Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 50

Neo let out a smile.

"Oh? So… how…. about this? The one who… sleeps first… would lose…"

They had to stay awake no matter what.

Falling unconsciousness in their state would kill them.

"Hey, princess, why aren't you… saying anything?"

Neo burned his energy to talk.

He kept asking her questions, taunting her, making sure she would respond and not fall asleep.

There was no deep reason behind his actions.

After surviving for days together, he didn't want her to die.

Neo felt it.

He was close to his limit.

Death was just around the corner.

For her and for him.

Suddenly, he heard a chime.

[Quest completed]

[Essence Breath Spell acquired.]

[Immortal Exp +50]

[Grade 5 Immortal has been mastered.]

[Initiating upgrade…]

Neo screamed.

He clutched his heart and bled from his orifices.

He lacked Divine Energy for the rank up.

His body began to eat itself to compensate for it.

He felt like he was being stabbed with thousands of needle.

Neo tried his best to stop his rank up.

Suddenly, the pain stopped.

[Insufficient energy.]

[Temporarily stopping the upgrade.]

Neo sighed in relief.

The pain washed away all sleepiness.

It, however, weakened him.

Neo chuckled.

He was at death's doorstep.

But.

The Quest confirmed it.

The tournament finished.

Neo won...

He won!

An unfamiliar presence appeared inside the cave while he was high from dopamine.

"Hahaha, you are laughing in that state?"

The man, half-horse and half-human, picked him up carefully.

"I guess you need to be that crazy to challenge the Great God Clans."

He returned Obitus to the barely conscious Neo and smiled.

"Congratulations, kid.

"You are the victor of the 526th ranking tournament. Rejoice, today, you've made history."

Sarnie Maze

Beneath Mountain Columbus

Elizabeth moved through the maze.

Her heels clacked against the broken tiles.

The walls on the sides were painted with murals.

They spoke of the future, of an age where the gods disappeared, and a world heading to its doom.

She reached giant door.

They creaked when she pushed them.

Waves of thick Divine Energy hit her when she stepped into the room.

A trident, made of blue ethereal metal, floated in the centre, chained.

It leaked Divine Energy strong enough to obliterate weaker demigods as soon as they got close.

Elizabeth held the trident.

The chains snapped.

Otherworldly power flowed into her body through the trident.

It rampaged.

The Divine Energy inside the room went berserk.

Cracks appeared on the floor and the pillars supporting the roof shook.

"Stop."

The Divine Energy calmed with Elizabeth's one command.

After claiming the trident, she looked at the final murals at the roof.

They showed the tale of four horsemen…

Death, the first horseman, rode the red horse.

Conquest, the second horseman, rode the white horse.

Famine, the third horseman, rode the purple horse.
