Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 401

"That was very encouraging. Thank you."

Kane laughed when he heard Neo’s reply.

He stood up, stretching his arms above his head before rolling his shoulders.

"Percival, I don’t know how, but make your breakthrough today. I will start training you and Neo from tomorrow.

"Chances are low that it will be enough to prepare you two for the Grand Expedition, but we need to do our best."

Kane stretched again, letting out a tired yawn.

"What about the rest of us?" Olivia asked, her arms crossed.

"Do whatever you want. Just don’t get eaten by some hungry monster. We have a lot of those here." Kane said before making his way toward the door.

After a moment of contemplation, Percival decided to go out and make his breakthrough.

Olivia and Nicolas followed him, intending to protect him during his breakthrough.

Neo was the only one left behind.

He focused on creating Essence.

Time passed slowly, and soon the deep orange of the evening arrived.

Kane returned, holding two steaming cups of coffee. The rich aroma filled the room as he placed one beside Neo and sat behind him.

"Can I be a bit rude?" Kane asked, taking a sip from his cup.

"Go ahead."

"How are you using World Energy?"

Neo raised a brow.

"You can tell it’s World Energy?"

"I can. It’s not like you are trying to hide it, and it’s too pure to be the energy of an Awakener." Kane stared at Neo, his expression unreadable. "What are you?"

Neo remained silent.

"I suppose you wouldn’t answer me so easily." Kane exhaled through his nose, then reached into his coat and pulled out a thin book.

He placed it on the table between them.

Neo glanced at it.

"What is it?"

"Energy Concealment Spell. It’s useful for you since you are going to join the Grand Expedition soon.

"You wouldn’t want to reveal you can use World Energy to countless Darkness users, would you?

"Who knows, they might attack you to devour whatever is allowing you to use World Energy."

"I thought the Expedition was made up of righteous people," Neo asked with furrowed brows.

Kane laughed, shaking his head.

"You make good jokes.

"The people here work together in only three cases: Their interests align, the top brass of the Dragon Clans are forcing them, or they are planning to backstab someone."

He leaned forward, his fingers drumming lightly on the wooden table.

"The Expedition members are all from the Seven Dragon Clans, but you can never be too safe. Anyone can be overtaken by greed."

Neo looked at the spell book, then back at Kane.

After a moment of contemplation, he picked it up and flipped through the pages.

He confirmed that the Spell was genuine, and stored the book in his Shadow Space.

"I’m a Heavenbreaker."

"I see."

"You don’t look surprised."

"Well, I expected it the moment I saw you using World Energy. Something like that is only possible if you are a Heavenbreaker, or if you have the blessing of a World directly.

"Your World Energy felt different from Moon’s, and Earth would never give its World Energy’s direct access to anyone. The only choice left was you being a Heavenbreaker," Kane explained.

Neo stared at Kane for a few seconds. _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}
