Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 276

39 years later, Savage Expanse.

The barren landscape stretched endlessly, marked by jagged cliffs and scorched earth.

The air shimmered with faint traces of mana, creating a disconcerting hum that resonated in Emma's ears.

Ash clouds loomed overhead and casted an ominous shadow over the thousands of awakeners gathered below.

"Dammit."

Emma bit her nails as her gaze darted over the assembled forces.

Her brows furrowed as she scanned the faces of the awakeners geared up for battle.

Their armor glinted faintly in the dull light and they had grim expressions.

Today, Typhaon would wake up.

Everyone had been preparing for this day for decades.

The tension in the air was palpable, broken only by the occasional clang of weapons and nervous murmurs among the awakeners.

But…

"Do they think this is a joke?" Emma hissed under her breath.

Typhaon's root had been burrowing deeper each day.

The Father of Anomalies drained the energy from the earth itself.

This relentless absorption allowed it to grow at a pace far faster than any awakener could ever hope to match.

Its growth pace was second to none.

Despite the colossal threat, Emma was the only heavy hitter in today's roster.

She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms as a sense of frustration surged through her. _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}

However, she knew it was no one's fault.

Poseidon was with the Titans, holding back the hordes of monsters pouring out from the Bermuda Triangle.

Apparently, the place had a portal connection to another planet.

The planet's environment was not inhabitable for humans and only powerful bloodthirsty monsters existed there.

The monsters from there had been relentlessly invading Earth.

Zeus was on the moon.

The damned natural satellite had gained a mind of its own due to the evolution caused by mana.

Zeus had to go there and stop it before it decided to crash into Earth and end everything.

Gaia was preoccupied with the World Core Synchronization. It had reached its final stages, and Gaia couldn't leave it unattended.

Ares and Athena were locked in combat with the Five Emperors—a rebellious group of awakeners led by five powerful leaders.

They worshiped Typhaon and sought to sabotage the Awakener Association's efforts to defeat the monster.

Today, it was just Emma, Apollo, and Jack against Typhaon together with a few hundred awakeners.

The other awakeners were far from Emma or Jack's level and they job was only to deal with the minions of Typhaon.

The plan was simple: hold back Typhaon until reinforcements arrived.

Once Ares and Athena defeated the Five Emperors and Zeus finished his task on the moon, they would rush to the Savage Expanse to assist in taking down the Father of Anomalies.

Jack—now Erebus—was a reinforcement sent by the Titans.

If the Awakener Association couldn't hold their ground, more reinforcements would follow.

Still, it was reckless, bordering on suicidal, to leave only Emma, Apollo, and Jack to face Typhaon.

But there was no other choice. Every powerful awakener was tied up elsewhere, fighting battles just as critical.

"The more I think about it, the more it pisses me off. Why is Apollo still not here!?" Emma's voice cut through the tense silence, making several nearby awakeners flinch.

They exchanged nervous glances and whispered amongst themselves.

"Hey, do something, or we'll get scolded because Sir Apollo isn't here."

"What am I supposed to do!?"

"Guys, just remind her Sir Erebus is coming. That might improve her mood."

While they deliberated on how to pacify Emma, she suddenly raised her device and began speaking into it.

Her voice was sharp, and edged with irritation.

"Apollo, where are you!?"

It seemed Apollo had finally picked her call.

She cocked her head, her expression shifting from anger to confusion as she listened to Apollo's reply.

"You aren't coming…?"

Her voice faltered, and disbelief flashed across her eyes.

"Neo will handle Typhaon…? That guy has been missing for four decades! What do you mean—Hey, don't hang up!"

Emma's voice rose in exasperation, but the line went dead before she could say more.

Her hands trembled as she lowered the device, her face contorted in fury.
