Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades

"Okay. The Great I will start. Follow the Great I," announced Nyxtharion #2.

The dragons turned and moved deeper into the cavern.

Neo followed, feeling their hivemind hum in his head.

The tunnels twisted, widened, and the air grew cold.

They stopped in a huge open space.

It was a cave five times the size of the Luminera continent.

Shadows hid the ceiling, and the ground stretched flat and dark.

A smaller cave sat to the side. Neo sensed a powerful presence inside it, but the place was ignored by the dragons.

"What is this place?" asked Neo.

"This is the center of Zone 2. The Great I train you here," replied Nyxtharion #28.

"To use Void?" Neo looked around at the empty, quiet space.

"Yes. First, you need stronger skills," explained Nyxtharion #2.

"Stronger skills? I've got plenty," argued Neo.

"Not good enough. You need to fight better for real Void," corrected Nyxtharion #69.

"How do I do that?" wondered Neo.

"You will fight the Great I. Two of the Great I," decided Nyxtharion #4.

"Fight you? With what?"

"You can copy the abilities of Great I, correct? Learn Voidfaing Rain, and Space Lock," answered Nyxtharion #2.

Neo nodded. He could rank up Death Sword too.

As the dragons had regressed, they knew Death Sword, and Neo did not have to teach them the skill.

Nyxtharion #4 and #69 stepped forward, scales glowing faintly.

Neo summoned Obitus and activated Death Sword.

[Death Sword (Rank: Stage 2, Mastery: Supreme) total: 157.1%]

"Here we go," growled Nyxtharion #69.

Nyxtharion #4 lunged, and swept the Death Sword low across the ground.

Neo leaped over, landing as Nyxtharion #69 slashed high in a tight arc.

He swung his own Death Sword, meeting the strike with a loud clash, sparks scattering.

Dark spikes rained from above as Nyxtharion #69 flexed its claws and used Voidfang Rain.

The attack came sharp and fast.

Neo used Hydraulic Motion Technique and Pseudo Gap to dodge.

Yet, one spike grazed his shoulder.

Nyxtharion #4 used the opportunity and advanced, slashing Death Sword in controlled, diagonal cuts.

Neo blocked, feeling their smoother rhythm, and countered with a quick thrust.

[Death Sword (Rank: Stage 2, Mastery: Supreme) total: 157.1% → 159.8%]

The air thickened as Nyxtharion #69 locked space around Neo, freezing him in place.

He strained, breaking free slowly as Nyxtharion #4's blade sliced toward his chest.

[Space Lock (Rank: Stage 2, Mastery: Savant) +0.5%]

Neo rolled aside, tapping the power of the Protector, Sovereign of Three Thousand Shadows.

"Heed my call, O Two Kings and the Legion of Three Hundred."

Shadow Elementals churned inside Neo's Core.

"Be my Hand, Be my Claws."

The ground trembled.

Three hundred Exalted-rank shadow wolves emerged, misty forms with glowing red eyes.

Two Grade 5 Fabled-rank shadow titans rose behind, towering with jagged claws. They bowed to Neo, then charged.

Wolves swarmed Nyxtharion #4, snapping at its legs.

It swept Death Sword wide, cutting through a dozen, shadows dissolving into mist.

A titan roared, slamming a fist at Nyxtharion #69.

The dragon sidestepped, raking its blade across the titan's arm, black blood oozing.

Neo dashed in, slashing at Nyxtharion #4 with Death Sword.

The wolves kept it busy, letting his strike land on its side, mimicking their clean cuts.

[Death Sword (Rank: Stage 2, Mastery: Supreme): 159.8% → 163.2%]

Nyxtharion #69 used Voidfang Rain, and unleashed a storm of dark spikes, spiraling outward in a deadly swirl.

They shredded twenty wolves and grazed Neo's arm, forcing him back.

[Voidfang Rain (Rank: Stage 2, Mastery: Savant): 20.2% → 25.6%]

Nyxtharion #4 locked space again, pinning the wolves mid-leap.

Neo felt the heavy grip, breaking free as the second titan charged Nyxtharion #4, smashing it into the ground with a heavy claw.

Neo followed, slashing Death Sword upward, syncing with their precise style.

[Death Sword (Stage 2, Mastery: Supreme): 163.2% → 166.7%]

Nyxtharion #69 carved its blade in a spinning arc, slicing a titan's leg clean off.

The monster collapsed, fading into mist.

Neo countered, and swung Death Sword in a low, sweeping cut at Nyxtharion #69's legs.

The dragon blocked, scales sparking.

Nyxtharion #4 sent spikes arcing in a tight cone, shredding more wolves.

The last titan roared, clawing Nyxtharion #69's back, keeping it off balance. Neo struck Nyxtharion #4, blade humming stronger as he matched their flow.

[Death Sword (Stage 2, Mastery: Supreme): 166.7% → 170.1%]

[Space Lock (Rank: Stage 2, Mastery: Savant) +0.6%]

Space tightened as Nyxtharion #69 froze the air again, catching Neo mid-step.

He pushed through, slashing at Nyxtharion #4 as the wolves bit its tail, slowing it down.

The titan punched Nyxtharion #69, making small cracks appear on its scales.

Neo swung Death Sword in a high arc, copying their strength and speed.

[Death Sword (Stage 2, Mastery: Supreme): 170.1% → 173.5%]

Nyxtharion #4 swept its blade low, scattering wolves with a single slice.

Neo blocked, feeling their power ripple through his arm.

Nyxtharion #69 sent spikes spiraling upward, piercing the titan's chest.

The monster staggered, giving Neo an opening. He slashed Death Sword at Nyxtharion #69, aiming for its wing, syncing with their smooth strikes.

[Death Sword (Rank: Stage 2, Mastery: Supreme): 173.5% → 176.9%]

[Space Lock (Rank: Stage 2, Mastery: Savant) +0.6%]

Nyxtharion #4 locked space, freezing the wolves again.

Neo broke free, lunging at Nyxtharion #4 with a quick jab.

The titan slammed Nyxtharion #69, knocking it back.

Neo followed, slashing Death Sword in a tight, controlled burst, matching their rhythm perfectly.

[Death Sword (Rank: Stage 2, Mastery: Supreme): 176.9% → 180.3%]

[Death Sword (Rank: Stage 2, Mastery: Supreme): 180.3% → 183.7%]

[…(Rank: Stage 2, Mastery: Savant): 183.7% → 187.1%]

[…187.1% → 190.5%]

[…]

The wolves and the titan fell over the course of battle, leaving behind Neo.

He continued to clash with the dragons repeatedly. Reviving, Dying. Again, and again.

[Space Lock (Rank: Stage 2, Mastery: Savant): 20.2% → 26.8%]

[Voidfang Rain (Rank: Stage 2, Mastery: Savant): 25.6% → 31.9%]

[Death Sword (Rank: Stage 2 → Stage 3, Mastery: Supreme → Apprentice)]

The aura warping around Neo's Formless Sword suddenly surged.
