Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 82

The Salamander Queen Bee suddenly stopped breathing.

Its wings no longer moved and it fell out of the air.

The corpse exploded after it fell for a few seconds.

The shockwaves of the explosion hit Neo with powerful intensity.

"I was really dead if that thing attacked me."

Neo filled his backpack with honey and quickly started descending.

Using Aura of Darkness for too long was draining.

It was nighttime when he reached the ground.

"You are back!"

Jack's face lit up.

The workers of the Apiary were waiting for him.

Neo threw away the suit as soon as stepped on the cold hard earth.

He didn't care if he was half naked or about the gazes of others.

"Finally…"

He took a deep breath.

The freezing air cooled him down.

"These are your clothes," Joana came to him with a flushed face.

"Can I have a shower before that?"

"Yes, of course."

She maintained her professional attitude despite the scene before her eyes.

Neo noticed her gaze moving to his lower half but he was too exhausted to care about anything.

After returning from the shower, he crashed on the chair next to Jack.

Both of them sat under the moonlight in silence.

"You are quite bold. I didn't expect you to get naked as soon as you completed the job."

Jack chuckled.

He was no longer a nervous mess.

"There are quite a few young ladies working at the shop. How do you think they will react now?"

"You think I give a fuck about what others think?"

Neo noticed some of the girls peeking at them from the window.

He pursed his lips.

"You should try to wear that suit under the sun and see if you don't get cooked."

"Hahaha, I'm sorry. I wasn't blaming you."

"Anyway, where is the Salamander Queen Bee corpse?"

"Why? Are you thinking of —"

"Yeah, I'll devour it while the Apiary prepares our rewards."

Jack stopped smiling.

It was known to everyone how the users of Darkness ended.

Insane and corrupted.

Not a single Darkness user was spared from the wretched fate.

He wanted to advice Neo against it.

However, it was clear Neo wouldn't listen to him.

"Come with me. They said we could take the corpse since we hunted it and stored it for us."

Neo followed him.

They found the Salamander Queen Bee's corpse inside another shed deep into the forest.

"Want to watch the process? It will help you with your element." Neo questioned.

"No, I'm okay. I'll wait for you outside."

Jack closed the doors and left.

Alone, Neo inspected the corpse.

"It didn't die from the explosion, but from the Aura Snipe."

If Neo had not killed it, the Salamander Queen Bee could've bombarded him with multiple explosions.

He once again realized how close he was to dying.

"It's too late to be afraid of death."

He chuckled and formed the hand signs.

"Darkness… Devour."

The shadows bloomed.

And the noises returned.

It was unpleasant.

He couldn't get used to it no matter how many times he did it.
