Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 182

Neo could hear the souls thanking him.

He freed them.

They were grateful for ending their centuries-long despair.

Sensing their emotions, Neo understood why his blessing had cried.

Among the hundreds of voices, Neo heard a particularly different voice.

[??? is satisfied with your Judgment.]

[??? has unsealed the 2nd stage of your blessing.]

Neo felt his soul expand.

A soothing warmth surged throughout his body and—

It turned into searing pain.

Neo fell to his knees, clutching his chest, gasping for breath.

Something dark.

Something ominous appeared within his soul.

He closed his eyes, concentrating.

It wasn't easy to locate his soul.

However, Neo, having reached Adept mastery in Death, could use Death Elemental Vision.

It allowed him to see souls if he concentrated.

Neo followed the power of his blessing rushing into his soul.

He saw 'that' within himself.

Hell.

It was small and broken.

The power of his blessing nourished the Hell present in his soul.

Suddenly, his Divine Energy churned.

It flowed into his soul, helping his blessing repair the Hell.

The cracks disappeared slowly.

Neo lost track of time.

He remained on the ground, writhing in agony as his blessing and Divine Energy repaired the Hell.

It took days for the process to complete.

His body was covered in sweat when it ended, and over half of his Divine Energy was constantly flowing into the Hell to keep it working.

"What the is this damned thing?"

The Hell had always been in his soul. Just broken.

The blessing repaired it.

"This thing better be useful for making me go through all that."

He tried to look inside the Hell.

Basic information about it flowed into his mind, and he saw thirteen layers—thirteen circles—of different hells.

"Is this..."

The place was empty.

Neo could see the whole place with a glance.

Each layer was as big as a city.

He noticed the Necromancer's soul in the 5th circle.

"The Fifth Circle — the Furnace of Regrets."

Neo pursed his lips.

As if led by his instincts, he concentrated and used his blessing.

His Avatar appeared inside the 5th circle.

He looked around.

The place was covered in flames.

He walked towards the burning soul of the Necromancer.

The Necromancer raised his head sluggishly when he sensed another presence.

The flames, instead of killing him, forced him to relive the worst regrets of his life.

His gaze was unfocused and meek.

"You..."

His eyes regained clarity when he saw Neo.

"It's you!"

He tried to pounce on Neo, fueled by rage and hatred.

The flames surged and pushed him down before he could hurt Neo's Avatar.

The Necromancer was not discouraged.

He began to laugh.

"I told you! You are just as evil as me! Now you've been imprisoned in the Hell too!"

He was gloating until he saw Neo unharmed.

The flames weren't burning him.

"You... why are the flames not harming you? Why!?"

"I was the one who sent you to the Hell. Who do you think I am?"

His words answered plenty.

They were enough for the Necromancer to know why Neo stood in the Hell perfectly fine.

Before the Necromancer could answer, Neo canceled his Avatar.

His sense of self returned to him.

Opening his eyes, he saw himself sitting on the ground inside the Shadow window.

"Only the Necromancer is present in my Hell.

"It's almost as if he is a..."

"Gift to celebrate the achievement of creating my Hell."

His Hell was still young.

The Hell would grow stronger and larger as Neo fed more Divine Energy to it, as he regained his blessing and as he ranked up.

"But again, what's the point of the Hell..."

Unfamiliar information surged inside Neo's head.

They were the memories of the Necromancer.

Unlike earlier, they weren't a simple overview of his life, but detailed recollections of some of the Necromancer's experiences.

He exhaled deeply, unable to believe what he had just gained.

"Is this really true?"

He raised his hand and muttered chants under his breath.

The chants were something he learned from one of the Necromancer's detailed recollections.

"O Death Beyond, be my hands, crush my enemies."

His Divine Energy churned.
