Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 270

Neo felt as if the entity in the sky was chuckling.

The sky seemed to ripple like waves in a midnight sea.

The entity above snapped its fingers, and a doll appeared before Neo.

She bowed.

Her porcelain face was devoid of emotion and her movements were unnaturally smooth.

"I'm E #23, one of the Gatekeepers of the Shadow World," the doll said, her voice soft but carrying an unsettling echo. "I will be answering you on behalf of the Supreme."

I thought the Shadow Supreme wouldn't bother answering me.

"The Shadow Supreme is a generous ruler. He is happy to answer the warriors who show a worthy performance to him," she said,

Neo clicked his tongue in irritation.

In the end, he was just an entertainer to the Shadow Supreme.

So, what's the reason? Why didn't my Shadow appear inside Shadow Windows?

"Because the Supreme stopped your Shadows from appearing inside the Shadow Window."

Her words made Neo freeze.

The doll continued speaking.

Her unblinking were eyes fixed on him.

"The Supreme wanted to know what had become of the Cursed Bloodline.

"That's why he stopped your Shadows from leaving.

"He knew you would come to this world to find your Shadows, and it would allow the Shadow Supreme to meet you."

What…?

Neo's mind spun.

He didn't understand why a Supreme would bother with a human from a non-elemental world.

Supremes ruled over Elemental Worlds.

They were existences beyond Gods.

"Your bloodline is unique," the doll said. "Of course, the Shadow Supreme could meet your Shadow to see what was happening with your Bloodline. But he wanted to meet the original Neo Hargraves, not a Shadow."

Neo frowned.

'I need to think calmly. She said a lot of things I don't understand.'

His thoughts churned.

'Cursed bloodline? Does this mean something is wrong with my bloodline?'

Before Neo could say anything, the doll opened her mouth, her voice final.

"We've answered everything. You can leave now."

She snapped her fingers, and the world around him twisted.

Neo felt a shift, and suddenly, he was standing next to a giant tree, the Typhaon's Core.

'They teleported me out of the Shadow Awakening trial without answering all of my questions.'

Frustration burned in his chest.

Shaking his head, he focused inwards.

The chaotic energy around him pulsed, responding to his intent.

'I've awakened Shadow affinity. Let's try it.'

The Shadow element allowed the user to mimic other elements.

The level of mimicry depended on the user's understanding of the mimicked element.

'I should try to mimic an element that I don't have an affinity with but have a high understanding of it.'

'It would be…'

Black light surged from Neo's palm.

It was faint but stable.

Mimicked Holy element. I can use it.

Being attacked by Holy element too many times had allowed him to gain a little understanding about it.

Needless to say, Neo's mimicked Holy element was weak.

He had only a little understanding of the Holy element, but it would change after he practiced more.

'This confirms the Shadow element awakening has completed.'

A smile spread on his face.

He stopped using the mimicked Holy element and activated the Essence Breath Spell.

The mimicked Divine Energy in the surroundings, previously poisonous, now flowed into Neo's Core.

Thanks to his awakening, the mimicked Divine Energy was no longer harmful to him.

His Core was filling at a swift pace.

Suddenly, Neo felt something change inside him.

Neo gasped, his chest rising and falling as he took his first breath with a fully regenerated body. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}
