Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 402

"Wait, let me get this straight." Kane massaged his brows, half-shocked, half-confused. "You got affected by Void, which led to you gaining your Void affinity, and it probably reset your rank and everything.

"After that, you reached Paragon, became a Heavenbreaker. Somehow, you are walking on two paths of power. Not only that, you can use five elements to a sufficient degree?"

Kane didn’t know what to say.

He knew the Executioners chosen by Sphinx wouldn’t be normal, but Neo was above and beyond anything he could’ve imagined.

"You are right."

Neo’s nonchalant attitude made Kane smile bitterly.

He used to think he was a genius but meeting Neo was making him doubt that claim.

Shaking his head, he returned his focus to the safe and the blood vials.

He took out seven of them and gave them to Neo.

"Use Darkness to devour them. Ava will tell you when to do that."

"What are these?"

"Concentrated Bloodlines. Devouring them will allow you to use their skill temporarily.

"Since you can use five elements, I gave you five vials that will let you talk with elementals of your elements.

"As for the last two vials, they can let you talk with elementals of Void. You haven’t awakened that affinity, hence you need two vials to increase your perception of them."

Kane didn’t know about Neo’s Empathic Transcendence Trait.

His solution would work for normal demigods.

For Neo, it was a hundred times better.

It would increase his Trait’s effectiveness by several folds, even if temporarily.

"I would love to give you more, but those are the only skills I have for this task."

Kane and Neo returned to the main hall.

The wooden floor creaked beneath their steps.

"Ava! Come here!"

Ava arrived a few moments later.

"Is there anything you need, Master?"

Kane’s eyebrow twitched at the word ’Master’.

However, he didn’t point it out, having given up on correcting the way his daughter addressed him.

"Take Neo to the Yasagori Pond. That place has a high concentration of all Elementals. It will increase his chances of talking to them."

"Master, the Pond is too precious. Just because they are from your homeland—"

"Ava, we had this talk last night. Let’s not do it again."

Ava nodded with a clenched jaw.

Neo looked at the father-daughter duo with a silent gaze.

The Pond was something clearly important, maybe something like a limited resource.

But Neo didn’t have the luxury to look for another method.

"Follow me."

Ava and Neo left the two-floor house.

The air outside was crisp, carrying the scent of earth and distant foliage.

They navigated through the forest for hours.

Towering trees cast long shadows over them, their branches swaying gently in the wind.

Most of the monsters stayed away after sensing Ava’s Dragon Aura.

The ones that approached were quickly dispatched by her.

The duo stopped before a small hill.

They stepped onto the broken staircase hidden at the corner of the mountain’s foot.

It was covered in fallen leaves, cobwebs, and the steps were cracked and uneven.

As the two walked forward, Neo opened his mouth.

"Your dad is quite hospitable."

"You are right," Ava replied with a hint of pride. "Not many people know it, but he is very kind."

"Not many people know it?"

Neo noticed the nuance behind Ava’s words.
