Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 285

Their only job was to buy time.

'Please hurry, Neo. I can't hold these things for too long.'

The battlefield became chaotic as the tornadoes tore across the land and maggots consumed everything in their path.

The air was heavy with the stench of decay, and the flesh pillars continued to puke maggots.

Thanatos' expression was far from good.

An Intent clone was formed by fusing powerful Intent with complex techniques.

It had a specific number of techniques stored inside it, functioning as its ammunition.

Once an intent clone exhausted its techniques or sustained irreparable damage, it would cease to exist.

Thanatos had to use his techniques sparingly if he wanted to last for a long time.

Suddenly, purple cracks started to spread across the shadow summons' bodies.

The unblinking eyes on the pillars locked onto the shadow summons and obliterated them.

Two SSS-ranked shadow summons were eliminated in seconds.

If it had been a few decades ago, those two shadows could have conquered the world.

But before the [Angel] of an Outer God, they were no stronger than insects.

Thanatos gripped his sword tightly.

Red lightning crackled around him, illuminating the battlefield and the sky turned darker.

He summoned black tornadoes—formed from mimicked air elementals—raged across the land, temporarily stopping the maggots' in their path.

Thanatos entered the fray.

He slashed at the maggots and unleashed large-scale attacks.

However, his efforts inflicted no damage.

As the battle dragged on, purple cracks began to creep across Thanatos' own body.

Unlike Neo, he lacked the ability to heal.

The physical strength and blessings that Neo wielded could not be stored within an Intent clone.

Thanatos had weak defences due to being an Intent Clone.

Those defenses were weakened further at the moment as Neo had divided Thanatos into two Intent clones, sending one to rescue Jack and Emma while the other protected association headquarters.

The pillars trembled again as if enraged, noticing Thanatos' continued resistance.

Instantly, the spread of purple cracks on Thanatos' body accelerated.

His leg exploded in a burst of dark mist.

The sudden loss of his limb caused him to lose balance, and the maggots capitalized on the opportunity.

A particularly massive one lunged at him.

Its gaping maw aimed to tear apart his upper body.

Thanatos was too late to react.

At the last second, Kronos appeared beside him, and grabbed his arm.

In a blink, the two teleported away to a safer distance.

"Why are you outside?" Thanatos asked calmly, leaning on his sword like a crutch.

"To help you," Kronos replied.

He had used his Concept of space element to teleport himself and Ares outside the association building.

"Let me look at your injury," Ares said, stepping closer.

"It's fine," Thanatos interrupted. "This body has physical matter, but it is not a living body. It can't be healed with holy or life elements—"

"Then let me do it," Kronos said firmly.

He activated his Concept of time element, reversing the flow of time on Thanatos' injury.

The destroyed limb reformed as though it had never been damaged.

"See, we can help. There's no need to—"

A maggot launched a surprise attack before Kronos could finish his sentence.

Its enormous jaws clamped down, biting away Kronos' entire body in an instant.

What remained of Kronos' corpse fell lifelessly to the side.

Thanatos' gaze shifted sharply.

Ares was supposed to be covering them while Kronos healed him, but—

"He died too."
