Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 72

"I'm… I'm okay."

He bit his lips.

The pain increased over time.

He started to hear voices.

HefoundUsWeFAILEDwefaiLEDheNOticEduSHenoTicEDHenOticEd.

The noise of Darkness grew louder and louder.

Neo tried to suppress the screams.

The Status Screen glitched.

It shook.

The noises grew chaotic.

He maintained his focus on the Status Screen.

And.

It changed.

[One stacks of Immortal left]

[Time until +1 stack: 16 hours and 15 minutes.]

From two to one.

The noises disappeared.

Neo was left gasping for breath.

His clothes were drenched with sweat.

He raised his eyes and looked at Charlotte.

"The… aura of… darkness… I was releasing…. Do I still have… it?"

"It disappeared just now."

Her answer horrified Neo.

He had been, since the moment he stepped on the mountain, under the illusion of Darkness.

Had he killed himself twice, thinking he had 2 stacks left, when in truth, he had only one stack remaining….

Neo took deep breaths to calm himself.

It took him a few minutes.

"I'm sorry for acting weirdly," he said.

"Have you calmed down?" Charlotte asked.

"Yes."

"Can you tell me what happened?"

"I was under the influence of Darkness until now."

"I see." Charlotte's gaze sharpened. "Back to the topic, how did your masteries increase?"

Paimon spoke before Neo could.

"The matters of the Underworld cannot be revealed to the souls of living."

Charlotte and Elizabeth turned to Paimon.

…They could see her.

"You were the reason he died a Spiritual Death?" Elizabeth asked.

"Partially, yes."

Elizabeth clicked her tongue.

And.

Paimon's body suddenly exploded.

Neo was left stunned.

"Why did you do that?"

"Because she made me angry."

Elizabeth ignored Neo's trepidation and looked him in the eye.

"Did she threaten you when you visited the Underworld—"

"Oh my, we have a feisty child here."

Paimon appeared on Neo's other shoulder.

"What would you have done if I was really threatening Neo? Attacking me suddenly will put him in danger if you can't defeat me in one attack—"

Elizabeth clenched her fist.

A small black hole appeared over Paimon's navel.

It sucked her body inside itself.

"I just need to kill you in one attack."

"You can't kill what isn't alive."

The skeleton doll appeared above Neo's head.

It was as if she was always there.

Paimon smiled.

"Child, you need to think before you act. Or your actions will be the death of you one day."

Elizabeth's eyebrow twitched.

She was about to attack again until Charlotte called her out.

"Eliz, stop."

Charlotte's word made Elizabeth turn to her.

"We need to think calmly before doing anything. That being is from Underworld."

Her words changed nothing.

Elizabeth was still raring to go.

She suddenly looked at Neo, realizing he would be caught up if they fought without holding back, and returned to her seat with a fiery gaze.

"Thank you for stopping.

"Before you misunderstand, all of my actions were done upon Neo's request," Paimon explained.

"He asked to be killed?" Elizabeth questioned.

"No, and I didn't kill him either.
