Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 12

Neo had a plan.

He had already executed it.

Now he just had to wait for the result.

The Tyrant Queen nodded after seeing his abilities.

"We'll do as you asked."

Suddenly, a screen appeared before Neo's eyes.

[Quest]

[Objective: Save the Tyrant Queen, Elizabeth.]

﹂The Mermaid Country is isolated in the harsh seas of Alaspa. Its unfavorable location has led it to be exploited by others countries since its establishment.

﹂Elizabeth changed the situation through her overwhelming might. With her crowning, she made sure no country and demigod could look down on her homeland or exploit it.

﹂Her radical methods, while uplifting for the Mermaid Country, earned her the nicknamed 'Tyrant Queen'.

﹂After years of peace, the people of Mermaid Country have forgotten the times when they were exploited.

﹂In their eyes, the Tyrant Queen is nothing but an uncontrolled slaughterer who is ruining their reputation and making enemies with powerful demigods.

﹂Believing that the Tyrant Queen's actions would soon bring retribution, the Mermaid Country has decided to revolt, to remove the Tyrant Queen before her enemies destroys their country in order to eliminate the Tyrant Queen.

[Reward: Immortal Exp +50, Water Affinity]

[Failure: Ire of Amelia de Beaufort]

[Do you wish to accept the Quest? Y/N]

There were many important details in the Quest description.

He scrolled above and re-read it carefully.

The story was as he remembered.

The rewards were good.

50 Exp was equal to using the Immortal skill 50 times. It would save him 50 days of training.

As far as Neo knew, nobody could gain an extra affinity.

They were born with fixed affinities and, in rare cases, the demigods could awaken their dormant affinities after going through a life-death situation.

Gaining a new affinity was unheard of.

For this type of reward, the failure was only receiving Amelia's anger.

It was clear what he needed to choose.

[Quest accepted.]

"Since you've accepted the request, we can start now," the Queen spoke.

She smiled.

"We'll purge the palace."

"H-huh? Mom, are you… going to kill everyone?"

"Not everyone, sweetie. Only those who seem to have a hand in the rebellion."

Almost all the palace people supported the revolt unanimously.

One of them might've been the caster of the curse.

Elizabeth did know the identity of the caster.

She could not do the purge as she might've killed the caster unknowingly.

If that happened, she would've been unable to lift the curse.

Her hands had been tied.

However, with Neo's arrival, she did not need the caster to remove the curse.

"As you wish, my Queen," Clara said.

"When can you start the remedy?" The Queen asked Neo.

"Tomorrow. I need to make some preparations today," he answered.

The Tyrant Queen saw no problem with the Neo's appeal.

The curse casted on her rendered her, an Exalted Demigod, helpless.

It happened because she had no defense against the curse and the curse was applied over the years without her knowledge.

But that didn't mean the curse was weak.

No.

To work on an Exalted Demigod it had to be incredibly powerful.

Taking a day to complete the preparations was already a lot less than what she had imagined.

If he was not the kin of Hades, Elizabeth would've thought Neo was lying.

"Clara, call my personnel guards and, until tomorrow, you will guard Neo." Elizabeth ordered. "Amelia, you will stay with me while Clara is protecting him."

She sent them after the short briefing.

Just as he was about to leave, he noticed Amelia staring at him with a glare.
