Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 226

Apollo added,

"Timeless Sun is a Spirit, but we didn't know it at first. It was named Anomaly #55 and its name remained even after we formed a contract."

Kane was amazed and horrified.

He struggled to fathom the strength of Association that was able to form a contract with a living sun.

'And the strongest awakener of that association was defeated by Anomaly #79, which is currently targeting Neo and me,' he thought bitterly, his mood taking a turn for the worse.

Although it was unnerving to be looked down upon by a living sun – especially because they could feel its gaze – Kane and Neo became used to the presence of Anomaly #55 after a few days.

They moved towards Gibraltar Strait at a swift pace.

According to Emma, the situation was worsening in Spain.

If they didn't hurry, the Necromancer would invade Portugal.

They reached Fnideq in three weeks. _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}

"We are only a day away from Gibraltar Strait. After that, we just need to cross the sea and we will reach Spain," Emma said as she sat beside Neo.

"Wouldn't we need to enter deeper into Spain to meet… him?" Neo said.

He did not want to call Jack a Necromancer because the title was given to him as a stigma.

'Only a few days more and I can meet Jack,' he thought. 'I was the one who brought him to this world and I wasn't there for him when he lost control to the Darkness.'

The air of melancholy around him was clear to Emma.

"Don't do anything you will regret when we reach Spain," she said.

"I won't."

Neo had already made up his choice on whether he would help Apollo and Emma defeat Jack or not.

He was gazing at the night sky – they had left the area of Anomaly #55 a few days ago – when Emma stood up and patted the dust off her clothes.

"The Anomaly #79 will be arriving in a few minutes.

"Today is the first day of the ninth month. The Anomaly will be completely different from the one you've been facing until now. Be careful."

She left after giving him the advice.

'She is really a sociopath,' he thought as he watched her fading back.

He could understand they didn't help him fight Anomaly #79 because it was dangerous.

But leaving him without feeling any guilt showed him how she was.

'Apollo might be annoying, but he is better than her at least.'

Neo looked at the flare in his hands.

'He told me to use it if Anomaly #79 was too much for me to handle alone.'

Neo had no intention of asking for Apollo's help.

Still, Apollo's action brought a smile to Neo's face.

He could tell Apollo was treating him nicely as Neo was a kind hero in his eyes.

'Apollo is like a tsundere.'

While Neo was examining the flare, a high-speed projectile entered his range of senses.

A split second later, the 'projectile' was in front of his face already.

The statue monster pulled back its blade and slashed towards Neo's back.

'It's fast–'

As if the monster had been baiting Neo, its speed suddenly became a dozen times faster, catching Neo by surprise.

He flew back, smashing through the buildings and crashed into an abandoned hotel.

"Cough! Cough!"

Neo grabbed his sides.

He felt a wet sensation, and his hand was covered in blood.

'It breached my Ocean's Embrace Spell easily.'

Just as Neo completed his thoughts, the statue monster broke through the walls and attacked.

Neo side-stepped to dodge the attack.

The monster predicted his move and changed the trajectory of the blade.

Again, the speed of Anomaly #79's attack suddenly became faster, catching Neo by surprise.

'Shit! This fucker is purposefully using slow attacks first to throw me off rhythm.'

Neo pulled Obitus out of the sheath to block the monster.

Thunderous shockwaves erupted, shattering the glass panels of the hotel, and webbed cracks formed on the ground.
