Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 47

Orbs of lightning floated behind Morrigan.

Electrical discharge shot out of them.

Neo used the Ocean's Embrace before the attack hit him.

His senses flared.

He dodged the ones he could dodge and twisted his body to avoid the fatal hits.

A grunt escaped his lips.

Morrigan frowned when she saw him relatively unharmed.

"How are you standing?"

The attack should've been enough to deal with him.

Neo's defence couldn't be credited to the Spell alone.

"Your Mana Purity is higher than mine," she said. "That's why you are so sturdy."

Her frown worsened.

Even if his Purity was high, his total Divine Energy was nothing compared to her.

She could tire him out Neo to defeat him.

However, it wasn't her style.

"There is no shield that won't break."

The faint noise of a thunderbolt reverberated.

Morrigan disappeared.

Neo barely had time to raise the sword.

A heavy blow struck his blade.

He saw Morrigan's figure for a split second before she disappeared again and the air crackled.

Neo twisted his hand to block the attack coming from behind.

The air crackled again.

His senses calmed down.

Morrigan appeared far from his location.

She stared at him with a tight frown.

'She is irritated,' Neo thought bitterly. 'I guess she hates how her attacks failed twice.'

The simple blows rattled his bones and his muscles were nearly torn apart.

He couldn't help but feel he was royally fucked.

'How high is her Grade? Grade 2 or Grade 1?'

Morrigan took a step.

She appeared before him in an instant and brought her sword down.

Neo swung his blade.

The clash created shockwaves.

Morrigan's eyes glowed.

The world slowed down for her, and she continued to move at normal pace.

Neo responded to her attack in slow motion.

He let the non-lethal attacks land on the Ocean's Embrace while he diverted her strong attacks by a hair breadth.

'He is ignoring the feints,' Morrigan thought.

It was as if Neo knew which attack would take him out of the fight and he dodged only those.

His Death Affinity was working wonders, not that Morrigan knew.

Sparks flew in the air.

From a bystander point of view, their sword clashed hundred of times in a few seconds.

Cuts appeared on Neo's body and blood began to pool beneath his feet.

It was wrong.

He wasn't going down as easily as she had thought.

Morrigan didn't want to use Spells, not against a weaker opponent.

It would sully her name.

But…

"That's it. I'm done holding back," Morrigan said.

She kicked Neo in the stomach.

The blow, swift, strong, and precise, knocked air out his lungs and threw him back.

His body rolled in the dirt.

He stabbed the sword into the ground to stop himself.

Suddenly, he twisted his head and a lightning spear whizzed past his cheek.

The attack flew behind him before it exploded.

Lightning shrapnel dug into Neo's back.

He ignored the pain and made a hand sign.

"Darkness!"

The shadows beneath his feet slithered.

"Heed my call!"

They shot forward, coiling and twisting like snakes.

Black lines appeared on the ground.

They circled Morrigan and suddenly flew out, and formed a dome.

Neo changed his hand signs as soon as Morrigan was captured inside the Darkness domain.

"Devour!"

The dome of darkness shrunk rapidly.

In midst of his attack, Neo heard a fleeting whisper.

"Render."
