Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 65

The monster, twice the size of Neo, held a staff in its hand.

"Found you."

The corner of Neo's lips rose.

He formed the hand sign.

"Darkness, come."

The shadows expanded like a blooming flower.

They formed a dome, trapping Neo and the Great Gremlin inside.

"Kirriririr?"

The Great Gremlin realized something was wrong.

The prey that should've been scared, trembling in his boots, injured and unable to fight back, was looking down at it.

The Great Gremlin's instincts warned it.

It raised its staff and chanted Spells in its own language.

Multiple small icicles formed behind it.

Neo didn't run.

He didn't try to cover the distance between the Great Gremlin and himself.

He raised his sword above his head.

He burned his God Blood and infused his Divine Energy with Death element.

Red lightning materialized around his blade.

"Kiririr!!"

The Great Gremlin attacked.

The icicles pierced Neo's limbs.

Blood poured out of his injuries.

His arms shook and he could barely stand straight.

However, his gaze remained firm.

The red lightning flared like a great bonfire.

Neo compressed Darkness alongside Death inside his core.

Wisps of black flame flickered on his blade.

"Kiriririr!!!"

The Great Gremlin realized it was in danger.

It tried to run only to be blocked by the Coffin of Darkness.

The monster attacked when suddenly—

Neo slashed.

Nothing happened.

The Great Gremlin chanted a fireball Spell.

It thought Neo's attack failed when Neo puked blood and fell to his knees.

Finally, the human lowered his gaze.

It was about to attack when it stopped moving.

A red line, running from the top of its head to the base of its stomach, appeared on its body.

The monster split into two vertical halves.

"Huff! Huff!"

Neo couldn't maintain the Coffin of Darkness anymore.

The Darkness returned to his shadow.

He won.

But.

There was no time to rest or bask in the glory of victory.

When the Coffin of Darkness disappeared, the surviving Gremlins surrounded Neo.

They stared at the corpse of the Great Gremlin, fear evident in their eyes, and didn't approach Neo instantly.

'These fuckers… They are waiting for me to die from exhaustion…'

Neo bit his lips.

The pain brought clarity to his mind.

He used his sword as support to stand.

His blood trickled out.

And…

It lured the Gremlins.

The monsters tried to act sanely and waited until Neo could not move.

However, a single brave, greedy Gremlin gulped.

It rushed towards Neo, intoxicated by the smell of Neo's blood.

Not wanting to lose their prey, the horde of Gremlins followed after the first one.

Neo smiled bitterly.

He grabbed his sword and prepared to fight.

He could use Immortal and run away to the world of living.

But.

He vowed.

Today, he would win…

Even if he had to die.

He didn't want to feel the sense of defeat he felt last time.

He would rather die than become a loser.

The first Gremlin reached Neo.

It pounced on him and sunk its teeth into his shoulder.

Neo snapped its neck with one hand.

The next Gremlin arrived.

He bashed its head with the sword.
