Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 45

"Okay," Neo nodded. "Follow the plan."

"A plan?"

Suddenly, the crackled and Morrigan appeared next to them.

"You think your plan, whatever it might be, has a chance to work?"

Arthur reacted.

He fired a small lightning bolt.

Just as it was about to hit, Morrigan disappeared and reappeared at another place.

The other Zeus Clan members revealed themselves.

They surrounded Neo, Arthur, and Nathan.

'They were waiting for us,' Neo thought.

Arthur prepared his next attack.

Before he could do anything, Neo stopped him.

"Let me talk first."

He looked at Morrigan and spoke,

"We are not here to fight. Our friend has been kidnapped by some unscrupulous people. We are searching for him. Have you seen him anywhere?"

"Maybe, maybe not. Why should I tell you?"

"Fair enough."

Neo smiled when she answered back with his words.

Suddenly, Zoe, a member of Zeus Clan, stepped forward.

"Hey!"

Although, she tried to hide it, she looked anxious as if she wanted to prove herself.

"Speak with your heads down! You are talking to the people of Zeus Clan!"

She let her aura slip out.

The air crackled and the pressure descended on Neo and Arthur.

She grinned when she saw Arthur's pale complexion.

Suddenly, an aura, heavier than hers, appeared.

It covered the area like thick blanket.

Zoe felt as if she couldn't breathe.

She stared at Neo, the source of the aura, with wide eyes.

"W-what is that aura?"

The others realized something was wrong.

They thought Neo was stupid to choose Rank 1 token.

However, his dense aura of death shocked everyone.

It was almost tangible.

Arthur and Morrigan, while not bewildered, were still surprised.

The nine Zeus Clan members, except Morrigan, released their auras.

Their combined presence bore down on Neo.

Their expressions turned into an ugly grimace.

Neo, even if only for a moment, could resist them alone.

"You fucking bastard!"

They could not let such a shameful situation be broadcasted to their families and the world.

Their auras turned wild.

The massive presences charged at Neo's aura and tried to subdue it in one go.

Neo's sphere of presence shrunk.

Just as he was about to lose completely, he, for the first time, released his aura of darkness.

Instantly, his aura exploded and the Zeus Clan members' aura was pushed back.

The clash shook the trees and the shockwaves rippled as if a typhoon arrived.

"I'll ask again," Neo said. "Have you seen my friend?"

"Yeah, and we killed him!"

Zoe, unable to bear the defeat, charged.

Her attack was interrupted by Arthur.

"Do it!" He shouted.

Suddenly, the Divine Energy in the air moved. _{freewebnøvel.com}

They noticed Nathan at its source.

"Shadow Snare!"

The Spell required a long time to cast.

It should have been impossible to trigger it in front of the enemy.

However, due to the aura clash with Neo, they unconsciously ignored the weak presence of Nathan.

They were distracted and he successfully trigged the Spell right under their noses.

The shadows below Neo and Morrigan surged.

They climbed up their bodies.

"How about we settle this somewhere else?" Neo asked.

"Fine."

Morrigan didn't interrupt the teleportation.

There was no need to be cautious.

Neo's aura surprised her, but aura and actual strength were not always linked.

Anyone could tell Neo was weak by looking at his bruises and wounds from the battle against Nathan's Shadow Summons.

The two appeared over a tall cliff.

Morrigan scanned the surroundings.

"You should use the traps you've prepared."

"There aren't any."

Neo held his sword and dashed at her.

…

Arthur looked at the Zeus Clan members with a vigilant gaze.

He covered Nathan behind himself.

They prepared for battle until Lucas suddenly laughed.

He held his stomach.

"Hahahaha, crazy idiots, did your plan involve splitting us off from Morrigan?

"Did you think you could defeat her if she was alone?"

Since the remaining nine members were not teleported, it was clear Neo and Arthur planned to deal with Morrigan first.

The two probably thought it was better to eliminate the strongest opponent before dealing with others.

The Zeus Clan members stared at Arthur with mockery and pity.
