Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 396

"I was just asking."

Percieval stared at him.

He seemed to doubt whether Neo would truly work with them.

Silence settled between them for a few moments.

"What is your mission, Neo?" Olivia questioned, and continued the conversation naturally.

"Blood Sea War is going to happen within a few years. Our continent will be invaded by monsters of Tartarus.

"My mission is to delay the war and to stop it from happening if possible," Neo said.

For a moment, he wondered if the others would catch his lie.

Sphinx was no selfless being who would want to protect Luminera after all.

Thankfully, it seemed they were used to Sphinx assigning them strange missions.

They did not question the authenticity of Neo’s words.

"Blood Sea War…"

Olivia’s gaze clouded with emotion.

She clenched her fists as if struggling to hold back words.

In the end, she remained silent.

"How many monsters will invade?" Nicolas asked.

"Thousands of them will come in the first wave. The weakest among them would be Paragon," Neo revealed.

His words were like a bucket of cold water poured over the group.

They couldn’t help but glance at each other.

"That means some of them will be Exalted," Percieval said, his usual smirk disappearing.

"Not some of them," Neo shook his head. "A lot of them will be Exalted."

All Senators—or Senior Templars if you would call them—were Exalted Demigods.

Including them, Luminera had around one hundred Exalted Demigods.

And yet, against the monsters of Tartarus, their numbers were nothing.

"This answers our question about the First Executioner," Percieval muttered. "If Tartarus is so strong, no wonder he hasn’t completed his mission yet."

The others nodded.

"The First Executioner? Who is he?" Neo questioned, his interest piqued.

By the way they spoke of him, this ’First Executioner’ seemed to be a formidable figure.

"Sword Saint, Kane Williams," Olivia answered. "He left the continent centuries ago. We only discovered a few hundred years back that he was in Tartarus. However, we don’t know what he’s doing there right now."

"…What did you say was the name of the Sword Saint?"

"Sword Saint, Kane Williams. Why are you so curious?"

"Nothing," Neo replied. "I just wanted to know our senior."

Neo leaned back in his chair.

’Kane is alive? How?’

’He had the Fate of the Fallen Star.’

’No matter what we—Daniel and I—did, Kane could never survive.’

’He would always perish after fighting a strong monster.’

His fingers drummed lightly against the armrest.

Although he had been disappeared from the past, Kane always managed to survive his first few encounters with Anomaly #79.

It was thanks to him awakening his Trait.

But he would die later.

Neo had given Daniel multiple quests to save Kane.

They had never borne any fruit.

It was as if the Fate was determined to kill him.

’The best ending for Kane was trapping him in the Eternal Dream, like what happened to him in my timeline.’

’In Daniel’s last timeline, he made sure it happened to Kane, and that Kane didn’t die.’

’Kane should be trapped in that dream.’

’How did he wake up?’

Perhaps another Demigod or Awakener had awakened a Trait capable of destroying Eternal Dreams.

Even a powerful Demigod, at Peak Paragon or Exalted, could shatter those dreams—even if they did not have a Trait that worked specifically against them.

Eternal Dreams were created using a device found inside a Window.

In the past, no one could wake up from them.

But maybe that changed in the future.

’Kane is alive.’

A surge of excitement pulsed through Neo’s veins.
