distorted the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dry grass beneath him ignited, crackling loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body became a blur as he bolted toward Neo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine

different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the first time anyone saw Neo furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere grew suffocating as Neo's bloodlust surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind seemed to die, leaving only an eerie stillness in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo let out a disappointed sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two of you are absolute geniuses, one can control time, one can control space, and another one has a True Soul Weapon,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cold gaze moved, landing on each of them in turn—Arthur, Mars, Sean, Clara,

sword missed him by inches and slashed through the spot where he had stood moments ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air next to Neo distorted like ripples in a pond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur had been hiding, using his Air Mirage Spell to stay concealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of surprise crossed Arthur's face as his sneak attack failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had left a mirage clone to distract Neo while he prepared to strike from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur launched a flurry of attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Mars took advantage of the distraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slammed his fist into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Massive flames erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walls of fire roared to life, engulfing the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heat warped the air, and visibility plummeted as smoke curled around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sound Kaleidoscope!\" Arthur chanted a spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the clearing was filled with a cacophony of noises—footsteps, the clash of blades, and indistinct shouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sounds came from all directions, disorienting anyone who heard them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo used one hand to parry Arthur's sword attacks..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with startling speed, Neo's free hand shot out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He intercepted Mars's punch aimed at his nape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact of Mars's flaming fist against Neo's palm created a brief shockwave that extinguished some of the surrounding fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought you wouldn't attack me from behind,\" Neo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's exactly why I attacked from there!\" Mars retorted with a wide grin etched on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed forward with another fiery strike, then another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur jumped in before Neo could attack Mars and allowed Mars to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elemental energy roared in the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two eastern flame dragons coiled around Mars's hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their scales shimmered like molten lava.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fire Dragon Technique: Flame Fist!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mars lunged forward again, punching toward Neo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The serpentine fire dragons surged toward Neo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They spiraled around him, leaving no room for escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heat they emitted was suffocating, causing the nearby grass to smolder and blacken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Arthur used his Air Affinity to amplify the flames, feeding them oxygen to grow even larger and more intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They turned into infernos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their flames hungrily ate the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo remained unfazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He summoned a massive sphere of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water rippled and swirled as he directed it to douse the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steam hissed violently as the water collided with the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragons devoured the water ball with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I can create a stronger water ball, but that would mean using strength beyond Awakened Demigod rank,' Neo thought as he assessed the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grip tightened around his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine Swordsmanship Fifth—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Neo could complete his Incantation, an invisible force yanked at Obitus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword wrenched itself free from his grasp and flew through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Psychokinesis? Is that Clara?' Neo wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara's voice echoed, confirming his suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've got his sword! Now, he can't use that sudden burst of strength of his! This is our chance! Get him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed they had been strategizing and looking into his weaknesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Seems like they know I use Obitus to remove my debuff,' he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire dragons closed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their blazing maws snapped hungrily at Neo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly conjured a Coffin of Darkness and remained inside it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragons crashed against the coffin repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparks flew as fire clashed against darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the space around Neo began to ripple and distort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive surge of Space elemental energy swamped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Coffin of Darkness became empty as he reappeared high in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\" Neo muttered, his voice carrying a note of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara's mastery of Space element seemed to have reached Adept (Low) rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be impressed just yet!\" Arthur's voice rang out from above, carried by the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo, still plummeting through the sky, tilted his head upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw Arthur, who had been teleported even higher, standing confidently in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's a lot more to come!\" Arthur declared, raising his sword high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden lightning coiled tightly around the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Invincible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur's aura erupted like a blinding star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden lightning wrapped around him flared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sword cut downward in a deadly arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo, still in mid-air, noticed another surge of power from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes flickered to the ground, where Mars stood smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fire Dragon Technique: Flame Fist!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mars unleashed an attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flame dragons were larger, and denser than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Mars had been holding back earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo found himself trapped between the two attacks—the golden lightning from above and the blazing fire dragons from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's a good strategy,\" Neo muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hands, one toward Arthur's lightning and the other toward Mars's fire dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo's aura darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used his Shadow Affinity.\u003C\u002Fp>",1304,"2026-05-30T08:00:57.452Z","2026-06-01T04:30:42.299Z",1,"novelbin.me","68a013d10180c89f4ac78b7c0d290eb97479c570eea29087acdfcc265733725b","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-348","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-346",839,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fextra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-cover.jpg"]
