Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 404

His body was beet red.

Veins bulged and wriggled as he struggled to breathe.

"Flower… your… help..."

Red lightning, a soft green glow, and purple bubbles with miniature suns within them floated around Neo.

Death and Life were wary of Void, which was surprising.

Just like how Void could corrupt Life, Death could harm Life too. A powerful Death would have no trouble killing a weak Life.

It seemed contradictory that Life was fine with Death, but not Void.

The Elementals remained stationery.

They seemed to have no intention of helping.

The Pond should’ve made them help Neo.

But Life seemed to have a personal bias against Elizabeth, Death also refused to help, and Void just watched, as if the Pond didn’t interest it.

Neo, on the verge of fainting, suddenly felt the presence of another group of Elementals.

Silvery motes appeared around him.

’Please, help him,’ the Space Elementals spoke.

They had tried to not manifest, since it put a great burden on Neo; however, given the situation, they had no other choice.

When the other Elementals remained silent, Space spoke again,

’Death, he is the spawn of your Loved One. Why are you refusing to help him?’

’You said it yourself. He is the spawn of my Loved One. A life that was created by one who was blessed by Death.’

The Death Elementals’ voice was filled with suppressed intensity.

The red lightning surrounding Neo grew erratic.

’We have no intention of helping the mistake of my Loved One.’

’Calling him a mistake,’ the Space Elementals sighed. ’You act as if you hate your Loved One and his spawn, but have you not helped the little one until now?

’Whenever he needed your help, you protected him. You were the reason why he learned to manifest his Death. So, why are you not helping when he asked for it directly?’ the Space said.

’Y-you!’

The powerful red lightning crashed against the pond’s edges and caused the surroundings to wilt.

’I never helped him!’

The Death Elementals turned to Neo. ’I did no such thing! Do not listen to him!’

Neo chuckled weakly.

He remembered the events during the Shadow Trial.

Back then, he had lost the mastery of Death for a period of time.

During those times, Death still warned him when someone tried to attack him.

Something like that shouldn’t have been possible.

It only happened since the Death Elementals tried to protect him. This was something Neo realized only now.

Neo understood what he needed to do in order to receive Death’s grace.

"Death… help me, please…."

’Do you think we will do it just because you asked sincerely?’ Death snapped at him.

Death alternated its focus between the flower and Neo, who seemed in immense pain.

Neo groans made it wince.

’Ugh, fine. Just this once. But don’t expect us to help you again!’

The storm of red lightning began to flow into the Everwitch Violet.

Some of the Death Elementals took the water from the Pond, while others did not.
