Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 308

’Y… ess…’

A healing power, much stronger than before, burst forth from within Daniel.

A radiant golden energy surged through his body.

His heart regrew, followed by lungs, organs, muscles, and skin.

Each cell knitted back together with glowing threads of light.

"Activate Overclock!"

[Overclock Lv7 activated.]

[Host’s stats will be enhanced by 7 times for 20 minutes.]

Chrybdis’ surprise only increased when a red aura materialized around Daniel, crackling with raw, unstable energy.

"Iai slash!"

Daniel returned his sword to its sheath.

The world seemed to slow as he drew the blade in a single, fluid motion.

The steel sliced through the air cleanly.

The blade landed on Chrybdis’ body and—

It shattered.

The fragments scattered like shards of glass, unable to break through the defenses of the Sovereign of Winds.

A barrier of wind rippled where the strike had landed, completely unscathed.

Daniel was stunned.

Yet, he quickly regained his calm.

He used the momentum of the slash to spin on his foot.

He twisted, aiming to land a kick on Chrybdis, but his body failed him.

His strength gave out, and he collapsed headfirst into the dirt.

’What…?’

No matter what Daniel did, he couldn’t move.

The weight of exhaustion pressed down on his body like chains, pinning him to the ground.

His eyes started to droop.

’Don’t fall asleep here… Not now…’

Having used two Healing Slips, Overclock, and the Iai Slash—all of which drained energy from his core—he had emptied himself completely.

He couldn’t move anymore.

His trembling fingers twitched feebly, and his breathing slowed.

"Oya, exhausted already?"

Chrybdis grinned

"Seems like you were using some kind of forbidden incantation to heal yourself, and now it backfired on you."

The Sovereign of Winds lost interest in Daniel.

Self destructive abilites were nothing special.

He was about to stomp Daniel’s head into a pulp.

But he stopped when he felt a chill crawl up his spine.

An intense sense of bloodlust was locked on Charybdis, thick enough to make the air feel heavy.

The Sovereign swiftly looked around, searching for the source of the bloodlust.

The bloodlust was enough to make Charybdis tremble.

Clearly, it’s owner could defeat him easily.

’Is it an SSS rank awakener? Kronos? What is he doing here?’

’He must be after Child of Mana too.’

When he failed to find the source of bloodlust, he swiftly ran away before whoever was radiating the bloodlust could kill Charybdis.

"Sto…"

Daniel could only look at the monster as it took away his sister.

[Main Quest failed]

Moments later, Daniel lost consciousness.

Neo, who had been the source of the bloodlust, could only sigh.

He could’ve taken over Daniel’s body to rescue Selene, but he did not do it.

The ball of Intent had techniques but no energy source to use them.

Neo would’ve been forced to use Daniel’s mana. _{freёwebnovel.com}

The strain would’ve killed Daniel before Neo could use even one technique.

Even if Neo killed Charybdis at cost of Daniel’s life, it would’ve been useless.

Typhaon would keep sending more monsters if Charybdis failed today.

In other words, Neo had always known the Child of Mana would be kidnapped today.

And they had no way to stop it.

Although he had been strengthening Daniel, the speed wasn’t good enough.

’Selene was kidnapped exactly when Jack and I arrived in this world.’

’That means we have 8 hours to rescue her before Typhaon takes over her mind.’

Neo clicked his tongue.

It was impossible to save the Child of Mana now.

’Jack and I won’t come to this timeline either.’

’Jack already left the Shadow World, and I’m here.’

Since only one timeline could exist at one point in time, only one person could exist at any one point in time.

It meant something like future Neo and present Neo meeting would never happen.

If future Neo came to the past, either the actual Neo of the past would be erased, or the future Neo would take over the body of the past Neo.

This meant, Neo had only Daniel to make use of.
