Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 3

The sacrifice had to be a demigod, with the blood of a powerful god if possible.

Divine water was harder to get than a living sacrifice.

It was a nationally guarded secret and only the strongest demigods had access to it.

Getting it was impossible for normal demigods unless they read the novel like Neo.

He checked the map on the Akashic Record(Internet).

"Dammit, why is the Okahama Beach so far?"

Neo took a bullet train.

It took him eight hours to reach the city where the Okahama Beach was located.

After getting off on the station, he visited the beach and brought scuba diving gears from a rental shop.

Before diving, he took a short break.

"I feel like shit."

He was tired.

His body was too weak.

Just travelling was enough to make him feel like he ran a 100Km marathon.

He wished he could get someone else to bring him the Divine Water.

But the place where he was going to get it was a secret that, if leaked, could start war between nations.

Divine Water was too precious.

Everyone wanted to get it as much of it as possible.

"Okay, I'm ready."

Neo took the boat to the location he remembered.

He wore the oxygen mask and dove into the water.

The sea was neither cold nor hot.

He could see schools of fishes.

Some fishes were bright in colors, some had stripes while some were large and moved alone.

Since he was near the beach, he reached at the seabed fairly quickly.

He began his search for the sea cave.

By the time he found the entrance to the sea cave, he felt he was about to die from the exhaustion.

After making sure the entrance was not marked, he entered the narrow space in-between the coral reefs.

It was tight.

If he had been a bit less thin, he would've not been able to enter it.

Neo arrived inside a water cave.

There was air inside the cave so he removed the respirator and inhaled.

The cave was dimly lit thanks to the glowing funguses. It had a small pond in the centre.

"Looks like the mermaids haven't found this place yet."

He knew it when he saw the cave's entrance unguarded, but seeing the empty cave confirmed his suspicions.

In the novel, this cave would've been found by the mermaid kingdom and become a part of their property. _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

He did not know when it was supposed to happen.

This place came into play when a villain, gravely injured by the protagonist, came across it by luck, and killed the guard mermaids to use the Divine Water to heal and strengthen himself.

The villain wreaked havoc on the mermaids' country and was later defeated by the protagonist.

Due to the incident, the protagonist was able to grow closer to the princess of country of mermaids.

"Now all of this Divine Water is mine."

Neo did not feel guilty for stealing the Divine Water.

No Divine Water = No way for the villain to save himself = The mermaid kingdom is not destroyed
