Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 409

Neo activated his blessing.

His speed increased sharply, and his injuries began to heal.

He shot forward like a bullet.

The world blurred around him.

The distant rustling of leaves and the chirping of the birds faded into the background.

Just as he took a step, something struck his shin.

He tripped, his momentum betraying him, and fell face-first into the ground.

The impact sent a jolt of pain through his body as dust and loose dirt scattered into the air.

"Fweeeet! Fweeeet! Fweeeet!"

Neo groaned, pushing himself up, only to find an ostrich towering over him.

The oversized bird stood there, its beady eyes gleaming with what could only be amusement.

Neo blinked, baffled.

Short head, long neck, shaggy feathers, two-toed feet with sharp claws—it looked like an actual ostrich.

If Neo hadn’t been tripped and killed by them before, he would’ve thought these were just normal ostriches.

But…

"Fweeeet! Fweeeet!"

’Is it just me, or is this birdbrain laughing at me?’

The ostrich stamped its feet, unmistakably taunting.

Its beak curled slightly in what could only be described as a smirk—an irritating, smug smirk.

After one last mocking call, the bird took a step and disappeared in a blink.

Neo sat up straight, his hands digging into the dirt as he turned to look at Percival and Kane.

Kane had a knowing smile.

He had expected this.

Percival, on the other hand, was doubled over, clutching his stomach as he laughed uncontrollably.

Neo stood up, dusting himself off.

His gaze shifted to the tree he had been aiming for, but the fruit no longer interested him.

His main goal changed. He would bash the face of that birdbrain first, then take the apple.

"Why the fuck are you laughing?"

"I never thought I’d see someone getting trolled by a bird." Percival wheezed, barely containing his amusement.

"You got killed by it. At least I could move, unlike you."

Percival shrugged, as if saying getting killed was still better than being humiliated.

"Hah, this is fun." Percival finally calmed down, setting his massive hammer down and rolling his shoulders. "But I’d rather not die again. So, I’ll finish it now."

He took a step forward.

"Come, Sunshine." Continue reading stories on freewebnovel

A second sun materialized in the sky, blazing brilliantly above them.

The temperature spiked, and waves of heat rippled through the air.

Basking in divine light, Percival’s aura flared, surging in intensity.

Golden flames erupted around him.

His muscles tensed, and veins glowed faintly beneath his skin with golden hue.

A slight, almost imperceptible shift occurred in his gaze—his irises burning with newfound strength.

’The blessing of Apollo: [Might],’ Neo thought.

Percival had effectively reached the strength of a Grade 3 Exalted.

Without hesitation, he bolted towards the tree.

The air exploded around him, shockwaves rippling outward, and he left a blazing trail of golden fire behind him.

Neo raised a brow at the sheer speed when—

Percival’s body jerked violently.

His momentum cut off instantly, and he collapsed like a puppet with its strings severed.

A hole had been drilled clean through his head.

He was dead.

"Seriously?"
