Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 174

"I wanted to join the Weapon Auction the Hargraves Corporation is holding.

"But I'm too poor to get the tickets," Arthur said, trying to force a sorrowful tone.

"I'm fine anywhere, actually."

Felix elbowed Mars when he gave a normal answer.

Mars smiled and shrugged.

"Neo, pleaaaaase…"

Felix stared at him with puppy eyes.

"Fine."

Neo clicked his tongue and looked away.

"We'll meet one week later."

"Yes!" "Got him!"

Jack and Felix high-fived.

The group dispersed to complete their packing.

Neo left for the library and bought the [Rewind Enchantment] Spell.

"The cost is 1,000 credits. Do you wish to buy the Spell?" the librarian asked.

"Yes."

"The credits have been deducted from your account."

Neo took the Spell book and left the library.

He checked his balance.

"Only 215 credits left. The exams and other utilities took a lot of credits."

Neo studied the Spell on his way to the mission hall.

It was complicated.

"I'll need a few weeks to learn this."

He returned the Spell book to his bag and entered the mission hall.

"It's time I start the Fourth Trial.

"I just hope my guess is correct and the trial to defeat my Shadow."

The trial was to surpass oneself.

One's Shadow was a copy of oneself, and no one could defeat their Shadow.

Neo had repeatedly thought about the two ideas in the past week.

He concluded he had to defeat his Shadow in order to surpass himself.

"It's not easy though.

"I can find my Shadow only in Shadow Windows or the World of Shadows."

Neo massaged the bridge of his nose.

"Fuck, does my Shadow even exist?

"I can stay inside Shadow Windows without safety gear.

"So I'm either the Shadow myself or I've consumed my Shadow to awaken my Shadow element.

"Both of the options don't make any sense."

Complaining wouldn't change anything.

He decided to visit as many Shadow Windows as possible and hope his Shadow spawns.

"If it doesn't work, I might need to go to the World of Shadows…"

Life was always shit to shitter.

As if the previous trials were not difficult, now he had to search for a Shadow that might not exist.

"Let's do everything step by step.

"First, I need to go into Shadow Windows."

He stared at the missions posted on the mission hall.

None of them had anything to do with a Shadow Window.

"Not a single Shadow Window mission in months.

"Of course, it never comes when I need it to."

Neo clicked his tongue.

There were Shadow Windows all over the continent.

However, the academy was not given the contract to close them.

"I guess I need to join an adventurer party that is planning on entering a Shadow Window and go with them.

"Or….."

He could be in the right place at the right time.

Making the choice, Neo took all the missions related to the Labyrinth.

There weren't many since a lot of students took those missions and planned to complete them during the breaks.

"Sir, you can't take an SS-rank mission. Your team does not qualify for it."

"It's okay. Give me the rest of the missions."

While the SS-rank Labyrinth mission had bountiful rewards, Neo could not wait long enough to get the qualifications for it.
