Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 212

The blade pierced his skin.

Just as it was about to touch his heart, Neo stopped.

"I'm getting tired of faking it."

His eyes became clear.

"Sorry, but you could never control me since the beginning."

Neo felt a foreign power trying to control him.

"You want me to kill myself?"

He could read the orders Anomaly #33 was giving him.

After that, it was his choice to follow the orders or not.

"Seems like you are confused why I can resist your control," he said and returned his sword to the sheath, not intimidated in the slightest.

"As I said, you could never control my mind. I let you do it."

The noose in Neo's hand started to disappear.

He could feel the confusion of Anomaly #33 in his mind.

"How, huh."

It was normal for the monster to be confused.

Neo's skill was still not strong enough to resist Anomaly #33.

However, he had something else.

[Age]

Thanks to World Core, Demigods gained resistance to elements as they grew older.

Both physically and mentally.

Neo was physically young, but the same was not true for his mental age.

He had lived for eternity.

Anomaly #33, who used Mind Element to control others, could not manipulate his mind unless he let himself be controlled.

Neo's brows rose.

He could feel the emotions of Anomaly #33.

"Look at you, your confidence returned as soon as you received the answer."

Anomaly #33, a phenomena-type monster, existed as the play of 'Hanged King's Tragedy.'

How could one kill a 'play'?

He shook his head with a sigh.

"Seems like you really think you can't be killed because you are an abstract concept.

"Use your head, why would I go through weeks of nonsense unless I could defeat you?"

Red lightning manifested around Neo.

The Anomaly grew agitated.

It dispersed and tried to escape.

Unfortunately, the black dome, Coffin of Darkness, proved to be an unbreakable cage.

"You can't even break a simple Darkness-based trap. Seems like all you can do is control the minds of other people."

The thick presence of Death surrounding Neo swirled like a typhoon.

It filled the insides of the Coffin of Darkness completely.

The Anomaly #33 had been cornered.

"Since I'm in a good mood, I'll tell you why you are going to die today," Neo said, recalling Kane, who had awakened.

He had purposely cornered Kane mentally to put pressure on him and help him awaken.

Neo felt content, knowing Kane could now defend himself.

He spoke the words he had read.

"Case File AZ10CE: Anomaly #33 containment method is as follows:

"Anomaly #33 is a phenomena-type monster.

"It has no physical or spiritual body. It exists as a conceptual entity.

"Anomaly #33 controls its target's mind and makes them act in the play 'Hanged King's Tragedy.'"

Neo explained.

"As the play progresses, Anomaly #33's presence grows concentrated around the 'protagonist' of the play.

"The Anomaly #33 covers the protagonist completely when the play ends. It eats the protagonist's soul after hanging them.

"At the exact moment when the play ends, the presence of the Anomaly #33 reaches its peak."

Neo's words were simple technical jargon he read in documents.

The words were simple and to the point.

They looked like a normal monster information file,

information that needed countless sacrifices before it could be completed.

Neo, having lived in the apocalypse for the past weeks, could picture how many people had died and would continue to die at the hands of Anomaly #33.

"To defeat Anomaly #33, seal the area around the protagonists of the play as soon as he is hanged. "Using an isolation space barrier is recommended."

The red lightning thrashed around wildly.

Neo could feel Anomaly #33's presence disappearing.

"After Anomaly #33 is sealed inside the barrier along with the protagonist of the play, use Death element to kill everything present inside."

Death element could kill everything.

Physical body. Soul.

Even abstract concepts.

Mastery in element needed to be high to kill abstract concepts, of course.

But it wasn't a problem for Neo, who was on the verge of reaching Expert-rank mastery.

"I didn't kill you earlier because your presence was spread throughout the city, and you could escape the city too if you were in danger.

"But now?

"Now you are trapped with me."

The red lightning suddenly returned to Neo's body.

For a moment, nothing happened,

like the calm before the storm.

Then, the presence of Death erupted from Neo, dozens of times stronger than before, and everything within the Coffin of Darkness was erased.

…

Outside Coffin of Darkness

"Ugh… he could've held back," Kane groaned.

His forehead was swollen due to Neo's flick.

He stood up and noticed the citizens were writhing on the ground.

"This must be Neo's doing."

A smile was about to appear on Kane's face when suddenly he sensed something.

He snapped his head towards the south side.

"Having my senses strengthened because I awakened feels… weird.

"It's like I can see through the walls, taste food that is kept far from me, hear ants walking on the ground."

Kane looked at his arms.

The influx of information did not overpower his brain.

He felt comfortable, as if he was a fish who had finally returned to the water.

"The statue monsters have returned."

Kane could tell the identity of the monsters who appeared within his range.

He was breathing heavily by the time he encountered the first statue monster. _{freēwēbnovel.com}
