My Soul card is a Reaper

Back to the present, Azzy, once again, saw the aura of death on his mother. He continued to be in the cycle of becoming transparent and materializing.

<strong>"Come out, Ruby" "I summon you, the weapon of Chronos, the Death Scythe."</strong>

"Puyi"

Jumping on top of the giant black lotus, Azzy grabbed the death scythe.

"Hmm?" "Hmm?" The enemy and Izora suddenly sensed the presence of others and they couldn't help but look in the direction.

"Who is this kid?" The person in Exo suit wondered.

"A scythe?" A trace of surprise appeared on her face at the same time.

"Fool, you forgot about using Embodiment of the Heavens." The Reaper suddenly scolded him.

"But, there's no Supreme Realm expert here though. Moreover, the fight is in the air. I have to take Ruby's help. So, I thought it was unnecessary." Azzy replied.

"Well, your thought process isn't wrong but you have forgotten that at present, she isn't your mother. That lady is the daughter-in-law of the Death Clan. She's bound to report it to Qridus, later." The Reaper made him realize an important factor that he missed.

"What should I do now?" Azzy helplessly asked for advice.

The Reaper let out a sigh, "there's nothing you can do, now. Just help her in defeating the enemy and hope that she will keep it a secret at your request. But, make sure to shrink if you ever wanted to use the hourglass for single target soul skills."

"I understand," Azzy decided to put away unnecessary thoughts and focus on the battle. He ordered the black lotus to fly higher.

Meanwhile, Izora and Captain Virgil put aside their battle for a moment and stared at him. More than his face or his Arcana, they were looking at his state.

Izora furrowed her brows when her lightning dragon transmitted its thoughts to her through their telepathic connection. It was feeling a little bit overwhelmed by the strange energy present in the lotus and the scythe.

Under the curious gaze of Captain Virgil, Azzy reached the blue dragon. "Hello, Ms. Crescent. I'm Azrael, the foster son of Oakley Night and Affea Snieca."

"We met just a while ago. I remember you, Azrael." Izora replied to him. She further asked in a bit of confusion, "What are you doing here? And what's going on with you?"

"I'll explain it, later. But, first, heal yourself while I will hold the enemy for a while." Azzy dodged her question and stared coldly at the enemy.

"No, don't throw away your life unnecessarily. I know you are strong but he isn't someone who you can face." Izora advised him in a serious tone. After a brief silence, she added, "Moreover, I don't need anyone's help in taking him down. If I really needed help, I would have already asked for my uncle or someone else. So, go back kid."

Azzy felt like this biological mother of his was too stubborn. Just look at her state. She looked like she can die at any moment, and yet, she doesn't want to take the help.

He naturally didn't listen to her and proceeded with unleashing the first soul skill of the Reaper, right away, "Eyes of God."

After his eyes changed to pitch black with no visible pupils, he raised the death scythe and poured soul energy into it. Then, he glanced at her and replied, "This man is from outer space and is the enemy of everyone on the planet. I don't have a right to help you but you don't have a right to stop me either.

Whether you take rest and recover, leave the place, or attack him alongside me is entirely your choice. I'm going to defend my world by taking him down."

"This brat…" The Reaper shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or get angry. Just now, he said to Azzy that he should help Izora and in return, ask to keep the secret of his Arcana.

If he butts heads with her right away, how could he ask her later?

"Ruby, let's go."

Upon receiving the order, the black lotus flew towards the enemy at its top speed.

"Too slow," Captain Virgil shook his head and clicked on the trigger of both of the guns at the same time.

2 plasma bullets were shot from the gun, one towards Azzy and the other towards the dragon.

Under the effect of God's Eyes, everything is super slow and clear for Azzy. He simply tilted his head, dodging the bullet with ease, and summoned the storage card.

With a simple thought, a bunch of cards flew into his front pocket and the storage card was dismissed.

Meanwhile, Izora's lightning dragon breathes out a branching stream of lightning and destroyed the bullet.

Azzy then took out one card and activated the 5-star skill card.

"he he hehehe"

A peal of infamous hysterical laughter was heard in the surroundings as a purple skull was summoned in Azzy's left palm.

Azzy set Captain Virgil as his target and threw it at him.

Continuing to laugh, the skull flew towards the target. With Neo in offline mode, he couldn't guess what it was and could only try to destroy it.

*bang*

A plasma bullet was shot at the laughing skull. The bullet pierced the skull and the latter exploded right away, surprising Azzy, this time.

"I guess he's powerful, after all. But, my strength doesn't lie in the power of my attacks but the corruptive nature of my energy." Azzy raised the death scythe a bit higher.

<strong>"Soul skill: Rain of Death"</strong>

A dark cloud slowly started to form a few meters above the death scythe. As his soul power steadily decreased, the size eventually increased.

By the time he lost 100 thousand SP (soul power), a giant cloud was formed successfully, spanning 100 meters in radius. It is two times bigger than the last time he used it when he was rank-4.

As it completely formed, everyone heard the thunder within the cloud and black rain started to fall.

Azzy purposely flew at a lower altitude than Izora. So, she was safe from the rain. Captain Virgil was in the range. So, he was drenched in the rain for just two seconds before parts of his suit vaporized with just the touch of the black rain and he hurried out of there by flying higher.

Azzy and Izora could see his bare right shoulder, the biceps of the left arm, and the black hair on top of the head.

Captain Virgil looked at the black cloud and the person on the black lotus in wary. He was also a little bit panicking right now as the nanofiber suit wasn't self-repairing. The part was just destroyed.

Izora stared at the scene in disbelief. She and her husband fought for so long but they couldn't even scratch the suit properly. And here came a rank-5 Arcana Master who wasn't even one-fifth of their ages and he could damage the suit. What kind of terrifying power is that black rain?

No wonder her lightning dragon is afraid of that power.

Meanwhile, Azzy was inwardly surprised by the success, "is it this easy?"

The Reaper answered, "of course, he isn't some Arcana master that can resist the death energy. He is nothing but a normal human being who depends on advanced technology. I should say you are the bane of these people from outer space."

All of a sudden, confidence grew in Azzy's heart. He raised his head and looked at the enemy through the dark clouds, "Okay, the clouds are thick enough for any normal gaze to spot my actions."

Instead of using the rain of death to harm the enemy, he used it as a cover for his next step. It's because he knew that the enemy is faster than his black lotus. He can just fly higher and dodge the rain with ease. After all, the dark cloud moves according to its user. Even though it is strong, this soul skill had its own weakness like this.

He closed his eyes and concentrated on his soul orb. He could feel the enormous amount of natural energy that was absorbed but is unused until now.

"Om…"

He started to chant the mantra he was given by the Reaper in the forgotten ancient Sanskrit language. At the same time, he was concentrating on spreading the natural energy all over his organs and body parts.

Meanwhile, Captain Virgil resumed the battle with Izora above the giant dark cloud.
