My Soul card is a Reaper

Meanwhile, at the Affea mansion, back in the city of Azzy was sitting alone in the hall.

As soon as he returned from the Arcana world, Azzy directly went to meet the Principal.

He enquired about his family's whereabouts.

But, the Principal only disappointed him.

Having no other choice, he returned to the mansion.

"Azrael, don't waste your time on something that you can nothing about. You should prepare for the upcoming tournament. You should become stronger to save your parents and return to your timeline." As the Reaper reminded of his original objective, Azzy decided to focus on completing the Decarune seal.

He sat on the floor in a meditative pose and closed his eyes.

He remembered the ten runes that were shown by the Reaper. Back then, he didn't care much about their appearances, so, he didn't notice anything strange.

But, during the past week, upon his master's advice, every day, Azzy read the newspapers of city edition, province edition, and country edition.

Since Oakley is widely known as the Divine Physician of the Aclein city, if something happens to him, the principal said that it will be sure shown up at these newspapers.

While searching for the news about him, Azzy learned many new things about the outside world. Maybe, this is his master's aim.

Whatever his motive is, it helped Azzy in developing a little bit of general knowledge and current affairs.

Along with it, he also touched upon astrology, a study of the movements and relative positions of the planets and stars that influence their lives in certain ways.

Then, Azzy saw the mystical 12 Zodiac signs with a mixture of different creatures.

At first, he found something strange about them. He felt they were connected to runes. As he dwelled on the subject further, Azzy found ten of them are kinda similar to them.

The only strange is that the last two of the zodiac signs are unrelated to the runes. It made him wonder whether there's a 12-rune seal too.

After all, he heard from the Reaper about the formation of a galaxy at rank-10 and a universe at rank-11, he wondered whether the last two of them are related to those supreme ranks.

Back to the present, Azzy concentrated on the first rune. The soul energy sipped away from the soul orb and entered his mindscape where the Reaper and the black wolf reside.

Maybe, it's due to getting familiar with his Arcana or maybe, it because of the recent breakthrough.

For whatever reason, Azzy felt easier to create a rune with his soul energy.

As soon as it formed, Azzy saw a ring appeared around the soul orb. At the same time, a ring appeared on the first planet in his soul.

Meanwhile, a small ring of a chain appeared on the Reaper's left hand.

"Good..." The Reaper's voice rang in his head. He appeared delighted with the success. "Now, the second one..."

The second seal took longer than the first one. It took more than ten minutes to form the rune and seal away 100 soul power.

The third one took half an hour and a third ring appeared on the soul orb, on the third planet, along with the third chain on the Reaper's left hand while sealing away 1000 soul power.

Everything was smooth for the past hour. Just when he thought he will complete six seals, in no time, Azzy felt resistance for the first time.

It was like a week ago when he first attempted to form the first seal.

He continued to try. After an hour, he finally formed the fourth seal.

"Okay, now, the fifth seal..."

Azzy proceeded with the next one. This time, he felt the resistance increased tremendously.

For some reason, he felt the soul energy was disobeying his will and is strongly resisting.

He asked the Reaper whether he needed to stop there. However, the Reaper said otherwise and further explained.

"It's kinda similar to the immunity system of humans. The instinct of the soul energy was making it fight against the intruder that dares to seal it up. As you perform the higher seals, it will only get more difficult.

Six hours later;

The house became dark with no lights on while Azzy was continuing to sit in the hall in a meditative pose.

His stomach continued to rumble. However, he didn't open his eyes.

Soon, the darkness fades away and the sunlight passes through the door, illuminating the hall.

Azzy suddenly opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face. "Sixth seal, successful. Eh?" he was suddenly taken aback and touched his lips.

If it was anyone familiar like Gideon or the future Avia, they would be shocked to see that not only Azzy appeared like a mortal with no soul energy, but he also had an expression on his face.

For someone who wasn't able to express his feelings, Azzy was also puzzled by the changes too. The Reaper clarified to him that it was due to his soul energy and the Arcana spirit that made him like that in the first place.

With him, sealing their power, it's obvious that he would be a normal human.

At first, he felt delighted upon hearing the news. However, the Reaper's next sentence made him disappointed.

"So, either I can be like a normal human with no Arcana and soul power or an emotionless Arcana master?" He asked the Reaper in confirmation.

"Yes... You cannot be both at the same time." The Reaper confirmed his thoughts and further said, "But, it's a good thing that you can interchange with both of your personalities at any time. It's within your hands, who you wanted to be."

Azzy stood on his feet. He didn't reply anything to the Reaper.

He simply closed his eyes and unlocked all the seals, thereby, becoming a blanked expression person, and opened his mouth, "Showing the emotions will only make others annoy me. It is better if I don't have them..."

His tone appeared plain as before.
