Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 299

He continued to fight without breaks.

’Will you stop already!?

’Give me a break!’

The voice of the Angel echoed through the skies, reverberating off the shattered landscape.

’It’s not like you can defeat me! Stop pestering me!’

No matter how many times it crushed the human, he rose again.

And again.

"Why should I stop?"

The red-eyed human walked towards the countless pillars scattered across the battlefield. His naked feet left deep, bloody marks on the cracked land.

His long hair reached the ground.

His body was covered in scars. The injuries left by Void repeatedly ended up becoming permanent, not healing even with the revival.

’Just stop! I’m sick of you already!’

’Give me the Sacred Treasure and I’ll leave. Why do you even keep fighting? Your world is gone!’

Needless to say, Neo had no intention of following its request.

The ’him’ in the fourth vision of the Sphinx had given up.

He had sat inside a hut he had built in the dying world, writing a diary.

But Neo was different.

He never gave up.

Not even for a moment.

He fought relentlessly for centuries.

His body broke countless times, yet his spirit remained unbroken.

"Why do I keep fighting?" Neo asked.

His sword, which looked like a black offshoot of shadows, was plunged into the ground, crackling with dark energy.

"It took me two centuries to realize this, but there is a way to save everyone and defeat you."

’What is it?’ The Angel asked, its voice weary, yet still filled with venom.

"I just need to stay alive. As long as I’m alive, I’ll win."

…

Gap of Dimensions, Between Shadow World and Earth Dimension

Time between different dimensions wasn’t uniform.

While Neo had endured what felt like centuries, only a few seconds had passed for Jack. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}

However, Jack wasn’t aware of it.

"He is an Immortal?" Jack asked, his voice trembling with disbelief. "How will that save him?"

The words of the Gatekeeper, J #48, only deepened the feeling of despair clawing at his chest.

Her eyes seemed to pierce through him.

"Doesn’t that mean he will be tortured endlessly in that place?" he asked.

Despite her attempts to calm him earlier, Jack could no longer contain his emotions.

The truth of their circumstances was too despairing.

"It seems the Supreme has given us the permission to tell you the truth," J #48 said.

She looked at Jack with an unwavering gaze.

"The trial is still ongoing. Neo Hargraves staying behind is the only chance you have to clear the Shadow Trial?"

"What…?"

His heart skipped a beat.

Her words had caught his attention.

Jack raised his head and stared into her eyes.

Desperation flared in his chest.

"What do you mean by that?"
