Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 740

Chapter 740: Another Site, Laplace

"What!?" Felix spun in his chair, eyes wide. "You’re almost at the Fifth Class advancement already? That doesn’t even make sense. I’m only level twenty-two! How are you so far ahead?"

"Calm down." Percival chuckled.

But Felix kept going, throwing her arms up. "Don’t tell me to calm down. How are you this high? I’ve been working non-stop. I’ve got nothing to show for it, and you’re almost at Fifth Class advancement. This is insane."

Even as she complained, there was a faint smile tugging at her lips.

Percival’s chuckle deepened, amused at her mix of outrage and envy.

Arthur, listening faintly through the training room comms, shook his head.

He wasn’t surprised.

Felix always had energy to spare, even when she was frustrated.

For her, progress had always been slow.

Even with a soul weapon, it had taken her fifteen thousand years to claw her way up to Stage 2 before Neo gave her another path.

Percival, on the other hand, had risen like a storm.

His ability to see the tapestry of Fate in vivid detail meant opportunities opened before him like doors waiting to be stepped through.

He had surged to Stage 5 in what seemed like no time.

But then, suddenly, he stopped.

He could no longer climb higher.

It was strange.

It was as if he was missing something integral.

As if he was missing a part of his own body, and until he got that part back, he could not get stronger.

Percival had tried to find a way to get stronger, but there was no solution.

"It’s your Fate reading ability, isn’t it? That’s what you’ve been abusing to get ahead, right?" Felix leaned forward on her chair, eyes narrowing. "Help me too, Dad."

Percival’s lips twitched at her shameless attitude.

"If you help me, I’ll set up shrines in your name." Felix pressed her palms together in mock prayer. "I’ll make sure all my descendants pray to you. Come on, Father Percival, don’t abandon your child."

He rubbed his forehead, realizing too late why Arthur had slipped away with the excuse of training.

Dealing with Felix when she was like this required patience that no one had.

"All right, all right," Percival said, cutting her off before she could continue her performance.

Felix grinned, satisfied with her small victory.

The ship carried them smoothly through the last stretch.

Hours later, the Whiterun Site came into view.

A massive planet swirled in thick purple smoke, the atmosphere alive with streaks of red lightning that cracked like veins across the sky.

It looked unstable, and dangerous.

Arthur left the training room, Amelia stepped out from her quarters, and the four of them gathered in the central chamber.

The ship descended toward the surface, its shields rippling as they broke through the smoke.

"Final checks," Percival said. "Remember, the ambient elementals here are corrupted. Use the suppression spell Neo gave us as soon as we step out."

Arthur nodded.

Amelia murmured the spell under her breath.

Felix slapped her chest confidently, though the edge of nerves was visible in her eyes.

The ship landed with a hiss of pressure.

The doors opened, and the four stepped out into the haze.

Immediately, the berserk elementals pressed against them, strange whispers trying to burrow into their skin.

But the spell flared, keeping them out.

Percival looked at his group one by one.

"Be prepared to fight at any moment. The Supreme of Void is our biggest concern, but that doesn’t mean the rest of this place is safe. Anything here could kill us. Stay sharp. Especially you, Felix. Your defense is—"

He never finished the sentence.

Something dropped from the sky.

It came with such speed that even Arthur’s instincts couldn’t track it.

One moment Felix was grinning at Percival’s lecture, and the next, a crushing impact shattered the ground.

Dust and lightning burst outward.

When the smoke cleared, Felix was gone.

Her body was crumpled under the foot of a dark figure, crushed like a tin can.
