Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 347

The group exchanged wary glances.

Neo studied them for a moment before continuing.

"I’ll suppress my strength to peak Awakened Demigod.

"It’s a rank you all can defeat easily if you fight together."

As Neo spoke, a dark, oppressive energy began to emanate from him.

The grass at his feet wilted slightly, as if recoiling from the aura.

His aura surged like an invisible tidal wave.

He condensed his Death aura into a solid pendant and he tied it securely around his neck.

The pendant, dark as obsidian, glimmered faintly.

"If you guys can break this pendent before I take all of you down, you will win.

"Is that enough for a handicap?"

The groups expressions turned grim.

Even if Neo suppressed his stats, he was leagues beyond them.

His advantage in reaction speed, combat experience, stamina, and physical defense made him nigh undefeatable.

"Are you really planning to fight us?" Mars suddenly broke the silence.

"Why are you asking? Worried?"

"No," Mars replied with a wide grin. "I’m just excited."

Without warning, flames erupted around Mars.

The heat distorted the air.

The dry grass beneath him ignited, crackling loudly.

His body became a blur as he bolted toward Neo.

"It’s fine if we start now, right!?" Mars shouted.

"Yes."

Neo twisted his head just in time to dodge Mars’s blazing fist.

The strike whizzed past his cheek, leaving a faint scorch mark in the air.

Mars twisted mid-motion.

His arms moved like snakes as he attempted to grapple Neo into a chokehold.

It was a diversion and his aim was to steal the pendant.

Before Mars could complete the move, Neo’s fist shot forward and dove into Mars’s abdomen like a battering ram.

Mars’s body arched.

He flew backward like a ragdoll and crashed into the ground, skidding to a halt amidst the singed grass.

No one moved for a few seconds.

"What are you guys doing?"

Neo’s voice boomed. Continue reading at freewebnovel.com

It resonated with such force that the surrounding trees seemed to tremble.

"Mars created the perfect opportunity for you to attack me by surprise.

"Why didn’t you move?

"Are you guys waiting for me to tell you to attack?"

Neo’s glare made them flinch.

He always maintained a cold expression, rarely allowing even a faint smile to cross his face.

Despite his apathetic persona, he spoke to everyone politely.

This time, however, was different.

It was the first time anyone saw Neo furious.

The atmosphere grew suffocating as Neo’s bloodlust surged.

The wind seemed to die, leaving only an eerie stillness in the air.

"Haah."

Neo let out a disappointed sigh.

"Two of you are absolute geniuses, one can control time, one can control space, and another one has a True Soul Weapon," he said.

His cold gaze moved, landing on each of them in turn—Arthur, Mars, Sean, Clara, and Felix.

"I know this fight must be sudden, but try to fight, at least.

"Or are you guys hoping that the enemies you face in the future will always be within manageable levels?

"You…"

Neo abruptly stopped.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, fight like that," he said.

The sound of a sharp blade slicing through the air came without warning.

Neo stepped back just in time.

The sword missed him by inches and slashed through the spot where he had stood moments ago.

The air next to Neo distorted like ripples in a pond.

Arthur had been hiding, using his Air Mirage Spell to stay concealed.

A flicker of surprise crossed Arthur’s face as his sneak attack failed.

He had left a mirage clone to distract Neo while he prepared to strike from behind.

Arthur launched a flurry of attacks.

Meanwhile, Mars took advantage of the distraction.

He slammed his fist into the ground.

Massive flames erupted.

Walls of fire roared to life, engulfing the area.

The heat warped the air, and visibility plummeted as smoke curled around them.
