It was surprising.
Neo never expected the blessing to be like this.
The power to judge the souls.
Such mythical power belonged to the realms of….
The Gods.
Neo cleared those thoughts.
He was just an Awakened Demigod.
Becoming a God was too far in the distance.
"Stop ignoring me!"
Gwen lunged at him.
Before she could do anything, Neo suddenly moved.
His figure blurred and he appeared behind her.
Grabbing her neck, he smashed her head into the ground and knocked her out cold.
He won.
It was laughingly easy.
Just a few months ago he could not hope of defeating a single Zeus clan member, even if he went all out.
And now he could defeat them without using his blessing.
"All that training was worth it."
He smiled.
"I just need to awaken my Time Element and I'll finally become the strongest first year student.
"First thing first...."
He looked at the unconscious Gwen.
"I need to recover my Divine Energy."
He turned his gaze towards the forest.
Selene was late.
…
"He won't survive, just like your previous teammates."
Mad Hound licked his lips.
"I've carefully selected my new pets."
"H-he won't die. Neo won't."
Selene gathered her strength.
She believed what she had said.
Neo wouldn't be defeated.
The reason she recruited Neo was because he survived absorbing the blood droplet.
"Hahahaha, there is no way he is defeating two Zeus Clan prodigies."
"….What?"
Selene's blood turned cold.
It made Mad Hound happy.
"Why do you think I couldn't gather more minions? I was busy working hard collecting those Zeus blood bags!" Discover more at NovelFirempy _r.
Selene's face lost all color.
"Good! That's the face I wanted to see before I kill you!"
Mad Hound grinned.
"It's the perfect punishment for the trouble you've caused me."
There was no need to keep Selene alive anymore.
Mad Hound pulled the blade out of her neck, causing her to flinch and stumble.
He kicked her down the tree and jumped over her.
Just as he was about to crush Selene, a red bolt of lightning crashed into him.
He was flung away and his back hit the tree.
"W-who is there?!"
Mad Hound growled.
He bared his fangs at the human walking out of the thicket at a leisure pace.
"It seems your Aura of Death is just for show."
The monsters like Selene and Mad Hound had been living Underworld.
Their auras grew stronger after being corrupted.
It was why Neo misjudged their strength.
In truth they were…
"You are pathetically weak."
Mad Hound's eyes widened when he saw Neo.
Countless questions surged inside his mind.
He rushed towards Neo and drew his menacing claws.
"Hahahaha! I don't know why you are here, but this is better! I'll kill you in front of Selene—"
"Die."
Neo spoke a single word.
Suddenly, Mad Hound's legs stopped working.
He fell face first into the ground.
"Grrrr…."
