Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 219

Since his mastery had decreased, he couldn't control Death to affect only the monsters.

Some of the buildings had been pulverized.

The destruction was absolute—buildings reduced to jagged rubble.

Their towering silhouettes were nothing more than indistinct mounds of dust and twisted metal.

Concrete walls lay cracked and splintered, and windows shattered into glittering fragments were scattered across the ground.

The air was heavy with choking dust.

Neo snapped his fingers, and the red lightning lingering on the wreckages rushed towards him.

He began to absorb it.

Death elementals couldn't be converted back into Divine Energy.

He could, however, store the Death elementals within himself.

It was similar to storing petrol inside tank.

Currently, three red rings made of highly compressed Death Elementals were surrounding Neo's heart.

For the past six months, he absorbed all Death elementals he used after the battle ended.

He needed to do that, since he did not have a way to recover Divine Energy inside the Shadow World.

After absorbing everything, he jumped down from the wall and landed outside the city.

Kane, confused, followed behind.

"Where are we going?"

"Just come with me."

A few minutes later, Neo and Kane stood in an empty area.

"You've been training for the past months," Neo suddenly said, startling Kane.

"Yeah."

"How strong do you think you've become?"

"Pretty strong, I guess. Why are you asking this?"

"Let's fight. I want to see how your trait works, and it will help you train too."

Kane's smiling face stiffened.

He unconsciously took a few steps back.

"No," he spoke firmly. "I don't like to get beaten one-sidedly."

Neo rolled his eyes.

"Stop being a drama queen."

'You are nearing my level already. I'm sure you know it too.'

Neo didn't say the thought out loud.

Someone who had awakened only six months ago was almost as strong as him.

Funnily enough, knowing Kane's talent made Neo excited.

It gave Neo a target to surpass.

'Surpassing a genius. I wonder how that would feel.'

He smiled.

Since the day he decided to become the strongest, Neo was prepared to fight geniuses who were hailed as once-in-a-century talents.

They were a wall on his path that Neo was determined to conquer.

Looking at Kane's anxious expression, Neo shook his head.

'I think he is as talented as Jack. Maybe slightly less, but near his level.'

It was a big praise, coming from Neo.

Jack, when he entered the academy, was quite weak, yet he was now as strong as the students in the top 25.

'A Necromancer thrives on the death and despair of others. Jack could grow that strong without having anything that could help him grow as a Necromancer.'

'If Jack had access to the Underworld like me, he would've had a chance at surpassing Morrigan.'

The Shadow World was an opportunity for Jack.

He could fight monsters and kill criminals in the apocalypse without anyone judging him.

The deaths and massacres would help him increase his Death and Darkness element mastery.

'I just hope he doesn't get overwhelmed by Darkness.'

Talent was important.

But without Willpower, it was impossible to train the Darkness element.

"Come on. Start already."

"...Fine."

Kane unsheathed his sword at Neo's urging.

Today was the first time they were going to fight.

He was afraid and excited.

"Neo, I know this sounds pompous, but…."

Kane gulped.

"Don't let your guard down. Or you will die."

"Got it."

Kane raised the sword above his head.

"Seventh Stance—"

Kane took a deep breath and exhaled.

"Tenraizen."

His sword flashed in a downward motion, landing straight on Neo's shoulder.
