Exorcist's Insanity: Son Of Hades

"The child invites demons to this house. He must be exorcised."

Williams opened his eyes in shock.

His heart skipped a beat for nearly a minute.

"Fuck."

The words of Lord Frost undoubtedly provoked Mistress Nadia.

She was the second wife of the clan and was even treated poorly at that.

Several times, Mistress Nadia had been caught practicing forbidden doctrines in order to bear a child—just so she would have the first heir instead of the first wife.

Which was why she was now living in the lower quarters of the mansion.

"Don't dare call my child a demon," said Mistress Nadia. Her eyes were now glimmering with tears.

The baby could not hear the words of the mother, but he could undoubtedly understand every word Lord Frost said.

He knew the decision his father had made was to kill him.

Even though he had just arrived a few hours ago, he would die again—the most pathetic death by the hands of a grand exorcist.

"The child must be given the will to live. Tell him, elders," said Mistress Nadia, a mumbling voice.

Lord Frost stood there, looking at her. He was going to kill the baby.

"Pardon me, my lord, but Mistress Nadia does have a point. The child should be given a chance."

"Yes, Lord Frost. Let's not forget his coming brought the death of a billion demons."

Before anything else could be done, a knock was heard on the door.

It was another midwife from the upper quarters of the clan.

"Lord Frost, I bring news about Mistress's birth. She has safely given birth to a girl."

"Two saviors from the Frost clan. Which could it be?" an exorcist muttered. He thought no one heard him.

However, after staring at the baby, Lord Frost spoke. "Definitely not this one."

Mistress Nadia grit her teeth. She had promised to repent from her ways, but it was clear her husband still saw her that way.

"I will be back."

Lord Frost said no more. He walked out with his exorcist to see his first wife and second child.

'What should I do now? Aah, this isn't good.'

He felt helpless, confused as to why Hades would even reborn him as a child.

On top of that, in the house of a grand exorcist.

Exorcists were divided into seven ranks based on powers and demons exorcised:

The Awakener,

Preacher,

Saint,

Divine,

and the Grand—being the third to highest position of an exorcist.

Which was why the clan head could sense the slightest fracture of a demon unlike the rest.

If it was the highest ranks like an Exalted,

or a Grand Exalted Divine Saint, their presence alone purifies the surrounding, and the baby—if a demon—would cease to exist by just their presence.

'Hades, I don't know if you should be wise or not, but this is the doing of a fool. Not even something to guide or protect me as an infant, just—'

He honestly felt frustrated. His mother's wet tear touched his forehead, making him finally open his eyes.

'How pathetic can this woman be? Instead of you to give me away so I could escape, you're pathetically crying on me.'

Just as he felt hope was lost, he heard a sound in his head.

-[Ding]

-[Synchronization Complete!]

-[Awakening Items...]

A dark panel interface appeared in front of him.

He froze for a moment, staring at the panel. He could clearly read what it said.

-[Registering User: ??? Frost]

-[Binding user to Monarch Of Death]

-[Binding Completed]

'Binding?'

Watching the game-like panel, he thought with a confused look on his tender baby face.

Another black screen appeared in front of his eyes.

-[Title: Son Of Hades]

-[Rank: Awakener]

-[Authority: Death, Shadow, and Reaper]

-[MASTERY] – [The more you master the authorities, it grants a unique skill]

-Death: 0/10

-Shadow: 0/10

-Reaper: 10/10 [Unique Skill: Reaper Summon]

-[Unique Authority: Instant Death]

-[Stack: 0/3 — once Unique Authority is used, a stack is removed and resets in 24 hours]

-[Stack Time Left: 71 Hours 58 Mins 40 Seconds]

-[O my son; you have been authorized to share some of my dominant authorities]

He froze for a second looking at the panel before becoming overjoyed.

'This is good... interesting. If there wasn't a timer, I would have killed this pathetic woman, then that man, and of course... who else?'

Speaking of the man, Lord Frost walked into their quarter dressed in a royal white suit with the exorcist emblem.

And a black fur coat hung on his shoulder, with his sword beside his waist.

His exorcist followed him right after he entered.

He carried in his hands his newborn daughter from the first wife.

"I sense nothing in this child. She's pure and from Jah," he said.

He sighed.

"Lady Nora has pleaded that her child would need an older brother. So for the sake of my daughter Eva, I will let this—"

Lord Frost paused, wondering what he should call the child in Nadia's embrace.

Then he recalled her talking about giving the child the will to live. He chuckled.

"I will let Williams live because of my daughter. You can resume your stay in the upper quarter from the grace of my daughter."

Lord Frost said nothing else. He didn't even look at Williams before he left, smiling while playing with the baby he held.

As if he had been holding his breath, Williams gave out a heavy sigh.

'Naming me Williams again... I almost thought I reincarnated to the past,' thought Williams. His life, according to his father, had just been spared because of his little sister.

He looked at his panel, specifically staring at a skill.

-Reaper: 10/10 [Unique Skill: Reaper Summon]

'Summon Reaper. How does this work?' thought Williams.

'Reaper, come to my aid.'

At first, nothing happened, which made Williams think he looked like a clown.

He needed the Reaper to explain things about where he was.

Then a ding sound echoed in his head.

-[Command Detected: To summon the Reaper, one must use the word "ARISE"]

Williams blinked.

He was handed to the midwife, who placed him in the cradle.

"Be quick with packing my things. Finally, we're returning to the upper quarter," said Mistress Nadia.

She turned to look at Williams by her side at the cradle. 'He looks exactly like his father. That cold look and ice eyes scare me,' thought Mistress Nadia. She sighed.

"ARISE."

One word from activating his skill, the room was now under the pressure of death.

Mistress Nadia turned to look at Williams. She was the only one who could feel his aura because most of the midwives in the room were likely Preachers.

But she couldn't see the figure cloaked in darkness with a dark scythe—

Standing before the cradle, with his head bowed.

"O Child of Hades; You Summoned Me."

'I summoned you; please come'
