My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 149 Champions League Quarterfinals Part-4

Azzy never planned to use Skull of Darkness from the start.

Even after being trapped, he only planned to use the Death spear to take out the rhino.

However, he didn't like the way they wanted to use trap skill cards to drain out his soul energy and defeat him, instead of attacking him together,

He was offended and thoroughly pissed at such a cowardly method.

Azzy decided to teach them a lesson.

Depleting most of his remaining soul energy, he unleashed the five-star Skull of Darkness.

"Hehe he he hehe" As the eerie laughter resounded across the stadium, even his allies couldn't help but flinch, feeling spooky. The only ones who are unaffected are the owners of platinum and above-grade beasts.

Due to the flaming eagle's intervention, Iphi couldn't hear anything and she continued to attack Mia.

Meanwhile, Luci frowned as she raised her head.

She realized Azzy almost reached the peak and will start coming at any moment.

Looking at the laughing skull, Luci remembered how Azzy used it to battle a beast that belonged to a representative of Moon Academy.

Even though more than two weeks passed, the scene of the bull losing control and becoming wild was still etched in her mind.

"Everyone, don't let that skull hit…" Before she finished her sentence, Azzy threw the skull.

However, to her surprise, the skull's target wasn't them but the flaming eagle that was flapping its wings in the air while its owner was busy in her own battle.

"Iphi, an ambush from your behind, careful…" While Luci quickly changed her words and warned Iphi instead, as a platinum-grade beast, the flaming eagle had already sensed it and let out a screech to notify Iphi.

Iphi momentarily halted her attack and turned her head to see Azzy in the sky while a purple skull was coming her way while laughing.

It was only then she realized that Azzy freed himself. "What a despicable fellow. Attacking a person from behind. Hmpf…"

Her impression of Azzy had further fallen. Like Luci, she too remembered about the skull. In fact, their representative instructor specially instructed them to dodge Azzy's attacks better rather than blocking them as they are mysterious to analyze and dangerous to face.

So, Iphi opted for the only way that she can face it head-on.

Conjuring the energy arrow between the fingertips, she shot the arrow towards the skull to destroy it.

To her surprise, as the energy arrow met the laughing skull, a tiny black hole emerged within the skull's mouth that swallowed the arrow.

For the onlookers, it appeared like the arrow traveled into the skull's mouth and disappeared. Except for advanced realm experts and Azzy, only Iphi saw what happened exactly.

In fact, even Azzy was surprised that the skull of darkness had this sort of function. At first, he only thought the skull wasn't that special except for the ability to corrupt others' soul energy due to the presence of Death Energy which was powered up by Protos Energy.

Then, after his battle with Gold Lyre from the Moon Academy, he realized that this laughter can induce a mental attack. That is the reason he decided to test in on Eagle to see if it can affect a platinum-grade beast's mind.

He didn't expect that this unique skill of his is far more powerful than he thought it would be. Swallowing an energy attack? Now, that's anything but normal.

Little did he know that the surprises didn't end there…

With expectations in his heart, Azzy stared at the eagle and Iphi while descending from the sky.

"hehe he he hehe he…" the Skull of darkness continued to laugh as it made its way towards the Eagle.

Having no other choice, Iphi ordered her Arcana to dodge. She couldn't be reckless in an important match like this even though it kinda hurts her pride to evade the attack, especially when the attacker is someone she hates.

Flapping its wings hard, the flaming eagle flew a few meters higher so that the skull goes on its way.

But, she didn't expect the skull to suddenly tilt its head and changed its direction on the way, which is something that is unlike any other skill card that she had ever seen in her life.

"Fly, Hyde…" Iphi no longer stayed there.

The students from the Central Academy were reminded of the guided missiles they had learned about in their school textbooks.

Although the laughing skull's speed was nowhere near the flaming eagle's, still, as the target has been locked, it continued to follow wherever the Eagle is flying.

Meanwhile, Azzy, who was descending, took out a five-star recovery card and applied it to himself to recover his soul power.

Just as he was about to land, Captain Luci whose eyes are on Azzy from the start attacked him while he was still in the air.

With the eyes of God, Azzy saw her moments clearly. However, his body is still in mid-air. So, there are only two things he could do.

One is to embrace the attack and the other is to block it with the spear.

He wanted to choose the first option but his instinctive reflexes kicked in and made his hand block the incoming saber with the spear in his hand before his brain passes the order.

As a result, the five-star saber petrified into charcoal almost instantly before disintegrating into ashes.

Luckily, Captain Luci left the sword as soon as it touched just as she had planned earlier. Even though she lost an expensive weapon, Luci felt it was worth it as Azzy's death spear also disappeared.

"Ardella…" As Luci gave the signal, her team ally uses the trap vine skill card to try and capture Azzy once again.

But, Ardella and the others were distracted a bit because of the skull that was chasing Iphi. So, they weren't able to react right away which gave Azzy enough time to land and dash toward the healer.

As he planted a kick in her stomach without any soul power, the mid-rank-5 healer only received mild pain in her stomach while she flew a dozen meters away before falling onto the water. Her flying pig oinked and flew towards her.

"Everyone, attack…" With the trap cards failing one after another, Luci didn't want to waste them anymore and gave the order for a combined attack against Azzy.

"graa…"

The beasts roared as they rushed towards him.

At 10'o clock, there's the sword user Dewy and her giant Pangolin. On his front, there's spear user Misty Queen and her Zebra. And at 4 o'clock, Lucian Hearth took out another saber from her storage card before rushing toward him.

The Armored giant Rhino was kept at the shore to defend against a possible ambush from Azzy's allies.

However, Azzy's teammates still aren't moving from their spot because of Claire who was watching them seriously.

As for Azzy, he simply closed his eyes and gathered soul energy, powering up his whole body.

More than a hundred thousand soul power worth of soul energy has been reduced from the soul orb.

An outline of soul energy covered Azzy all over his body on the outside.

Luci and the others thought Azzy was probably powering up his physical strength.

It was only after they neared him that they realized they were wrong.

Before the opponents get to him, Azzy used the energy that erupted from his body on all the sides, blasting away everyone off the island.

While Luci was fast enough to defend herself and successfully landed on the water, the Zebra and the giant pangolin were heavily injured before they fell into the water while throwing off the hosts of their backs at the same time.

Azzy then raised his hand and made a fist.

Looking at it, Claire ordered, "Gideon, now."

Despite being amazed, Gideon wasn't in the mood to waste the opportunity his best friend gave him.

<strong>"Soul skill: Ten thousand volt shock."</strong>

Putting his sword under the water, Gideon unleashed the soul skill, electrocuting everyone that was in contact with the water.

With the water as his support, Gideon's soul skill damage reached the next realm, thereby injuring him heavily. Only Luci felt a mild shock while the armored felt nothing due to its thick defense and high level.

As the girls screamed for a couple of seconds and went into a paralysis state for the next five seconds, Claire, Gideon, and Snivy dashed towards their opponents leaving behind Vajra at the island to safeguard the Oaktree and its owner.
