My Soul card is a Reaper

While it appeared like a high-rank-6 platinum grade Arcana, its true strength is somewhere between mid-rank-7 to high-rank-7 platinum grade Arcana spirit. Not to mention, it can use the soul power of both Azzy and Leah.

The only problem is the control. As the merged Arcana spirit will obey both of their orders, if their opinions clash even on a little strategy, it will be difficult for it to follow the orders.

So, that is why Azzy had already come to an agreement with Leah.

He gave up on controlling Izaru (\'Iza\' from Izarok and \'Ru\' from Ruby) and stepped back for this last bout.

The spectators don\'t know how they merged without the use of any skill card but every Arcana Master would be able to realize that the merged beast is always stronger than either of the individuals.

So, rather than the appearance of Izaru, they were largely surprised by the actions of Azzy and Leah. After all, it isn\'t necessary to go out all against these rank-5 Arcana Masters unless Azzy and Leah have some feud with them.

One of the twins named Braxton spoke as they stand just a few meters apart from Leah, "It looks like you are taking us quite seriously, Princess."

The other twin named Taylor then added, "It is indeed an honor. We won\'t feel any regrets even if we lose against children of heaven like you two."

However, in the next moment, everyone\'s confusion disappeared when Leah responded to their statement with a serious expression, "Drop your act. You can fool others but not us. Now, stop hiding your true strength before you get the chance to."

At first, both of their facial expression stiffened, wondering whether their identities were exposed but Leah\'s latter sentence made them believe that their opponents probably were talking about their soul power.

The Decarune seal might allow one to hide their soul power from even a Supreme Realm expert but the celestial grade Arcana spirits were different.

Both of them instantly unsealed their soul power, revealing their low-rank-7, and high-rank-7 respective soul realms, shocking the audience.

Staring at them, the Proctor mumbled, "no wonder they are confident and didn\'t summon their Arcana." He then glanced at Azzy and Leah, "It\'s a pity that their journey is going to end too quickly."

Meanwhile, Azzy and Leah took a glance at each other. "We will not change the plan." She said. He nodded and raised his arm. Four Protos Spears were conjured above his head, consuming almost all of his remaining soul energy. However, he didn\'t bother to use a recovery card to refill his soul energy.

On the other hand, the twin brothers of team Sentinels were no longer smiling and had serious looks while tightly gripping their sabers.

Leah made the first move. "Izaru, let\'s go." She and the fusion Arcana spirit dashed towards the high-rank-7 opponent, leaving the weak one to Azzy.

It looks like the opponents were also on the same page. They decided to separate Azzy and Leah so that they don\'t get to cooperate. The appearance of the merged Arcana forced them to follow this strategy.

Azzy grabbed one of the Protos Spears and clashed with his opponent\'s sword. Taylor protected his saber by covering it with his soul energy. Looking at the dark red-colored energy that is resisting the Protos energy quite well, Azzy thought, "So, this is the demonic energy, huh. It is quite stronger than I expected."

The Protos spear and the saber clashed quite a few times. Every time they collided, the demonic energy around the saber would be disappeared while the size of the Protos energy would be reduced along with its power.

As Taylor has three times the soul power of Azzy, he wasn\'t worried about getting burned out and continued to pour the energy into the saber. Meanwhile, Azzy also found that his opponent was able to keep up with his speed quite well.

Azzy took the second Protos spear into his hands and resumed his battle. In the meantime, he started absorbing the natural energy from the surroundings and storing it around his soul orb.

Taylor sensed it too and he thought Azzy would become a giant just like earlier. He unleashed his skill right away.

Azzy saw his opponent\'s brown pupils turn into red slits as the demonic energy covered his body.

All of a sudden, Azzy stopped moving as his consciousness was pulled into a powerful illusion.

A smile escaped from Taylor as he raised his saber and aimed at Azzy\'s chest area. He intended to stab his heart and kill Azzy quickly before helping his brother who appeared to be in disadvantage under the relentless attacks of Leah and Izaru.

Azzy found himself standing on top of a tall and thin rock, surrounded by a sea of lava on the bottom. Screams echoed in his ears and the source of those sounds appeared to be coming from the lava.

For a moment, his heartbeat raised a lot, and the beads of sweat were seen on his forehead. His body was shivering on its own despite the fact that the temperature in the surroundings is hot. "Is this fear?" He looked at his shivering hands.

"Calm down, Azrael." The familiar voice of the Reaper was heard in his mind. The Reaper then blocked his senses to not develop fear and said, "This is a region of the hell called the Tartarus Sea. Below this contained the prison of Tartarus where the demonic spirits were imprisoned as a punishment so that they won\'t get a chance to reincarnate.

And this clearly tells that atleast, he isn\'t a surviving member of demon race or a descendant of demon but a demonic spirit from hell who took over the body of a human."

Azzy was taken aback by the new piece of information. "Are you serious?"

"And in the outside world, he is now planning to kill you. If you don\'t make up your mind, then, you will die and everything you have done will become useless. I\'m going to send you back. The rest is your decision." The Reaper knew that Azzy won\'t die, or rather, the Protos energy will not let him die. It will shield him if he goes to the brink of death.

But, he wanted to motivate Azzy to kill. The more he kills the evildoers, the stronger he will become. Not to mention, there\'s a secret about the Night clan\'s assassin that the Reaper was still hiding. To reveal the truth, the Reaper must confirm that Azzy had clarity regarding the death punishments. And that only happens when he kills without feeling any hatred towards the sinner.

Fortunately, Azzy wasn\'t the same person he was before he killed the werewolf. His view regarding death has already changed. That is why, as soon as he heard that the human was actually possessed by the demon, he already made his decision in his heart.

Chronos sent his consciousness back to reality and Azzy found the saber almost piercing the place where his heart is located. He twisted his body in reflex and the saber pierced his shoulder.

"Damn it, this brat is already back? How did he escape the illusion of hell so quickly? Even a person with a strong soul, it will take a while to resist that environment." Taylor felt frustrated and he pulled back the sword. Azzy\'s blood could be seen on a part of the blade.

Meanwhile, the demonic energy invaded Azzy\'s body. Of course, it was eliminated right away.

Now that Azzy saw the intention of his opponent with his own eyes, his determination only grew stronger.

<strong>"Soul skill: Soul absorption."</strong>

As soon as Azzy unleashed his most powerful soul skill, all the soul energy from his opponent escaped from his body and entered Azzy, shocking the spectators.

All of a sudden, Taylor became so weak that his legs couldn\'t even support his body and he fell to his knees for a moment while his saber fell on the floor.

"Goodbye, demon."

Giving a cold gaze to the fallen opponent, Azzy didn\'t waste any time in launching the remaining two Protos at his opponent. One pierced the skull and the other pierced the throat.

*Thud*

The body fell to the ground lifelessly. There was a look of shock on the face of the dead body. The spectators including the Proctor turned speechless to see that it was over too quickly.

"Drazzan…"

Braxton screamed as he spotted him, addressing him with a different name.

"Good," Leah nodded with a smile before turning towards her opponent, "now, it\'s your turn."
