Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 68

Neo took a deep breath.

He waited for his emotions to calm down before starting again.

The Darkness devoured the monsters.

He ate a small amount.

The voices screeched inside his head.

It felt like his mind was torn apart hundreds of times and each piece was forced to listen to a different jarring voice.

Black blood, tainted by Darkness, dripped from his eyes.

Neo tried to rein the rampaging Darkness.

Phantom pain surged through his body.

Hallucinations of his deaths appeared in front of his eyes.

Neo bit his tongue.

He hoped the pain would help him hold onto his sanity.

"Darkness… Devour…"

He moved to another set of corpses.

Thousands of images appeared inside his head.

The lives of Gremlins, their feasts, their traditions of consuming their kin, the memories of the preys they devoured.

Everything was inserted into his head in a split second.

Neo felt his head split. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

"Ahh… argh… uhhgg…"

He groaned.

His body stiffened.

His eyes turned pitch-black and he frothed from the mouth.

Neo lost control over the Darkness.

It climbed his feet and wrapped around his body like a cocoon.

The shadows, limited in range by Neo, suddenly spread far out and covered the entire Gremlin camp.

Neo tried to stop it.

But.

He failed.

The Darkness began to devour the hundreds of Gremlins at once.

Neo screamed.

He dug his nails into his face and doubled over.

No matter how much he tried, the Darkness did not let go of its hold over him.

It pulled him into the abyss of insanity.

Slowly.

Mercilessly.

Relentlessly.

Neo could not resist.

The Darkness was overwhelming.

He felt he was falling into an endless pit.

The pain did not help.

Just when he thought it was over for him, he heard a voice.

Don't…. give… up!

Remember… your vow…!

Obitus spoke to him.

A black light flew towards him in the endless sea of darkness.

Win… you have to reach… the Zenith…

Even if you have to die…

"I... will win."

Neo felt as if he reached an epiphany.

He stopped resisting the darkness.

He no longer tried to halt the flow of the endless darkness.

Instead, he molded its flow.

He let the Darkness devour.

Not himself.

Not the monsters.

Itself.

He used the Darkness to devour the Darkness.

The Darkness grew frenzied and tried to retaliate.

But.
