Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 190

"It is one of the weapons demigods use to create Aura Blade.

"Neo, can you demonstrate your Aura Blade with this sword?"

"Understood."

Neo nodded.

He still felt weird seeing Henry talk normally.

But he ignored it.

Or tried to do so atleast.

He took the sword from Henry's hand.

Obitus didn't complain.

It was trying to stay quiet, believing complaining too much would annoy Neo.

Neo could sense how much it hated the him touching other weapons – swords especially.

If he were to put Obitus' feelings in words, he was a husband who was spending a night with another woman.

He spoke a few words of comfort to Obitus.

After calming down the Sword Spirit, he channeled his Aura of Death and Darkness into the sword.

The blade started to crack.

Neo realized it would break if he did not stop.

"Don't hold back," Henry said.

Neo nodded and slashed.

The sword crumbled away before it could touch the adamantium block.

"There you have it."

Henry turned to the audience.

"Our company's product is already well known in the market for it's durability.

"There is no need to explain that it's one of the best products with a good cost-to-performance ratio.

"Yet, you saw how easily it broke when the weapon is pushed beyond its limit."

One of the reporters raised his hand.

"Yes, you can speak."

"Usn't it too much to use Neo Hargraves as a benchmark?"

The reporter continued.

"He defeated the Minotaur. Even if he is a Mythic rank demigod, he is in the upper bracket among them.

"The standard weapons are used by new Grade 5 Mythic demigods up to Grade 3 Mythic demigods.

"They aren't strong enough to destroy the weapons with their Auras," the reporter explained.

"Miss…"

"Eli Spencer from BigNews Daily."

"Miss Eli, you say the demigods aren't strong enough to destroy a weapon like Neo did.

"What about the monsters?

"A Grade 3 monster whose stats are geared towards attack will do major damage to the standard weapons in combat.

"From our calculations, the amount an average demigod spends within five years to repair their weapon is enough to buy a new standard weapon.

"A standard weapon of Hargraves Corporation, while cheap, still costs years of savings on the demjgods' part.

"This is same as saying they are burning through their savings to repair their weapons."

Henry added,

"If this continues, the demigods will never be able to buy another gear.

"And without new gear, they won't grow stronger, they won't be able to defeat more monsters, and they won't earn more money.

"They'll be stuck at their current level for their whole lives.

"Hargraves Corporation doesn't want that. Our goal is to create affordable and powerful weapons that anyone can use and help them grow stronger"

The reporter jotted down his answer and returned to his seat.

More reporters posed their questions.

Henry answered them patiently.

After a while, he spoke,

"Now, we'll present the Soul Weapons."

The crew members brought a suitcase to the stage.

They opened it and presented it to Neo.

Neo took out the sword from within it.

'Obitus, just wait for a few seconds.'

The sword didn't complain.

But he reassured it nonetheless.

"Begin the demonstration."

Neo poured his Divine Energy into the blade swiftly.

He could not hear any faint murmurs from within the sword like he could hear from Obitus.

Even though both were Soul Series weapons, they were qualitatively different.
