Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 153

"I'll take care of the ad Hound. You only need to distract his minions."

Selene took out a tiny black ball from her Shadow Space and gave it to him.

"It's a Black Pearl fruit. The corrupted monsters love it.

"The minions of Mad Hound are all corrupted monsters. They'll follow you as long as you have that fruit."

Neo took the fruit from Selene.

She nodded to him and activated her Shadow Movement Spell.

Her body turned into a drop of ink and fell into the shadows on the ground.

"She'll search for the Mad Hound and defeat it while I distract his minions. It's a simple plan, but I don't dislike it."

He unsheathed Obitus.

The minions, dozens in numbers, were small monsters of misshapen shapes.

Some of them looked like humans with twisted limbs and crawled on all fours while their stomach faced the sky.

Some had the head of a bear, the hands of a grasshoppers and the body of a beetle.

Neo kept the black fruit inside his pocket.

The minions rushed at him from all sides, their claws drawn.

He was about to react in kind when suddenly his blessing reacted.

It activated on its own.

Neo, surprised, was forced to dodge the monsters and retreat.

He jumped back to put some distance between the minions and back.

"Obitus, what are you doing?"

I did not trigger the blessing, Master…

The blessing was activated from the other side….

"The other side?"

The minions caught up to him and attacked.

Neo ducked to dodge the overhead swing.

He slashed at the minion's thigh and kicked it away.

The one who gave you the blessing activated it…

Neo's eyes widened.

The blessing was given to him by the Underworld.

"What does the Underworld want from me?"

There was no time to think.

The blessing was draining his Divine Energy at a frightening pace.

He couldn't deactivate it.

"I'll finish this before my Divine Energy empties out."

Neo slide the sword back into the sheath.

He took the stance and wrapped the blade in Aura of Death and Darkness.

He compressed the auras and let them build up.

The minions attacked him.

Just as their attacks were about to land, Neo unsheathed the blade and slashed, too fast for the eye to see, in wide arc.

The air around him ruptured and the ground shattered.

The minions dropped at a frightening pace as the Death reaped their lives.

Neo returned the blade to the sheath with a soft click.

He looked at the corpses around him.

"It was quite easy. Looks like Selene was right.

"Mad Hound didn't have time to refill his stash of minions."

Neo thought everything was over until he saw his blessing still activated.

It refused to deactivate.

Master, the blessing wants you to….

"I know. I noticed it."

Neo could hear — feel — why the blessing was going out of control.

"It wants me to give a closure to the minions."

The minions, corrupted by the Darkness, would become a part of Darkness after their death in Underworld.

They would suffer for eternity while experiencing the insanity of Darkness.

The same madness Neo suffered while he used Darkness.

Listening to the voices of Darkness for a few seconds was painful.

Neo did not want to think how it would feel to hear the voices for the unending eternity.

"The Underworld wants me to make the minions a part of myself instead of letting them suffer under the True Darkness."

Neo nodded.

He always planned to do that.

There was no way he was letting go of free stats.

The Darkness hidden inside his shadow bloomed.

It devoured the minions.

The voices returned.

Neo could feel a faint presence of minions settling inside him just like everything he devoured.

"Giving the closure to the dead, huh.
