Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 22

No matter how much Amelia tried to deny it, the truth was before her eyes.

Neo was dead after Clara transferred the curse to him, and her mother punished her siblings for the rebellion.

Hours passed.

Before long, Amelia stopped crying and remained motionless as she hugged her mom.

"I hate it…"

Amelia muttered.

"I hate Paul and Clara…

"I hate this country.

"I hate everyone who tried to kill you."

Her words were laced with malice and impure intentions.

"Stop it." Elizabeth spoke. "There is no need to take revenge."

"But—"

"I don't love this country anymore either. So, let's leave."

Amelia agreed to her suggestion.

But she wasn't satisfied leaving them alive after what they did to her mother.

She wanted to make them go through same, no, worse pain.

However, Amelia was weak.

Only her mother could punish the rebels and she had refused to do so.

So.

She would bide her time.

Until she was strong enough to crush this country and its people.

"When should we leave? And what about the international issues? Even if you step down, the major world powers won't accept your resignation without a proper reason."

"I know. That's why the Tyrant Queen must die today."

"…?"

"Follow me."

The Queen stood up with a stagger.

Amelia quickly moved and supported her.

"Thank you," as Elizabeth said, she flicked her finger and Neo's corpse floated behind her.

Amelia alternated her gaze between her mother and the corpse.

"We can't leave him here. It seems he resurrects in the same vessel."

After explaining, the Queen opened a hidden corridor inside the wall.

They moved through it and appeared on a hill far from the castle.

From there, the castle and the capital city of the island Mermaid Country could be seen clearly.

"The Queen went berserk and destroyed everything while killing herself in the chaos," Elizabeth said as she was supported by Amelia.

She raised her arm.

Her body quivered and a trail of blood left her lips.

As if pulling something, she brought her hand down.

In the distance, the Azure Spire Palace was flattened.

Amelia could not feel the tremors since she was too far from the Palace.

However, she could see the landscape undergoing a terrifying transformation with a single gesture of her mother.

The city sustained some damages and the palace was destroyed beyond recognition.

"With this, the Queen is dead—"

Elizabeth puked blood.

"Mom!"

"Don't worry. I just overexerted myself."

Elizabeth sat down on the grassy ground.

She could feel her consciousness slipping through her grasp.

"I'll take a short nap."

As her heavy eyelids closed, he saw Neo, who lay next to her.

Why hadn't he resurrected yet?

A few hours had gone by since he died.

Elizabeth couldn't help but worry if everything was alright.

…

Underworld

Neo wiped the sweat.

He stared at the corpses of Gulwaks scattered around.

"Splendid work, O Great Child of Monarch. You can rest now," the Grim Reaper said.

Neo suddenly lost the strength in his body and fell on his back.

Knowing he was safe, his body gave out.

His time in Underworld was almost up.

He didn't revive immediately after his death, as he knew there was going to be a lot of work in the world of living, and he did not want to deal with it, but training in Underworld was anything but easy.

'Quest,' he said in his mind.
