Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 126

Neo, revived, open his eyes.

A burning sensation surged through his body.

He clutched his heart and doubled over.

Groans escaped his lips.

He lacked the Divine Energy to heal completely after the revival.

The torturous pain nearly knocked him out when suddenly Neo felt someone place their hand on his back.

A comfortable flow of energy entered his body through those hands.

The pain disappeared.

Healed, Neo raised his eyes.

"Amelia? What are you doing here?"

"I came to check on you."

She scratched her cheeks.

After helping him sit on the sofa, he prepared a drink for him.

"Thanks." Neo sipped the drink. "But how did you enter the room? I'm sure I locked the door."

"Neo, congrats on completing the mission—"

"Amelia, don't change the topic."

"…Mom gave the keys to me."

"Why does she have keys to my room?"

"She has the keys to my room too." Amelia stared at him in annoyance. "You should be happy you don't need to share the bed with her."

"She sleeps with you?"

"Yes, and she…"

Amelia let out a subdued frustrated scream.

"I can't sleep with her! She hugs me too tightly! I haven't slept properly a day since she came here!"

Neo placed the empty cup on the table.

"Why didn't she come to meet me herself?"

"She doesn't want to meet you right now. Mom's frustrated she couldn't help you."

Amelia sighed.

"She is thinking she failed you."

"What?"

"Don't ask me what goes through her head."

Amelia shrugged.

She stood up.

"I came here to check up on you. You can rest now."

Just as she was about to leave, she stooped at the door and turned to look at him.

"Welcome back."

Amelia left and the door closed behind her.

Neo massaged the back of his neck.

"I guess I need to buy a new lock."

After taking a bath, he slept.

The mission had been too exhausting.

He wanted to rest.

In the morning, he woke up with a jolt when his senses warned him of an incoming attack.

He rolled off from the bed and dodged the poison-coated dagger by a hair's breadth. _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}

The assassin was wearing a shroud of shadows that hid his body and face.

'Did Zeus Clan send him? No, even they won't do as assassination so openly.'

Neo got in a position to fight.

Suddenly, a dagger pierced his heart from the behind.

The second assassin, who sneaked up on Neo, twisted the blade.

Neo looked down at the tip of the blade coming out of his chest.

"How…?"

His Death affinity never warned him of the sneak attack—

Neo woke up.

He was breathing heavily and drenched in sweat.

Looking around, he noticed it was only midnight.

"Was it a dream?"

He grabbed his forehead.

"It was too realistic to be a dream."

The faint headache made it hard for him to think straight.

Hearing the voices, Neo realized it was not a simple dream.

It was a hallucination created by the Darkness.

"Seems like I overused the Darkness during the mission. I can't control it properly anymore."

The volume of the noises increased.

Neo could not sleep.

The hallucinations of the assassins began to appear in front of his eyes while he was awake.

He groaned.

His head felt like it would explode.

Amidst the countless voices speaking to him, he heard the voice of Obitus.

Hold me…

Neo….

The sword called out to him.

Neo found it hard to concentrate.

He bit his lips and tried to look around the room.

The hallucinations made it hard for him to find the sword.
