Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 258

Confused, Zeus destroyed the shadow.

At the same time, a hand came out of Neo's shadow and pulled him into the shadows.

Zeus stared at the spot from where Neo had disappeared.

"It must be his partner who saved him."

Zeus was about to chase after Neo when suddenly Apollo coughed blood.

He decided to give proper treatment to Apollo before hunting down Neo and Jack.

…

Neo appeared beneath a giant tree.

His body was on the verge of falling apart.

His head was barely clinging to his neck, and his Divine Energy reserves were about to hit rock bottom.

The battle with Apollo did a number on him.

Facing Zeus after that only made things worse.

Neo looked around and noticed an undead before him.

The undead had used Shadow Jump to carry him away from Zeus.

"Did Jack command you to save me if I was in danger?"

The skeleton nodded. It crouched and dug its bony hands into Neo's pocket.

"What are you…"

The undead took out the package Jack had given to Neo.

It was Jack's hand.

The message Jack left for him through the undead was clear.

Devour the hand.

Recover your Divine Energy.

And breakthrough to the next rank. _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}

'That is the only way we can win,' the undead's eyes seemed to say.

"…."

Neo stared at the package.

"Can Jack hear me?"

The undead nodded.

"How is his battle going? I can tell he is fighting the Sovereigns."

"…"

The undead stood motionless.

Its lack of actions answered plenty.

"So he is losing."

Neo closed his eyes.

He burned his Divine Energy reserves to strengthen his blessing.

The boost of the blessing reinforced his body and the effects of his Spells, including Black Dawn of Despair.

'Since this spell strengthens my allies and debuffs my enemies, it should help Jack if I reinforce the spell with the blessing.'

Neo could feel Jack glaring at him through the eyes of the undead.

"Give me a few anti-debuffs," he told the undead.

"Make sure all of them are related to speed."

Anti-debuff Spells – also known as reverse debuffs Spells – worked almost the same as buffs.

Additionally, if one was wearing an anti-debuff, they couldn't be debuffed by their opponents, which was the main reason anti-debuff were preferred over buffs.

"You can use anti-debuff through this undead, right?"

The undead nodded.

It placed its palm on his shoulders and closed its eyes.

Black patterns began to materialize on Neo's skin, and he could feel strength surging into his limbs.

Neo hadn't been able to react to Zeus' speed.

Speed anti-debuff would solve the problem.

After applying three anti-debuffs, the undead stopped.

It stared at Neo.

Neo understood its question and shook his head.

"I don't need defense anti-debuff. Just give me speed ones."

Defense anti-debuffs were a good option in normal circumstances.

However, seeing Zeus' strength, Neo understood increasing his defense was useless.

The undead applied five anti-debuffs on Neo.

It nudged the packet with Jack's hand towards Neo.

"…."

Neo picked up the packet.
