Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 84

Red lightning and black flames materialized around the sword.

He slashed in a wide arc before the ghosts could run or attack.

The trees at the end of area suddenly dried up and died.

Screeching wails of the ghosts echoed.

Their presences disappeared a beat later.

Neo gasped for breath, and sat on the ground.

"My condition is better than the previous time I used Aura Slash.

"But I'm still fucked if there is another ghost."

While his limbs no longer trembled and he didn't feel like dying after just one Aura Slash, it didn't change the fact his Divine Energy reserves were back to 1/10 of their total.

Neo waited.

He spread his sense wide to locate another ghost.

There was nothing…

He let out a sigh and used Essence Breath Spell to speed up his recovery.

Jack woke up with a groan.

"What happened… Neo, are you okay!?"

Blood poured out non-stop from Neo's back and his shoulder had an ugly injury.

He looked like he had a step inside the grave.

"I've seen better days," Neo smiled.

He wasn't joking.

The only worrisome fact about the wounds was they were made from Death Aura infused attacks.

They wouldn't heal unless healers used purification on him.

Neo, however, as a Death wielder could suppress the Death Aura lingering on his injuries and remove it with time.

As long as he removed the Death Aura, his super healing would do the job.

In short, he was perfectly fine.

"What about the ghosts? Is there anyone left?" Neo asked.

"No, the reason I woke up was because their presences disappeared."

"Good job. Go to the janitor and report the mission's completion. I'll try to recover in the meantime."

Jack didn't look enthused to leave Neo alone given his grievous injuries.

However, Neo's nonchalance forced him to follow his words.

While Neo was focusing on removing the Death Aura and recovering his Divine Energy, Paimon opened her mouth.

"I've been curious about something.

"How can your Spirit wield more than one element? It should be impossible."

"I don't know myself."

Neo lied as naturally as he breathed.

He was worried Paimon would destroy Obitus if she knew the sword's origin.

The former Grim Reaper noticed his lie rather easily.

"Worry not.

"I won't do anything just because it displeases me.

"If I did, I would've killed your friend and every Necromancer out there."

Neo felt his scalp go numb.

Because he knew she had the ability to follow up on her words.

Paimon was strong.

She could kill others or spare them on whim.

It was one of the reasons why Neo pursed strength.

He didn't want to let others decide his fate.

Jack returned.

He brought plain glasses with him.

They, the rewards of the mission, could provide the wearer Wind elemental vision.

"You can have them. I barely did anything in this mission."

"Okay."

Neo wasn't the one to refuse free gifts.

He pocketed the glasses for later.

The two left the Aurelia block.

They crashed into the cafeteria and ordered food.

Morrigan was, once again, eating piles of bread.
