Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 206

'That can't be true.'

'There were countless awakeners who fought the monsters and anomalies without backing down.'

'They were the reason why peace returned.'

Then why was the man devoid of hope?

Neo found the answer easily.

'Ah… He is a normal human, not an awakener.'

The awakeners had the power to defy fate and stand up against their enemies. _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}

But normal humans were different.

Even the weakest monster could kill them easily.

Just like how Neo had died when he encountered a zombie in his first life.

"Old man, do you know where I can find a base of survivors?"

"Does any b-base work?"

"Yeah."

"I've heard the Azrew has a good amount of survivors."

The old man gritted his teeth through the pain and answered.

"App-apparently they've built the walls to keep the monsters out."

"What about your base? You can't be traveling alone."

"The statute anomaly killed them and destroyed the base," he muttered, his voice growing weaker. "I escaped with my brother, but he was caught on the run."

Neo nodded.

"That Azrew City. You know the way to it?"

"Y-yes?"

The old man was confused at Neo's answer.

"Good, I saved your life. Now, pay me back by helping me reach that city."

Neo curled his finger.

Red lightning – red – materialized around the old man.

Neo pulled that Death into himself, temporarily stopping the deterioration of the old man's wounds and giving him a few more minutes to live.

Something at this level consumed barely any Divine energy.

"What are you doing?"

"Wait here."

Neo entered the supermarket.

He searched through the place for a few items.

"Needles… Found it.

"Sutures… Can't find them, I'll use threads from the clothing department."

"Clean Water... I will use my element."

He returned after searching for a few more items.

"These are not perfect, but they should be enough to treat your wound."

"B-but…"

"Hold it, old man."

The healing elixirs could've solved the problem,

However, Neo had only divine energy elixirs; the healing ones were probably with Jack.

"I don't know who was the medic in your group, but this level of injury can be treated with emergency first aid.

"The blood loss is a problem though, so we need to reach Azrew City quickly, or your wounds will deteriorate."

Neo had intensive knowledge about medical treatment thanks to visions of Sphinx.

He chuckled inwardly.

'Sphinx might be a bastard. But it still helped me greatly.'

The old man hissed in pain as Neo stitched the wound.

Nonetheless, he was calm for someone who wasn't given painkillers.

"Good, this is enough."

He stood up after treating the old man's wounds.

"We should rest for a few hours before we start moving."

"Why… why are you helping me?"

"I don't need a reason to help someone," he said.

'Besides, you'll help me increase my fame and give me information about this era.'

The old man, Kane, thanked him in tears. Read new chapters at m_v-l'e-NovelFire

The two talked for a few hours.

Neo gained a lot of knowledge.

The apocalypse had hindered communication between people greatly.

"Like someone is creating those monsters and targeting us," Neo completed Kane's words.

"Yeah," Kane nodded. "There is no official confirmation, but I think this is why they are called anomalies and the others monsters."

The two prepared for a journey after they had enough rest.

"Is it okay for me to follow you? I'll be just a burden."

"It's fine. I'm going to Azrew City either way. Nothing changes if one more person tags along."

The two moved at a slow pace.

Along the way, they had to take multiple detours to avoid strong monsters.

They reached the city after a few weeks.

"Woah…."

"…."

Neo and Kane gazed at the walls that seemed to touch the sky.

Kane had a stunned expression, and Neo was inwardly shocked.

The wall was long, and Neo couldn't see its end on the sides.

'Does this wall actually cover the entire city? Creating something like this shouldn't be easy.'

Before the two could say anything, a tiny section at the wall's bottom opened.

A woman, green hair, milk-white skin, came out of the wall's gate.

Several soldiers stood behind her.

"Welcome to Azrew, wanderers," she curtsied. "I can see you two have gone through immense struggles to reach this place.

"You don't need to worry.

"Our city is a safe haven, a paradise."

"…"

Neo stayed silent.

Kane's expression hardened.

"Something is wrong," he whispered to Neo.

"Why?"

"This place is too welcoming. I've seen cities fall because the citizens fought for resources.

"And she is inviting random people like us without any questions."

The woman heard Kane even though he had whispered.
