Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 630

Chapter 630: If I Can’t Win, I Won’t Let You Win Either

"You stopped my attack."

Even after saying it, the words didn’t feel real.

So he asked, "How did you do that?"

Nameless Death coughed.

A trickle of blood ran from the corner of his mouth as he replied, "I learned... after... watching you... Cough! Cough!"

The dust fully cleared, revealing what remained of his broken frame.

Barbatos’ Death elementals still clung to him, eating away at both body and soul.

Nameless Death had tried to regenerate, reconstruct, and even resurrect himself.

None of it worked. Barbatos’ Death wouldn’t leave him alone. It was like rot that ignored time and space, eating through every defense he summoned.

He couldn’t heal.

"You learned it?" Barbatos asked, eyes narrowing. "But you—"

He stopped himself.

He’d seen countless geniuses in his lifetime, but this... this didn’t fit any mold.

The first time he used that technique, Nameless Death died instantly.

He hadn’t even seen the attack. There had been no defense, no reaction, just a corpse left standing.

That meant...

’He only saw it the second time I used it,’ Barbatos thought. ’And in that instant... he learned and blocked it?’

No. That couldn’t be.

Was this person really Neo?

The original Neo, the one from the royal family, never possessed such monstrous adaptability.

He had unbreakable will, yes, but talent? Not even average.

’Nameless Death has a Darkness that devours everything. If that includes talent... it makes sense. He’s absorbing more than just power.’

Barbatos let out a slow breath and stepped forward.

"It was a splendid performance," he said at last. "What you did... I’m still not sure how it was possible. Which is why I’ll give you another chance. Come back to the Prince, and I won’t kill you."

Nameless Death grimaced.

Barbatos’ tone was firm, and final. "You’re injured badly, and you can’t heal. Even if you blocked my attack once, that was only a single attack. You can’t defeat me in a battle. You can’t escape me either. Surrender is your only option."

He wasn’t wrong.

Nameless Death could barely keep his back straight.

His knees shook. His vision kept slipping. His soul pulsed erratically alongside his damaged Cores, and the death aura clawing at him made it hard to breathe.

He looked at his sword.

’Thirty seconds are still not up?’

Berserker was busy doing his part. He just needed more time.

Nameless Death coughed again, then tightened his grip on his sword.

He faced Barbatos.

"I take it you’re not willing to surrender?" Barbatos asked.

"I’d rather die than surrender."

"So you’re prepared to lose."

"Lose? No. I’m going to win."

Nameless Death could never win if he was badly injured after blocking one attack.

But Barbatos’ instincts screamed.

His Death warned him.

Something dangerous was about to happen.

He raised his scythe, no longer calm.

His eyes locked on Nameless Death, waiting for some strange move. But Nameless Death didn’t attack.

Instead, he spoke.

"Barbatos, there’s something I wanted to ask you," he said.

Barbatos hesitated, then replied, "Go on."

"Do you remember the Sacred Gate?"

"...I do."

"And the shadowy being who guarded it?"

"Yes."

"He was the Shadow Supreme. His name was Barbatos—"

The words barely left his mouth.

And then his voice vanished.

Nameless Death staggered. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

Blood exploded from the cracks forming on his skin.

His mouth opened but no sound came out.

The air distorted around him. His Cores shuddered. His soul splintered.

His Seed of Existence cracked like porcelain.

Then it shattered.

It was the punishment for uttering the name of someone far beyond himself.

Barbatos wasn’t spared either.

The moment he heard the name, his body froze.

He felt as if a hand larger than reality itself had wrapped around him and refused to let go.

’Barbatos... is the name of the Shadow Supreme?’

A flash of white-hot pain tore through his head.

It was unbearable.

The rules of the world didn’t allow people at his level to hear such names.

The only reason he had heard it now was because Nameless Death was a Heavenbreaker, and the Heavenly Principles that should’ve stopped Nameless Death had almost no authority over Heavenbreakers.

And because of that, Barbatos had heard everything before the Heavenly Principals reacted.

’The Shadow Supreme... with my name?’

He fell to his knees. His scythe clattered against the ground.

’That’s impossible.... I met the Shadow Supreme when I finished the Shadow Trials.... We both existed at the same time. That couldn’t have been me.’

’Time wouldn’t allow two people two exist at same point of time.’

But what about the shadowy being protecting the Sacred Gate?

’Is he... a second Shadow Supreme....’

It only raised more questions.

The more he questioned, the more pain surged through his head.

White blood spilled from his hood, and from the cracks forming along his bony arms.

His Death and Shadow power lashed out uncontrollably, destroying everything within reach.

The world shook. Even the sky seemed to dim.

That was when a new presence surged into the battlefield.
