My Soul card is a Reaper

"Thousands of years ago, when the demons and magical beasts ran amok all over the world, thousands of elite warriors formed a troop to defeat the demon king and his troops.

After the war was over, most of them dispersed but few stayed to form the Zuhu tribe.

The Zuhu tribe prospered and several civil wars occurred over the period of eight hundred years before they finally separated into three tribes.

Osiriket inherited the land. Ankhseti inherited the gold and all the treasures. Serkheti inherited the guardian.

Louis belonged to the Serkheti tribe, but he didn't grow up in his homeland for some reason. He was under the care of the City lord. We went to the same elementary school but he left afterward.

I heard that his family picked him up and I didn't see him until 17 years ago. As soon as we reunited, he proposed to form a team and we worked together in exterminating beast hordes for atleast a decade, but went on separate paths due to our own situations.

So, that is the basic story of us, Mr. Garcia…"

Lord Ra briefed his history with Louis, realizing that it was indeed that brought them together.

It doesn't matter to him whether his friend and their friend are the same. They were the ones who wanted to come along with him and he was more than happy to journey with them, or specifically, her.

Furthermore, Leah and Elias didn't have any friendship with Louis, and the one who had a friendship with him only knew him for barely a year.

So, he didn't ask Azzy how he and Louis knew each other and placed more focus on answering Leah's questions about the world background.

Seventeen hours later, by the next day morning, they reached the mountainous village of Serkheti, lying on top of the snow-clapped Mt. Ku, the tallest mountain on the planet with over 13km peak height from the sea level.

The village was located at 8200 meters altitude and it was below -50 degrees Celsius. Chilly winds are blowing up at around 70-80 kmph. Yet, the villagers seemed actively roaming in the streets in their casual wear.

The flying boat easily made it to the village buried in snow and fog. Upon landing on a flat surface, they were quickly surrounded by a bunch of experts in robes and masks.

As they got down from the boat, Elias stuck to Azzy, who bested even Leah, the one who killed that powerful monster a while ago. Meanwhile, Lord Ra took out some sort of medallion from his dimension ring and spoke out loud, "I'm Ra of Astralon City. Take me to your leader."

One of the masked men immediately drew out a sword, taking Ra and others by surprise, "Sorry, but Lord Clain is away. In his absence, no outsider is welcomed here. Return at once."

Lord Ra composed himself and replied, "Then, inform whoever is in charge of the clan. We will wait here. This is very important."

"No, our leader's orders are absolute," The leader of the masked men firmly refused the request. Pouring his soul energy into the sword, he further threatened them, "Leave or be prepared for the consequences."

"This…" Lord Ra was greatly embarrassed, feeling the gazes of his new friends from behind. But then again, he knew how stubborn the tribe members of Serkheti were. Having no choice but to adhere to their demands, he threw the medallion to the captain. As the latter caught the medallion by reflex, Lord Ra requested, "Then, please do me a favor. After Louis returned to the clan, give him the medallion.

You can do that much, right?"

The expert looked at the medallion and then at the stranger, giving him a nod.

Lord Ra turned around to speak to his guests, "I apologize. Let's go to Astralon. When he returns, he will surely visit my home."

"Well…" Leah meaningfully gazed at Azzy, as if she was asking what to do. After all, he was the one who was on a mission to drag Louis and they already knew that their target was away.

But, what is on Azzy's mind? She doesn't know.

However, knowing her friend for years, she was confident that he wouldn't submit to threats, especially if they were done by strangers.

At the same time, she was also aware that her friend was also a good person with principles.

Hence, she can only wait for his reaction.

Surprisingly, she saw Azzy's facial expression hardened.

Azzy gave her and every one his answer by stretching his hand above his head. Two soul cards were summoned in his hand, followed by a black wolf jumping out of one card and landing on the ground. The other soul card merely hovered around its master's head, waiting for the order.

Everyone, including Ra, was startled by Azzy's actions. All the masked men took it as offense and drew out their weapons.

The black lightning wolf released its aura, paralyzing the masked men in fear. They were so terrified that they couldn't move from the spot.

"Mr. Garcia, wha… what… are… you… doing?" Lord Ra's voice was also shaking in fear but he was faring better than the others.

Summoning the black lotus from the other soul card and jumping on top of it, Azzy replied coldly, "If even these guys don't take us seriously, do you think someone like Louis will even care? Before convincing him, we need to strongly convince those top echelons residing in the village that they cannot afford to make enemies with their guests unnecessarily.

Just stand aside and let me take care of the problem." His cold gaze fell on Ra, making it seem like it penetrated his soul and his body involuntarily shuddered as a result.

"This…" Ra saw an illusion of a Reaper standing behind Azzy. "It looks like he won't hesitate to kill me if I stand in his path. What kind of monster I invited…" He started sweating.

As for Leah, she seemed even more surprised, "I knew that he won't back down against threats but didn't expect him to be so resolute. Man, he looks so cool when he is in action," She thought in her head, casting a sidelong glance at him from the side.

On the other hand, Elias moved away from Azzy and hid behind the beauty, feeling scared of Azzy.

The entire village lost peace in an instant; the villagers were screaming and running away.

"Attack," shouted the group's leader. Three of them gathered their courage to attack the wolf while the remaining charged toward Azzy.

"Ruby, unleash the soul skill: Diamond Prison"

Multiple concentrated energy spheres were shot from the petals of the black lotus in different directions. They were so fast that the opponents couldn't even dodge them and when struck, they were trapped by something like a crystalline barrier on all sides.

Once he stopped the opponents, Azzy didn't proceed forward. Instead, he just stood there in patience. As for the wolf, its aura was also expanding more, reaching a wide range and covering the entire village. Both of them waited patiently in the same spot.

Soon, Azzy and his party are welcomed by a bunch of elders, flying toward him with weapons in their hands. They seemed quite prepared to take down their enemy.

As they landed before Azzy, an elder was slightly taken aback as he noticed Lord Ra nearby. "Ra! Are you declaring war on our tribe?" he shouted at Ra before shifting his attention to the wolf and then at Azzy, "A 9-Tier expert with twin Arcana spirits? This is going to be troublesome." The others, meanwhile, paid attention to the unconscious bodies, spread around.

They were quite relieved to see that no one was dead.

Azzy responded with a cold chuckle, "It is called a war if two forces fight. This isn't war, mister. This is a conquest. My conquest. Now, bring out your guardian. It is the only one that can put a stop to this."

The prime elder was taken aback while the other furrowed their brows. Some looked confused and gazed at each other.

"Guardian?" Lord Ra exclaimed, drawing attention from the others for a moment. "But, it has long been dead."

Azzy let out a chuckle once again and said, "The moment we step on this land, I have already sensed its presence. Why else do you think I let my Vajra release its aura?"

Shifting his gaze to the elders, he continued by taking out a skill card from his pocket, "Well, you don't want to bring it yet? Fine. Let's see how long it will hide."

Pouring his soul energy into the skill card, he unleashed the spell, "Skill card: Meteor Shower, activate."

Ten large meteors formed above in the sky. Azzy controlled their movements with a telepathic connection and moved them apart, spreading widely. Everyone's attention was in the sky and they seemed ready to defend their village.

"Azrael…" This time, Leah felt worried instead of getting impressed by the skill. "There are innocents in the village. What's going on with you, all of a sudden?"

It was at this moment a wave of energy came out of nowhere and reduced it to nothing. Not even a fragment of stone was left. Following the scene, a voice filled the surroundings, "Stand down. I'll take care of this."

Azzy narrowed his eyes and activated his Aura sensing to the limit. "Ruby, up. Vajra, protect my friends," he ordered his Arcana spirits as a portal appeared in the sky.

As the black lotus slowly rose in the air, a large pure-white lion with feathery white wings flew out of it.

The prime elder immediately fell onto his knees, "Saint Leon." The remaining followed suit and greeted the lion.

Azzy stared at it for a few seconds and surprisingly became disappointed. He let out a deep sigh, "Here I thought I would battle a demigod and planned on going all out. It is just a pseudo demigod…"

The winged lion replied in a mighty tone, "And I thought you were a genuine divine being who needed my intervention. Looking at you now, I can see that you are just a pretender. But then again, there is no way a divine being would be able to command such corrupted Arcana spirits. Nevertheless, for your audacity, I shall send you to the spirit realm."

"We will see about that." A great sense of competitiveness rose within Azzy. Without any hesitation, he summoned the plasma scythe from his storage card.

Inside his mindscape, the Reaper shook his head, "the seed that protos energy placed in his mind finally sprouted. From here on, I should be careful, or else, he will be lost in darkness…"
