Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 224

'Is that Jack?'

'If that's true, that means Jack lost control over Darkness and…'

Emma noticed his inner turmoil.

"You know that Necromancer in Spain?" she asked.

"…" Neo remained silent before he spoke, "When did that Necromancer appear?"

"Seven—six months ago."

Neo closed his eyes.

'The timing matches with when I arrived in.this world.'

'It's Jack.'

He clenched his fists.

'Fuck.'

"The Necromancer is alive, for now at least."

Emma's voice snapped him out of his thoughts.

"What is happening right now in Spain?" Neo asked.

"I told you. The Necromancer is going berserk there. I've sent my clone to stop the situation from worsening.

"But my clone is being overpowered. The Necromancer is growing stronger at an alarming pace.

"After we leave the city with you, we are going to Spain to take care of the Necromancer."

"You will kill him?"

"Him?" Emma noticed the nuance behind Neo's words. "You know the Necromancer?"

"I do."

"That's unfortunate. We will subdue the Necromancer. If we can take him alive, we will do that. Though he will be punished for the crimes he has committed."

Neo didn't need to ask what crimes she was talking about.

"I wouldn't recommend going rogue," Emma suddenly spoke. "I don't know your trait. But going by physical stats, you are B-rank at best. You'll die a needless death if you try to protect your friend."

"…"

Neo remained silent.

Emma frowned and spoke,

"Anyway, let's focus on training for now."

"You are still going to teach me? Aren't you worried about me going rogue?"

"Why would I be worried?" Emma smirked.

"I'm teaching you Incantations only. Even Zeus hasn't surpassed me in Incantations."

"…"

Neo became silent again.

He didn't want to talk.

Not now, after he received the news about Jack.

"Aren't you going to ask why I'm confident in my Incantation skills?" Emma initiated the talk. Find more to read at freewebnovel

She was trying to lighten the mood.

Neo shook his head.

"Not really."

His tone was monotonous, and his gaze remained unfocused.

"Neo Hargraves."

A powerful aura erupted from Emma.

"I'm using my precious time to help you train. If you have no intention of paying attention, say so. I don't want to waste my time either."

"…"

Neo pursed his lips.

"I'll focus on training."

He pushed the brooding thoughts to the back of his head and looked Emma in the eye.

"What are you going to teach me?"

"True Incantations."

"True… Incantations?"

"Yes, the Incantations you are using are based on the Harmony pathway. They were created for normal awakeners.

"But True Incantations work on the Willpower pathway."

"Pathway?"

"Yes, pathways. I used that word since it sounds fancy."

"…"

Neo nodded with a weirded-out expression.

Maybe it was because the anime industry had hit its peak before the apocalypse, the names of techniques of awakeners were often grand and not related to techniques at all.
