At the same time, his senses' range had reached unprecedented heights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Neo focused, he could sense the blades of grass as far as thousands of kilometers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noticed Ava staring at him stiffly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is something wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at the barrier that shouldn't have been broken by even early Exalted, then back to Neo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swallowing her doubts, she shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used Water and Darkness to clean the filth that had been released by his body during the breakthrough and followed after Ava.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry about the barrier. I didn't think it would break.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry about it. It has a self-restoration function.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ava felt relieved that she hadn't told Neo to breakthrough at the Yasagori Pond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had she done that, the Pond might've disappeared by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They reached the home in a few hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The journey could've been much shorter; however, they took their time, as according to Ava, there were powerful monsters lurking in the forest, and attracting their attention was dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kane was at the porch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was waiting for them, half-worried, half-expectant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good job,\" he said, sensing the endless power emanating from Neo. \"You should be able to fight a weak Grade 3 Exalted now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\" Neo smiled bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kane's words smashed the delusion of invincibility he was feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Ava was petrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo had jumped from being able to fight Grade 5-Grade 4 Exalted to Grade 3 Exalted in a single day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to her master, Neo was a Paragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made no sense how a single breakthrough of his could rival the breakthroughs of Exalted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come inside.

It was rare for Nicolas to initiate a conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"About what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The boy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nicolas kept his eyes on the surroundings as he opened his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If he became an Executioner, it's sufficient to say Sphinx made him an offer he couldn't refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's likely that it was to save the Tyrant who was injured during the attack on the Temple of Void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if the offer wasn't about it, the boy must be trying to save the Tyrant,\" Nicolas said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not going to do anything,\" Olivia replied bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is the prince of the Underworld, and my daughter is there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Reapers of Death are impartial. Even if the boy wants to harm you, he cannot do anything against your daughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would rather not take risks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All their knowledge about the Underworld came from rumors, myths, and claims of the Temple of Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said the Angels of Death were impartial, but was it really true?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia had too much on the line to take the gamble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good to know that,\" Nicolas said curtly, eliciting a surprise from Olivia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are okay with that…? I thought you would want to eliminate Neo, especially because of his bloodline.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not young anymore. I would rather not fight if I can.\" Nicolas shook his head and stepped away from Olivia. \"I can sense a powerful monster coming for Percival from that direction. I will go look into it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could take another step, Olivia asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will you really not attack Neo?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won't. Even if I wanted to, I can't do it. The dragon protecting him is beyond what these old bones can handle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Present\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group ate dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percival and his group returned late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had encountered a powerful Grade 3 Exalted-rank monster, which took them time to subdue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dinner, they sat on the porch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm a Paragon now. So, when can we start the training?\" Percival asked eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From the morning,\" Kane replied with a wave of his hand. \"The birds don't wake up until the sun rises.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cryptic words confused the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they kept their silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would know tomorrow what Kane was talking about. There was no need for haste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of sleeping, Neo meditated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He created Essence and learned the Concealment Spell Kane had given him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not hard to learn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, learning it by the time he met the Grand Expedition would be a challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The morning came quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the first light of dawn touched the forest, Kane led Neo and Percival through the trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was cool, and the ground was covered in fallen leaves. Birds chirped in the distance, and a soft breeze rustled the branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After traveling for hours, they stopped in front of a long fence that stretched far in both directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large wooden sign was nailed to the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Do not cross the fence unless you can outrun the ostriches.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo and Percival stared at the sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ostrich?\" Percival asked, confused. \"You guys have those here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah,\" Kane replied simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A farm,\" Kane said. \"Each side of the fence is 1.5 kilometers long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's a single Golden Apple tree in the middle of the farm. That tree is why I created this farm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Just one tree?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Golden Apples are rare and hard to grow. Having even one tree that bears fruits is extremely lucky as is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percival nodded, looking a little unsure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had heard many terrifying stories about the First Executioner, but the man standing before him seemed surprisingly normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo, however, wasn't paying attention to the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes scanned the farm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something felt strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's our goal here?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bring me a Golden Apple—one each. I want to make an apple tart.\" Kane smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…That's our training?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\" Kane shrugged. \"Pretty easy, right? I used to send Ava to do it for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo turned his gaze to the farm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tree was only 1.5 kilometers away, combining the distance they need to cover in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For someone like them, who could cross over a hundred kilometers in a single step, this task was easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I have a bad feeling about this,' Neo thought.\u003C\u002Fp>",1050,"2026-05-30T08:00:57.452Z","2026-06-01T04:30:42.299Z",1,"novelbin.me","70ddd6f0ff0f028de21de9ff52c375d4eae55ebfa634ea30d5c4ceae13c17323","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-408","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-406",839,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fextra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-cover.jpg"]
