Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 575

Nameless Death POV

Nameless Death appeared inside a forest.

The sky was a deep shade of red.

The trees were black and rough, twisted like old bones, and their leaves shimmered in a sickly purple hue.

It was silent, far too silent for a place so vast and unnatural.

Nameless Death stood still beneath the crooked canopy with a calm expression.

"So I need to leave this place in 15,000 years?"

He focused, trying to sense everything around him.

The forest stretched endlessly, but it wasn't empty.

There were powerful beings in every direction. He could detect five extremely powerful beings within a radius of ten thousand kilometers.

He quickly cut off his senses when those monsters reacted.

Any longer, and they would've noticed him.

Ten thousand kilometers was barely anything for monsters like them.

It would take them less than a second to close that gap.

"I need to move before they come here to check what was looking at them."

He moved at high speed.

Since he had no techniques, he moved with pure physical might, and destroyed hundreds of miles in a split second before he realized what he had done.

He was then forced to run at a speed that did not harm to forest, or the monsters could track the destruction to him.

The scenery never changed as he ran.

No matter how far he went, it was the same black bark, purple leaves, and that oppressive red sky.

It began to wear on him, which was weird since something told him he was supposed to find Death comfortable.

He kept running for several minutes.

The scenery made him wonder if the whole Site was a forest, or if the forest itself simply spanned across unimaginable distances.

Eventually, he slowed down.

He paused beneath a broken tree, where the trunk was hollowed out and gnarled like a twisted horn.

He looked around, then up, and exhaled softly.

"They shouldn't be able to find me from this distance."

Now that immediate danger was off the table, it was time to focus. He sat on a large root and began piecing together the current situation.

"I need to leave this Site," he said to himself. "To do that, I need to reach its edge. Walking in a random direction is probably enough."

That part was simple. The hard part came next.

"But from what Dren said, I need to be peak Stage 4 to be strong enough to leave."

A frown settled on his face.

"Stage 4… he said the Berserker Death Elementals here would fuse into me and raise my existence level to that point."

His frown worsened.

The idea didn't sit well with him.

Losing his self, or allowing his own self to be distorted by merging it with others was the last thing he wanted.

He would rather grow stronger by himself, and fight his way out.

"I should check what I have left and can use to fight. There must be something…"

His voice grew smaller and smaller the more he looked.

Physical Body: Perfect condition. But at his current level, physical attacks barely worked against anyone worth fighting.

Soul: Strong. But what good was that when he had no soul techniques to use?

Core: Untouched. But since he was not a God, his Core was a useless decoration. It could not manifest into a the material plane (reality).

"Okay. No need to worry. I should have something…"

He closed his eyes and focused inward, entering the deeper structure of his being.

Seed of Existence.

The Outer Layer… was empty.

It had no techniques, concepts, enlightenments, or memories.

He checked the Inner Layer.

Nameless Death rubbed his brow. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}
