Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 386

"Correct your mistakes by doing what? What sort of genius plan do you have now?

"I bet it’s something extremely dangerous again."

Neo was about to reveal his deal with the Sphinx when screens appeared before him.

[No one should know you work for me.]

He wanted to question if the principal knew about it, why was not Amelia allowed.

But he knew Sphinx wouldn’t answer him.

"Why are you silent? Did I hit the nail on the head?" Amelia scoffed.

"You are right. It is something dangerous."

"Neo, then you should know that I won’t—"

"But it’s our only choice. Elizabeth’s soul has been corrupted by Void, and if we don’t do anything, she would die a True Death."

"And you don’t want that?" Amelia replied. "You, the heir of Death, a person with high mastery of Death, is worried about someone dying?

"That’s the same as saying a high-mastery Water element user is afraid of water," Amelia said.

"Yes, I don’t want that.

"I don’t think Death’s a bad thing. Not if the person had lived a happy life and died a peaceful death.

"But both of us know Elizabeth’s life was far from ’happy,’ and her death isn’t something we can call peaceful," Neo replied. "I want to make her happy. It’s the only way I can correct my mistakes."

Amelia’s expression twisted.

Her fists clenched tightly, and the knuckles turned white.

She had a lot to say, but she held back.

Although the principal had kept the truth of Elizabeth’s actual condition from Amelia, she had an inkling about it.

Neo’s words confirmed the horrible truth.

’I hate this.’

Amelia’s nails dug into her palms, leaving small crescent-shaped marks.

All she could do was depend on others to save her family.

The thought filled her with helplessness and rage.

"Amelia—"

"Do whatever you want."

Amelia stood up and left the cafeteria.

Her steps were hurried yet heavy.

The slight tremble in her shoulders revealed her inner emotions.

Neo remained seated for a few seconds before he stood up.

There was no time to waste.

Elizabeth didn’t have long to live. He could think about Amelia’s words after he had saved Elizabeth.

He placed Elizabeth carefully in his Shadow Space.

The shadowy tendrils enveloped her, and pulled her into the safe confines of his hidden domain.

Meeting with Sphinx was his next step.

"You took an awful lot of time. Time we – you – don’t have," the Sphinx said as Neo entered its chamber.

The chamber was vast and dark.

Like always, a table sat in the center with two chairs.

Sphinx, in the faceless body, occupied the first chair.

"What do you mean by that?" Neo asked, although he knew what the Sphinx was talking about.

"Elizabeth will die in 20 days."

"How do I save her?"

It was his way of saying he had accepted the Sphinx’s request.

"Let’s talk about your task first."

The Sphinx snapped its fingers.

The sound echoed through the chamber, and a giant 3D hologram appeared in the air.

The hologram depicted a scene of the future: the Apocalypse, where Blood Beasts, monstrous creatures from the Blood Sea, attacked the Luminera continent.

"I told you these monsters come from another place, not from the Blood Sea. Do you remember that?"

"I do."

"These monsters come from another World that exists on the Blood Sea," the Sphinx explained.

"The Blood Sea exists in multiple Worlds and dimensions, is what everyone thinks.

"But it’s the opposite.

"Multiple Worlds and dimensions float on the Blood Sea. Our World is one of those Worlds, so is the Underworld," the Sphinx said.
