My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 134 Champions League Part-3



The participants and their representative instructors entered the Arena.

As the beautiful princess of Camelot entered the arena, wearing snow-white robes, everyone appeared awestruck and just stared at the girl who looked like an embodiment of pureness.

Even her opponent looked at her as if he fell in love at first sight.

However, everything changed as she drew the sword.

Mid-rank-5 expert Walter who was representing the Sun academy knew that he wasn't a match for his opponent who is not only a peak-rank-5 expert but also the holder of a platinum grade spirit.

All he intended to do is fight as much as he could and impress her a bit.

But, as soon as she drew the majestic sword of Excalibur and spoke, "Kneel before the Queen," a golden aura emitted from her and around the sword.

Walter's fire sword left his hand willingly and fell on the ground. Strangely, as he tried to pick up, it neither wishes to be held by its master's hand nor wishes to return to the mindscape.

Form their connection, Walter understood that his fire sword cannot move from the spot until its King, the Excalibur orders it.

"Admit defeat, Mr. Walter." At the moment, her voice appeared so majestic that even he thought of kneeling before her to pay his respects.

He admitted defeat right away understanding that it's foolish to go against Leah barehanded.

"This is the girl I talked about, Azrael." While everyone in the waiting room was puzzled to watch a duel that barely lasted a few seconds, Azzy was conversing with the Reaper who told her that this is the person who is the holder of the celestial grade spirit.

"Somehow, the sword feels familiar. I think I have seen in some historic records, somewhere. Chronos, what is its name?" Azzy asked the Reaper while his eyes were glued to the screen, more specifically at the sword's handle where there's a drawing of a dragon at the end.

"It's called Excalibur, the symbol of authority. It is like a king to every Arcana spirit out here. Any spirit with Gold grade and lower cannot rebel against its authority." After explaining its prowess, the Reaper further stated, "Of course, it won't have any effect on neither me nor Vajra. So, you can be assured if you ever battle her."

"Why would I battle her?" Azzy was puzzled instead. He was in the group category and she's in the solo category. There's no chance of them meeting. Little he knows that the Reaper wasn't talking about the tournament…

Meanwhile, Claire, who spotted Azzy, felt a little bit angry misunderstanding that he was staring at the image of Leah that was displayed on the screen. She felt a little bit jealous of Leah.

At the same time, not being able to read Azzy's expression frustrated her even more.

After the day-1 battles in the solo category is over, Exea announced the matches in the duo category.

The most prominent match is the one between the twins from Freyles Academy who are from the Ash clan and the duo from Dragon Academy.

Surprisingly to everyone, the Dragon Academy lost under the aggressive attacks from the twins. Even Azzy was amazed by the match, especially regarding their perfect teamwork.

From start to finish, neither of them spoke a word, and yet, they executed the combo attacks very precisely as if it's natural for them.

"Irene Ash and Albin Ash..." Azzy noted down their names in his mind.

After that, finally, it's the group matches turn. However, Twilight only faced disappointment as they weren't selected in the draw. Neither Unicorn was selected too.

Azzy immediately suggested to his teammates to leave for the training instead of wasting time.

However, as there is a match from the Dragon Academy, Gideon rejected his suggestion and called for a vote.

At first, the majority voted against the idea.

However, as Mia voted in support, explaining that she needs to work on her archery skills, Azzy nonchalantly replied to her that they can just train together while everyone can just stay in the room and watch the match.

Upon seeing that, Claire changed her word and tagged along while giving an excuse of helping out her friend.

Feeling bad about not staying with the team, Snivy also changed her decision, which made Gideon reluctantly followed the rest of the team.

The team of five exited the Arena and left for the other training grounds where they can train in peace without any noise pollution from the audience.

After all the group matches of Day-1 are finished at around 7:30 in the evening, the competition was stopped in accordance with the rules, and the hosts informed everyone to return the next day.

In the meantime, Team Twilight is working harder at the rocky habitat. Before Mia, there is a horde of skeletal beats, ranging from low-rank-3 to peak-rank-3.

She was practicing her archery on them while shooting from the treetop. On the other hand, Azzy was trying to control them and passing instructions while standing in the back.

It wasn't only Mia, but he was also helping out Snivy and others to use the undead beasts as the target practice.

And at the same time, he was also trying out different things to confirm his theories.

During the process, Azzy learned that they were really undead and don't actually get disappear unless they were completely destroyed without even any ashes.

If not, then, as long as Azzy poured a little bit of soul power, the destroyed beasts will repair their body by themselves and even rise from the ashes if they turn into ash.

Of course, there's a disadvantage too. It was Claire. All her light attribute attacks will erase them from existence and they don't return to his mindscape either.

It made Azzy wonder whether it was only Claire or just any other light user will be able to harm them like it. Along with it, using the healing cards on them also produced a negative effect. They get self-destroyed even under the healing cards.

No one knows who leaked the news but soon, the members of Twilight found themselves audience around the habitat to see the huge number of skeletons that were being used as target practices for Azzy's team members.

Even though the necromancers were hated everywhere on the continent, still, it didn't stop some people from being fascinated to watch the skill that can let control several beasts at once.

It forced Claire to put a stop to their special training and called for the day. Later, she informed her team members about changing their practice place to a forest, instead.

In places like them, it would be hard for the spectators to watch the training from outside without interrupting.

After having dinner, Azzy studied a bit and then, went to sleep.

This time, he was dreaming about the Champions League. As his name has been called, Azzy and the other entered the Arena. However, once again, the surroundings changed to a familiar throne hall.

His teammates also disappeared.

Azzy didn't panic a bit as he was familiar with this situation. "I was dragged into the dream by the ancestor, once again."

Azzy saw the old man was waiting for him. Azzy walked towards him without feeling nervousness.

Stopping a couple of feet before him, Azzy directly confronted the issue, "Why did you come into my dream, again? Is it due to the altered timeline?"

Azzy didn't hide it cuz he thought this is might be the reason. There's no other reason why he wanted to meet him.

Before the old man replies anything, Azzy explained himself, "If that the case, then, it's not completely my fault. If anything, it is the fault of the platinum-grade beast that entered the human world. I will fix it sooner or later."

Qridus didn't say anything for a while and stood in silence. He then slowly opened his mouth and spoke softly, "my descendant, return to the home. This is only the safest place for you in the world."

"What… What did you say?"  Azzy's eyes widened in shock and took a step back.

"Although I don't know your name, child, I confirmed that you are my descendant and a clan heir from the future, possibly trapped in this timeline. Return to the clan village. I will help you out…"

Even the Reaper frowned by hearing his words as he didn't expect it.
