Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 4

Suddenly its voice turned chaotic, like the screeching of a banshee.

"Who dares treat the Child of Monarch in such manner?"

"Do tell me their names. Even if they arrive at the River 10,000 years later, we will remember you, O Child of Monarch, and make them pay for what they did to you."

The Grim Reaper sounded angry on Neo's behalf.

It was a good sign.

Hopefully, the Grim Reaper was biased in Neo's favor.

"No need to worry about. Let's carry on with the ritual."

"If you wish so, O Child of Monarch, we shall begin the ritual."

"But if you wish for revenge just say a word. We shall make their deaths painful beyond imagination."

The voice reverberated through Neo's spine.

"Then, in accordance to the promise made 500 years ago, you, who have been sacrificed and carry the aroma of The One, should be taken in exchange for another soul to be revived."

"However, the exchange must be fair, both souls must be similar, and we do not take any responsibility for the body of the revived soul."

"If the vessel is damaged, the revived soul would die as soon as it is revived."

"Do you still wish to carry on with the ritual?"

Neo nodded.

His body was not damaged so he could be revived as long as he returned quickly.

"Tell me, who is the soul dost wish to revive?"

"Mine." _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}

Suddenly, there was a short moment of silence.

"Pray tell again?"

"The soul I want to revive is mine. I am the sacrifice too. Is it against the rules?"

"….No. We do not think so."

Silence.

"…"

"…"

"What are you waiting for? Send me back."

"A-ah, please wait, O Child Of Monarch."

The sheer absurdity of the situation gave the Grim Reaper a pause.

"This has not happened before. While your words are not against the rules of the promise made 500 years ago, they seem… wrong. We shall confirm the next step of actions with the Monarch—"

"Huh? You are going to disturb the Great God Hades over such a small matter?"

Neo quickly spoke up.

The Great God of Hades, probably, like other Gods, saw other humans and his children as nothing more than his subjects.

Neo knew he was misusing a loophole in the revival ritual.

So…

If the Great God Hades knew what he was doing, he would refuse to revive him.

Neo had to stop the Grim Reaper from going to the Great God Hades.

"What is your job?"

"To help the souls cross the River."

"Yes, but that's not all."

"You are the trusted servant of the Great God Hades who was given an important job."

"If you are going to ask the Great God Hades for help in every little matter, what is the point of you being here?"
