My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 326 A Rank-6 Can Operate His Arcana From Hundreds Of Kilometers Away?

A couple of minutes passed away; Azzy was in his mindscape, watching the memory he received from the Reaper.

He was inwardly surprised when he saw how easily the Reaper and Leah defeated the Sphinx. More than the display of strength, it had shown the Reaper's wisdom and Leah's accuracy.

After that, he saw the demise of the spirit of the demigod. Azzy was sure that if he had been in the position of the Reaper, he would have probably allowed the spirit to escape from there.

And then, he finally saw the face of the fatty prince of Rivendell. It was within Azzy's expectations that this potato will seek revenge. So, he wasn't surprised to see them at the pyramid. However, what surprised him the most is how the Reaper left him and his companions alive.

Azzy thought that those five received a proper punishment, although, with the fatty's incredible background, he would be able to repair his soul orb sooner than the others. Rivendell treasury would have several medicinal herbs anyway.

After watching everything, Azzy didn't blame the Reaper, rather thanked him for not killing anyone and also helping him with killing that fake Gideon. Azzy couldn't kill him back then because he feared that he will do it for real if such a case arrives before him. So, he was grateful to the Reaper for that help.

But the biggest issue is participation with Leah.

First of all, it is in the senior division, where every Arcana Master below the age of 100 can participate. Exalt realm experts are common. What he fears is the possible participation of legendary realm experts.

Secondly, he was 100% sure that Claire will not be happy with it. According to the rules, a candidate cannot participate in the same events of different divisions, which means, if Azzy and Leah register as a duo in the senior division, he cannot participate in the duo category in the junior division.

He was originally planning to register with Claire but now, it cannot happen with the Reaper giving his word.

Of course, she will be displeased but not because of the reason he thought it to be though.

After preparing with enough reasons to convince Claire, the heir of the Death clan returned to the real world and contacted his biological mother to find her whereabouts.

Her reply came off as a huge surprise to him. He didn't understand how she could abandon him and her duty to go away on some urgent business.

Then, an explanation arrived from the Reaper who stated that there was someone else who was looking after him.

Azzy looked around. When he found no one, he activated aura sensing. There was something that is right behind him.

He immediately rolled forward in instinct and turned around only to be startled upon finding a familiar-looking wooden staff with a cobra head, which is leaned to the trunk of the tree. Its eyes are glowing red.

"I see, it's the sorcerer who was keeping an eye on me, huh," Azzy mumbled to himself. While he confirmed who Izora's replacement as his guardian is, he wasn't sure whether the staff can follow on its own because it is not only a tool type Arcana but is also barely at gold grade.

He stood up on his feet and walked a few steps. Surprisingly, the cobra-headed staff flew into the air and followed him.

"Oh, now, that's interesting." Azzy was amazed when he saw how it changed the directions according to his movements. "How about this…" A playful thought appeared in his head.

Azzy suddenly charged forward. The cobra staff was alerted and it chased after him. He cut to the left, then, right, then, U-turn, jump onto the trees, etc…

The cobra staff had tried its best to keep an eye on him but unfortunately, his speed was superior. Eventually, it lost him and then, the staff turned left and right, wondering where its target went. Azzy was hiding behind the bushes and watched it from far away.

"This is fun. Should I try it again?" He grinned inwardly as the staff passed the bushes while looking everywhere, not expecting someone to be sitting behind him like a ghost. "What are you doing?"

A familiar voice was heard behind.

Azzy felt a jolt all over his body and he jumped forward, revealing his location to the cobra staff. As he turned around, he found a 6ft classmate with pointy ears with a foolish grin on his face.

"Louis?" Azzy was taken aback. They were separated back when he left towards the pyramid. If he's here, that means Uphiar is also here and not just his Arcana, the cobra staff?

"It looks like you like playing hide and seek, Azrael. I didn't expect you have this side too." Louis let out a comment, embarrassing Azzy a little bit.

Azzy cleared his throat and looked away towards the horizon, quickly changing the subject, "what were you doing here, anyway?"

"I was training, obviously," Louis answered him, shrugging his shoulders. But, very quickly, he understood what Azzy was trying to ask. He further said, "While Amara (cobra staff) is keeping an eye on you under the absence of instructor Crescent, I was sparring with the teacher about a couple of hundred kilometers away. Because of the constant winds, the sandy desert has an uneven surface. I thought training in such an environment will make me better.

You woke up and left its sight; the teacher got panicked and ordered me to fetch you. Who could have expected that you are having fun here…

Anyway, now that you are here, come with me. We have found something like a secret hideout nearby our training spot."

Louis quickly created something like a portal, except that it is more like a door. The cobra staff skipped several times before reaching them and entering it.

Azzy didn't step in for he is currently frozen like a statue. "Azrael? What happened?"

"A rank-6 can operate his Arcana from hundreds of kilometers away?" Azzy murmured in shock. "How is that possible?"
