Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 163

The Minotaur charged with a deafening roar.

Neo dodged the monster's swing and retailed with a quick strike to its ankle.

The Minotaur used its mace to block.

It grunted and raised its mace with a surprising agility, swinging its down in a wide arc.

There was no time to dodge.

The monster was too fast for its size.

Neo raised his sword.

He let the Minotaur's mace slide off his blade and he deflected it into the ground.

The floor shattered.

Neo's parry caused the Minotaur to lose its balance.

The monster staggered.

Taking the advantage of the situation, Neo leapt.

Death and Darkness wrapped around his sword flared.

The sword grew in length and Neo slashed, slicing off the Minotaur's arm with a clean, wide swung.

The forearm, which was larger than Neo, fell with a dull thud.

Instead of bellowing in pain, Minotaur acted as if it did not feel anything.

It moved it calculated coldness and grabbed Neo with its other arm, making Neo realize the Minotaur had baited him by sacrificing its arm.

The monster held him in a crushing grip.

Neo's bones cracked under the pressure.

Blood began to seep from his eyes.

He used Necrotic Touch and applied five stacks on the Minotaur's fingers.

Cracks appeared on its skin.

Its hand shattered.

Neo, freed, fell from its grasp.

He was about to land when the Minotaur, with its two last remaining hands, smashed him into the ground.

It roared and tried to pick its mace to finish Neo only to realize it couldn't.

The Minotaur looked down and noticed it was missing its hands.

At the last second, Neo had attacked instead of defending and sliced them off.

"You look better that way."

Neo stood up with a cough.

He wiped the blood clouding his vision and ran towards the Minotaur who had lost all four arms.

The monster stomped its feet, like an elephant trying to crush an ant, but Neo used his agility to dodge the attacks and climbed its body.

He leapt again to reach its head in one go.

Neo used the Aura Slash to behead the Minotaur.

The Minotaur fell with a resounding thud.

Neo stood over the fallen beast, breathless but victorious.

He watched the monster dissipate into black smokes.

The Divine Energy of the Labyrinth churned.

It rushed towards the center of the chamber and—

The deafening roar echoed.

Minotaur, revived, beat its chest as if to assert dominance.

"Of course, you'll revive you damned fat cow."

Just as Neo was about to raise his sword, the Minotaur moved so fast it disappeared from Neo's sight.

A giant shadow fell over him.

"Fuck."

The Minotaur fell over him, bringing down the mace with the power of gravity and momentum.

Neo died aad he had to use Immortal.

He clicked his tongue.

"I hate using this skill in the battle, but I guess it's fine since we are both cheating."

Healed and refreshed due to the revival, Neo attacked with full power to return the favor.

Professor Daniel's Office, Demigod Academy

Professor Daniel appeared inside the empty office.

He doubled over, coughing blood.

He took out his pocket watch with his trembling arms.

"I arrived a few weeks earlier."
