Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 88

He grabbed the hilt upside down with both hands and tapped the tip of the sheathe on the ground.

"Devour."

The shadows of Obitus suddenly swelled.

They spread far and wide and covered the riverbed.

The noises returned when the corpse started to sink into the darkness.

They were bearable.

[Muscle Flexibility +1]

Neo was surprised to see his stats increase even though Obitus devoured the corpse.

He recalled Henry's words.

'Obitus is linked with me.'

'It will grow as I grow.'

'Looks like the opposite is also true.'

Obitus let out a satisfied hum and returned to the sleep.

The scabbard became slightly loose.

'It's about to be completed.'

Neo turned to Christian.

"Let's return."

They swam back to the river bank.

Neo was drenched with water unlike Christian who was dried as soon as he stepped on the land.

Christian noticed Neo's displeased expression.

"Please don't get naked now."

"I'm not an exhibitionist."

Neo was exasperated.

Maybe he should've stopped Jack from overexaggerating the story.

They met the fishermen after leaving the river.

"Please sign the mission completion documents and send them to us."

"W-we will. We will."

The old fisherman nodded.

He gave Neo the Zentiya resort ticket.

After completing the procedures, Neo and Christian left.

"You look worn out."

"I'm fine."

Christian shook his head.

His pale complexion was due to lack of Divine Energy.

Not everyone had a Terror-ranked Breathing Spell to recover their Divine Energy.

'I don't think Christian, Jack, and Mars can fight anymore.'

'I'll have to make sure the next mission we choose isn't a battle mission.'

"You are doing a good job. Just hold on a bit longer.

"We can rest as soon as we clear the last A-rank mission," Neo said.

His words brought a smile to Christian's face.

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to the resort. It's quite famous."

They were on their way to the mission hall when Jack's message arrived.

Neo read it out aloud.

"Mars and I've cleared the mission.

"But there is a problem. Meet us near our dorm."

He looked up at Christian.

Their expression turned serious.

"We should hurry."

"Indeed."

They met with Mars and Jack at the specified location.

Mars had a smile on his face and his clothes were damaged.

Jack, on the other hand, bit his nails and paced around.

He noticed Christian and Neo.

"Hey! You are back!"

"Yeah, we just completed out mission."

"Congrats. Ours was a success too."

"Good job."

They sat on a nearby bench.

"Why did you call us? What happened on your mission?"

"That…"

Jack turned to Mars and signaled for him to speak.

"The mission was simple enough.

"The only hiccup was how the Minotaur suddenly went berserk and attacked us.

"We were almost forced to kill it," Mars grinned.

Neo frowned.

The same happened with the kraken on their mission.

It suddenly went berserk.

"Why do you look happy if you almost failed?" Neo questioned.

"Because someone was responsible for the minotaur going berserk.

"They tried to have us fail the mission purposefully.

"Of course, I completed the mission and dealt with those certain people."

Mars cracked his neck. _{freēwēbnovel.com}

He looked refreshed.
