Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 9

Watching Neo sigh, Clara became more distrustful.

She seemed sure of her thoughts.

Neo was… weak.

Other than the aura of death, he had nothing on him that made him look strong.

The Divine Energy leaking from his body was incomparably weak and he had poor control over it.

Was he bluffing about his strength?

No, did they misunderstand him in the first place?

He never said he was a high ranked demigod, they thought he was one by themselves.

If it was true, there was no need to bring him to the Mermaid Country.

Clara looked at her spear.

Her fingers twitched.

She had only thought about grabbing it when she suddenly noticed Neo staring at her.

He shifted his gaze to the spear and scoffed.

'Did he detect my bloodlust?'

Clara got more confused.

It was clear Neo had a very high affinity with Death element, to the point he could detect even the faintest bloodlust directed at him, but his poor Divine energy control said he was an Awakened Demigod at best.

'What is it?'

'He is strong or is he weak?'

Clara decided against taking any immediate action.

She would watch him for now.

The Azure Dragon reached the Alaspa Sea.

Neo gasped inwardly when he saw hundreds of hurricanes, both small and giant, in every direction.

The sky was covered with clouds and the undersea was pitch black due to the absence of light.

Without the sunlight, one would not know they had entered a hurricane's range unless it was too late.

The Azure Dragon swiftly flew through the gaps of hurricanes.

It seemed to know the range and force of the sea devils, and managed to navigate like a professional bus driver.

The hurricanes disappeared after they travelled for half-a-day.

The clouds parted, the sun light returned and a shore appeared in the distance.

"We are here," Amelia smiled.

She commanded the Azure Dragon to circle the shore and drop them in a secluded region.

Neo was breathing heavily when they got off the Azure Dragon's back.

He had dark circles underneath his eyes and his muscles were sore.

Riding the Azure Dragon for a day without rest wrecked his weak constitution.

'Dammit, why am I so weak after reaching Awakened rank? Am I cursed or what?'

"You don't look good," Amelia noticed his condition.

Unlike Clara, who stayed quiet, she did not hesitate to speak right now.

"I know." Neo didn't let his face show the exhaustion. "I was using the Divine Water pond to heal myself."

"Is this the side effect from your fight? Who was your foe? Are you gathering Tremor-ranked Magic Spells to increase the chances of your victory for the next time?"

Her rapid fire questions and sparkling gaze made Neo take a step back.

"Princess, we should go," Clara interrupted her before she overwhelmed Neo.

He looked at her thankfully.

They left the shore and came across a carriage hidden next to the giant beach rocks. It was left there for occasions like today.

'A carriage? They are using carriages when the rest of the world has cars. Damn, am I in boonies or what?' Neo thought.

He should not have expected much from a country that followed Monarchy in this day and age.

Amelia climbed the carriage first.
