My Soul card is a Reaper

As the tip of the arrow, Claire was the first to launch an attack with the twin golden swords, slashing at Aurelia.

The Supreme Realm expert who suppressed her realm dodged the attack with a duck and grab Claire's wrists to throw up in the air. Claire controlled her wings to fly and managed to land behind her while the two beasts arrived before her.

And now, Aurelia found herself surrounded by Claire, Vajra, and Hydra.

Azzy, who closely followed the beasts from behind, passed an order.

<strong>"Vajra, Soul Skill: Lightning Net Prison"</strong>

<strong>"Hydra, use Soul Skill: Quick Sand"</strong>

Azzy knew that Aurelia can just punch through the lightning net and escape the confinement. That's why he added another trap with Quick Sand and threw the dark spears at her.

As if Claire understood Azzy's thoughts without even planning ahead of the test, while Azzy unleashed the soul skills simultaneously, she dismissed the twin swords in her hand and created a golden rope that was made purely of her energy and attacked Aurelia from behind. At the same time, she also used her wings to fly and escaped the Quick Sand effect. As for Vajra, Azzy, and Hydra, all of them are linked to each other. So, they weren't affected by the Quick Sand and could only feel the sand below them softened.

"Good." Upon seeing Claire's action, he nodded in satisfaction. With this, he felt that his attacks will be successful.

However, to everyone's surprise, Aurelia didn't even bother to resist and let herself be captured by the rope with a smile, then, the lightning net, got her hands and torso pierced by four dark energy spears and slowly started to sink. She felt her soul energy is being absorbed by the Quick Sand at a rapid pace while strands of unique energy invaded her soul orb to corrupt it.

Within a few seconds, more than half of her body was sunk. At this state, Claire has no choice but to dismiss the golden rope as she would only help the opponent if she kept holding on to it. Nevertheless, she wasn't relaxed a bit. Claire continued to create golden spears one by one, taking the advantage of the fact that her soul power is being restored instantly.

By the time Aurelia sunk up to the shoulder, Claire had over dozen spears floating above her head, waiting for her order to pierce the enemy as soon as the latter gets free.

"What was she up to?" Azzy was puzzled about Aurelia's behavior. He knew that this Camelot's Royal Teacher has the habit of allowing to be struck by his attacks but she would never take this much time to get free.

He felt something's wrong and immediately unleashed the Reaper's first soul skill, Eyes of God, turning his eyes into pitch black with no visible pupils. As soon as he activated God's Eyes, he took a step back in surprise. "Claire, behind you." He immediately alerted her.

"Huh!" Claire got a little bit confused as she couldn't sense anyone behind her. Just as she was about to turn around in reflex, she felt a powerful force hit her in the abdomen. She flew away at a high speed. Azzy was quick to act and caught her in mid-air and slid for a couple of meters upon landing on the floor before he stopped. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Claire's eyes then shifted towards the direction where she was originally standing before and frowned. "Something hit me..."

"It was the Royal Teacher," Azzy answered her, with his eyes darted from the sinking figure and the aura of an invisible woman who performed a sneak attack on Claire.

"She looks like a clone." Azzy further said to her, making Claire remember Zona for a moment.

In response to Azzy's statement, the sinking figure turned into tiny specks of light particles and suddenly, the invisible figure materialized to form Aurelia herself and stared at him, falling into thoughts, "so, he could see invisible people even after they mask their aura, huh. I thought it could only see the movements in a slower motion. This soul skill has almost the same abilities as the Eyes of Truth. The only unsolved mystery here is the no reduction of soul power when unleashing the soul skill. I wonder what might be the second Arcana spirit that he was keeping so secret. Does Leah know it?" She glanced at Leah for a second before shifting her eyes back to Azzy.

She praised the both of them, "I'm impressed that you managed to find me. And this isn't a clone. It is just an illusion created by bending the sunlight around me."

"Eh?" Claire and Azzy were taken aback a bit as they didn't expect it is just an illusion, a simple yet quite complex technique that wasted their soul power.

"It is a two-step process. First, she became transparent by allowing all of the sunlight to pass through her. Then, she controls the light particles around her to create a fake image of her before you two. Because she used her soul energy as a medium to create the illusion, both of them have the same auras and fooled your vision.

Had your mastery over God's Eyes increased, this situation wouldn't arise. But, it wouldn't matter. You made a blunder here even if you are inexperienced. If you had paid attention to her more closely, you would have realized that she doesn't have a shadow. A bit careless on your part, Azrael." The Reaper explained him in detail, although not forgetting to lecture in the end.

"Got it," Azzy took a note to his mind to pay attention to such things in the future. After all, if she can create one illusion by simply controlling the light particles around her, then, she can create a hundred illusions too.

As if Aurelia read his thoughts, she created ten illusions and mixed herself in them to see what they will do now.

Claire was a little bit taken aback by the new development and observed them carefully. Suddenly, something clicked in her mind. Before Azzy spoke to her, she said, "Rael, keep an eye on the surroundings for the invisible attacks, later. If she can turn invisible by bending the light, then, she can mask her attacks too. We need to be careful. And as for these illusions..." She then pointed her finger at one of them, "Only she has the shadow. I'm not sure whether she can also mask in or leave it purposely for us until she does so, we can ignore others and go for her straight."

Her quick analysis surprised Leah who was standing on the sidelines. She didn't expect Claire was also this smart. The more Claire started to shine, the more Leah feels annoyed inside but she did manage to keep it under control and mask her thoughts completely.

Five minutes later, as Claire and Azzy's offense ended, Aurelia made her move. Just like Claire feared, a lot of her attacks were invisible and fast. Aurelia even attempted to confuse the both of them by letting her illusions attack too. At first, Claire was struck a lot because she didn't have the same vision as Azzy. But later, as Azzy decided to stick with her, both of them managed to defend well enough until the time is up.
