My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 538 Azzy Spars Against A Student

?

As Ace couldn't control his anger and stepped inside the barrier to fight Raydon, Azzy's facial expression changed. 

Because he sealed his soul orb, his emotions are there for everyone to see on his face. And now, they saw clear irritation on his face.

He instantly acted by motioning his hand forward. Translucent energy was pushed out of his palm and took the shape of an arm before stretching forward to the boy.

Ace was caught by the arm made of natural energy and a look of surprise appeared on his face as he was raised in the air. 

Raydon's eyes widened in excitement. He turned his head to look at his combat instructor and thought, "This is exactly what I want."

Meanwhile, Azzy furrowed his brows as he looked at Ace, "I was friendly with your class because you are not troublesome students. So, don't test my patience, okay?"

Ace nodded like a baby bird for a few seconds and Azzy freed him soon. He then shifted his attention to the new student, "Raydon, it goes the same for you. We only have limited time and you are wasting too much of class time. Now, get out of the barrier."

Raydon wasn't afraid of Azzy like the others. He didn't back down right away and asked, "What about my spar? Five minutes of time limit would do."

Realizing that Raydon would have to be taught a lesson, Azzy nodded, "Alright but I won't give you the opportunity to fight with everything you have got."

He raised his hand. Within a blink of an eye, the Decarune seal was already formed and he pushed it toward Raydon.

The guy jumped higher in reflex to dodge the sudden attack but this ancient sealing technique was a locked one. It cannot be evaded. The seal struck him and his soul orb was sealed.

As Raydon fell on the floor, Azzy then said, "Now, you may fight with everything you have got. I won't use energy techniques either." He then instructed the others to clear the field.

The principal's curiosity increased. He was casually watching earlier and now, he put his entire focus on the teacher and the student.

Raydon rose to his feet and went into a unique battle stance. It was a strange one to the others but for Azzy, it was quite familiar. He recognized it at one glance.

"I thought only I and Aunt Evelyn know how to box. It looks like someone else was also aware of this long-lost fighting technique. Interesting," thought Azzy as he stared at his opponent.

He then gestured for Raydon to come at him. 

The student dashed forward with his head kept low and threw a punch at Azzy's abdomen with his knuckleduster.

Azzy sidestepped and dodged it. He didn't counterattack and wait for Raydon's next attack.

He expected Raydon to twist his body and threw an uppercut but his opponent didn't do that. Instead, he swiped off his feet to throw off Azzy's balance.

His leg even struck Azzy's ankle but it didn't go how he expected. Instead, he felt extreme pain in his leg as it was bruised. 

Quickly getting away, Raydon rubbed his leg in pain and mumbled, "Are his legs made of steel or something? I'm the one who got wounded."

Looking straight at him, Azzy then commented, "It looked like I was mistaken about you. It is a pity indeed."

Raydon and the others thought that Azzy was trying to humiliate him, not knowing that the latter was talking about boxing. Azzy was looking forward to seeing some boxing techniques but he didn't get what he wanted.

As a person who doesn't like to lose an argument, he tried to counterattack with a statement, "There's a clear difference between our realms. Our physiques aren't the same either. If you just want to humiliate me, then, do it after I gave my all. You will prove nothing by sealing my soul energy."

Azzy stared at him, wondering whether he should clear the misunderstandings. But, the student's attitude made it difficult for him to explain himself. He didn't bother to do it and snapped his fingers, dismissing the Decarune seal on Raydon's soul orb.

"I was talking about something else but it doesn't matter anyway. Here, you can now use your soul energy and all the techniques. Let's get this over with." 

Azzy's disinterest frustrated Raydon even more and he was determined to prove himself.

Summoning his soul card, he called out his Arcana spirit, "Come out, Carnwennan."

A dagger with an off-white-colored blade with a mystical rune inscribed on top of it made its appearance in the hands of Raydon. The Reaper instantly responded, "It is the same Carnwennan, no mistake. Did this blade fuse with an Arcana spirit? I wonder."

Azzy intently stared at the blade for a while. Seeing his gaze on his Arcana, Raydon smirked, "Let me warn you in advance. My Arcana can pierce through the scales of a dragon and even slice a diamond."

"Yeah, it is sharp indeed," commented Azzy with an indifferent look as if he was mocking him on purpose.

Raydon gripped its handle tightly and unleashed a soul skill. He was shrouded by darkness as a result.

The spectators wondered why he did that in daylight as they could see his position clearly.  Ace was the only one with a darkened expression. He mumbled, "It's that skill again."

Meanwhile, Azzy was also observing Raydon who turned into some kind of shadow. Since he promised to not use his soul energy, he didn't unseal his soul orb in order to activate his 'Eyes of God' soul skill. 

Azzy stayed still and let Raydon approach him and attack him in that shadow form.

Upon reaching his target, Raydon didn't use any tricks. Instead, he stabbed right at Azzy's chest. Azzy wanted to see its piercing capability. He wants to see if that dagger could hurt his tier-8 divine physique. 

However, when the dagger shrouded in darkness made contact with the middle of his chest, he didn't feel a thing on the spot. Instead, he felt something sharp prick him from behind.

Azzy sensed there was nothing behind. He turned his head to see if his senses were disrupted or something. 

But then, the same sensation felt on the front of his left thigh as Raydon just paused in his action while his shadow dagger was at the same spot as it touched his chest. 

Furrowing his brows, Azzy raised his hand and swatted the shadow figure. It passed through Raydon.

"I must say your skin is quite tough for an Exalt realm expert. Are you really in a 7-star realm? You aren't a supreme realm expert?" questioned Raydon, feeling surprised but continuing to attack Azzy.

For the next few seconds, Azzy who was standing in the same spot felt numerous attacks on his body from different directions. He was feeling like someone pricking him with needles and this kind of sensation he last felt when he was a six-year-old.

It was uncomfortable but he doesn't want to move from the spot as he had an image to keep up in front of his students. 

"Okay, I see that your soul weapon is indeed sharp." Azzy gave a comment as he gathered natural energy from the surroundings and repelled it away without absorbing it into his body.

The shadowy figure blasted away and crashed onto the ground. Raydon slowly got up in a struggle.

"There are 260 seconds left. What's your next trick gonna be?" said Azzy, giving him a cold gaze.

Looking back at Azzy with a serious look, Raydon then poured all of his soul energy into the dagger, "Don't need so much time…"

He stab in the air and released his grip.

"Ugh." A groan escaped from Azzy almost at the same time. There's a dagger on his back with the blade completely piercing his tough skin. His knee almost touched the ground but he forced himself to stop at the nick of time.

And surprise filled his face at once. People underestimate him and he taught them a lesson but it was the first time he was on the receiving end.

Raydon looked at him with the same cold piercing gaze and said, "I believe in our first class session, you told us to never underestimate your opponent no matter how weak they appear."

At once, Azzy's ego hurt quite a lot. 

And his soul orb somehow automatically unsealed itself and his aura escaped from him. His eyes turned pitch black.

As the protos energy covered him, enormous pressure was released into the surroundings, the barrier was destroyed; the principal who stood up in shock was forced to kneel; the students crashed onto the floor before turning into a pool of blood, and the building starts shaking as if an earthquake occurred.

"Azrael!" A roar escaped from the Reaper.
