Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades

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.

He looked refreshed.

"It was a nice workout."

'Crazy bastard. He is happy he got a chance to fight others,' Neo thought.

Jack spoke up,

"That's the problem. Those people had their faces hidden.

"Someone came and rescued them before we could confirm their identities."

Neo pursed his lips.

They had to be strong to rescue the perpetrators before Mars could stop them.

"It's someone from top 10 or from a Great God Clan," Neo said.

"Yes. That's what we think too."

"They finally started openly hindering us."

Neo pursed his lips.

"It's better to ignore them for now. We are almost on the finish line.

"Let's focus on the completing the A-rank mission."

The other three nodded.

They were about to move towards the mission hall when Mars took out a pen drive from his pocket.

He gave it to Neo.

"The Physical Reinforcement Spell we got as the reward of the mission is in there.

"I gave a copy to Jack. You can have the other."

"What about you and Christian?"

Neo asked despite knowing the answer.

"I can't use the Spell and I'm sure Christian has something better."

"Indeed."

Christian nodded.

"Got it."

Neo pocketed the pen drive.

He would learn the Spell later.

…

Lucas' Room, Seraphim Hall

Harrison grabbed Zoe's neck and smashed her into the wall.

"How did you fail again!?"

Condensed Aura of Lightning flickered around his arm.

It burned Zoe's neck.

She screamed due to the pain.

"Answer me!"

Harrison increased the strength behind his grip.

"M-mars was too strong. I could barely rescue my teammates before he saw their faces—"

"Then what about that mudblood! How did he defeat the kraken when you were there!?"

He threw her across the room.

Not satisfied yet, he was about to kick her again when Lucas stopped him.

"We don't have time. They will soon go to receive the A-rank mission.

"Let's go to the mission hall."

Lucas gave a glance to the bleeding Zoe before stepping out.

Harrison clicked his tongue and followed behind him.

…

Mission Hall

Neo completed the verification process.

[+10 credits]

[Total credits: 34 credits]

He received the notification.

After confirming the rewards he was about to move towards the A-rank mission list when he noticed something.

>S-rank Mission<

Details: [REDACTED]

Assigner: Sphinx

Reward: [REDACTED]

Slots: 2/3

>S-rank Mission<

Two teams completed the participation requirements.

There was only one spot left.

"This is bad," Christian muttered. "We might not be able to complete the requirements on time."

"Does anyone have any idea which teams cleared the participation requirements?" Jack questioned.

"I think it's Zeus Clan teams. I would've known if it was someone from Poseidon Clan."

"But aren't you being ostracized? Wouldn't they hide the news from you?"

"This type of information isn't worth hiding."

While they conversed, Neo took out his device and contacted Felix.

He wanted to know if Arthur's team was one of the two teams who cleared the mission requirements.

> Felix <

Me: How many missions have you completed?

Felix: We are doing our last B-rank mission before we move onto the A-rank mission.

Felix: Why?

Me: 2/3 slots are filled.

> Felix <

Neo closed the chats.

"It's not Arthur's team."
