Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades

The trees at the end of area suddenly dried up and died.

Screeching wails of the ghosts echoed.

Their presences disappeared a beat later.

Neo gasped for breath, and sat on the ground.

"My condition is better than the previous time I used Aura Slash.

"But I\'m still fucked if there is another ghost."

While his limbs no longer trembled and he didn\'t feel like dying after just one Aura Slash, it didn\'t change the fact his Divine Energy reserves were back to 1/10 of their total.

Neo waited.

He spread his sense wide to locate another ghost.

There was nothing…

He let out a sigh and used Essence Breath Spell to speed up his recovery.

Jack woke up with a groan.

"What happened… Neo, are you okay!?"

Blood poured out non-stop from Neo\'s back and his shoulder had an ugly injury.

He looked like he had a step inside the grave.

"I\'ve seen better days," Neo smiled.

He wasn\'t joking.

The only worrisome fact about the wounds was they were made from Death Aura infused attacks.

They wouldn\'t heal unless healers used purification on him.

Neo, however, as a Death wielder could suppress the Death Aura lingering on his injuries and remove it with time.

As long as he removed the Death Aura, his super healing would do the job.

In short, he was perfectly fine.

"What about the ghosts? Is there anyone left?" Neo asked.

"No, the reason I woke up was because their presences disappeared."

"Good job. Go to the janitor and report the mission\'s completion. I\'ll try to recover in the meantime."

Jack didn\'t look enthused to leave Neo alone given his grievous injuries.

However, Neo\'s nonchalance forced him to follow his words.

While Neo was focusing on removing the Death Aura and recovering his Divine Energy, Paimon opened her mouth.

"I\'ve been curious about something.

"How can your Spirit wield more than one element? It should be impossible."

"I don\'t know myself."

Neo lied as naturally as he breathed.

He was worried Paimon would destroy Obitus if she knew the sword\'s origin.

The former Grim Reaper noticed his lie rather easily.

"Worry not.

"I won\'t do anything just because it displeases me.

"If I did, I would\'ve killed your friend and every Necromancer out there."

Neo felt his scalp go numb.

Because he knew she had the ability to follow up on her words.

Paimon was strong.

She could kill others or spare them on whim.

It was one of the reasons why Neo pursed strength.

He didn\'t want to let others decide his fate.

Jack returned.

He brought plain glasses with him.

They, the rewards of the mission, could provide the wearer Wind elemental vision.

"You can have them. I barely did anything in this mission."

"Okay."

Neo wasn\'t the one to refuse free gifts.

He pocketed the glasses for later.

The two left the Aurelia block.

They crashed into the cafeteria and ordered food.

Morrigan was, once again, eating piles of bread.

She looked like she had just finished her training.

Neo was about to call out to her until his senses warned him.

She was pissed.

And she would attack if he annoyed her.

\'I bet it\'s because the Zeus Clan members made fun of her.\'

\'Yeah, it\'s definitely not because she is holding a grudge for the ranking tournament.\'

Neo wisely sat on another seat.

Jack let out a sigh of relief.

He was worried they had to sit with Morrigan.

It wasn\'t long before Christian\'s call arrived.

"We are done. Where are you two?"

"Cafeteria. The one near the Seraphim Hall."

"Okay. Wait for us."

Neo told the chefs to delay his order for an hour.

He was waiting for Christian and Mars to arrive so as to eat with them.

\'I\'m not doing this to make more friends or because I want to prove Felix wrong.\'

\'This is my actual personality.\'

\'I\'m an extrovert who had been posing as introvert until now.\'

After self-justifying himself, he waited for Christian and Mars.

They arrived almost an hour later.

"You two look like shit."

"Tell me about it," Christian smiled bitterly.

He was carrying an unconscious Mars on his back.

Their clothes were burnt, torn, and covered in mud.

Neo gave them the Energy Replenishment elixirs.

Christian drank it.

His complexion improved slightly.

He used the other bottle and made Mars drink it.

"What happened on your mission?" Jack asked with concern.

"Can we eat first? I\'m famished."

"And we are poor. We don\'t have credits to buy the extravagant meals," Jack spoke.

"…"

Neo stood up before the mood of the group sank.

"The head chef is the friend of the Oujha plantation owner.

"I\'ll see if we can have them use our reward from the plantation mission.

"The price should go down if the cooking ingredients are 70% off."

They held a surprised expression.

Their faces were saying \'How poor you have to be to come up with that thought?\'.

Neo frowned.

He couldn\'t say he learned this hack from his past life.

Of course, 90% of the restaurant threw him and his friends out when they used this hack.

He hoped it would work in the cafeteria.

After explaining the matter to the restaurant staff, Neo was surprised to see them readily agree to his request.

\'Weird.\'

\'Is it so easy because I\'m the Ruler?\'

\'Or was the mission\'s reward supposed to be used in this way?\'

They ordered lots of food after hearing the new discounted prices.

Neo noticed Morrigan looking at their table with a salivating gaze.

He called the waitress and whispered,

"Can I order something for her?"

"I apologize, sir. But only your team can use the discount. Others need to pay the full price."

Neo nodded.

"Fine, just give her some portion of my food. Or is that impossible too?"

"…"

The waitress alternated her gaze between Neo and Morrigan.

"…We can allow it if it\'s just this time."
