My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 632: Jupiter vs Azzy (part-2)

Soon, Leah and her Arcana spirit, Izarok, now became Queen Izarok with the addition of Neptune's trident and an oddly-looking black tiara on her head, landed beside Azzy. The latter had to dismiss the transformation of Ruby, turning back into its usual crystalline black lotus so that her vision may restored and she could find him.

Jupiter didn't take any action during this time and waited in patience, for some reason.

For a few seconds, he glanced around. "Hmm, it looks like Mars' inheritor didn't intend to come. Anyway…"

Meanwhile, Azzy took this opportunity to use the SP recovery card and replenish his soul energy to get ready for the second round.

"Leah, you…" Azzy turned serious.

Leah interrupted him while tightly gripping the handle of Excalibur, "I know it is too dangerous, but I can help you out. So, no question of leaving you alone here and running away."

Azzy's facial expression suddenly changed, replaced with a bit of awkwardness. "Uhh…" He couldn't help but look away as he said, "Actually, I want to say that I really need your help at the moment."

"Eh?" Leah's eyes widened in surprise. "Seriously?" She leaned her head forward.

Feeling her face closer to his face, Azzy slightly stepped aside and nodded, "We need to merge our Arcana spirits."

Leah gave another glance at Jupiter who was standing straight and silently staring at them. As their gazes met, she didn't feel any animosity against her supposed enemy. If anything else, she felt like he was a friendly character.

However, she knew that it was the result of Neptune and Pluto's essence and would merge with her.

She averted her gaze and proceeded to grab Azzy's hand. Jupiter folded his hands to his chest, watching them calmly.

Soon, Queen Izarok merged with Azzy's Black Lotus to become 'Izaru.' The water body turned black and shiny, the Arcana spirit grew hair like lotus leaves, and lastly, her trident looked like it was made of a black diamond.

"Oh, the fusion of Arcana spirits, belonging to different people and temporarily creating a new Arcana spirit with both of their abilities. Interesting technique," Jupiter gave a nod of acknowledgment, for it is something that is unheard of, back in his time. He couldn't help but praise mankind's evolution in his heart.

Of course, it didn't change the fact that the very technique he praised in his heart was threatening. Jupiter could feel enormous strength inside of this new Arcana spirit named Queen Izaru.

He didn't take them lightly at all, after his earlier exchange of moves with Azzy.

Hence, he summoned another weapon in his free hand; this one was also shaped like a lightning bolt but was made of white flames.

They were emitting so much heat that even Azzy and Leah jumped back to atleast a hundred meters in reflex. Their bodies moved first before they finally took a good look at those white-hot flames.

"What was that flame?" Leah asked with her heart rate spiking up all of a sudden, followed by sweating.

Azzy furrowed his brows and answered through telepathy as his eyes fixed upon Jupiter's new weapon, "He had the Jewel of Fire. Unlike me, he mastered it to a far greater extent. So, I'm not even sure what he could do, at the moment." As Leah turned her head to look at their enemy, Azzy added, "We have to go all out and we also need to make sure our Izaru won't die.

You once told me that she was born out of the Jewel of Water and implanted into you, by your father. So, she can perfectly counter those flames."

"Hmm… there is actually another way though," Leah didn't comment on his words and instead pointed her finger to the sky, or more precisely, at the Jinn that was floating above.

"What do you mean?" Azzy asked. He wondered what she was trying to plan.

Leah replied, "Jinn's hidden skill, the wish-granting."

Azzy was momentarily shocked but then firmly rejected the proposal. He reasoned with her that their Jinn didn't have the capability to turn them into demigods and neither it had the power to negate the effects of a cosmic jewel.

Leah cleared their misunderstanding by explaining her plan, "No, I don't mean that. If we take its assistance to temporarily fuse together to form a single entity, just like our Arcana spirits, I believe our chances will be far higher than now.

You have the raw power and multiple Arcana spirits while I have the mastery of various sealing techniques, the knowledge of energy techniques, and also the essence of two Deities. Together combined, we could take him on.

The only problem is that this will completely reveal our secrets to each other. It won't be like mind synchronization that only links our thoughts and feelings. If you trust me enough to take such a risk, we can do this. If not, we can proceed with our initial strategy. What do you think?"

Azzy couldn't give any response for a while. After all, there were indeed secrets that he had kept to himself.

Hence, he consulted with the Reaper right away.

The Reaper, however, gave his permission but under the condition that he wouldn't be able to use the hourglass, the Death scythe, or the rest of the soul skills related to Death.

It means that Vajra, which was tied to the Reaper also couldn't help in this fight. This also means that the Protos energy is out.

With so many things becoming restricted to use in the battle, will this still help Azzy to win against this formidable enemy?

As Azzy fell into a dilemma, the Reaper further added that he could possess him to take care of the enemy, instead. Here, the Reaper guaranteed the success. With the white sands of time in his hand, no mortal, regardless of their strength, could escape from defeat.

But, Azzy wasn't in favor of that idea. After all, he intends to go to the world of Angels sooner or later. So, he had to prepare himself to fight against strong opponents.

After sorting out his thoughts, he dismissed the Hourglass and gave an order to the Jinn through their own telepathic connection.

Jinn, who only stayed as a spectator following his master's orders, received the instruction, and he snapped his fingers right away.

The hidden soul skill of Jinn was unleashed and Azzy asked for the wish, exactly what Leah wanted.

Jupiter momentarily lost his patience as he saw his opponents were wasting too much time.

Just when he was about to make his move, he saw a blinding flash of light envelop Azzy and Leah, leaving Queen Izaru alone, standing in front of Jupiter while not being affected by the intense heat radiated by the flaming bolt.

The result was quite surprising.

Leah disappeared and Azzy's body reverted to its normal state. However, there was a sword in his hand. It was the Excalibur.

"What in the Chaos' name is this now?" Jupiter's mouth was widely opened in shock for a moment.

"The name is Azrle," A dual voice, male and then followed by the female voice's echo, came out of this new Azrle (Az-er-uhl). "Shall we start round 2?" As the sword brandished like a whip, Pluto's dark essence naturally flowed through the blade of Excalibur and then enveloped Azrle's skin like a layer of energy.
