Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 649

Chapter 649: Fourth Battle

It was slow, tedious work.

The last time he forcefully entered a Space-Time Prison to catch Nameless Death and Berserker, it had exhausted him greatly.

It was because of that he could only attack once.

This time, he was taking no chances.

He was opening every Space-Time Prison slowly.

"Found any leads yet?" a calm voice asked behind him.

Barbatos turned slightly.

Zagreus stood there, eyes scanning the same mist-covered terrain, arms folded.

Barbatos could see the exhaustion just beneath his calm expression, but the young man held himself steady.

"Not yet," Barbatos said. "But it shouldn’t take more than a few decades."

Zagreus nodded.

Both of them fell silent.

Zagreus couldn’t help but think if Nameless Death had rescued his mother’s soul.

Barbatos could guess his thoughts. He decided to change the topic.

"How is your training coming along prince?"

"It’s coming along nicely. I never thought I could work with Asmodea to do that."

He chuckled.

"Coupled with the information about Nameless Death and Berserker’s strength we received from Leonora, we can win fairly easily if the plan works."

...

Berserker’s POV

The sky was quiet today.

Just the way he liked it.

Berserker sat atop the broken pillar, one leg swinging casually over the edge.

The wind howled around him, brushing past the jagged ruins scattered across the desolate land, but he barely noticed.

His eyes were fixed on the horizon.

Today was the day.

The long-awaited clash. The fight that had been building for far too long. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

He rolled his shoulders once, exhaled, then leaned forward.

Nothing yet. The horizon remained still. But it wouldn’t stay that way.

He waited.

Seconds stretched into minutes.

The silence felt heavier with each passing moment, but Berserker wasn’t bothered.

He had always been good at waiting.

Let the others fidget and overthink. Let them get anxious. He found it amusing.

Then he saw it.

There was a ripple in the distance. The shadow at the far edge of the ’world’ moved.

"Finally."

Berserker grinned.

A figure emerged through the shadow, walking slowly.

A black coat fluttered behind him, and with every step, the world around him seemed to darken slightly. As if reality itself wasn’t sure it wanted to stay whole in his presence.

Nameless Death.

He looked exactly like Berserker expected—irritated, and furious. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Berserker couldn’t help himself. He threw his head back and let out a long, unrestrained laugh.

"Hahaha! That face! Your Path is still incomplete, isn’t it?"

Nameless Death froze.

He stopped walking, and stared at Berserker.

There was no way Berserker should’ve been able to see what was happening inside the Shadow Space, since there were no ambient elements there.

"You’re still stuck," Berserker continued, leaning forward with a smirk. "You’ve got the materials, the concepts, the foundation, all of it. But the last step just won’t finish, will it?"

Nameless Death’s gaze sharpened.

"You know why I keep failing?"

"Of course I do."

Berserker grinned.

Before Nameless Death could react, Berserker’s presence exploded.
