Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 143

"The three of us have no inttion to fight unnecessary battles.

"Instead of risking our lives in a fight, we have decided to share this treasure.

"You can do the same with us, or you can fight three of us alone."

Neo was surprised the monster could speak.

He had not expected to meet a monster with intelligce so soon.

"Fine."

Neo clicked his tongue.

He retracted his aura and sat next to the monsters.

Although Neo would've welcomed a battle, a peaceful negotiation was better.

Neo closed his eyes.

Flames of Darkness materialized a him.

They absorbed the essce of Death flowing out of the blood droplet.

The power of Exalted Demigod monster was mixed in the blood.

Neo felt as if he was being stared down by the Exalted Demigod monster wh he tried to absorb the blood.

It was suffocating.

The blood was his.

It should've be easy for him to absorb it.

Neo's body started to break.

He could not handle the residual concept of Death, belonging to the Exalted, lingering in blood droplet.

Neo bit his lips.

'Don't joke with me!'

'That blood is mine!'

'Who the hell do you think you are acting like its owner!'

The concept of Death imbued in the blood flared.

It flowed into his body, and destroyed it from within.

'Yeah, let's see if you can kill me first, or if I'll absorb you.'

…

Lysander, the crystalline quadrupled beast, ssed the presce of Death surging in the vicinity.

He oped his eyes and saw Neo trying to absorb a massive amount of blood at once.

He snorted.

'Is he a fool?'

Lysander, Sele, and Alaric had be absorbing the blood for days.

They did it at a slow pace.

All three of them were giuses yet they did not take the risk.

The power of blood could kill them easily if they tried to absorb it too quickly.

'Heh, as expected, it was a good choice to let him absorb the blood.'

'He'll just kill himself and we wouldn't need to share the treasure after he dies.'

Unlike them, Neo had be struggling to resist the presce of the Death in the area.

He was bound to die if he continued to stay here.

'Hehehe, fool. These humans always overestimate themselves and—'

….!?

Lysander flinched.

Neo suddly unleashed all of his flames of Darkness and began to absorb the blood droplet greedily.

"Wha-what are you doing!?"

The absurd sight before Lysander's eyes made him dumbstruck.

Neo was dying from the overwhelming power.

He was using his high-mastery of Death to stop it from claiming him, but it was only a matter of time that he fell to its call.

It made no sse to Lysander.

He did not understand why the human before its eyes was rushing headfirst to his death.

The vortex of flames sured Neo.

Sela, the spider monster, and Alaric, the humanoid beast, were forced to op their eyes.

Their faces harded.

The three looked at each other.

"You three, tell me.

"This can't be the only place where the Exalted Demigod monster dropped the blood.

"Where else can I find the other droplets?"

Neo had three uses of Immortal — he was saving the fourth one to return to the world of living — and a few hours to spare in the Underworld.

Ev if he did not find the droplets today, he could get them later.

The blood droplets gave his Divine Energy pool too big of boost for him to ignore them.

"Exalted Demigod….?" Alaric muttered. "How did you know it was an Exalted Demigod?"

"I saw it obviously."

They stiffed, unable to believe Neo was alive after an counter with an Exalted Demigod.

Neo had be lucky back th.

His body was an insulator that did not let anyone sse the blood of Monarch within him.

It was same for every demigod.

Otherwise, Neo would've be hunted for his blood already.

Lysander and Alaric grew nervous.

It was clear Neo was not normal.

"W-we don't know."

Neo stared at them for a few seconds.

He oped his mouth,

"Fine."

Just before he left, Sela called out to him.

"Wait! I know where you can find another droplet!"

"Sela, what are you trying to do? He is dangerous. We shouldn't get involved—"

"Shut up," Neo warned Lysander. "Don't interrupt again."

Lysander frowned, but closed his mouth.

Neo turned to Sela.

"Go on. I'm listing."
