Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 157

His body was crumbling away, turning into dust.

Neo unleashed his Aura of Death and Darkness to reduce the impact of Holy and Life elements over him.

He absorbed the blood droplet hurriedly.

Two and a half…

Thrice….

Three and a half…

Four times….

Four and a half….

Five times!

The half of the blood droplet disappeared.

Neo was shocked to see the amount of Divine Energy stored in the blood droplet.

If the droplet was not inside the Well of Death, it would've cause war among the monsters for its ownership.

Half of Neo's arms had crumbled away.

The Holy and Life Element healed his wounds before burning them away again.

Neo bit his lips to stifle the screams.

Five times and a fourth….

Five times and a half….

Neo encountered a new problem.

His body was rejecting the Divine Energy.

It was too overwhelming.

He had become an overcharged battery.

Anymore and he would burst.

Neo gritted his teeth.

"This… is my blood… Fuck you mean I can't… take it back…."

He activated all of his Spells.

His mental energy was being drained at a rapid pace.

Blood trickled down his nose.

The Spells reduced his Divine Energy and made space for more.

Six times….

Seven times….

Eight times…

Eight times and a half…

Nine times….

Nine times and a half…

Ten times!

Neo absorbed the blood droplet.

He used Immortal swiftly and returned to world of living before the Holy and Life elements pulverized him.

His body healed.

He stumbled and fell to his knees, groaning.

Too much Divine Energy.

His current reserves were comparable to Grade 3, or even Grade 2 Mythic Demigod.

Neo used Ocean's Embrace, activated his blessing and materialized condensed bolts of red lighting.

Using three Divine Energy heavy techniques reduced the burden, but it was barely enough.

Neo felt bloated.

He gagged.

His skin turned purple as more and more of his blood vessels burst, unable to handle the Divine Energy.

Neo clenched his fists.

His nails dug into his skin.

He tried to concentrate.

"Darkness…. Devour."

The Darkness bloomed like a flower.

It crawled up Neo's skin and seeped into his body.

He devoured the Divine Energy.

The overflowing power disappeared slowly and Neo could finally breathe.

"Haah, fuck. I almost thought it wouldn't work."

Neo devoured the Divine Energy until only a fourth of his present reserves remained.

He kept his Divine Energy suppressed and devoured it as soon as it recovered more than a fourth.

"Better to place a limit on myself than explode like a balloon."

He could finally stop worrying about his Divine Energy pool.

Now, whenever there was a battle, he could stop limiting his Divine Energy reserves and use Essence Breath Spell to recover it to its full capacity.

With the amount he had, he wouldn't run out of Divine Energy even if he used all of his techniques at the same time.

"That's one thing out of the way."
