sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clouds drifted lazily above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all he could think was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I'm going to grill these fuckers if that's the last thing I do.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his inner feelings, Neo stood up with a neutral expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dry dirt clung to his clothes, and he dusted them off before silently returning to the starting point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movements were calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timothy tilted its head, confused by the human's lack of reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had the taunting not been enough?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until today, the human always brought a dragon child with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teasing her had been amusing at first, but eventually, it got boring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why the three ostriches had been so excited when the human brought new toys a few days ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two newcomers were much more entertaining to play with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their reactions had given the birds plenty of laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timothy didn't understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why had the black-haired human suddenly become so different?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timothy attacked again, its powerful legs sweeping toward Neo's feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As always, the human tripped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And, as always, he simply dusted off his clothes and returned to the wooden barriers without a hint of frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he not getting angry at being defeated so easily?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timothy narrowed its eyes and changed its approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It started tripping Neo closer to the tree, ensuring he was just a step away before sending him to the ground again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A near victory, snatched away at the last moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surely, that would frustrate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo remained indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on the other side of the farm, the hammer-wielding human was beginning to cause trouble for Timothy's siblings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Timothy didn't pay attention to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had decided—no matter what, it would get a reaction out of the black-haired human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, it continued tripping him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the human still showed no signs of irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timothy was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was this human trying to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, suddenly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hand shot toward its neck with deadly precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fweeet!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timothy flinched, barely moving out of the way in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, a chill ran down its spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, people tried to attack Timothy and its siblings, but their aim was always poor, as if they couldn't properly perceive space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The birds never understood why, but it made bullying others so much easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this human—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had aimed directly at Timothy's neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must have been a coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or so Timothy thought—until the human tried again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His second attempt, however, was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movements were still rough, still lacking the precision of his first strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo clenched his fist, gazing at his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's almost within my grasp,\" he muttered under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timothy didn't understand the human's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for some reason, they felt like an ominous premonition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, once again, the human ran forward from the wooden barriers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timothy had already adjusted to his speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn't be taken by surprise anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bird stretched out its leg, preparing to trip him once more—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When suddenly, the human kicked at its feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack, which should have been aimed poorly like all the others, was now frighteningly precise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timothy's eyes widened in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hurriedly withdrew its leg, retreating just in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had it not moved—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force of the blow would have shattered its bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Timothy could retreat into the Pseudo-Gap completely, the human grabbed its leg and yanked it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fweeet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timothy shrieked, startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its wings flapped wildly, kicking up dust as it struggled to escape the human's grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—it froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The human was smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint, kind smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, for some reason, it sent a shiver down Timothy's spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear crept up its chest, and before it realized it—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It started to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears welled in its large, dark eyes as pitiful chirps escaped its beak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you crying?\" The human's voice was calm. \"I haven't even grilled you yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand, and black flames erupted on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dry grass withered instantly, and the heat distorted the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire crackled hungrily as dark poles formed at its sides, and above them, a single horizontal pole hung in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Timothy's entire body stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alarms blared in its mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could feel the searing heat licking at its feathers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this human planning to eat it!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fweet! Fweet! Fweet!\" Timothy cried desperately, flailing its legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The human's grip remained firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His smile widened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you crying? Laugh. Laugh, you fucking bitch. Laugh like you were laughing before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1201,"2026-05-30T08:00:57.452Z","2026-06-01T04:30:42.299Z",1,"novelbin.me","6ddb98bd4a443905ead893c89b1425dd109fc300e0aed02ce5ae3760d57a8f72","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-415","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-413",839,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fextra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-cover.jpg"]
