Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 419

The woman leaned toward Neo, as if searching for something inside him.

"You must be tainted if you can tell I’m an Outer God." She smiled. "But your corruption feels weak. You haven’t awakened Void?"

"Not yet."

"How about I help you?"

She stepped closer.

A faint, alluring scent drifted toward Neo’s nostrils, carrying a hypnotic sweetness that made his head feel light.

Before the tension could escalate, Kane’s voice cut through the air like a blade.

"Let them go. They are with me."

"Of course."

She pulled back, and the invisible force holding Neo in its tight grip loosened.

The bewitchment that had ensnared Olivia, Percival, and Nicolas also faded, leaving them momentarily disoriented.

They noticed the presence of Void around the woman and almost moved.

"Don’t," Kane said before they could react. "She is ◼, the Clan Leader of the Void Dragon Clan, and an Outer God, yes. But she isn’t our enemy."

Percival and Neo winced as Kane spoke the woman’s name.

A heavy force crashed down on their minds, like an iron hammer striking their skulls.

Olivia and Nicolas fared better.

As Exalted, they could withstand the pressure, but even they couldn’t hear her name clearly.

’A Fabled,’ Neo thought. ’No, not a Fabled.

’Kane called her a God. So I guess I should say she is a Stage-3 God.’

The others remained tense.

An Outer God being a friend?

That was impossible in their diaries.

"Don’t bother," Neo said. "Even if you try to fight her, she can kill us with a snap. The fact that she hasn’t means she isn’t our enemy."

He spoke before their instincts could overtake reason, and before their hands could reach for their weapons.

"Thank you, dear, for standing up for me."

The woman chuckled.

Her honeyed voice was soothing to hear, and addictive.

Despite her innocent face, her figure and presence resembled that of a succubus.

Having been bewitched once, they now understood how dangerous she truly was.

"Why are you here?" she questioned Kane.

"They are going to participate in the Grand Expedition," Kane replied.

The woman gave them a sweeping glance before her gaze settled on the blue flame hovering near Neo’s shoulder.

"Welcome," she said, a smile tugging at her lips. "We appreciate all the help we can get."

She was about to open a warp gate toward the tent when Kane suddenly stopped her.

"We will walk. I want them to adjust to the presences of this level, and it will help them familiarize themselves with other members of the Grand Expedition."

"If you say so."

The woman led the way.

Kane, Neo, and the others followed behind her.

The massive crowd before them instinctively parted, creating a clear path.

Neo could feel countless eyes watching him.

Among them, the presence of Exalted beings stood out the most.

He could read their thoughts.

’New people?’

’The Grand Disaster is here! The Grand Disaster!’

’Why does that flame have the presence of an Ancient Dragon?’
