Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 26

"As for the reward for saving me…"

She looked at Amelia, who had fallen asleep.

"I can't give it you right now. You should know the reason since you want the weapon."

The replica of Poseidon's Trident was a powerful weapon.

But there were weapons stronger than it.

The reason the trident was special was due to its Immortal Slayer trait.

It could kill Immortals beings like Neo.

He didn't need the weapon because it was powerful.

By taking it himself, he wanted to make sure nobody else got their hands on it.

After all, when the news of him being Hades' kin and an Immortal spreads, the world powers would mark him as a potentially dangerous demigod, and look for methods to contain him in case he went berserk or rouge.

It was not just him.

A counter strategy was created for every powerful demigod and demigods with powerful bloodlines.

It was a necessary practice.

Because it wasn't just once or twice a demigod gave into the temptations of Outer Gods and switched sides.

"Don't worry. I won't break my promise. I'll give the weapon to you.

"It's currently sealed under the Mount Columbus. I need time to break the seal. Since I have to visit the Academy, I'll bring it to you there."

Elizabeth had been prepared for her death.

She made sure to hide a dangerous weapon like the Poseidon's Trident.

It couldn't be allowed to fall in wrong hands or the damage would be catastrophic.

"I understand," Neo said.

He couldn't wait to get it.

They took another day of rest and left for the city.

After arriving on a secluded part of Okahama Beach, Amelia and Neo got off the dragon.

"I'll return after leaving Gerna somewhere safe," Elizabeth told them. "You two go to the Academy. We'll meet there."

She was probably going to collect the trident.

After she left, Neo and Amelia walked down the beach together.

They remained silent.

Neo stopped after an hour long walk.

He was sweating heavily and feeling tired.

The whole event with the Mermaid Country took a lot out of him and training a Tremor-ranked Spell after that broke the camel's back.

"Can we rest…?" He asked while he sat on the roadside bench.

Amelia stared at him and left without speaking anything.

"…?"

Was she going to the Academy alone?

"Maybe I underestimated how angry she was with me," Neo smiled bitterly.

Then again, if he had a chance, he would do everything he did back then and more.

Fifteen minutes later, when he was about to stand, Amelia returned.

She passed him a canned drink.

"It's an energy drink," she told him. "It should help you."

'Did she leave to bring this?'

They were on a secluded road that ran next to the shore.

Amelia must've gone quite far to buy the drink.

Maybe his surprise showed on his face, because she said,

"I'm not angry with you. I don't like what happened in the cave, and that's all. I can never hate you after all what you did for mom. I'm not that stupid."

Her words were nice.

But the way she repeatedly said she wasn't angry with him….

Yeah, he didn't believe her.

Neo decided to watch his back during the nights, lest he got stabbed by her.

"We should move—"

Neo's phone suddenly rang and he couldn't complete his words.

He took it out.

The number was from an unknown caller.

He might've ignored in normal circumstances.
