My Soul card is a Reaper

The splattered oil on his body didn\'t do any damage but Azzy felt a bit humiliated for letting the other party punch him. Now, even his mask and clothes were dirtied…

He felt like he was getting beaten lately.

But then again, it\'s not Azzy\'s fault to think that way. His opponents were no longer in an equal or weaker realm for him to establish complete dominance in a fight like he usually did in the past timeline. They were all powerful figures.

And the Reaper almost rolled his eyes upon listening to his thoughts. Who is Azzy? This guy is just a 14-year-old brat of the 7-star realm who never had the opportunity to go all out from the beginning to display his full strength even against 9-star realm experts.

"Azrael, don\'t kill him just yet. You need to confirm the truth before delivering the verdict." As the Reaper brought Azzy out of his stupid and conceited thoughts, the latter thanked him upon realization and rose to his feet.

He was about to leave the kitchen but the Jinn, following its master\'s orders, came to him and made it easier for Azzy.

Meanwhile, the Reaper took the initiative to direct the battle, not intending to let his host make dumb mistakes like earlier.

"Azrael, activate your God\'s eyes, then, summon your undead general, followed by the cursed skulls, and then, the lightning beam. Oh, don\'t forget to reveal the crown and shield in the meantime. And you should also summon Vajra to keep an eye on the target before finishing off the Jinn."

"Eh?" Azzy was a little bit taken aback by the strategy played out by the Reaper. "Don\'t you think it is a bit of overkill?" He asked. "Not to mention, Uphiar won\'t run away while leaving behind his Jinn, right? You told me that once the Jinn dies, it will go back to the mirror just like our Arcana but the artifact might need to be retrieved personally by its owner."

"Our aim isn\'t just to kill the Jinn but also to instill fear in that demonic soul," replied the Reaper.

"Why?" Azzy didn\'t understand the Reaper\'s plan at first before something clicked in his mind. "Do you mean…"

Before finishing his words in his head, Jinn\'s fist was already in front of his eyes.

Azzy hurriedly dodged it but didn\'t expect the Jinn to ambush him cleverly.

"Argh…" he screamed in pain as something resembling an anchor with the chain pierced his thigh from behind, all of a sudden. Corruptive demonic energy invaded his system but was quickly neutralized by the Death energy.

"Why didn\'t you just activate God\'s Eyes as soon as I told you? It\'s a basic thing to do when confronting a superior enemy," scolded the Reaper.

"Sorry for being an idiot. Maybe, you should have chosen a clever host…" roared Azzy back at the Reaper in frustration. Being in a rebellious teenage phase, it shouldn\'t be a surprise if Azzy would be calm after getting lectured over and over again. Not to mention, when he was surprised by the Jinn\'s ambush.

"Fine, I\'ll keep quiet. Solve it in your own way. Just so you know, I have your back." Knowing his host\'s thoughts and feelings, the Reaper didn\'t try to push him further and compromised.

As Azzy closed his eyes and summoned the black crown, which appeared on his head and automatically healed his injury without much effort, the Reaper mumbled to himself, "Well, in the end, everything will go according to what I have envisioned no matter what course of action you take, Azrael. And tonight, you will have a faithful servant for sure."

Meanwhile, Jinn\'s face was frozen for a second as his eyes fell on the adamantine crown. "The Jewel of Life?"

Azzy, who didn\'t focus on the Jinn\'s expression, launched his combo attack, following the Reaper\'s plan.

"Soul skill: Rise of the Undead"

The humanoid skeleton rose from the floor and glared at the enemy, surprising the Jinn once again.

The undead skeleton lunged at the Jinn, who hurriedly backed off to gain a bit of distance only to get his throat grabbed by the skeletal hands because of his earlier momentary shock.

All of a sudden, the battle was titled in Azzy\'s favor and he felt confident once again.

"Soul skill: Eyes of God"

His eyes turned pitch-black and a crescent-shaped pendant appeared over his neck.

"The Jewel of Lightning…"

The Jinn\'s throat was about to get crushed by the undead but his gaze couldn\'t just leave Azzy or more like the cosmic gems. All the Jinns were billions of years old just like the gods and angels. They too were born during the creation and had a familial connection to the cosmic gems.

The Jinn knew that he will die and go back to his prison (the mirror) if he doesn\'t get away from the undead. He knew that he had to follow the orders of his master but his concentration was completely grabbed by the cosmic gems and he couldn\'t resist it.

And by the time he managed to resist everything and became focused, Azzy launched a beam of black lightning from the middle of his chest where the Yellow colored jewel is resting.

Azzy didn\'t know how he did it. But, from the moment he bonded with the jewel, he felt like he could do it if he wanted to. It was a natural instinct like breathing that one doesn\'t need to learn from someone.

The lightning beam passed through the undead skeleton after detecting it as a part of Azzy and struck the Jinn.

A massive hole formed in the middle of Jinn\'s upper human body while the two walls behind him were destroyed.

The destruction of a part of the building along with the power of the lightning beam instantly alerted the officials of the city and all the Arcana Masters passing nearby.

Some were afraid, some were panicked, some were curious, and some got ready to go to the 26th floor of the hotel and resolve the situation.

And it wasn\'t just them who were alerted. There was someone else too. The moment Uphiar sensed the power of a Supreme Being inside the lightning beam, his expression completely changed. Confidence left him and he was scared like hell…

"A supreme being is here to hunt me down? Even if he wasn\'t, there\'s no way I might be able to face him."

Uphiar no longer intended to battle him and decided to run away. He passed an order to the Jinn through their telepathic connection.

While the Jinn holds him off, he will run away. As for retrieving the Jinn and the mirror, they were already bonded and there\'s no way to sever their bond unless he agrees to it. Even Barton did the same when he faced the royal ancestor of Northern Qudour on the night of the Champions League final. So, there\'s nothing to worry about.

After freeing himself from the Claws of Death using energy eruption, Uphiar quickly used a random teleportation card and escaped from there.

By the time Azzy realized it, Uphiar was already gone. The Reaper wanted to remind Azzy about how he advised summoning the wolf to block the enemy from running away but he didn\'t do it.

Fortunately, he held back.

Azzy himself realized his folly and made an apology, to which, the Reaper told him to focus on the enemy before him.

"Ugh…"

As the Jinn slowly rose into mid-air while the hole on its chest made by the lightning beam is recovering at a slow pace, Azzy acted without hesitation. "General Hildegard, grab him…"

The peak-rank-9 undead skeleton quickly grabbed the Jinn from behind.

"Soul skill: Spear of Death"

With a stab to its forehead, he killed the Jinn while it didn\'t try to resist and get away for some reason.

Once the Jinn\'s spirit returned to the mirror for recuperation, Azzy let out a deep sigh, "what now, Chronos? Should I turn back the time or is there any other way?"

\'Now, you want to listen to my advice?\' The Reaper wants to say it but held back at the last second and said, "Simple, contact that alien girl from another world right now and ask her to track him down. Now that you know his identity and remember his aura, whether he hides in Arcana world or the city, mountains, or deep in the ocean, you can hunt him. The faster you contact them, the easier it will be.

Oh, by the way, you should also leave this place. There are people coming here. And don\'t forget to pick up the mirror."

*Sigh* "Yeah, I should do that…"
