Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 36

"Fuck, if I'm here, might as well complete the task."

Neo rushed towards the burned bonfire.

The Gremlins in his path were pushed away. Their attacks did nothing against Ocean's Embrace.

He kicked the bonfire and a flag post was revealed.

'Thank god, it's actually here.'

If it wasn't, he might've really cried.

He pushed the flag into its place.

Nothing happened.

"It's done, right? Don't tell me I have to make sure the flag isn't pulled out—"

Neo's senses flared.

An attack from behind.

He raised his arm.

A sword sliced through the Ocean's Embrace and cut halfway into his arm.

When the blade stopped in the place, Neo smashed the elbow of his other hand into the Gremlin who stood behind him.

The Gremlin moved its head to dodge the attack.

It pulled back the sword and kicked Neo in the back.

Neo crashed into the heaps of burned bonfire.

Before he could move, the Gremlin jumped on top of him and stabbed the sword at his heart.

'An evolved Gremlin?'

It was bigger than others, almost the same size as Neo, and had defined muscles.

Neo was not its match in physical contest.

Nevertheless, Neo grabbed the blade before it pierced him.

Ocean's Embrace saved his fingers from being sliced off.

The Gremlin grunted.

It increased the strength and tried to push the blade.

Before the Spell could be breached again, Neo kicked its shin.

The attack threw it off balance and Neo broke its neck with three stack of Necrotic touch.

Neo could only see Gremlins everywhere he turned.

They weren't a threat individually, but even an elephant would fall against an ocean of ants.

Neo tried to dash out of the encirclement.

He didn't think.

There was no time to waste.

He had to escape before the hundreds of Gremlins returned.

The Gremlins attacked as if they didn't care about their life. They tried to stop him even just for a second.

When Neo was confused by their vigor, they suddenly threw ropes around him.

…!

'These fuckers, they are used to fighting someone stronger than them.'

Neo grabbed the ropes and pulled with a snap.

Unfortunately, multiple evolved held the ends of the ropes.

It was the end of the rope for him.

Neo could not escape.

Desperate, he used Necrotic Touch to shatter his left hand tied by the rope.

The pain sent throws of agony across his mind.

But.

He had no choice.

The encirclement was stable because it was being pulled from all sides.

When one of the ropes got cut, the encirclement lost its stability.

Neo crouched and dashed into the group of nearest Gremlins.

He used Necrotic Touch to finish the evolved Gremlin that jumped out.

His Divine Energy was about to hit rock bottom.

The anemia was making him feel as if he was about to die.

A sword stabbed into his back and he realized the Ocean's Embrace had worn off. He could not maintain it any longer.

The Gremlins pounced on him.

A heavy blow to his head threw him to the ground.

He tried to use Necrotic Touch but failed.

At the same time, he felt pain in his legs. His bones were being crushed and his flesh was torn apart.

Neo didn't stop fighting.

'Just a bit more!'

He released his aura of death.

The Gremlins, residents of Underworld, were not affected in the least.

However, they shrieked when Neo used the Darkness element.

The groups of monsters feeding on his body backed away.
