Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 362

"He was the one protecting the World Core when you attacked Earth?" Neo asked, surprised.

’Yes.’

"That means, he is on our side—"

’Not after you revealed me to him, fucker!’

Before Neo could say anything, he saw the man.

He was surrounded by hundreds of thousand-eyed pillars.

They rained him with countless mental attacks.

Maggots the size of fists writhed and crawled as they tried to tear his skin apart.

Not a single attack touched the man.

It was as if they were stopped by an invisible barrier surrounding his body.

The man turned to Neo, his smile gone.

"Why are you working with an Angel of an Outer?"

"I don’t see the need to answer you—"

"I asked you a question, Neo Hargraves!"

His voice exploded like a thunderclap, creating shockwaves.

The wreckages of Earth—broken chunks of stone, shattered steel, and dying flames—were scattered further by the force.

The thousand-eyed pillars and the writhing maggots burst apart like overfilled balloons.

Neo felt as if he were standing in the eye of a hurricane.

His skin began to peel in thin, stinging strips, and the man’s enormous pressure bore down on him like a mountain.

"Answer me."

In an instant, the man appeared before Neo. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}

His speed was overwhelming.

Before Neo could react, the man’s greatsword pierced through his chest, pinning him to the cracked, blood-soaked ground.

"You want an answer?" Neo asked.

Blood bubbled from his lips as he coughed violently.

Still, he grinned.

"Then make me answer you."

The man’s anger momentarily dissipated when Neo used his words against him.

He raised his sword to strike again when suddenly Neo’s body dissolved into shimmering particles of light.

"Intent?" the man muttered, his brows furrowing in disbelief. "He can make a physical clone with Intent already?"

"Don’t be surprised just yet."

The man’s head whipped around at the sound of Neo’s voice.

Hundreds of Neo’s clones surrounded him.

"That’s quite the number of clones" the man commented.

Neo shrugged, maintaining his silence.

He could create only one clone if it was to be as strong as himself.

On other hand, he could create countless weaker ones.

"What are you trying to do?" the man asked.

"Did you forget what I said?" the clones spoke in unison. "If you want an answer, then make me answer you."

As soon as Neo uttered those words, a screen appeared before his eyes.

[Hidden Conditions met]

[Quest ’Survive’ will be upgraded to Quest ’Challenging the Insurmountable’]

[Details: Successfully land an attack on ???]

[Reward ’Absolute Chaos World Core Condensation Technique’ will be upgraded to ’Primordial World Core Condensation Technique.’]

There was no time to read the screens.

The clones rushed at the man from all sides.

Seeing their fervor, the man’s anger dissipated, replaced by a resounding laugh that echoed across the wasteland.

Shockwaves created by his laughter tore through the air, killing several clones instantly. Their forms disintegrated like dust in the wind.

"That way of talking, you really are that bastard’s son."

"You aren’t the one to talk, Duke Bael!"

Countless sword attacks flashed from every direction.

Grinning, Bael gripped his massive sword with both hands.

His muscles tensed, and an immense aura exploded from his body like a tidal wave.

The force alone caused the cracked earth to split further, sending tremors through the battlefield.

His slash tore apart everything around him in a blinding arc of destruction.

"How did you know who I was?" Bael asked, his voice calm but laced with curiosity as another wave of clones appeared.

"Your Intent is the same as the [All-Seeing Eye] that hangs in the sky."

The new wave of clones rushed at Bael again.
