Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 424

Neo tried to use World Energy again, only for it to not respond.

The same was true for Obitus.

His blessings responded, but they were weakened.

He brought his palms close.

A tiny ball of lightning started to condense between them.

He compressed it to the limit.

The amount of Death being forced into the tiny point diistorted space.

Neo ignored the maggots eating him and kept his focus on the task.

He let the ball explode when it reached its maximum limit.

Thousands of large red lightning bolts erupted from the attack.

Everything in his vicinity was wiped out.

Neo used the chance and condensed another ball of Death, this time fusing his Concept into it.

He let it break.

The power of the Concept was much stronger than his normal attacks.

Lightning larger than planets crackled in the space.

It forced the maggots to sleep.

As if to say his attack was a joke, more maggots arrived.

Neo repeated his attacks, only for more maggots to arrive.

It did not matter how many were forced into eternal sleep.

Their numbers were endless.

Neo kept fighting without a break.

Time had long since become a blur to him.

Slowly, doubts started to creep into his mind.

Could he escape this place?

Would he be forced to live his nightmare eternally again?

Neo kept fighting the maggots without a break.

His mind slowly entered a trance.

The maggots, the emptiness.

They were gnawing at his heart.

He was being forced to relive his worst memories.

But.

Neo didn’t run.

He embraced those memories.

"So this is a [Nightmare]."

It felt like he was reaching an epiphany.

He had always known what a nightmare was.

They were dreams that showed one a horrible sight.

Though, living in this world showed him the true meaning of Nightmare.

It was Fear.

Neo’s limbs were trembling.

The nightmare was forcing him to look at his fear.

Age, experience, mental resilience.

Nothing could protect you from your fear.

Neo moved his body on instinct.

A black mist covered his hands.

He grabbed the fabric of the world and tore it.

The tear in the space was the size of a palm.

He could see pitch-black emptiness beyond.

There, no maggot existed.

Before Neo could enter that world, the torn space was stitched back.

The world of nightmare had healed on its own.

Neo looked at his hands.

He ignored the maggots attacking him and heightened his focus.

The power of Nightmares.

He was now capable of wielding it.

However, his mastery was too low to use and brute force his way out of this world.

He needed time to master the Nightmare Element.

Time he didn’t have.

There was only one other way.

Neo needed Fear, and use it to learn the Nightmare Element.

"I have the perfect place to take fear from."

He looked around at the maggots.

He was afraid of them, but the true reason for his fear was something else.

His memories of Eternity.

The seal on the memories made by his mother could be broken by a single thought of his.

Perhaps, she made it this way, predicting Neo would need the memories one day.

He dived into his mind.

His soul trembled at the thought of breaking the seal on his memories.

He grabbed it with a thought and crushed it.

Fear, desperation, and agony flooded in.

But there was something worse that the memories brought.

The loneliness.

The Emptiness.

His mind was being torn apart.

The terror of the eternity made him shake like a leaf, and the emptiness he learned from it consumed everything.

Emptiness was another name for Void.

There was no beginning or end.

Just Nothingness.

His goals, passions, emotions, memories, personality, body, will to live—everything was becoming one with Void(Emptiness).

He was losing it all.

"No… No…."

Neo desperately searched for something.

A goal.

A fixation.

Something that could overpower the Emptiness that was growing within him.

He forced his mind, frozen from fear, to move.

"Think…"

"Something…"

"I need…"

He manipulated Elizabeth into defeating the Temple of Void since he couldn’t do it with his own strength. _{freewebnøvel.com}
