Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 218

Neo's eyes wandered to other sections in the status.

The sub-ranks of mastery were: Lowest, Low, Mid, High, and Peak.

He was able to see them after the interface update, and it made things easier.

"I should check my Spells and Incantations too."

[Necrotic Touch]

Element: Death

Rank: Tremor

Mastery: Apprentice (Peak)

[Ocean's Embrace]

Element: Water

Rank: Tremor

Mastery: Apprentice (High)

"It's as I expected.

"My mastery in

Ocean's Embrace

is lower than

Necrotic Touch

mastery, even though I use

Ocean's Embrace

more.

"This makes it clear. Elemental mastery affects the growth of Spell Mastery too."

Neo's mood became better when he saw his

Necrotic Touch

mastery.

The terror-ranked spell he received from Barbatos was about to rank up.

[Essence Breath]

Element: None

Rank: Tremor

Mastery: Apprentice (Peak)

"…"

He wanted to sigh.

Essence Breath

Spell was only a bit away from ranking up.

However, he couldn't use the Spell inside the Shadow World since there was no pure Divine Energy.

It meant he couldn't rank up the Spell unless he left the Shadow World.

"Well, any good news is better than bad news. I should be happy the Spell is near rank up."

The gap between each mastery rank for Spells was determined by their Spell rank.

A Whisper-ranked Spell, after reaching Adept mastery, would grow 20% stronger.

An Echo-ranked Spell, after reaching Adept mastery, would grow 40% stronger.

Similarly, a Tremor-ranked Spell would grow 100% stronger.

The increase in strength was both quantitative and qualitative.

[Rewind Enchantment]

Element: Time

Rank: Resonance

Mastery: Apprentice (Low)

"This is as expected," he muttered and picked a piece of rock.

He crushed the rock into fine dust with ease.

Moments later, a green glow covered his hand.

A magic circle appeared above his palm.

Neo watched with interest as the time was rewound, and dust glued back to form the rock.

"This simple Spell took fucking seven months, dammit."

His low talent was a reason behind his slow learning speed.

But there was another reason it took him months to learn a Resonance-ranked Spell.

Time Manifestation.

He had learned about it in the Academy from taking extra classes.

There were different manifestations of Time:

[River], [Sand], [Clock], [Lightning], [Wheel], and his [Caterpillar].

Each manifestation had a drawback and an advantage.

Someone with the River manifestation would find it easier to learn Spells that sent them to the past or to the future.

However, they would have difficulty in learning Spells that stopped Time or did something similar.

After checking his Spells, Neo read the details of his Incantations.

[O Death, Be My Hands, Crush My Enemies]
