze.

He gave the map to Neo, since he took the key, and they left the room.

"We need to be careful about the Shadows too," Jack spoke.

"Don't worry about it. All of the Shadows have been defeated."

"Arthur's too? I saw it a few hours ago."

"Yeah."

Jack did not ask how many of them died while they defeated Arthur's Shadow.

He did not want to know.

"How are we going to leave through that horde of monsters?" Jack asked.

They stood at the castle gate.

Neo posed a different question instead of answering.

"How fast can you run?"

"I'm pretty slow. Why?"

"We'll run through the Shadow monsters."

"..."

Jack was not surprised.

He was getting used to Neo saying or doing batshit crazy things by now.

"I can summon Phantom Steed. What will you use?"

"I'll run."

"What!? Just summon something!"

"...?"

"Call a Shadow summon for yourself."

"I can't use that Spell."

"...That's the first Spell every Shadow wielder learns after they awaken their Shadow element."

Neo, like Jack, was not using mask.

Only Shadow wielders could do that and survive inside the Window connected to World of Shadow.

Because they were Half-Shadows themselves.

Neo did not say anything, but he found his situation weird.

If he was a Shadow who devoured the original Neo, he should've awakened his Shadow element.

But he was not able to use it.

If he was not a Shadow, or a Shadow wielder, it did not make sense why he could survive without the mask.

Jack summoned a Phantom Steed.

The black horse had thick legs and blue flames burned at his hooves,

Jack sat on top of it.

"Where are we going?" he asked.

"To the Depth Level 1. You'll use the key to open the Window."

A sigh escaped Jack's lips.

"I told you I need to learn how to use the key.

"At my current mastery, I can't open the Window," Jack said.

"The Window closed recently. The space at its border should be unstable and it will be easier to open.

"If we wait, the space will be stabilized.

Black flames materialized on his palms. _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}
