Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 457

Chapter 457 Julie de Beaufort

.

"Now, what should I do with you?"

Normally, she would've killed him. However, the name he muttered made her dwell on her actions.

"Let's decide it by a coin toss. I will take heads."

She took out a golden coin from her pocket. The coin shone dimly, having seen her twisted 'fair coin tosses' in the past.

She flicked it in the air and caught it.

A slight surprise appeared in her gaze when she saw the result.

"You are quite lucky. First, you call me to save you, and then you win this too."

The coin itself was surprised. The toss was no gamble. Only those who met the strictest of conditions could win.

They had to be people with the ability to join the resistance. Or someone who would help Julie in the future, or in the past, directly or perhaps indirectly. They would lose the coin toss if they failed to meet the conditions.

A green sheen covered her hand.

She gave a twist, and the time of Percival's body started to flow backward.

The fallen blood returned to his veins, the broken Core repaired, and his pale face regained its color.

After healing him, Julie decided to wait for him to wake up.

However, her ringing wristwatch made a mess of her plan.

She stood up with an unpleasant expression and sighed.

"How do they always find me so fast?"

She took a look at Percival and shook her head.

"I guess I won't have time to meet you."

She disappeared just as suddenly as she had appeared, leaving behind not a single trace of her existence. Even the memories of her appearance were erased from the mind of Sunshine and Percival.

…

Percival's POV

His eyes snapped open. The sudden movement caused pain to flare through his limbs, and an involuntary cry left his lips.

The pain brought a realization.

He was alive.

His Divine Energy reserves were at rock bottom.

His repaired Core was the only saving grace. He was not dying, at least.

He pushed himself up with a groan. The pain made him feel like thousands of ants were biting into his limbs.

"Ow, it hurts. How long was I asleep for?"

Percival looked around.

He was on a small island, and at the center of it was a giant tree.

The tree was large and thick. Percival suspected its height was three times the diameter of a Stage-1 Planet.

Its width was not as gargantuan. Only as wide as a country like Auburn.

The tree took most of the space on the island, leaving only a few hundred meters worth of land before the Blood Sea began.

"Where is this place? Am I even in Tartarus?"

Wings of light formed behind his back. He took to the skies as he flew over the Blood Sea.

He did not go much farther as he knew the dangers of the Blood Sea.

However, he never felt a pull from the island.

Tartarus was supposed to stop anyone from leaving. Since this island did nothing similar, it was not Tartarus.

"Sunshine, what happened here, and how was I healed?"

The emotions and the voice of the Sun appeared in his head.

A frown appeared on Percival's visage upon hearing its answer.

"You don't know how I was healed?

"Strange. I don't remember it either."
