Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 261

"I should finish this," Jack said. "Now that I think about it again, weren't these guys a bit too weak for Sovereigns who were direct underlings of Typhaon?"

Jack shook his head.

They were strong, but he wasn't weak either.

'I shouldn't doubt my own abilities.'

Darkness stretched beneath Jack and he activated his Spell, Corpse Memories

It allowed him to take a peek at the recent memories of a corpse.

This Spell would help him find the Child of Mana and the Core of Typhaon.

….

Finally, I've completed my Concept.

Thanks, uncle.

The desolate battlefield stretched out endlessly, littered with scorched earth and broken stones.

The sky, shrouded in ominous gray clouds, seemed to ripple around the monster made of red lightning.

"What is that?" Zeus muttered. "That thing is not… human."

The humanoid figure made of red lightning turned its faceless head toward Zeus.

It had no face or any distinctive feature.

A heavy aura of oppression pressed down on Zeus.

The air itself seemed to grow denser and harder to breathe.

Intense terror clawed at his mind, making his pulse race.

He unconsciously started to sweat.

The 'monster' disappeared in a flash, and Zeus felt a breeze pass by him.

Isn't it too rude to call me a thing, uncle?

The voice echoed from behind Zeus.

Before Zeus could move, blood trickled from his eyes and mouth.

His knees buckled, and he collapsed face-first into the dust.

The metallic scent of his own blood filled his nostrils as strength drained from his body.

'He attacked me? When? No, how did his attack even bypass my defenses so easily?'

Zeus tried to move, but his body didn't respond.

He attempted to summon lightning, only to realize his mana was completely depleted.

'What…?'

Your defenses aren't strong enough to stop my Death, uncle.

Hearing Neo's words, realization dawned on Zeus.

Neo's Death had ascended to a completely different realm of strength.

'I shouldn't have let him build up death.'

Even Zeus who could analyze, counter, and copy any technique he could see once was unable to understand Neo's death.

He glared at Neo.

Neo ignored him, stepping past the fallen man.

With his Concept now complete, his mastery of Death had returned and evolved to reach Expert rank.

"Where are you going!?" Apollo's voice rang out.

He stood in Neo's path.

The air grew heavier, brimming with Holy energy.

Bright golden light began to flood the battlefield as Apollo's Divine Transformation amplified his strength.

The oppressive presence of Holy elementals surged exponentially in the surroundings.

Apollo launched a full-force attack, holy flames crackling as they soared toward Neo when suddenly—

Die.

Neo's voice rang out, cold and absolute.

The golden sun vanished from the sky as if erased by an unseen hand.

Apollo staggered.

His strength dissipated with Sunshine.

He looked up, his face pale with shock.

"Where did it go…?"

It's dead

Neo snapped his fingers and Apollo collapsed to the ground, drained of all strength.

Don't worry. Spirits can be revived if you feed the Spirit Seed enough Divine Energy.

Neo stepped past Apollo.
