Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades

Selene stood up.

With a swift thrust, she pierced Mad Hound\'s head.

The werewolf continued to stare at Neo until the end with greed.

Neo destroyed his body with Death element after he died.

He made sure no one could devour Mad Hound\'s corpse and let him escape from True Darkness.

"Thank you."

Selene lowered her head.

"I could get my revenge only because of…."

She choked up.

She finally avenged her friends.

Neo patted her back.

She tried to hold back her tears, and spoke,

"I… I\'m fine. I\'ll take you to the place."

"There is something I need you to do before that."

Neo brought her to the unconscious Gwen.

"She is…?"

"The Zeus Clan\'s soul working under Mad Hound. I want you to take care of her after she wakes up."

"Wouldn\'t she try to fight me?"

"She will. That\'s why you need to deal with her without harming her.

"Just say that you saved her from me.

"If she doesn\'t listen to you, tell her some random bullshit about you wanting revenge against me and you saved her because you saw yourself in her or something.

"I\'m sure she\'ll follow you after that."

Selene didn\'t ask why Neo wanted to help the girl, or why the girl wanted to kill Neo.

She owned him and was prepared to do whatever he demanded.

"Makes sure she doesn\'t die or fall to the corruption."

After understanding the power of the blessing, Neo was torn between the choices.

Was it really correct to revive Gwen and others?

In the Underworld, their lives would be judged and they would receive appropriate verdict.

Death wasn\'t a cruel mistress.

She was the inevitable end of the journey known as life.

There was no need to avoid her.

\'....\'

Neo decided to have Selene babysit Gwen until he made a decision.

After he explained everything to Selene, she carried Gwen over her back.

The three traveled through the forest and reached a massive hole.

"The blood droplet in down there."

Neo peered into the hole.

It stretched across hundreds of meters and its depth was obscured with darkness.

Even with his ability to see in the dark, he couldn\'t find the end of the hole.

"Are you sure there is a blood drop down there?"

"Yes, and it\'s a big one."

Neo frowned.

"Why isn\'t anyone trying to take it? This place is as empty as they come."

"Because this place is called \'Well of Death\'. Anyone who entered it never left."

Selene continued.

"Neo, I know you want the blood droplet, but please think about your safety too—"

"Take care of Gwen."

Neo cut her off and jumped.

His body fell into a hole at an alarming speed.

His clothes fluttered and Neo could sense the increasing presence of Death.

\'Strange, this presence of Death doesn\'t belong to my blood.\'

\'Why can\'t I sense the blood droplet?\'

Neo stretched his senses to the limit.

His actions alerted the monsters hiding in the wall of the hole.

Giant worms came out.

They dashed towards Neo, their maws filled with thousands of razor-sharp teeth ready to tear him apart.

"Die."

Condensed bolts of red lighting materialized around Neo.

The death worms died as soon as they entered Neo\'s vicinity.

He continued to fall, ignoring the monsters\' attack.

Suddenly, Neo felt as if his body passed through a \'boundary\'.

The monster stopped following him.

The presence of Death lingering in the surroundings disappeared.

And.

Neo finally understood why no one came out of the hole.

Life.

Holy.

The two elements were present in abundance down there. your m,vle mpyr source

His skin began to tear apart as the elements, opposing to his own, seeped into his body.

Technically, Neo was dead.

The Holy element and Life element were poison to him in his current state.

\'Why are these elements present in Underworld!?\'

Neo was about to hit the ground.

He plunged his sword into the wall to slow his descent.

He stopped at an appropriate height.

There was no danger even if he fell from his current position.

He pulled out the sword and landed on the ground with a thud.

"Its feels like shit here."

Neo chewed out his words.

He walked to the shimmering lake present in center.

It was the source of life and holy element.

Anyone who entered the hole must\'ve been purified by the elements.

His expression twisted when he noticed the giant blood droplet floating above the lake.

"It\'s really a big blood droplet like she said."

He ruffled his hair.

"Fuck."

He could still feel a stinging pain all over his body.

The presence of Death from the blood droplet was clashing against the Holy and Life presence radiating from the lake.

Those presences were suppressing his blood\'s presence and being suppressed it return.

It was why Neo could not sense his blood droplet from the top of the hole.

"This is troublesome."

If he absorbed the blood, the life and holy element would be unleashed fully.

Right now they were being held back his blood droplet.

When the blood droplet, Neo would be purified and vaporized by the unrestricted Holy and Life element.

"Fuck, why the hell are these things here."

Neo sat cross legged on the ground.

There was no point in wasting time, complaining.

"I\'ll use Immortal to return to the world of living as soon as I absorb the blood."

He began to absorb the blood.

The blood was being suppressed by the overwhelming about of Life and Holy elements in the surroundings.

It made the process easier.

Neo grunted.

His Divine Energy pool began to increase at an frightening speed.

It recovered to the half of his original reserves in a few minutes.

He regained his previous Divine Energy pool as time went by.

The blood droplet was still far from being absorbed completely.

Neo\'s Divine Energy pool continued to increase.

His veins swelled as the flow of blood rich in Divine Energy increased.

One and a One-fourth…

One and a Half…

One and a Three-fourth…

Twice!

Neo\'s Divine Energy reserve became twice as large his original reserve.

The life element and holy element started to go out of control after the blood droplet grew smaller.
