Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 350

Arthur flinched as he caught sight of Neo’s face.

Neo ignored him and spoke to Felix.

"Felix, I think you understand why True Soul Weapons are precious?" he asked with a serious tone.

"I do!" Felix exclaimed, still excited.

She failed to notice the coldness in Neo’s gaze as he continued.

"That’s why you need to prove to me you are worthy of that weapon."

"Huh?" Felix blinked in confusion.

Her excitement faltered.

"Venyth can make a beggar into a king.

"I can’t waste on someone who has no drive to improve," Neo said.

Felix stared at him, stunned.

Neo, of course, understood how wrong his words were.

Mars had bought Venyth with money and given it to Felix.

The weapon belonged to Felix and Felix only.

Neo had no control over its ownership.

However…

’True Soul Weapons, especially Venyth, are dangerous,’ he thought grimly. ’Either Felix conquers it, or Venyth will turn Felix into her puppet.’

Neo had to force Felix to grow stronger.

That was the only way Felix would not fall to Venyth’s mind manipulation.

"What are you… trying to say?" Felix questioned.

"The academy’s ranking tournament will happen soon.

"You got second rank last time thanks to Arthur’s help. Maintain that rank in this tournament without any help," Neo stated.

Felix chuckled nervously.

She stopped when she realized Neo wasn’t joking.

"Me? Rank 2? That’s impossible—"

"True Soul Weapons are technically Spirits."

Neo continued.

"But unlike normal Spirits that die with their users, True Soul Weapons don’t.

"Of course, True Soul Weapons will follow you to the Underworld too, but they won’t get erased if you die in the Underworld again.

"I can take the weapon from you there."

"What….?"

Felix struggled to process his words.

People could die in the Underworld?

Neo could go to the Underworld?!

Her mind raced as a nervous smile crept onto her lips.

"Are you saying you will kill me to take Venyth’s ownership?" she asked hesitantly.

"I’m glad you catch on quick," Neo replied in a voice devoid of emotions.

"That has to be a joke—"

"Wait!"

Sean suddenly jumped between Neo and Felix, forcing a distance between Neo and Felix.

His wide eyes darted towards Neo’s hand resting on his sword.

Sean turned to Felix with a desperate expression.

"Say yes."

"Huh? Why do you look afraid?" Felix asked.

"Say yes!" Sean shouted, grabbing her shoulders.

Felix flinched at his sudden forcefulness.

"Are you okay—"

"I just regressed!"

Sean’s breathing was ragged.

His chest heaved as his bloodshot eyes darted between Neo and Felix.

His voice cracked with urgency.

"Please say yes, or…."

Felix froze.

She understood the meaning of his words.

Her eyes slowly moved towards Neo’s hand, still resting on the hilt of his sword.

The glint of metal sent a chill down her spine.
