Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 301

Professor Daniel’s expression contorted.

His eyes were filled with grief and pain.

What had Neo gone through for him to say he was fine with those injuries?

"There is a lot I would like to say, but I guess time’s up," Neo said. "We’ll meet next time."

The world around Professor Daniel shifted.

When he could see again, he saw Neo surrounded by countless writhing maggots and towering, thousand-eyed pillars.

Every time the scene changed, Professor Daniel only saw Neo fighting.

He could guess a few hundred years passed every time he ’blinked’—the name of the phenomenon where scene around him changed again and again.

He saw Neo go from barely fighting against the maggots to being able to clash against them as an equal.

The scene shifted once more.

Neo was now breathing heavily.

He sat atop the gigantic, twitching corpse of the maggot.

A part of his abdomen was missing.

He was focused on treating his own injury with shaky hands.

"Long time no see," Neo said when he noticed Professor Daniel.

His voice was hoarse and his smile faint yet serene.

But Professor Daniel could see the loneliness in his eyes.

There was no way he was sane after being alone for centuries.

Neo walked up to Professor Daniel.

His movements were slow, burdened by pain and exhaustion.

He pressed his forefinger on Professor Daniel’s forehead, and a surge of energy flowed between them as he transferred his Intent.

The Intent was imbued with vast knowledge.

Professor Daniel saw fragments of Neo’s memories—how he had come to the Shadow World, how they had failed to protect the Child of Mana, how everything was destroyed by the Angel, and how Neo had become the last living human.

"Take your time to go through the information. We’ll talk next time we meet," Neo said.

The scenery shifted again.

Professor Daniel’s surroundings melted back into the void.

His ability was to see fragments of someone’s future

To be exact, his soul would appear in the future and observe the target for a short moment.

Then it would go farther into the future, observe again.

Then, it would go even farther and observe again.

It would keep repeating for several cycles.

When the skill ended, Professor Daniel’s soul would be pulled back into his body.

He couldn’t control the duration of the ’observation period.’

As a result, the scene kept changing before he could fully understand Neo’s situation.

The visions ’blinked’ too quickly.

Thankfully, Neo used Intent to bring him up to speed.

Professor Daniel appeared in a barren land.

The soil was cracked and lifeless beneath his feet.

Melted rocks filled with purple cracks jutted out from the ground, and a pale mist lingered in the air.

When the distortion around him calmed down, he saw Neo fighting once more.

He was now capable of pushing back the sea of maggots and the thousand-eyed pillars.

As long as he could keep growing stronger at this pace, he could one day reclaim Earth from the Angel.
