My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 373 World League: Senior Division - Battle For Top 16 Spot (Part-2)

In a moment, the entire platform was frozen in ice, blocking the concentrated beams of dark energy and water effectively.

Every second, the ground below the participants would shake and then become calm down, shook again, and go on…

Blair and Docie didn't expect that their hidden attacks would become completely useless.

Meanwhile, Leah made her next move.

"Fire"

The couple saw the ice below their feet turn hot but still didn't melt it. It was just for a few milliseconds but in that time, they experienced extreme cold and extremely hot at the same time.

Having sufficient information on her soul skills, both of them readily moved away. As they left the place, flames rose in that spot. It was similar to their attacks, although she doesn't need any long preparation to unleash it.

Their reflexes saved them from getting crisp but the ice below them made it slightly uncomforting because of their sneakers. Anyway, they are rank-7 experts. Such minor things don't need to be worried about. With soul energy covering their feet, they can even walk on water.

For a while, Leah kept attacking them with bursts of flames and they dodged them skillfully one after another.

Her onslaught went on for a whole minute. Azzy doesn't know how long she can do it because she kept that crucial piece of information a secret but what he realized is that the gap between each attack started to increase. On the other hand, her soul power wasn't being consumed at all.

If Azzy can realize it, then, veterans like Blair and Docie can also realize the same. They felt that Leah took 1 second for each attack when she started and now, it is nearly 4 seconds.

Considering how Azzy wasn't coming forward, the duo wanted to test her limits. As a result, they kept on dodging for the next two minutes. Now, the interval between each attack was more than 10 seconds.

"Fire"

The burst of flames once again rose from the ground.

As soon as they evaded it, the musician duo counterattacked at the same time.

A dark wisp was generated from the flute and then transformed into a shield, covering Blair and his wife. Meanwhile, Zither produced three wind spears one after another.

After being covered by a dark barrier, they suddenly started to play a fast melody.

All the energy patches hidden deep in the ground released the beams before combining to form some kind of creature.

On the surface, Azzy and Leah joined their palms once again. After reflecting the three spears back to the opponents with six spears, Leah asked him, "how much longer?"

"I was actually done a while ago," Azzy replied.

"What!" Leah was taken aback. She couldn't help but shout at him, "Then, what the hell are you doing? Go and attack."

"Aren't you the one that told me to not underestimate them?" He countered using her own statement.

"Then, you stopped thinking like you can win this easily?" She asked, continued to bicker.

"Nope, I still stand by my words," Azzy replied with a straight face.

"Argh… you are unbelievable. Alright, just get to work. Go, go…" Leah acted a little bit frustrated on the outside but she loved bickering with Azzy like this. The fact that Azzy letting act like this made her feel like they were friends once again.

After the date incident a week ago, at first, Azzy was a lot uncomfortable getting close to her.

But during the past week, as Leah tried her best to be friendly despite his reluctance to reciprocate the same, he eventually decided to get things between them how it was before the date. After all, he will soon return to the present timeline and everyone except for Excalibur will forget him anyway.

After that, Leah will live her princess life at the Camelot, helping her father while he goes to Claire wherever she will be to make her remember the past and get back together. Then, why should he bother acting all distant? So, he tried to act the same as before.

Back to the battle, the three wind spears reflected back with a double in number pierced the dark barrier. Five of them destroyed the barrier and the remaining one pierced the Zither lady. A blood wound appeared on the stomach.

Docie didn't bother to heal herself and neither did Blair reapply the barrier. Both of them fastened their pace.

"Incoming, be careful," Azzy warned his partner before using his stored natural energy to turn into a bacterium-sized person. To everyone including Leah, it looked as if he turned invisible.

Azzy rushed forward at his peak speed. At the same time, following their master's orders, Vajra jumped onto Ruby, the black lotus before the latter flew into the air. A few of the petals wrapped over the wolf, making the spectators wonder what they might do.

As soon as he left the place, suddenly, the frozen ground cracked and some beast shrouded in energy broke through it and landed before Leah.

The beast looked like a beast with the head of a shark. It has twin attributes of water and dark.

The Princess of Camelot still didn't remove the effects of her soul skill. Continuing to wait for the cooldown timer, she ordered the Aqua girl to make the move, "Izarok, Restraint it."

She planned to restrain the energy creature and then destroy it with flames.

As for Blair and Docie, while couldn't spot Azzy who disappeared from their view, they sensed his presence. They knew that Azzy is rushing toward them and were also aware of the presence of two powerful Arcana in the sky.

Knowing that Azzy doesn't have the ability to reflect the attacks, Docie sent concentrated wind attacks in the direction she sensed Azzy. The latter skillfully evaded every incoming attack and reached them.

Upon reaching the two of them, Azzy kicked the ground and jumped high.

"Ruby, unleash the soul skill: Whirlwind"

Upon receiving the order, the black lotus tilted in the direction of its targets and started rotating at a terrifying pace. The black wolf, which was wrapped by its petals, was perfectly fine and its gaze was fixed on the man.

At a speed of 190 km/hr, the whirlwind attacked the couple. However, it wasn't just the wind. As the black lotus unleashed the soul skill, it let go of the wolf, and Vajra was pushed by the powerful wind. It raised its claws.

Docie hurriedly caressed the strings and sent a gust of wind that is even more powerful than the soul skill.

Previously, she only tested the waters with a rank-6 attack. Now, her attack power is in rank-7 and the wind was over 225 km/hr, capable of not only countering the incoming whirlwind but also blasting away the wolf.

Unfortunately, all of this was just a giant distraction for keeping her occupied and getting Azzy enough time.

Azzy who reached the peak point started falling down. Taking advantage of the gravity, he falls towards Docie. By the time she nullified both of the attacks, he was only a few meters above her.

"He's here…" Docie sensed his presence but it was too late to realize it as he unleashed a giant palm known as the Divine Palm of Buddha using all of the natural energy he stored.

It was twenty-five meters in size, filled with translucent natural energy, making the couple realize the power of a beginner stage of the legendary realm (low-rank-8) inside it.

In reality, it was close to mid-rank-8.

"Shit, he got us." It's the only thing that came to the couple's heads as the divine palm hit them from the top.

They released all of their soul energy to form shields and protect themselves but the divine palm flattened the both of them, destroying the ice followed by making a huge crater.

At some other place on the battlefield, the creature, which appeared to possess the power of a platinum grade rank-7 beast, was biting Izarok's water tentacles and ripping them off to get free.

Izarok is completely made of water and is invincible until its core was damaged. Once a tentacle goes off, she can recreate it again and again as long as she wasn't evaporated. As Izarok tried its best to hold down the beast, Leah rushed forward with purple-colored soul energy dancing around the Excalibur.

But, before she reached the target, the beast exploded, releasing all the energy.

Leah blasted away and crashed onto the ground with the ice floor disappeared. For the first time in the tournament, she spits out a mouthful of blood as she tried to stand up on her feet only to see the mighty divine palm straight ahead.

"He did it…" She lies on her back and took out a healing card with a smile on her face while the Proctor announced their win.

"Team Camelot wins the match and proceeds to the top-16."
