Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 297

Sword Techniques of Neo were made of three parts: Incantation, action/attack, landing of attack.

As soon as the Eighth stance’s Incantation was completed, the attack had landed.

No one saw Neo strike because he never did.

That was the Eighth Stance.

The action of swinging the sword was erased from time.

Only its effect remained.

After injuring the maggots, Neo stepped over their remains.

His shoes left scorched prints on the ruined ground.

He approached Zeus’ broken corpse.

"You okay?"

The corpse stood up, headless, and left without responding.

Then again, it was not like it could talk without a head.

Screens appeared before Neo’s eyes.

[You have inflicted a wound on the Angel of S@!$W.]

[Quest ’Inflict a wound on the Angel of S@!$W’ completed.]

[Reward: Life Affinity.]

Neo felt a foreign yet familiar power budding inside him.

The power of Life.

As soon as he received it, more notifications followed.

[Life affinity detected.]

[Conditions to fully unseal the third stage of Blessing have been met.]

’So this was why I couldn’t get the third stage to awaken fully no matter what I did.’

’I needed Life Affinity for it.’

Neo wished he had been given more information about these things instead of being left to move around in the dark.

He had gone by for decades without knowing how to unseal the full third stage of his blessing.

However, it didn’t matter anymore.

He had awakened the Primogenitor skill.

It would tell him about these things as long as he had free slots.

Neo clenched and unclenched his fists.

He could feel the World Energy coursing through him.

It was a gentle but overwhelming current, far more vibrant than the power he had wielded before.

He could easily tell the difference between his current self and the version of him who hadn’t awakened World Energy.

Even twenty of his past selves would be no match for him now.

Neo couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

A lot of things he hadn’t noticed before became painfully clear to him now.

The pieces were finally fitting together.

Previously, he had been wondering where the Divine Energy came from when he revived himself using Eternal and Immortal.

It had made no sense that his Divine Energy pool was refilled after the revival.

"All of it was the power of my Will all along," he muttered.

He had been on the verge of awakening World Energy since long ago.

The power for his Immortal skill activation had been coming from his Will.

He had just not realized it.

A soft chime echoed in his mind, drawing his focus back to the floating notifications before him.

[Conditions required to upgrade Status to Ver 3.0 met.]

[Would you like to update the Status Screen?]

Neo read the lines.

’Yes.’

[Status will be shut down until the upgrade is completed.]

[Time remaining: Indefinite.]

His attention shifted to the Angel when he heard its voice.

’This changes nothing.’

The Angel’s voice was back to its calm, taunting demeanor.

’You can now damage me, so what?’

’You are far from doing any substantial damage.’
