Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 208

The night deepened.

Neo and Kane were guided by a city council member to temporary residence.

"You will be given jobs tomorrow based on your expertise.

"Until then, this will be your residence," the city council member said.

"Thanks," Kane smiled.

He entered his room.

Neo stepped into the room given to him.

He went to the balcony and stared at the moon outside.

'I need to kill the monster to save the city.'

'But where is the monster?'

During the day, he and Kane roamed around the city to enjoy the festival.

Neo had tried to discreetly search for the monster back then.

His first thought was to look for places with high concentrations of Divine Energy.

The problem was, the entire city was covered by a thick blanket of Divine Energy.

It was hard to pinpoint the monster.

"And those hanged corpses…."

Neo looked down from the balcony, at the streetlights.

"This situation looks similar to the reports of Anomaly #33."

Traits of powerful and well-known monsters and anomalies were taught to students in the academy.

While Anomaly #33 was an extinct monster, it was famous because of its notorious deeds during the age of gods.

However, since the monster was old, only a bit of information about it was known.

"Anomaly #33, Phenomena-type monster.

"It controls people and makes them go through the play 'Hanged King's Tragedy.'"

Neo massaged his brows.

Phenomena-type monsters did not have physical bodies.

They existed as 'abstract concepts.'

In other words, the play 'Hanged King's Tragedy' itself was the Anomaly #33.

"Well, I guess it's a good thing the reports had the method to defeat Anomaly #33 at least.

"I just need to make sure my mind control resistance keeps working until I can find the core of Anomaly #33."

Neo stretched his fingers and yawned.

He decided to retire for the night.

His consciousness blurred as he lay on the bed—

Neo's senses blared alarms.

He triggered Ocean's Embrace Spell instinctively.

A powerful force hit his abdomen, and he was sent flying back.

His body broke through the walls of multiple buildings and crashed into the road.

"Dammit… Let me sleep in peace."

Neo dusted his clothes.

While the attack took him by surprise, he had no injury thanks to Ocean's Embrace protecting him.

"Y-yy-y-y-you!!!! Blasphemer, who saw my face! Found you!"

The statue, four meters tall, had defined muscles and physique.

It stood before Neo, doing a Side Chest Pose.

"…?" Neo stared at it, confused. "Why are you doing a pose?"

"Don't talk to me! Don't talk to me! I don't like people who saw my face!"

The monster alternated to a Front Lat Pose.

Contrary to its weird actions, it had a furious face, with which it glared at Neo bloodthirstily.

Neo sensed another presence in the vicinity.

He noticed the second statue, crawling on four legs like a spider on top of the buildings.

It had a similar furious expression as it muttered,

"You saw my face! My precious face!"

The first monster dashed towards Neo.

It pulled its fist back and punched towards his head.

The monster's hand shattered as if it had hit a stone.

Before it could react, Neo stepped closer to it and punched its chest.

The monster's body exploded.

He picked a small pebble-sized rubble and flicked it towards the second naked statue monster.

The pebble shot through the monster's head.

Dead, the monster fell from the building and crashed on top of a Honda Civic.

The battle ended within seconds.

"Shit! Kane!" _{freёwebnovel.com}
