My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 673: Qridus finally lost it

Devorah is the founder's only living daughter and is considered the oldest surviving Arcana Master on the planet; filled with vast knowledge and wisdom gathered over one hundred thousand years, every little action of hers had a deep meaning. Suspecting or questioning her actions is akin to a grave sin.

Or atleast, that's what Qridus believed so far.

Hence, even after learning that the humanoid monster he was familiar with for a while was actually none other than Knull herself, Qridus didn't question her.

Seeing his successor summoning his Arcana spirits in a way that indicates a battle, Qridus got incredibly angry.

He didn't hesitate to use his demigod aura to pressure Azzy while ensuring others weren't affected, "Stand down, Azrael."

Little did he expect Azzy to stand without feeling an ounce of pressure on his soul. Instead, he would stare back at his ancestor, whom he was also unhappy with. "Ancestor, is there something wrong with you? I was merely introducing my Arcana Spirits?" He furrowed his brows in displeasure.

Qridus' frown deepened, "I can sense killing intent in your Arcana spirit. You planned to attack Lord Knull." The others were taken aback by Qridus' accusations.

"Vajra has Anti-divine energy. His killing intent is displayed against every kind of monster. Meanwhile, Lux hates Vajra as it bonded to my soul against its will. Its killing intent is naturally aimed at Vajra," explained Azzy. "Uhh…" Qridus became embarrassed, not being able to react properly, while Azzy continued to stare at him as if he were expecting an apology. Read exclusive content at m v l em pyr

Seeing her disciple's situation, Devorah stepped in, gaining attention with a clap before easing up the atmosphere with a change of topic, "Anyway, listen to me until the end. So, Knull here is at the end of her lifespan, just about a few hundred years away, and she decides to prolong her life by becoming an Arcana spirit without going through the spirit realm before that time.

Considering the fact that little Affea here can manipulate gravity, which will complement Knull's void element, I was wondering if she would be willing to become her host."

"Eh?" "Huh? Devorah, what are you saying?"

Even the monster was caught off guard by her comment, "I still have a lot of life span left. Do you want to kill me off that early or what?"

"The girl was born without any limiter, Knull, and she will go through awakening in a few years. Do you want to lose this opportunity?" Devorah argued with the monster.

The monster abruptly turned its head to look at the little girl curiously, watching it with her oval eyes, "Hmm… hey, kiddo, do you want to accept my power?"

The parents, weak enough to even state their opinions, were silent. Azzy was busy consulting the clan founder about his further actions.

Affea looked at the monster for a couple of seconds in silence before placing her finger on her chin, "But, I don't know if you are strong, though. Are you as strong as my brother?" She questioned.

"Your brother?" Knull shifted his attention to Azzy and his two Arcana spirits, "Hmpf, this insolent brat cannot even be compared to my power. I can defeat him with my one finger." It raised its pinky finger made of stone.

Suddenly, a streak of black lightning, as thin as a thread, cut through the air and struck its pinky finger without any warning.

Knull's pinky finger had a hole in the center, making it let out a painful groan, "Ugh…"

"Azrael…" Qridus' face reddened in frustration.

Azzy let out a smirk of little victory as he grabbed his sister's arm, "Don't underestimate humans, monster. And I know my sister's potential too well. Someone like you who failed to enter the divine grade shouldn't hold themselves very high." He didn't hold back his words at all, even going as far as provoking it on purpose.

Originally, he didn't like the monster looking down on him or Devorah. Not to mention the fact that his great-great-grandpa kept on criticizing him. After consulting with the founder's remnant spirit, he decided to use it as a target to show off his overwhelming strength.

As if Qridus wants to prove him right, before Knull even reacts to his provocation, the clan head directly attacks him instead. "How long… how long I should bear your insolence?" Qridus' hand was shivering as he raised his hand.

As a giant golden hand of light, towering over everyone with its enormous size, appeared in the sky, Qridus slowly floated in the sky and looked down at him, "Since you are too proud of your strength to the point of disrespecting your elders, I'll have to discipline you."

"Lux"

Azzy responded by stretching his arm to the side and catching the floating divine sword.

He shouted, "Fine, Ancestor. I also had enough of you to keep questioning my actions over and over again. Instead of siding with me, you keep trying to discipline me. Let's settle this with a battle."

Vajra responded to his feelings. Sparks of lightning thicked over the black lightning orb, ready to attack its enemy.

Vesyrn finally opened his mouth, stepping forward and shielding his son, "Great Grandpa, please calm down. Azzy, what the hell are you doing? Stand down."

"Dad, please move aside. Let us settle this matter once and for all. Or else, even in the future, after I become the clan head, Ancestor will keep on interfering in the clan affairs, trying to force his opinion on mine."

Azzy slowly flew into the sky and floated a few meters away from Qridus, who was further enraged by his descendant's response, which he felt was filled with arrogance.

"Go, Chuckee…"

As the adults worried about the outcome, Little Affea was cheering out loud, supporting her brother.

"Umm… Saint Garcia, can you please stop them?" Izora came forward this time, requesting Devorah, who didn't interfere this time and merely stared at them in silence alongside Knull.

Devorah shook her head, "It is best this way. Qridus will also learn something in this battle. But, don't worry. If things go out of hand, we'll step in."

"I should, too? That brat ambushed me…" The humanoid rocky monster complained instead.

Devorah gave a stern glare to it, and the monster nodded immediately, "Fine, I will help."
