Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 400

His answer made all of them frown.

The breakfast continued, and Kane made small talk, explaining about the situation of Tartarus to them.

"Everyone in Tartarus, except those who were born here, has a connection to their own world’s World Core.

"Do you know what that means?" he asked.

"They don’t care if Tartarus’ World Core is destroyed?" Percival said.

"You are correct. Everyone here hates being in Tartarus. Most of them are looking for a way out. The easiest option is to—"

"Destroy Tartarus’ World Core," Olivia completed his words. "Then what about those who were born here? Their Core would be linked to Tartarus’ World Core. They must want to protect Tartarus at all costs."

"I didn’t expect you guys to know so much about World Cores." Kane joked, then explained. "Wars happened in the past between both sides.

"Some wanted to find and destroy Tartarus’ World Core and escape this hellhole, others wanted to stop them.

"It wasn’t until the Seven Dragon Clans appeared that a ceasefire happened between both sides."

Kane chewed his food before he added,

"The current aim of everyone in Tartarus is to find its World Core. After that, they will force the World Core to send them back."

The Executioners frowned.

The way Kane worded his explanation made one thing very clear.

"No one knows where the World Core is?" Olivia asked, hoping otherwise, or else their mission’s difficulty would spike.

"Unfortunately, no." Kane shook his head. "The World Core hid itself to protect its life. I don’t think I need to explain why it did so."

Everyone nodded.

Since Tartarus kept its inhabitants locked inside, there was no surprise they wanted to escape, and planned to destroy the Core to achieve that.

The breakfast ended.

Ava took the dishes to the kitchen.

There, she used a Spell to clean them instantly before bringing dessert for the ’guests.’

"What about our tasks?" Percival questioned.

"Remember what I said about not knowing the location of the World Core?

"Actually, we do have a rough idea where it is."

Kane stood up and went inside the room.

He brought out pen and paper and drew a diagram on it.

"Abyss of Nightmares. It’s hiding in there."

"What is that?"

Seeing Olivia’s frown, Kane explained more.

"Think of it as a dungeon, but on a larger scale. It’s bigger than entire worlds and with multiple floors."

"Dungeon?"

"Oh, my bad, I forgot you guys wouldn’t know what a dungeon is." Kane let out a chuckle. "During my time, almost everyone knew what dungeons were."

Only Neo understood that Kane was talking about dungeons that appeared in light novels and anime.

"Think of it as a place where mob monsters, extremely powerful monsters, and natural treasures that are born due to high concentration of energy are found," Kane explained.

He drew seven emblems around the diagram.

"You guys are in luck. The Ninth Grand Expedition will enter the Abyss of Nightmares in a week.

"If you would’ve been a bit more late, you would have to enter that place alone."

Grand Expeditions were formed by combining the most powerful forces of the Seven Dragon Clans.

Their goal was to enter the Abyss of Nightmares, map it, record its environment, and, their main goal was to locate the World Core hiding within.

All past eight Grand Expeditions had met a dreadful end.

While Ava was taking away the plates used for desserts, she mumbled to herself, "Helping the Expedition? I shouldn’t have expected anything better from people who willingly entered Tartarus." _{freewebnøvel.com}
