Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 524

Chapter 524 Kane's Decision

'Or maybe I should attack.' 'After all, if Kane regains his Trait, there is no knowing how strong he'll become.' Neo did not plan to kill Kane, only subdue him, which was why he was hesitating. He would need to be far stronger than Kane to be able to subdue him without killing him. 'I should—' Suddenly, Neo stopped. The look in Kane's eyes, he recognized that. When Kane saw that Neo would not attack, he opened his mouth. "Where is Ava?" "If you didn't find her in Layer 3, then she is dead." Vlad answered as he summoned a thin stream of blood.

The blood warped around Kane's arms, and slowly formed patterns similar to the Runes engraved on his arm. "How did she die?" Kane questioned, surprisingly calm. "I don't know. But I'm judging she went to Layer 5 with Neo Hargraves and Zera de Beaufort, where she died along with Zera." "So Tartarus killed her?" "As I said, I do not know," Vlad answered. "But that does not matter. Tartarus will revive her. Right now, your focus should be on helping me defeat Neo Hargraves. "If Neo harms this Layer anymore, it would cause irreversible damage to the Tartarus World. And damage to the Tartarus World might make it difficult for Tartarus to revive your daughter." "I see." Kane's eyes dimmed. He had been helpless when his wife died. He wasn't even with her during her last moments.

He had vowed to protect Ava and not repeat the same mistake. But the tragedy repeated again. 'I guess Zeus was right.' Kane's aura stilled. Even though his Trait was unsealed, he showed no signs of wielding that power. 22:59

'I'm cursed by Fate.' 'Wherever I will go, death and despair will follow.' Kane's aura stilled. Even though his Trait was unsealed, he showed no signs of wielding that power. "What are you thinking about?" Neo questioned. "I…" Kane looked at his hand. "I am thinking about this world." He spoke to no one in particular.

Neo showed no signs of interrupting, and Vlad used the precious moments to recover. "There are only three types of people here. "True people that have their sense of self. "True people that have lost their sense of self, and become puppets of the nightmare. "Fake people that were born here. They were just puppets created by the nightmare." Vlad realized something was wrong. The Blood Dragon narrowed his eyes. "Kane Williams. This is no time for these philosophy. If you don't fight, you will lose your daughter forever." "Daughter?" Kane chuckled. His voice cracked. "My daughter was a stillborn. She died when her mother was killed. Ava isn't my daughter. She is just a fake, who…" Kane couldn't complete his words. Ava wasn't the child Erza gave birth to, but was she fake?

And if both sides had same rank, then elemental clash would happen. Now, Neo could heal injuries that were inflicted by attacks even if they were of a higher rank than his own. Hell Descent strengthened the Hell by five times when it was summoned. [Objective 'Defeat or subdue all Great Disasters singlehandedly' has failed.] Neo saw the notification and shook his head. Since Vlad escaped, the quest ended up in failure. 'That's two quests I failed I guess. One back in Shadow Trial, and one here.' Suddenly, Neo wondered if things were going to get fucked here too just like they did in Shadow Trial after the quest failed. 'No, that won't happen.' 'Besides, I technically didn't fail this quest.' 'I already have a way to reduce the madness, so one can say I never needed the reward, and it was fine to ignore this Quest.' Neo checked the memories of Zone 7, Zone 8, and Zone 9. His mood soured. He shook his head, trying to not focus on the memories anymore. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}

Instead he looked at the abilities he got from the Protectors. "These are good, but let's not use them for now.

"I already have a good skill set, and if I try to just use more techniques without figuring out a new fighting style, it will do more harm than good." Neo exhaled audibly. He was as prepared as he could be. "Can you remember the pre-altered timelines if I regress?" Neo questioned. "I could if we were fighting outside, but not in this Layer where there are almost no ambient Time Elementals." "So if there are ambient Time Elementals here, you can remember the pre-altered timelines?" "Yes? The Elementals will tell me when time is reverted." "Got it." Neo weakened the World Energy barrier surrounding him. Time Elementals instantly materialized around him. They invaded his body, eroding it slowly. Kane furrowed his brows. "What did you do? Time Elementals seem to hate you a lot, which is surprising since they rarely do that." "…we had some disagreements." Kane nodded, not prying anymore. "Anyway," Kane said. "Since you asked about regressions, I suppose you are planning to travel back in time and fight Tartarus?" Neo nodded. "Don't do that yet. First, defeat him here, then travel back. If you just regress, you will lose a lot of energy and your chances of defeating him will fall. "But if you can defeat him here, you won't have to worry about losing to him in the past, even after losing a chunk of energy, since you know you are stronger." Kane's words made sense. Neo decided to do as he had said. "Let's go over our strategy before we start," Kane said. "Tartarus is Stage 4, but luckily for us, he has been losing powers since long ago. "His main body is now probably around somewhere above peak Stage 3, but lower than Stage 4. "The problem is this nightmare world. "It was created when Tartarus was still Stage 4, and he used the many energies for it with nightmare element as its base," Kane explained. "How is it related to our fight?"
