Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 215

Neo confirmed his new ability.

"Mind Invasion…. I get what it does, but is this a Spell or an Incantation?"

Incantation and Spells – even Elemental Manipulation – had different working mechanisms.

The new ability he gained didn't follow any of those mechanisms.

He could use it without going through the hassle of manipulating elements, creating magic Spells, or commanding Elementals.

"This is almost like a Skill. It's like I gained a trait."

[Alert!]

[User Neo Hargraves has formed a link with Julius Theodore's 'Seed of Existence' (Mutated).]

[User Neo Hargraves has gained a portion of Julius Theodore's 'Seed of Existence' (Mutated) temporarily.]

[User Neo Hargraves can now use Trait 'Mind Invasion'.]

[Please note, User Neo Hargraves will lose Trait 'Mind Invasion' when the link breaks.]

Neo was surprised to see the rows of screens before his eyes.

"I see, so Mind Invasion is a mutated version of Julius' original trait."

He was amazed, knowing his Hell allowed him to gain traits.

Just as he thought that, his core churned.

A portion of Divine Energy from his core started to flow into the Hell within his soul.

The divine energy was being used to accommodate a new sinner into the Hell.

Neo winced when he noticed the amount of Divine Energy reserve he had lost.

"Of course, it wasn't that easy. Seems like the Hell needs more Divine Energy every time I throw another sinner into it."

He shook his head.

Divine Energy wasn't a problem to him, thanks to his absurdly huge reserves.

Though, inside the Shadow World where he had no way of recovering Divine Energy, it was troublesome.

[Alert!]

[Time until User Neo Hargraves loses Trait 'Mind Invasion': 9 years, 11 months, 30 days, 23 hours, 58 minutes, 12 seconds.]

Ding!

[Quest: Find a way to inherit Trait 'Mind Invasion' permanently.]

[Reward: Seed of Existence link locks x 3]

[Accept/Refuse]

Neo's brows rose when he saw the Quest.

"The rewards are good."

Every person had a Seed of Existence within them.

A person awakened their Trait when their Seed of Existence germinated.

"Even if I can gain the Trait of someone else, I will still need to level it up.

"I have my own unique skill, elements, Spells, and Incantations to master.

"Adding training for another Trait will just result in dividing my focus."

The problem was headache-inducing.

Thankfully, the quest reward would help him out of it.

[Quest accepted.]

As soon as he made the decision, more screens appeared.

[It has been detected User Neo Hargraves has two Seeds of Existence.]

[Current Akashic Record Interface of User Neo Hargraves has been deemed insufficient.]

[Requesting permission from mainframe to upgrade User Neo Hargraves' Akashic Record Interface...]

The screen changed to a loading screensaver wallpaper.

"One Seed of Existence should be mine, and the other one is the portion I gained from Julius."

Neo had a hard time believing what was happening.

Gaining Traits was nearly impossible when using Darkness.

One had to have very high mastery in Darkness and equally high luck.

With Neo's luck, he never thought he could gain a Trait.

But the Hell solved his problem easily!

[Mainframe has granted permission.]

[Requesting permission from User Neo Hargraves to upgrade his Akashic Record Interface...]

[Accept/Deny]

Neo stared at the buttons on the screen.

There was no reason for him to refuse.

He had always planned to find a way to upgrade his System Interface, knowing it was useful.

He never expected to gain the opportunity for an upgrade so early.

[Accepted.]

[Time Remaining until upgrade is completed: 6 months.]

"Huh? 6 months? It is supposed to take only a few seconds..."

He frowned.

"I remember Sphinx saying my records don't exist in Akashic Record. Is this related to it?"

Although he was curious, there was no way for him to know the answer.

Neo shook his head.

He decided to focus on the issue at hand.

Just when he was about to remove the Coffin of Darkness, he sensed someone behind him.

He turned around with a snap.

'How did someone enter the Coffin of Darkness without alerting me—'

His thoughts froze.

"Y-you saw my face! I'll kill you!"

The statue monsters were entering the Coffin of Darkness.

'How…?'

'Every monster is afraid of Darkness; even Anomaly #33 was. How can these monsters enter the Coffin of Darkness so easily?'

'What happened to Kane?'

He was about to rush outside to look for Kane when suddenly Neo noticed something peculiar.

"….?"

There was no statue monster outside the Coffin of Darkness.

"If there is no monster outside, where did these come from?"

He sensed more statue monsters appearing behind him.

Turning around, he saw three more statue monsters within the Coffin of Darkness.

Neo noticed another detail at the moment.

Every statue monster that appeared within the Coffin of Darkness came inside when he was not looking at them.

"I see…."

His brows furrowed when he realized what was happening.

"These monsters aren't entering the Coffin of Darkness. They are teleporting inside.
