My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 608: Seeking a friend's help



"Huh? Even to know it?" Azzy scratched his head, baffled.

His brain buzzed with curiosity, "It is related to cosmic jewels for sure, but based on my understanding so far, the Protos energy in my body seems to be more powerful than the three cosmic jewels." His thoughts raced, speculations flooding his mind, "Will they gain immunity after becoming Arcana spirits or something? But, that kind of info doesn't seem as serious as Chronos mentioned though.

What could it be? There must be more secrets to the cosmic jewels and their powers."

"Don't try to overthink the matters that will serve no purpose to you, Azrael. When the time comes, you'll understand everything," The Reaper interjected, his words cutting through Azzy's spiraling thoughts. The message was clear – he was tuned in, "Focus on the current matters at the moment. Think about how you get back there and bring your friend here to fulfill your promise."

Azzy's attention snapped away, a successful distraction in action. The reminder that Louis had defeated him did the trick.

Strolling through the city streets like any regular teenager, Azzy got down to business, crafting a solid plan. He realized Louis had the upper hand with his powers. The Reaper, Arcana spirits, Sage techniques, and sealing tricks were off-limits thanks to the world's laws.

"Hmm, the powers I could definitely use are the Protos energy and the cosmic jewels. The problem is that Jewel of Life has no use other than making sure I don't die from any injuries. The Jewel of Lightning, on the other hand, is purely destructive. It is a type of comic jewel that is used on enemies, not friends.

The only cosmic Jewel I could depend on is the Jewel of Earth. I haven't been able to spend time mastering it to see what it was capable of, but theoretically, I could create metals out of nothing and I could probably control the rocks and other things to use in a battle.

Oh, I have one more thing to use in a battle, the Plasma scythe…"

Reaching for his backpack, Azzy unzipped it and pulled out what seemed like a metal rod, about arm's length. "I better hit up Dr. Mac for loads of batteries. Need to make sure I'm not running out of Plasma energy, especially if I end up in some unexpected showdown.

Okay, now that's sorted, time to figure out how to get back to that place," Azzy mused. Frowning, he considered the challenge, "I no longer have the item and my hourglass can only reverse the time of the solar system at most. Who knows where that world I ended up earlier? It could even be in another galaxy.

But then again, traveling there is not an issue. The problem lies in locating Louis. If he is on that planet, he could be traveling anywhere.

So, my only shot is time travel and slapping a tracking seal on Louis. It should be powerful enough to stay hidden for years, even if he senses it, he shouldn't be able to remove it.

The problem is the Space Jewel. Hold on, there is someone capable of doing it."

A memory of the past suddenly popped up in Azzy's mind as he remembered the person, "If a celestial-grade beast can't feel the seal, maybe it'll work on Louis too, especially if we amp it up with our powers. Let's try it on a cosmic jewel first to be sure. If that fails, last-ditch effort, I'll go back in time and ask my master for help.

No time to waste. Let's get to it."

To kick off his plan, Azzy swung by Dr. Mac's secret lab. He snagged more batteries and floated the idea of a test run somewhere other than in the realm of Angels.

Next stop? Camelot. Through the world portals, he landed in Arcana world's Central City and hopped back into Gaia. A quick exit at Camelot's Castle Town portal followed.

Playing the Garcia family card, he strolled into the castle, effortlessly passing through the gates. Now, he settled in as a guest, waiting for Leah's return from her court session.

"Azrael!" Leah's face lit up with joy the moment her gaze met his. Swiftly leaving her father by the guest room entrance, she closed the distance and enveloped the teenager in a warm hug. It was as if it's been years since they last met.

"What brings you here? You didn't even send a message. Is everything alright? I heard that you brought the elven princess with you. Are you going to get married to her? You are still very young, you know.

You should not be hurried on these things. Oh, and by the way, I finally made a breakthrough, and…"

*Ahem*

Leah steamrolled on, leaving Azzy no chance to talk. Her father intervened with a fake cough, indicating to her to let the other person speak.

Azzy greeted the King of Camelot and settled in beside the duo. He dipped into the purpose of his visit, speaking vaguely, "I'm actually here to ask for a favor."

Leah chimed in, "Come on, don't be so modest. We go way back." She gave Azzy's shoulder a friendly slap, acting like a close pal.

"Way back?" Her father looked surprised. Even Azzy raised an eyebrow; Leah wasn't the type to make mistakes.

Leah realized her slip and covered it up, "I meant the Garcia family. Pendragon and Garcia have a history of a hundred thousand years."

"Yeah, right," Azzy went on with the flow and said, "I need you to create the tracking seal that couldn't be broken even by the cosmic Jewel, in case of discovery." He then shifted his gaze to the middle-aged-looking fellow, "Uncle, I wish to borrow your Jewel of Water for the test run."

"Eh?" "Huh?"
