Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 75

Lightning crackled around his finger.

'Not yet! I need to increase the pressure!'

It was similar to pinching the mouth of the water pipe to increase the force of water flowing out.

He blocked as many Magic Circuits as possible and diverted the excess Death-infused Divine Energy to his finger.

The intensity of lightning increased.

Condensed bolts of lightning shot out of his finger.

One of the flying golem was hit.

The golem died.

It fell out of the sky.

Neo suddenly felt hollowed out.

His Divine Energy reserves hit rock bottom and he could barely stand.

'I think the attack is called Aura Snipe?'

'Well, mine was more similar to a cannon with weak firepower.'

'It needs to be refined.'

His vision blurred.

Exhaustion overtook him.

The last thing he saw were the remaining nine flying-golems.

…

The training session ended.

Students left their rooms and gathered in the hall.

"Arthur!"

Felix ran up to the heavily bruised Arthur.

"How was the test… what happened to you?"

"My teammates betrayed me."

Arthur smiled bitterly.

He explained how his team members turned out to be the spy of Zeus Clan.

He barely managed to secure the first position in his room.

"Wait, what? You were first?"

"Yeah, I was lucky.

"They were attacking me and a stray attack hit Morrigan.

"All hell broke loose after that. I used the opportunity to sneak out and kill the birds.

"What about you?"

"I rode on the tailcoats of the Poseidon Clan," Felix smiled embarrassedly.

"First?"

"Yup, first."

Arthur's exhausted expression changed to a smile.

"Congrats."

"You too!"

They bumped their fists.

A notification arrived on Felix and Arthur's smartphones.

"The training session has ended.

"I hope it helped you to understand your weakness and the importance of compatible teammates.

"The class is finished. You can leave," Elizabeth spoke.

The students turned around to leave.

"Where is Neo?"

"I don't know."

Arthur spoke and approached Elizabeth.

"Professor, the Ruler, Neo, hasn't left his training room yet."

"His training is still going on."

Arthur found himself unable to speak up when she gave a cold answer.

Her presence was too overbearing.

He decided to wait with Felix for Neo to return.

"Neo Hargraves has to undergo a longer training session as a penalty for being late.

"You two should leave."

Arthur wanted to wait for Neo.

However, Felix pulled him out of the gym.

"Why did we leave? Neo would be tired when he comes out. We should've waited for him."

"Because the professor told us to go."

Felix lied through her teeth.

She had always been sensitive to other people.

It was easy for her to notice the homeroom teacher, Anna, was paying special attention to Neo.

'Is it because he is the Ruler?'

'That doesn't explain her today's actions.'

'She helped him on the first day but she was targeting him today.'

If Anna was Neo's supporter, she wouldn't have punished him.

And if she was against him, she wouldn't have saved him on the first day.

Felix couldn't find the reason behind Anna's contradictory actions.

Suddenly a wild thought appeared in her head.

'Is it a lover's quarrel?'

'No, no, no! What am I thinking!?'

"Mhm."

They stayed silent.

Neo sunk into the fluffy bed.

He was resting when Elizabeth opened her mouth.

"Why do you want to grow stronger?"

"Just cause."

Elizabeth didn't believe him.

His drive was too strong for it to be a whim.

"You won't stop no matter what I tell you?"

Neo let out a bitter smile.

It was enough for an answer.

Elizabeth pursed her lips.

She wanted to force Neo if that was what it took for him to follow her words.

But…

"Take this."

She was no longer a tyrant.

After thinking hard about it, she decided.

Her past was a lesson she had to learn from.

Forcing others would never work out.

When there was a conflict, both sides had to compromise.

"This…" _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

Neo looked at Obitus and the bag placed next to his bed.

He stared at Elizabeth, wondering if she was really giving them to him.

"Don't look at me like that. They belong to you."

Obitus.

And.

The replica of Poseidon's trident.

Finally, he had them both.

"Thank you," Neo said. "Though, you are correct. They belonged to me. You just snatched them and refused to return them."

"It was for your own good."

Elizabeth huffed and looked away.

Neo smiled.

She was cute even when she was angry.

Neo rested for a bit before he stood up and removed the blood transfusion packs.

"Where are you going?" She asked.
