Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 300

His voice was low yet filled with warmth.

"I can assure you, your will to continue forward is unmatched.

"You might not be the most talented student I’ve had, but I’ve never seen someone with a more indomitable spirit.

"I’m proud of you, Neo."

Professor Daniel hovered his hand behind Neo’s nape, and a faint glow of Divine Energy began to emanate from his fingertips.

The air around them seemed to still, the distant chatter of other students fading away as if the world itself was holding its breath.

The energy crawled over Neo’s back, burning his skin.

It traced a pattern of a dragon biting its tail, forming a loop.

Neo frowned.

His brow furrowed at the unfamiliar sensation.

"What did you do?" he asked.

"You’ll know when the time comes," Professor Daniel replied.

He stopped infusing Neo with Divine Energy.

Sweat glistened on his forehead, and he wiped it away with a tired hand before placing it gently over Neo’s head.

The academy’s stone walls loomed in the distance.

Their shadows stretched long as the day neared its end.

"This might be the last time we’ll meet. As a parting gift, I’ll read your future. Do you want me to do it?"

"Why are you even asking about this?" Neo replied.

"Because some people hate knowing their future. They think predicting it will set it in stone," Professor Daniel said quietly.

"Sure. Go ahead."

Professor Daniel closed his eyes.

A faint glow lit behind his eyelids, as if his irises were alight with an inner fire.

The world around them seemed to fade.

He looked into Neo’s future.

The scene around Professor Daniel changed.

He saw a sky covered with ashes.

Purple cracks ran across the land, and maggots were present everywhere he turned.

"Where is Neo?" Professor Daniel muttered.

While the apocalyptic scene was horrifying, Professor Daniel thought it must be a vision of Neo crossing a rift and entering another world.

Such tasks were normal for Templars.

Sometimes they would encounter broken worlds, sometimes resourceful worlds.

Some worlds were filled with savages and monsters, and very rarely Templars would encounter peaceful civilizations.

The scene before Professor Daniel’s eyes changed again.

The vision of the future showed him snippets of Neo’s future, instead of one detailed scene.

The new scene was similar yet different.

Broken mountains were present all around.

Instead of forests and bushes, maggots writhed on top of each other.

Something flashed, and the mountains were cleaved into two.

A ’monster’ with long black hair, a body covered in scars, and carrying an ominous weapon appeared.

It was fighting against a powerful swarm of maggots.

The ’monster’ suddenly stopped.

It looked towards Professor Daniel.

As if it recognized him, it threw the maggots and moved towards Professor Daniel at a mind-blowing speed.

"What…?"

"Are you stranded on some remote planet?" Professor Daniel asked. _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}
