My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 233 Rivalry Between The Princesses Part-3

"Fire" Leah attacked her again.

But, Claire's recovery ability was at the moment so great that it appeared as if she was invincible and nothing can harm her. Leah narrowed her eyes and glanced at the golden icy floor.

"This abundant amount of life force." Celus was taken aback to see Claire completely nullified the effect of Leah's soul skill.

"It's her unique skill card she created after researching for so long." Syllia passed a comment so that the prince beside her understands that this isn't soul skill and was the result of her sister's hard work.

It wasn't the first time she saw Claire using this skill card. Claire used it a few times in the tournament but every time Syllia watches it, she couldn't help but become proud.

Upon hearing Syllia, Celus was even more amazed. If it is some old man or some true child of heaven like his niece, he wouldn't have been shocked. But, the fact that Claire is only 15 years old and only awakens a gold grade Arcana made him realize that he can't underestimate the girl.

"Princess Syllia, once your sister mutates her Arcana during the breakthrough to rank-7, in theory, she would become invincible against the opponents of the same level," Celus added a remark, feeling amazed at her potential.

Syllia was naturally happy that someone is acknowledging her sister's potential and she didn't bother to be modest either. She replied with a nod, "My mother often says that she had the potential to surpass me because of the attribute purity and is destined to go to Celestial Empire of Heaven in the future."

Celus was skeptical about her proclamation and didn't take it seriously as it implies Claire will become a Demi-God. If becoming a Demi-God that easy, then, there would be so many experts would have ascended by now. The fact that only a handful amount of people became Demi-God in the past hundred thousand years tells how difficult it is to achieve.

Meanwhile, Leah fell into thoughts. "The last time this girl used this skill, the range was a lot higher. Did she use a trick last time or was she using a lower rank skill card? It doesn't make any sense unless she's a fool to hold back against me. Then, did she use combo with skill cards?"

While she was trying to figure out the skill, the latter who recovered her soul energy made her move.

"Fire" Leah returned to reality and launches a quick attack. A burst of flames erupted from the floor once again. But, this time, she missed as Claire increased her speed and dodged the attack.

"Let's see how you can dodge this…" Leah motioned her arm to unleash the multiple burst of flames at the same time, taking Claire by surprise. However, the latter wasn't afraid of the damage as long as she was inside the Holy Ground.

She was hit a couple of times by the fiery flames but also recovered instantly. Leah quickly thought of another plan and started performing a seal.

Three mystical symbols drawn by purple energy appeared before going into a giant triangular formation, spreading across the place.

*Cling*

Just as both of their swords clashed and Leah was pushed back, she unleashed the seal. "Capture seal, Y Formation, activate."

All of a sudden, a thread of purple energy was unleashed from three seals, hitting Claire's waist, effectively halting her movement. She was trapped in the mid-air, three feet above the ground.

Claire tried energy eruption, slashing with the sword, flying with wings, but every attempt was failed. Only one thing that was left for her to do. Unleashing her strongest soul skill "Descent of Heavenly Guardian" and break free from constraints.

But, she wasn't in a hurry to do so as she was still in Holy Ground. She was confident that she won't be harmed at least for the next eight or more minutes. So, she thought of pouring all of her soul energy into the sword to cut the energy threads simultaneously.

It was at that moment, a smile appeared on Leah as she motioned her hand towards the left. Suddenly, the three seals started to move, dragging the trapped Claire along with her.

"What? What's happening?" Claire got panicked a little bit. Seeing the smile on Leah, she felt like her opponent is playing with her. She was angered.

She proceeded to pour all of her soul energy into the Holy sword, making it glow very brightly.

"Oraaa…"

Claire slashed at the energy thread on the front. Sparks were emitted by the collision and the thread slowly started to cut. Claire pushed forward more despite being dragged to the side.

As the thread was cut off, the remaining two disappeared and Claire fell to the ground.

Just when Claire was about to rejoice that she had beaten Leah's trick, she heard the latter speak to her, "Too late, Claire." "Fire"

It was only then she realized that she was out of the Holy Ground. Before she even take out another card, the burst of flames ambushed her from below.

While her excellent recovery ability healed her eventually from the burnt injuries within a minute, Claire couldn't gain consciousness until a few hours later.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself in bed. Azzy was sitting beside her bed while reading Camelot's history book.

"I lost," she mumbled herself in disappointment.

Azzy who heard her voice closed the book and looked at her, "you are awake."

"Leah defeated me easily," Claire said to him.

Azzy put all the seals on his soul orb and let out a smile while grabbing her hand, "No, you are at disadvantage from the start. You know that. The fact that you lasted against her for so long tells that you gave a tough fight."

"Thank you." Claire also smiled in return for his encouragement. After all, she doesn't care about Leah. She was only worried about their relationship because of Leah and her insecurities.  As long as Azzy is on her side, she wouldn't mind getting defeated even for hundred battles against Camelot's princess. But at the same time, she swore to herself to work harder to walk at the same pace as Azzy.

"By the way, where are others?" Claire suddenly noticed that she was alone with Azzy in the room and even her sister, who insisted on sharing the room with her to protect her from possible abduction, couldn't be seen anywhere.

"Aunt and Uncle are touring around the city. Ms. Syllia said that she was going to spar with Prince Celus." Azzy replied and then, added, "She said firmly that I need to stay with you until she returns."

What he didn't say is that he stopped his training to look after her as he doesn't want Claire to blame herself.

"Anyway, we have a whole day ahead of us. Shall we also go tour around together?" He suggested, thinking that it might cheer her up.

"Sure," Claire's expression brightened. Previously, it was she who will always ask about a date. Azzy rarely takes initiative to ask her first. So, she was more than happy ever.

The two of them spent the rest of the day while visiting the hotspots within the Camelot that are packed with tourists from other nations.

<strong>The next day, at 4:30 A.M.;</strong>

Azzy, Claire, Syllia, Leah, followed by the usual two hidden guards of Leah reached the Mountains of Ascetair.

Once again, they stood before the Stairs of Gravity.

When Claire's eyes fell on them, her expression hardened. The previous day's battle surfaced in her mind.

"Rael, you go ahead. I'll train here for a while before continuing my spar with Princess Leah." Her decision was within everyone's expectations. So, Azzy nodded and followed Leah to the top.

A few hours later, Claire finally made it to the top and found a horde of skeletal beasts crouched on the ground. Only skeletal hydra was able to resist the gravitational force but it was still struggling to crawl around.

On the other hand, a blurry figure was throwing punches and kicks at the drunken old woman who seemed like she was playing around, dodging every attack with ease. She wasn't even moving around that much, except for taking a side step left or right.

As Azzy's entire concentration was on his training, she didn't disturb him and proceeds to walk towards the cave slowly. Syllia was following her as usual. As they reached the place, they saw Leah was busy sparring Celus.

Just like with Azzy, Claire could only see blurry figures here.
