Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 527

Chapter 527 Tartarus VS Neo

Neo POV

Neo and Tartarus stood still.

Silence stretched between them.

Then, suddenly they moved.

Neo used All-Shadow and vanished into a shadow.

Tartarus' spear grew thousands of miles in an instant and drove into the space he'd just left.

Neo reappeared behind him, sword already mid-swing.

Sparks flew. Steel rang.

Tartarus spun, parried, and raised his palm.

A circle of distorted time expanded from him, freezing the cracking earth, and warping the clouds above.

Neo moved anyway. He slid into a nearby shadow.

He emerged on a cliff now shattered by their clash, stepped forward, and twisted space to appear back beside Tartarus.

They exchanged a thousands of blows in a breath. Each strike chipped away at the mountain they stood on. The cliffs crumbled into the ground.

Neither of them slowed.

Tartarus suddenly used the distorted orb of time again.

Time slowed.

The spear flew towards Neo.

Neo felt his Blessing drawing power from him, and activate.

Visions of future appeared before him.

In one future, his chest was pierced. In another, his throat slit. In a third, he deflected the strike and grazed Tartarus' side.

He used All-Shadow and vanished into that outcome, returning to the 'new present' in a blink.

His blade struck, and carved a shallow line across Tartarus' ribs.

Tartarus growled.

He thrust his spear down, and from it erupted spears made of shadows, each carrying the echo of fallen souls.

Neo leapt backward.

The spears followed.

He moved sideways into a shadow on the upturned land and emerged from one behind Tartarus, driving his sword forward, but the false false god had expected it after seeing the same move multiple times.

The spear twisted with unnatural motion, caught the edge of Neo's blade, and redirected it.

In an instant, the spear moved like a snake and aimed at Neo's throat.

Future visions reappeared.

Neo blinked, and time around him shifted again.

He was now seven steps to the left, mid-strike, sword crashing into the ground.

A fault line split open, swallowing a valley of cliffs.

Another fatal attack came, and future visions appeared again.

Neo used All-Shadow.

Now he was in the sky, surrounded by clouds torn apart by their energy.

Tartarus followed with a burst of light and shadow.

Neo used Gravity Concept to slam Tartarus back into the ground. The earth rumbled as Neo crushed a contentinent-sized mass of land.

He crushed it and condensed it before throwing it at Tartarus.

Tartarus hurled a sphere of light, one that was as strong as a condensed star.

It shot through the Neo's attack and pulverized it as it aimed straight for Neo.

Neo didn't dodge. He stepped into a shadow and appeared to Tartarus' side.

But the false god didn't need to see. He turned his shoulder, caught the blade, and countered with a blow that tore through the air.

Neo blocked it barely.

The force sent him crashing into a distant mountain valley. The mountain shattered, sending cliffs tumbling into the thousand-mile fissures that had appeared due to their battle.

Neo emerged from the ruins. His injuries were already healed.

He raised his sword, and slashed downwards, using the Seventh Stance of his Swordsmanship along with Death Sword powered by Death Sword Firmament.

But he didn't stop there.

He used Pseudo-Gap.

His blade froze for a second, before it split and came down at Tartarus from three directions.

The first blow came from the front. Tartarus parried. The second from a shadow to the left. Tartarus turned, raising his arm. The third sliced from above a beat later.

It landed. Tartarus stumbled. Blood fell.

"What….?"

Tartarus looked at the falling blood.

For a moment, the sky dimmed.

Tartarus could not move his gaze away.

He chose that one with All-Shadow. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}
