Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 97

The sword slid out of the scabbard without any resistance.

It had a curved black blade with pitch black texture that seemed to pull oneself into it.

"A kodachi. Well it's a bit long for a kodachi."

The sword's shape was exactly how katana swords were depicted in his previous world.

'I'm sure the original Obitus was different.'

'Did the appearance change to fit my preference?'

Neo swung the blade.

It fit perfectly in his hand, the weight was balanced, and he could tell his control over Death and Darkness increased tremendously.

"Something is weird…"

His Divine Energy control seemed to have improved.

But....

"Why is Obitus absorbing my Divine Energy?"

Neo slashed.

Something changed when he pulled out Obitus.

He couldn't put his finger on it.

Suddenly, Paimon opened her mouth.

"How is this possible?

"Why can your Spirit connect you to the Underworld?"

Her words made Neo's brows jump.

He realized what was wrong.

"My stats aren't suppressed anymore. The debuff disappeared."

As a kin of Death, he was weakened in the world of living.

However, that was no longer the case.

Neo returned the sword to the sheathe.

The debuff reappeared and Obitus stopped absorbing his Divine Energy.

His limbs felt heavy.

As if he was wearing sand bags.

"How fascinating. I've never seen anything similar."

"Neither have I."

Neo shrugged.

He did his best to hide his smile.

After curbing his excitement and taking a powernap, he visited Leonora's room.

He rang the doorbell twice.

There was no reply.

"Leonora, open the door."

He knocked this time and the door opened.

"It was not locked."

Neo called out to her a few more times from the doorstep.

There was no reply.

"Should I just enter?"

He decided against it when suddenly he heard a scream from the room.

His eyes widened and he ran inside.

"Leonora! What happened!?"

"I… I…"

She turned to him and…

…

Principal Office

Charlotte closed the set of documents.

She rubbed her eyes with a sigh.

"Is there a problem, master?"

Elizabeth stared at her with worry hidden deep within her gaze.

"The owner of Mystica Fauna Preserve filed a complaint against Team Umbra.

"He wants to be reimbursed for the Phoenix's death."

Phoenix was one of the rarest mythical beasts.

Its value couldn't be counted with money alone.

"And? The money is a problem?"

"That too. But there is something else I can't understand.

"For someone like his personality, Derek is complaining quite calmly.

"I expected him to burst through my door yesterday, but he only sent a letter."

It was as if…

He wanted to suppress the matter without creating much commotion.

Charlotte closed her eyes.

She tried to think of a reason behind Derek's strange actions.

"Eliz, how is that boy?"

"…?"

"How does he act? Is he the type to put others at risk for his benefits or does—"
