Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 412

’We will help you, but the return will not be instantaneous, and it will be filled with dangers.’

Neo nodded, having expected this answer.

Talking to Elementals and having them manifest their powers for his use cost him mental energy.

Movement between dimensions would cost even more—draining him to his limits.

Neo would have to take breaks on the way back to recover.

It would take time.

He might also encounter a powerful enemy while he was resting. Hence, it was dangerous.

"Thank you for explaining everything."

’It was nothing.’

The silver motes flickered one last time before disappearing.

Neo stood still, contemplating the words Space had left behind.

His eyes shifted to his surroundings.

Above, a sun—Sunshine—floated in the air, casting a bright radiance over the battlefield.

It was probably night, given how the original sun of Tartarus had disappeared, leaving only Sunshine behind.

A voice rang out, breaking the silence.

"I’ve been dying for seven hours!" Percival’s voice boomed, filled with frustration. "Seven hours! I’m dying! Dying! And dying!"

Percival grabbed handle of his massive warhammer.

His muscles tensed, veins bulging as his patience snapped.

"I’m done playing nice!"

With a roar, he surged forward at high speed.

Before Dorothy—the ostrich—even appeared, he swung his giant hammer toward the empty space on his left.

The force of the swing sent shockwaves rippling through the air, distorting the space around him.

He couldn’t sense the ostriches.

The reason he attacked was his battle instincts. It told him that was where Dorothy would appear.

His attack was perfect.

As a Seraph, he had lived multiple lives and stacked battle experience from countless battles.

It came as no surprise that he struck the exact spot where Dorothy was about to emerge.

But…

"Huh?"

The ostrich suddenly teleported.

No.

It didn’t teleport. The Space Elementals never moved. Percival was sure of it since he had been keeping an eye on the Space.

Yet, the ostrich moved from his left to right instantaneously.

"How? The Space Elementals did not show any sign—"

Before he could complete his words, Dorothy delivered a quick stab to his head.

Pain exploded in his skull, and his vision darkened.

He was dead.

A few seconds later, instead of resuming his mindless charge, Percival sat down at the starting point.

His expression said he was contemplating over something.

"Why did you stop?" Neo questioned.

"I need to change my approach. This isn’t helping."

After the last skirmish, Percival had grown confident he could defeat Dorothy.

The ostriches were fast, but they were neither strong nor durable.

Earlier, he could have used his hammer to bash Dorothy’s face in.

But he didn’t.

’There are two more ostriches. I’m sure they are faster than Dorothy. I would’ve been stopped even if I defeated Dorothy.’

Reading Percival’s thoughts cleared Neo’s doubts.
