Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 156

Unlike Selene, he had smelled the scent of Neo's blood even though Neo devoured it as soon as it came in contact with air.

"Finish him," Neo said.

Selene stood up.

With a swift thrust, she pierced Mad Hound's head.

The werewolf continued to stare at Neo until the end with greed.

Neo destroyed his body with Death element after he died.

He made sure no one could devour Mad Hound's corpse and let him escape from True Darkness.

"Thank you."

Selene lowered her head.

"I could get my revenge only because of…."

She choked up.

She finally avenged her friends.

Neo patted her back.

She tried to hold back her tears, and spoke,

"I… I'm fine. I'll take you to the place."

"There is something I need you to do before that."

Neo brought her to the unconscious Gwen.

"She is…?"

"The Zeus Clan's soul working under Mad Hound. I want you to take care of her after she wakes up."

"Wouldn't she try to fight me?"

"She will. That's why you need to deal with her without harming her.

"Just say that you saved her from me.

"If she doesn't listen to you, tell her some random bullshit about you wanting revenge against me and you saved her because you saw yourself in her or something.

"I'm sure she'll follow you after that."

Selene didn't ask why Neo wanted to help the girl, or why the girl wanted to kill Neo.

She owned him and was prepared to do whatever he demanded.

"Makes sure she doesn't die or fall to the corruption."

After understanding the power of the blessing, Neo was torn between the choices.

Was it really correct to revive Gwen and others?

In the Underworld, their lives would be judged and they would receive appropriate verdict.

Death wasn't a cruel mistress.

She was the inevitable end of the journey known as life.

There was no need to avoid her.

'....'

Neo decided to have Selene babysit Gwen until he made a decision.

After he explained everything to Selene, she carried Gwen over her back.

The three traveled through the forest and reached a massive hole.

"The blood droplet in down there."

Neo peered into the hole.

It stretched across hundreds of meters and its depth was obscured with darkness.

Even with his ability to see in the dark, he couldn't find the end of the hole.

"Are you sure there is a blood drop down there?"

"Yes, and it's a big one."

Neo frowned.

"Why isn't anyone trying to take it? This place is as empty as they come."

"Because this place is called 'Well of Death'. Anyone who entered it never left."

Selene continued.

"Neo, I know you want the blood droplet, but please think about your safety too—"

"Take care of Gwen."

Neo cut her off and jumped.

His body fell into a hole at an alarming speed.

His clothes fluttered and Neo could sense the increasing presence of Death.

'Strange, this presence of Death doesn't belong to my blood.'

'Why can't I sense the blood droplet?'

Neo stretched his senses to the limit.

His actions alerted the monsters hiding in the wall of the hole.

Giant worms came out.

They dashed towards Neo, their maws filled with thousands of razor-sharp teeth ready to tear him apart.
