My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 276 Azzy Spars With Estella

As Azzy powered up his strength with usual energy armor, a frown appeared on Estella. "President Rael, what are you doing?"

Azzy answered, "If you want me to take this seriously, make me."

"Yes, that's the way." Claire was grinning from ear to ear as she felt her boyfriend look so cool saying it to the face.

"Is that so?" Estella summoned the storage card and took out her bow.

All these years, she was looking for a partner/ rival that can make her stronger. Now, she had not only met one but two rivals. Estella had already gauged Claire's strength. She felt it's time to test Azzy's strength.

"Well, then. Let's see how much stronger I got during this time." Azzy cracked his knuckles and clenched his fists. He then charged forward.

"He's coming." Estella felt tensed up as she saw her opponent turn into a blur. She closed her eyes and hurriedly poured soul energy into her eyes to power up her eyesight.

While it didn't give her superior sight like the Eyes of God or Eyes of Truth, still, it boosted her vision enough that she can see Azzy, instead of blur.

Realizing Azzy's aim, she hurriedly activated the soul skill. <strong>"Levi, unleash the soul skill: Hardened defense."</strong>

Meanwhile, Azzy reached the giant serpent and threw a fist at it. The Leviathan with over a 50-ton weight naturally wouldn't be blasted away. Adding on top of that, now that it raised its defense for a short period of time, the beast didn't even move an inch from the spot. However, as its weight is also distributed all over the body, its upper body swayed back and one of its scales got destroyed.

At the same time, it generated a tremendous amount of repulsive force, pushing back Azzy more than a dozen meters.

"Woah…"

The spectators were amazed by seeing how tough Leviathan is. In their heads, Azzy was the strongest.

Claire's face darkened as she didn't expect its skin would be this tough. She couldn't help but remember her battles where she couldn't even leave a scratch on the beast whenever it unleashes the soul skill.

Meanwhile, a smile appeared on Estella as she pulled the bowstring and conjured an arrow. "I'm not in the same league as the ones you have battled until now, Prez. Now, it's my turn."

She released an arrow. To her surprise, Azzy didn't move from the spot and just stood there in silence. With God's Eyes, he can see the incoming arrow very clearly. In his eyes, it was too slow. But, his primary focus is on the energy arrow.

"First step, sensing." With his senses heightened to the maximum, Azzy sensed the energons, which are usually called the natural energy particles.

"Second step, Absorption." With just a thought in his mind, Azzy started to absorb energons rapidly.

"Third step, merge." "Fourth step, expulsion."

From the start to the finish, only four seconds passed away and a translucent layer of energy appeared over his energy armor.

By this time, the energy arrow reached him. Azzy quickly raised his hand and caught it. In the next second, the arrow was crushed in his palm.

"This, what energy is that?" Everyone wondered in a daze.

"This boy somehow managed to use natural energy," Garuda spoke to Estella through their telepathy. "But that layer is too thin. Either he wasn't used to it or he completely mastered it." Leviathan voiced her opinion.

"Okay, let's try this again." Azzy kicked the ground and dashed forward at his maximum speed once again.

"This speed…" Estella's eyes widened as he turned into a bit blurry again. However, she could still see his path. "Levi, tail sweep."

She passed an order and conjured another energy arrow, shooting it at Azzy who reached Leviathan again.

Azzy jumped and dodged Leviathan's tail sweep. In the mid-air, he sensed the incoming arrow from behind.

But, it was still away and will take a couple of seconds to reach him. So, he proceeded with punching at Leviathan once again.

*Dum*

A loud noise was generated from the collision. This time, Azzy's punch thoroughly destroyed one of its scales and penetrated its skin but got stuck. The upper body of the serpent swayed a lot, but this time, it wasn't able to balance and started to fall back.

Despite the situation, Estella was calm. In fact, she was smiling as her arrow almost reached Azzy's back and it was about to pierce the target.

Just before the energy arrow was about to pierce his back, Azzy's left hand raised and caught it at the perfect time before it was crushed once again.

"Damn it. Garuda, let's get down."

*Screech*

The giant eagle let out a powerful screech and flew towards Azzy whose movements were temporarily halted due to his hand stuck in the leviathan's skin.

"Azrael, gather the energons at your right palm and use eruption in the same you use for soul energy. In the meantime, twist your arm to blow it up altogether." The Reaper's advice flows to his head, at the same time.

Azzy then, rapidly absorb the natural energy particles from the surroundings and rapidly gathered at his stuck palm. At the same time, he raised his left hand towards the incoming Eagle. Three Protos spears that looked like pitch-black giant needles made of energy appeared around his palm while consuming half of his soul power. "Go."

Three Protos spears cut through the air at the speed of the sound and flew towards the beast.

"Garuda, destroy them."

Garuda, the platinum-grade giant eagle opened its beak. A gust of wind emerged from its mouth. The wind and the Protos spears collided but the former cut through them, forcing the beast to flap its wings and dodge the attack upon sensing the terrifying power hidden in those tiny needles.

Garuda flew up and the Protos Spears passed it. The beast continued to fly towards him.

"Sorry, but they are the extension of my limbs, not simple attacks." Azzy made simple motions with his left hand. The Protos spears that were traveling towards the sky with no aim suddenly made a u-turn and chased after the beast.

"It's best if you shoot down them," Garuda suggested its master while continuing to fly. It was only a hundred meters away from the target and will reach in a few seconds.

Estella turned around and looked at the pitch-black spears. She conjured an arrow within a fraction of a second and shoot at one of them. The arrow collided with the Protos spear but the former got destroyed instead. "I guess I need more soul energy." She conjured a second arrow, which consumed more than thirty percent of the remaining 50% of her soul energy.

Meanwhile, Garuda almost reached Azzy and it raised its talons to pierce him. Just then, Azzy mumbled, "Three isn't my limit."

A fourth Protos spear was created at the tips of his fingers and it shot towards the beast.

*Screeee*

Due to the low distance, the Protos spear pierced its target, the eye of the Eagle, making it crash on the serpent that was trying to get up.

*Argh*

A Protos Spear pierced Estella's hand. The remaining two pierced the fallen Eagle from the back.

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise. Arley Blood's face turned serious as he saw black patches are appearing on Garuda at a rapid pace. "It is indeed the energy from the cosmos. Is he even a human? Or is he a being like us, the evolved species?"

In the meantime, Estella sensed her energy is getting out of control as some foreign energy invaded her system. At the same time, she was losing blood continuously from her left wrist.

"Time to finish this serpent…" Azzy mumbled to himself as he successfully managed to twist his arm perpendicularly and expelled all the natural energy gathered by his palm.

A concentrated beam of translucent energy was shot from his right palm. The beam destroyed everything in its path and within a few seconds, the leviathan's head was exploded with the energy beam breaking through it and continued to travel straight, destroying the wall of the Arena. After that, it disappeared into thin air.

Estella was bathed in Leviathan's blood from top to bottom and she kneeled there on the ground in a daze. It was too much of a shock for her. In the meantime, Garuda was filled with black patches here and there. The beast was trying its best to fight against the Protos energy.

After freeing his hand, Azzy kicked the ground and took a great leap, landing before his competitor.

"You may be a twin Arcana user and possessed platinum grade beasts but you aren't strong enough for me to go all out."
