Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 149

It took a slow step forward and swung its massive fist toward him.

Neo's eyes narrowed.

He sidestepped quickly, avoiding the blow with minimal effort, but he could feel how sluggish his body was.

And.

The air was suddenly torn apart.

The golem, while slow, was powerful.

Its simple movements could create shockwaves.

The next golem followed.

It lunged at him with surprising coordination for such slow creatures.

Neo's hand moved to his sword hilt instinctively.

With a quick push of his thumb, the blade slid a fraction from its sheath — and the debuff lifted.

Neo's body surged with renewed energy.

The fog that had clouded his reflexes dissipated, and his movements became crisp and fluid.

Neo darted forward.

He closed the distance between him and the golems in a blink.

His sword flashed, wrapped in red lightning.

It cut cleanly through the first golem's leg, causing it to collapse into a pile of mud and stone.

The other golems responded in unison, but Neo was faster.

He moved like a shadow and weaved through their attacks.

One golem slammed its fist into the ground where Neo had just stood, creating a crater in the arena floor.

Neo leapt into the air.

He landed on the golem's back and drove his blade through its core.

The creature groaned before crumbling to pieces.

The first wave was reduced to nothing more than piles of dirt scattered across the arena floor within a few seconds.

But Neo had no time to rest.

The second wave was already emerging from the gate.

These golems were larger and more menacing than the first.

They were reinforced with stone armor, their bodies were bulkier, and their movements were faster.

'Eight of them.'

Neo counted.

'Seems like these ones have better coordination.'

Neo's hand tightened around the hilt of his sword.

He could feel the challenge growing.

The golems surrounded him quickly.

They attacked him from all sides with powerful.

Their attacks were synchronized, leaving no room for him to dodge.

Neo's body turned into a blur as he tried to evade the heavy blows while blocking the undodgeable ones with Ocean's Embrace.

He did not just dodge.

He parried, skillfully weaving counterattacks in his blocks.

But their defenses were stronger.

His blade, though sharp, struggled to pierce the stone armor that covered their bodies.

Each attack that landed was absorbed by the golems' thick, hardened shells.

Neo couldn't land a decisive blow.

'I can't use an Aura Blade so early. My Divine Energy reserves are too lacking for it.' _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

Sweat trickled down his brow as he calculated his next move.

The golems' attacks were becoming more precise.

They were adapting.

Neo lunged toward the closest golem with a burst of speed.

His blade sliced through its arm, but the golem retaliated with surprising agility.

It swung its other fist toward him.

Neo twisted in mid-air, narrowly avoiding the blow.

The golems didn't relent.

They pressed the attack with their impeccable coordination.

Neo used his superior agility to continue moving and dodged their attacks.

He cleaved through the head of one golem with a well-timed strike, then spun around to deliver a fatal blow to another.

Within minutes, the second wave had fallen—but Neo could feel his muscles burning from the effort.

The gates trembled again.

The third wave emerged—ten golems this time.

Their bodies were darker and more menacing.

These golems weren't just stronger; they were faster, and their coordination had reached a new level.

They moved as one, surrounding Neo in a perfect formation, leaving him no room to move around.
