Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 49

"Maybe it's true."

Morrigan repeatedly warned others to not touch Neo.

Did she do that because she was worried Neo, a weak demigod, would die if hundreds of demigod attacked him at once?

"No, that's not possible."

Morrigan wasn't so kind.

But...

"This injury."

Neo traced the wound on his stomach.

It nearly split his torso in half and somehow the injury wasn't lethal.

The attack missed his vital points.

"If she didn't do this on purpose, it has to be a crazy coincidence."

Neo found it hard to believe Morrigan would make a mistake like this.

It had to be intentional.

"Dammit…"

Morrigan had to punish Neo.

He insulted the Zeus Clan by trying to take the first rank.

She tried to find a way to punish him on the live broadcast while her true intentions were different.

She didn't want to kill him.

In return, Neo nearly ended her life.

"I'm just imagining nonsense."

The wound could be a coincidence, or maybe she had other intentions.

He shouldn't come to a conclusion without hearing her side.

Neo turned away from Morrigan.

He trained his Darkness affinity to pass time.

The shadows stretched and spread out.

It was difficult to sustain the domain of darkness for a long period of time.

The longer he maintained darkness the harder it got to control.

The shadows slithered and tried to devour him.

Strange noises spoke to him.

He cancelled the domain of darkness when he reached his limit.

The darkness and the noises disappeared.

"Why are you using that element?" Morrigan spoke to him.

Her complexion improved.

It seemed hours went by while he was immersed in training.

"I have an affinity for it."

"That's your only reason?"

Morrigan looked like she had a lot to say.

"Don't use it too much." She pursed her lips. "When you devour others, the darkness devours you.

"Stop while you still can."

"Thank you for the advice."

Neo had no intention of stopping.

The two went silent.

Before Neo could return to the training, Morrigan spoke,

"I'm hungry."

"…?"

"Go, get me something to eat."

Neo didn't move.

"I'm hurt because of you. Take responsibility."

She stared at him with silent hate.

Neo was about to tell her off when suddenly his stomach rumbled.

"..."

He sighed.

'I lost my sword when I fell. Guess I'll go and search for it while looking for something to eat.'

He left the cave under Morrigan's watchful eyes.

It was night.

He went around collecting fruits from the trees.

There was no clue about Obitus.

"I can't call it back since our connection isn't strong yet."

He wanted to curse at himself.

"I lost a god slayer weapon."

Neo could only wait for the tournament to end to get his sword.

While outside, Neo made sure to not leave tracks, or engage in battles.

His Divine Energy was far from sufficient.

He stood in front of a tree.

"Can I recover the Divine Energy if I devour it?"

Neo used the Darkness.
