Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 618

Chapter 618: Saving Obitus

"...?"

Artemis stopped before a community housing. She looked around and pointed at a house.

"Spread out your senses towards that house."

Obitus became alert. Was it an enemy? Or was there something wrong happening there?

She quickly spread her senses, allowing her to see and hear beyond the walls and....

"Aahn~ harder~"

Obitus flinched upon seeing the man and woman wrapped around each other. Their sweaty bodies moved in a rhythm. They looked at each other with a lust-filled gaze.

Obitus became beet red.

Before she could retract her senses, Artemis said from the side, "Don’t look away. We aren’t even humans. Why are you ashamed of watching two humans have sex?"

There was logic in her words. Why should they, being above gods in this Cosmos, feel shame?

Nevertheless, logic was logic, and it was different from how Obitus was feeling.

"B-but it’s..."

"It’s?"

"It’s... so... indecent..."

Obitus had her face hidden by her fingers. But she still kept her senses stretched outwards.

This was her second time watching something indecent, the first time being when she saw Neo and Elizabeth.

"Hehe, that guy acted like a saint, but look at how horny and perverted are the people of his Cosmos. It’s definitely something that was influenced by him."

Obitus looked around.

Her face turned as red as a tomato when she saw what other people were doing in their houses.

"N-Neo isn’t perverted," she eked out, but her words barely had any strength behind them.

"Are you sure?" Artemis smirked. "Both of us watch ’that’, you know?"

"Don’t talk about Neo like that!" Obitus acted angry.

However, Artemis wasn’t wrong.

With the topic about Neo brought up, Artemis easily made Obitus talk. The sword spirit didn’t even realize she was being led around by the nose.

The two began to talk about the past as they sat on the bench under the night sky.

After they were done, Artemis finally spoke, "So, why were you holed up in your room?"

"Because I’m useless," Obitus replied. Having opened up her heart slowly over the day, she found it easy to release her pent-up feelings. "I... I don’t even know what Neo is going through, and I can’t do anything to help him."

Obitus had reached the central part of [Primordial Chaos Cosmos Core] long ago.

There, she found part of Neo’s Intent of Existence. If she devoured it, she could become his Avatar.

But the moment she tried to devour it... ƒreewebɳovel.com

"I froze." Tears began to slip through Obitus’ eyes. "I couldn’t devour his Intent of Existence. Just the thought of it made me throw up. I... I can’t do it."

Obitus should have set aside her feelings, and devoured the Intent of Existence. That way, she could open up the Cosmos and help Neo.

But between choosing what she should do and what she wanted, she chose the worse option.

"W-what if he is dead? What if he is suffering somewhere and hoping I will save him? He must hate me now for being so useless."

Obitus’ listless expression returned. She shook uncontrollably, and curled, hugging her knees into her chest, and cried.

"What should I do, Artemis? How—"

Her words were cut short when Artemis hugged Obitus.

"It’s okay now. You’ve worked hard. I’m sure you know but Neo will never hate you."

Her simple words seemed to have struck a chord in Obitus’ heart.

She cried like an infant, her tears flowing as if a dam had burst.

Instead of saying anything, Artemis rubbed her back until she stopped crying.

The release of pent-up emotions from centuries made Obitus relieved and exhausted. She fell asleep in Artemis’ arms, and woke up only after a few days.

"Where is this?" Obitus covered her eyes due to the bright sunshine.

Her gaze slowly adjusted and she realized she was in her room. The curtains had been finally opened, and the dust had been cleared. "Who did all of this?"
