Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 772

Chapter 772: Enlightenment

Neo’s POV

Neo looked down at Kevin.

His gaze shifted to Severant, then to the halberd and the greatsword floating around Kevin.

Both weapons gave off a heavy, unnatural pressure.

They weren’t normal.

They were Demons, just like Severant.

Neo could tell from the way the space around them twisted slightly.

And if they were Demons, they had Authorities.

Which ones, though?

He didn’t know.

A wave of World Energy erupted from Neo’s body.

He planned to swallow Kevin and pull him into his Cosmos.

He used to be cautious about who he brought inside.

Back then, a peak Stage 5 God could cause trouble inside his Cosmos.

But after seeing the memories of Ancient Dragons, those worries were gone.

’Hades will take care of it,’ Neo thought.

The version of Hades living in his Cosmos might only be an Intent, but that was enough.

That Intent was strong enough to suppress any Apostle or Stage 6 God that dared to act up inside.

Kevin spoke suddenly. "You shouldn’t get distracted during a fight."

The greatsword behind him thrust forward.

It hit Neo’s World Energy wave as if it were solid, and the entire wave froze for a second.

Neo’s eyes narrowed.

’That Demon can detect weaknesses and strike them directly. It’s a guaranteed hit Authority.’

But it didn’t matter much.

If the weakness wasn’t fatal, the Authority’s effect would be limited.

Neo’s World Energy froze for a moment, then started to surge again.

Kevin moved fast, swinging Severant.

The blade cut into the solidified World Energy, slicing it apart into so many pieces that Neo lost control of it.

Throughout that time, Neo didn’t counterattack.

Then, Kevin grabbed the halberd.

He swung it downward, and a wave of corruptive energy flew toward Neo.

Neo frowned.

The energy felt strange.

It wasn’t like the corruptive nature of the Void, which caused uncontrolled evolution.

This one destroyed from within.

It corroded everything in its path, even the concept of self.

Neo raised his hand and summoned a Black Sun in front of him.

Then, the space was folded, creating a small Independent Space around the explosion.

The two energies — of the corruptive Authority and Black Sun — collided.

A violent detonation filled the sealed space, but the Independent Space contained it.

Kevin didn’t stop. He

kept attacking from all directions.

The greatsword, the halberd, and even Severant moved with perfect rhythm.

The halberd released more corruptive slashes.

The greatsword spun and tore open small rifts in space, trying to trap Neo.

Severant followed, slashing through those openings, turning the rifts into blades of destruction.

Neo blocked one attack with Obitus, letting the blade sing.

Another attack was swallowed by a shadow barrier.

A third one disappeared into his Cosmos.

In a normal situation, facing three Demons and an Apostle at the same time could’ve been dangerous.

But Neo didn’t feel danger.

That was what bothered him.

He wasn’t tense. He wasn’t even slightly worried.

Why?

Was it confidence? Or arrogance?

He couldn’t tell.

But the thought didn’t leave his mind.

’Am I not taking this seriously because I know I can win?’

That didn’t feel right.

The Demons had Authorities.

He should’ve been more cautious.

’Wait... what are Authorities really?’ Neo thought.

From what he’d seen, Authorities were absolute powers that guaranteed certain outcomes.

For example, if a water mage and a fire mage fought, normally, the one with higher mastery would win.
