My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 672: Azzy at the forbidden region (part-3)

On the way to Knull Island, Azzy stayed completely silent. Izora and Vesyrn couldn't help but become worried about their son, who was scolded instead of getting praised by their clan head. Ever since he was lectured by Qridus, Azzy hadn't spoken a word.

He was carrying Affea on his back and was nodding as she was talking nonstop.

In reality, his soul was in a separate mind space, which the Reaper didn't have access to. He was sitting before the remnant spirit of the clan founder, who was probably the one who understood him the best; well, atleast, in Azzy's eyes.

Azrael Orkney Garcia was completely supportive of Azzy's actions and never felt that it was arrogance at all, cuz when it comes to the safety of beloved ones, none can expect to think logically.

The clan founder's remnant spirit is currently working with Azzy, trying to summon Azzy's other personality, Tellus, to this mind space.

Not only the natural energy reserves in his Sage core was emptied, but his body was also absorbing an enormous amount of natural energy from the sea, using it as a medium to complete the task.

By the time they crossed the sea and reached the shores of Knull Island, Tellus' spirit finally materialized in the mind space and he sat with them.

Azzy came face to face with Tellus' spirit for the first time, cuz in the mindscape, he is usually in the form of an earth jewel and doesn't talk at all. However, he didn't feel like he was meeting a different person.

Tellus' spirit just looked the Azzy and the clan founder. It just looked like three identical spirits, apart from the fact that Tellus doesn't have any pupils. They glowed in white without any visible pupils.

Obviously, Tellus' personality was also quite different.

In Tellus' view, happiness or sadness, arrogance or humbleness, righteousness or evil, all are just the same. Only the existence of life and death is all Tellus cared about.

While Azzy was working on how to work together with Tellus, the group of four, escorted by the undead beast kings, reached the central region of the forest, where a woman was seen in the presence of a 15-foot-tall humanoid monster with its body partially composed of black and shiny rock, with cracks and crevices emoting a faint and eerie flow of violent light.

The skeletal monsters were shivering in its presence and they refused to attack it or even give any sort of warning as ordered by their master.

At the same time, they couldn't move away from the spot, blocking Azzy's family from moving forward.

Their telepathic screams echoed in Azzy's head, forcing him to return to the reality and dismiss them, giving the way for everyone to meet the woman.

As soon as his eyes laid on the woman, a rare smile appeared on his face, and he walked forward, going past Qridus who landed on the ground and kneeled in the presence of his master.

"Wait… Azra…"

Qridus tried to stop him but his master, with her eyes widened in surprise, got up in a hurry and called out, "Father?"

"Huh?" The others looked at Azzy in surprise too and then at the woman.

Azzy stopped in his tracks and spoke, "Ancestor, I'm not the founder."

"Ancestor? Founder?" Izora and Vesyrn once again looked at the woman, in a bit of surprise.

"Ah!" The woman realized her mistake and she corrected her tone and posture, "I'm sorry, kid. You look too much like my father. No wonder Qridus said that he is confident that you are my father's reincarnation. However, I didn't expect you to know that I'm your ancestor too. I'm confident that Qridus won't tell you my identity." She gave a glare to the kneeling old man, "Or did you?"

As Qridus shook his head, Azzy gave off a vague reply, "I'm the disciple of Saint Ravens, Ancestor."

"Eh?" "Huh?" "You have a master, Chuckee?"

Surprises came to Azzy's family members like waves in the sea at night. Every minute or two, they keep getting surprised. Vesyrn couldn't help but just let out a sigh and mumble, "At this stage, nothing will surprise me about Azzy. But, it seems there is a lot about him that I didn't get to know." Izora heard it and subtly nodded, muttering in a whisper, "Yeah, me too."

Qridus got up and commented, "It is truth, Master. Saint Ravens personally wished for Azrael to become his disciple. I'm sorry for failing to mention it before."

"I see." Devorah nodded calmly; or rather forced herself to calm down, "Anyway, let me formally introduce myself. I'm Devorah Garcia, the eldest child of Azrael Orkney Garcia. You don't have to call me ancestor though, as you aren't exactly my descendant and neither am I a citizen of Death clan. Just call me Miss Devorah or if you want to be formal, you can address me as Miss Garcia."

Azzy then put down his sister on the ground and bowed to the woman with his hand on the left part of his chest as a formal clan greeting, "Let me introduce myself, Saint Garcia. I'm Azrael Crescent Garcia and these are my parents and she is my little sister."

"Hello, Ancestor. I'm Vesyrn." "I'm Izora Crescent" "Umm… beautiful grandma, my name is Affea. People call me Affy though."

"Shh…" Vesyrn attempted to grab his daughter's arm, feeling that it was disrespectful to address an elder in that way. However, Devorah didn't mind it and simply let out a smile, "Oh, little one, your potential is endless, just like your brother. I think it is fate for us to meet like this. Say, what do you think about her?" She pointed at the humanoid monster that didn't move from the spot.

It was only then did everyone's attention shifted to it.

"Is that your Arcana spirit?" asked Affea, observing the monster with big oval-shaped eyes, constantly blinking in curiosity.

The humanoid monster scoffed in response, "This little brat as my host? That could never be possible. I'm Knull, the lord of this region."

"Knull?" Even Qridus was taken aback and involuntarily stepped away a little, upon realizing that it wasn't actually his master's Arcana spirit. He met it a few times but never questioned it because he thought it was foolish to ask. After all, the monster and his master are connected by their soul. As it always stays silent, he never expressed his curiosity either.

Little Affea is different though. She is still small, unaware of the outside world's danger, and a spoiled child who just speaks without filtering her thoughts.

Like Qridus, Azzy too thought that the rocky humanoid-shaped monster was her Arcana spirit, for its aura was too calm. There wasn't even a drop of killing intent emitted from the monster.

As he heard that it was the lord of the region and the strongest being in the Forest of Death, he immediately stepped forward and shielded his sister, immediately summoning Vajra and Lux to keep it in check, "So, you are Knull, huh? Nice to meet you. Let me introduce my partners, This is Vajra and She is Lux." He introduced the radiant sword in his hand and the floating black lightning orb.

As Knull shivered for a second and got up, Qridus furrowed his brows in displeasure one more time, "Azrael, what are you doing? Stand down." But this time, his aura exploded from his body and his gaze was threatening as if he meant to discipline his descendant at all costs.
