Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 358

Neo had a dumbfounded expression.

"She wants to kill me?"

"Yes," Leonora replied with a bitter smile. "She thinks you killed Kendrick and wants revenge."

"But I reincarnated him. That was what he wanted too." Stay tuned for updates on freewebnovel

"Gwen doesn’t know that," Leonora said softly.

In Gwen’s eyes, Neo had killed Kendrick brutally.

Her anger was justified in her mind.

Leonora noticed Neo’s troubled expression.

She reached out and patted his back sympathetically.

"It’s better if you don’t meet Gwen now. She… well, she is quite motivated about her revenge."

Neo sighed and nodded slowly.

"I doubt she will listen to you if you tell her that you didn’t kill Kendrick," Leonora added.

"That sounds about right," Neo admitted.

Leonora immediately spoke enthusiastically, trying to lighten the mood before it could worsen.

"Don’t worry! I will try to tell her that you might’ve helped Kendrick pass on, instead of killing him.

"It’s better to change her mind over time than to try to do it abruptly."

"Yeah…"

It seemed he would have to postpone meeting Gwen and asking her if she wanted to be resurrected.

Listening to Leonora, though, made it clear Gwen had no intention of resurrection—revenge or not.

The duo talked for a long while.

A faint chill lingered in the air, making Leonora pull her cloak tighter around herself as she laughed softly.

She began to narrate her experiences in the Underworld.

"Underworld was quite surprising," she said.

Her voice was light and melodious.

"The amount of dark energies in the Underworld is too high.

"Anyone who comes here turns into a monster.

"Only those with high mastery in Dark-type elements or Holy or Light elements are somewhat immune to monsterization."

Neo glanced at her horns with a side eye while she was not paying attention.

"I do have the Holy element, but when I came here, my mastery was barely Apprentice rank.

"If I didn’t find a unique breathing technique, I might’ve become a monster by now," she explained.

"Unique breathing technique?" Neo questioned.

"Yes," Leonora replied. "My breathing technique turns all the dark-type elements I breathe into physical substance. These horns…"

She gestured to the curved, black horns atop her head.

"These are the impurities everyone breathes in the Underworld. I just turned them into these."

Neo was impressed.

It seemed a Grim Reaper had recognized her talent and decided to invest in her. They must’ve given the breathing technique to her.

"Seems like you are lucky. It wouldn’t take long before a Grim Reaper takes you in as their disciple."

"That reminds me…"

She looked him in the eye.

"How did you become a Grim Reaper? I thought Grim Reapers all had Expert mastery in their main elements at the minimum?"

The last meeting between Leonora and Neo was a few weeks ago.

Back then, Neo’s rank had been an Awakened Demigod.

On average, elemental mastery was harder to gain than ranking up.

By the time one reached Expert mastery in an element, they would typically be Paragon Demigods.

But Neo was only an Awakened Demigod. Mythic, if Leonora gave him the benefit of the doubt.

Neo’s lips curved into a slight grin.

"I’m an Empyrean now."

"That explains how you are… Wait, you are what rank?"

"Empyrean Demigod."

Her eyes widened momentarily before she looked him up and down.

Then, with a sigh, she waved a hand dismissively.

"Forget it. I don’t want to know how you did it. I feel like it will give me a headache."

Neo chuckled at her very "Leonora-like" response.

They talked a bit more before he decided it was time to leave.

"See you later," he said.

"Bye." Leonora waved, her horns catching the light once more as she smiled. "And don’t worry about Gwen. I’ll talk to her."

Neo nodded and left the Solace City.

The cool breeze of the forest greeted him as he stepped out of the city’s gates.

The dense canopy of leaves overhead cast dappled shadows on the dirt path below.

The faint chirping of birds echoed in the distance, mingling with the rustling of leaves.

"Now that I’m done with this, it’s time I focus on my Life and Holy elements," Neo muttered to himself.

He walked through the forest, deep in thought.

"Not just my elements, I need to rank up my traits, train to increase my stats, and focus on other elements too."
