Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 53

The rush of Divine Energy increased over time.

It enveloped Neo in a golden hue.

He took a deep breath and sucked the Divine Energy surrounding him at once.

His core bloated like a balloon about to burst.

He compressed the Divine Energy and forced it to stay inside the core.

When the compression reached the limit, he let go and the Divine Energy exploded into the surroundings.

It was denser than a moment ago.

Neo sucked it in again and compressed it.

He let it all out when he was done.

After repeating the process several times, his core cracked.

It let out a thunderous-roar and shattered.

Another core, larger, formed from its pieces and it stored his dense Divine Energy.

[Divine Energy Purity: Grade 1 Awakened → Grade 5 Mythic.]

Neo's blood gained a strong shade of gold.

His skin became fair and his scars disappeared.

He could tell his affinities became stronger.

Specifically, his attunement to his elements increased.

Neo opened his eyes slowly.

He let out a putrid breath and noticed his body covered in black gunk.

His nose scrunched.

"It smells."

Neo was about to take a bath when suddenly a faint lightning bolt hit his window.

He saw Felix and Arthur below at the ground.

Scanning the area, he could see several students who were similarly staring at Neo's window.

"What was that?" Felix shouted to ensure his voice reached the third floor.

"…?"

"Your Divine Energy just went berserk! Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I had a breakthrough. My Divine Energy didn't go berserk."

Felix went silent.

He, along with Arthur, stared at Neo with wide eyes.

"Breakthrough?"

Felix spoke with trembling voice.

"You were successful in digesting the Starplum fruit?"

Neo nodded.

"...Mythic Purity?" Felix questioned in disbelief.

"Yeah."

"Wow, fuck."

Felix covered his face.

He suddenly turned around and laughed hysterically.

"Hahaha, everyone, you called him a weakling?

"No, he is far stronger than all of you! I bet none of you have Grade 1 Divine Purity, let alone Grade 5 Mythic Purity!"

Harrison and Lucas frowned and left without saying a word.

The other students, irritated by Felix's boasting, returned to their rooms.

Neo just shook his head.

"We'll have a party tonight! It's your treat!" Felix shouted before Neo left.

"Okay."

Neo closed the window.

He smiled at Felix's antics.

After he returned from the bath, he cleaned the room.

It took a bit of time to remove the smell.

"I've achieved my goal of Mythic Purity."

Neo sat on the sofa and opened a drink.

He let himself rest as a reward for the hard work he did during the tournament.

"There are still two and a half days left. _{freёwebnovel.com}

"What should I do now?"

Underworld was anything but safe.

Neo knew he had to prepare more if he wanted to complete Barbatos' training.

"Since my combat techniques should be sufficient, I should focus on survival."

Food and water.

Neo needed them after he lost the Underworld's blessing.

Battles exhausted him greatly.

It made him hungry and thirsty.

He could ignore hunger for the 12 hours he spent in Underworld.

Water, however, was a problem.

"I guess that decides it. I'll learn to create water.
