Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 437

"Please, use it. We need to search for Ava as soon as possible."

"…?" Neo frowned. "Why are you in a hurry? It’s not like we can rescue her from the nightmares."

"We need to do that."

Zera noticed Neo and Elizabeth’s confused expressions.

"Kane would be entering the Abyss of Nightmares soon. We need to find Ava before that. Honestly, I would’ve preferred to send Ava back so that Kane doesn’t enter the Abyss, but I don’t think we can do that."

"Why didn’t the Sword Saint enter with the Grand Expedition?" Elizabeth suddenly spoke. "He sounds strong. It should be good news for you if he comes to the Abyss of Nightmares."

Zera alternated her gaze between Neo and Elizabeth.

"I guess he didn’t tell you why he is called the Great Disaster."

"What do you mean?"

"Kane was part of the Eighth Grand Expedition. That expedition was guaranteed to succeed until Kane slaughtered everyone and came back with only a few survivors."

"What…?" Neo frowned. "Kane wouldn’t kill people without reason."

"I’m not sure about that," Zera said. "His title of Great Disaster is given to him by the survivors of the Eighth Grand Expedition."

"….why did he do that?"

"He refuses to answer. Our best guess is that he was under the influence of Darkness. It helps that after returning, he sealed his trait and ability to wield a sword.

"If not for it, the Dragon Clans would have no choice but to band together to subjugate him."

Zera explained in more detail.

After Kane sealed his trait, he was still quite strong. Eliminating him would take a lot of resources.

Moreover, it wasn’t the first time someone went berserk under the influence of Darkness.

Thus, the Dragon Clans didn’t start a crusade against him for eliminating the Eighth Grand Expedition.

It did, however, ostracize him in Tartarus, which was the reason he lived near the edges of the land instead of living inland in settlements.

"Since we still don’t know what caused Kane to lose his reason last time, nobody wants him to enter the Abyss of Nightmares, not with the Grand Expedition."

Neo’s frown didn’t ease.

Something didn’t add up.

If Kane lost his control to Darkness, why was he fine now? It was rare to recover from Darkness’ insanity.

Chances were Kane never lost control to Darkness and did everything by himself.

But why?

’Is he trying to protect Tartarus?’

’But then why did he let us enter the Abyss of Nightmares?’

Neo froze.

There could be only one reason if Kane was protecting Tartarus and still let them enter the Abyss of Nightmares.

’He is confident we cannot defeat Tartarus.’

Neo erased such thoughts.

Kane wouldn’t let millions of people enter the Abyss of Nightmares and die for no reason.
