You just saved my neck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's no problem. I'm happy to have a strong teammate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Christian didn't show it, Neo's amicable attitude surprised him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought Neo would be a stuck up kid who was drunk on his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'His personality will take him far. I guess it's a good choice to let Miss join his team.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Sigh, it's not like Miss will listen to me if I tell her to not team up with him.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo's team became qualified for S-rank mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he just had to wait for the Team Form to be verified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We still have two spots left. Should I bring some people from my Clan to join us?\" Christian asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If four out of five people belonged to Poseidon Clan, his team would be branded as a member of their faction, and he would become their underling in others' eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will find the other two members by myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo exchanged contacts with Christian and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could fill the remaining spots with random team members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I need to train. I don't have much time left.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to step out of the mission hall, a boy with red flaming hair blocked his path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me join your team.\" Mars grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued with fervor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have decided you will be my rival—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo exchanged contact with Mars, sent him the Team Form, and left before Mars could react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'There is no way I'm waiting for that battle fanatic to talk. I bet he would ask for a spar.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mars chose the 100th rank since his Clan ordered him to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His actual combat ability was way higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Mars had a few screws loose, he was worth teaming up with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo entered his dorm room and locked it from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped into the training hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally, I can train.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo used the Essence Breath Spell to recover his Divine Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was something Neo had to check before he trained his Water Element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Darkness…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He formed the necessary hand sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Energy rushed into his Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being infused with Darkness element, it spread throughout his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hand sign blocked the Magic Circuits on Neo's hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It acted like a valve, and the Divine Energy, with nowhere to go, rushed towards his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Magic Circuits on the sole of the feet were the most developed after the Magic Circuits on the palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The darkness spread out and formed a domain beneath his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at the Darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is why I had to use the hand signs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spells were fascinating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo had been using them without understanding how they worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Repeated usage of Necrotic Touch developed the Magic Circuits on his palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ocean's Embrace did the same for all of his Magic Circuits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was why he could use Darkness in one go when he tried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Magic Circuits on his feet grew after he used Ocean's Embrace over and over again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I failed to trigger Necrotic Touch when I tried it for the first time as my Magic Circuits were completely dormant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was all interconnected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything happened for a reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo couldn't contain his excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He started training to grow stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't want to be mediocre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now he wanted to learn about Spells and Elemental affinities too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling of becoming stronger and the knowledge he gained along the way was intoxicating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't get enough of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Focus, I'm getting sidetracked.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo switched his hand sign and boosted the infusion inside his Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Darkness spread out endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It reached the walls, climbed and continued to cover the roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire room was shrouded in Darkness by the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo's expression twisted when he tried to maintain the Coffin of Darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The technique could be used to trap enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used it against Morrigan in the ranking competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, she shattered his Coffin of Darkness effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to increase the mastery of the technique if he did not want the situation to repeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After training for hours, he got the gist of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This much should be enough for Darkness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let go of the hand signs and switched the infusion inside his Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Darkness to Water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The output of his Divine Energy shrunk instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had trouble maintaining a steady pace of conversion and the process was slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brows creased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hours passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And finally…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water droplets dripped from his palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The success broke Neo's focus and the conversion stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fell to his back, drained physically and out of Divine Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile blossomed on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I did it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at the Status Window to know the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[8 hours: 26 minutes left until the Quest is terminated.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight hours…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was enough time to brush up his Water creating skill to a usable level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[0 hours: 10 minutes left until the Quest is terminated.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo sat on the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time was nearly up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would soon go to the Underworld and face enemies who could possibly kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've done everything I can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo trained using his Darkness and Water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He practiced his Spells and refilled his Divine Energy reserves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was just one thing he didn't do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Practice Aura Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a high-level technique and too draining on his Divine Energy pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would've practiced it if he had a week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A day was too short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo stared at the pen and paper on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked them up to write his will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What should I leave?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It needs to be something useful, since this time I might just die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I don't feel it would be right for me to leave a heartfelt letter behind while posing as Neo Hargraves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his calm words, his arms were trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't forget the brutal death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling of his flesh being torn apart as the Gremlins ate him alive was etched into his brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only reason he could sleep was because he exhausted himself to the limit every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he would remember the scene of his death when he closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked the pen and wrote...\u003C\u002Fp>",1066,"2026-05-30T08:00:57.451Z","2026-06-01T04:30:42.299Z",1,"novelbin.me","995d38ef197aae3626912b4ff596e6c94c91792969193e6d6a8df821dc9ca20a","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-64","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-62",839,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fextra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-cover.jpg"]
