Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 92

Neo left the phoenix biome.

He stepped towards the center of the sanctuary.

After crossing a few different biomes, he came across a brown building.

He entered Derek's office.

"Has the phoenix finished its rebirth?"

"No, we failed. It's dead."

"Is this a prank…?"

Derek waited for Neo to say something.

When Neo didn't reply, his face morphed into an ugly grimace.

"Do you realize what you've done!? It was a phoenix!

"A phoenix!

"If you are incapable of completing the mission, how dare you take it!?"

"…"

Neo let Derek vent his anger.

"A phoenix is more expensive than your entire life!

"I'll make sure your team is penalized for this!

"Not just penalized, I'll make your life a living hell! You damned brats—"

"I'll be taking my leave. Please visit the mission hall if you have any complaints," Neo said.

Derek fumed.

Neo was on the doorstep when he stopped and turned around to face Derek.

"Also, the phoenix was 'weird'. It wasn't afraid of me even though I have Death affinity.

"I suspect it had a tainted bloodline and it is the reason its rebirth failed."

His words made Derek shut his mouth with a snap.

After all, Derek knew exactly what was wrong with the phoenix.

'Did.... did he notice?'

Derek's palms were covered in sweat.

He did not reply to Neo.

"Again, I apologize for the mission's result," Neo said.

He left the sanctuary.

On his way, his device rang.

[A-rank mission failed]

[-60 credits]

[Total credits: -60 credits]

"That's some balance."

He chuckled wryly.

Jack ran up to him when he reached the mission hall.

"Neo!"

"Did you take another mission?"

"About that…. The slots are full."

"…Who was it?"

Jack's expression fell further when he noticed Neo's frown.

It hit him again that they failed the participation requirements.

"Arthur's team, Lumen. They were a few minutes faster than the Poseidon Clan's team."

Neo patted Jack's back.

"It's fine. We'll get a slot."

"…?"

Neo didn't explain further.

….

Few hours ago.

Neo left the mission hall after taking the phoenix mission.

He was about to meet up with Percival and others when he noticed Lucas speaking to Percival.

'Lucas…'

'This guy will definitely interfere again in our mission.'

'I can stop him, but it's bothersome.'

A thought occurred to him.

'It's better to let him attack us and use him.'

He took out his device and message Felix.

Me: My team will give up the third slot.

Me: It should increase your chances of securing the slot since my team has the highest chance of getting the slot.

Felix: …What do you want in return?

Me: It's a good thing you are quick on uptake.

Me: I want you to—

…

Present

Felix met up with Percival.

He was nervous.
