My Soul card is a Reaper

"Hahaha, how is that?" In her wolf form, Loren laughed crazily while observing Azzy and Claire. It looked she was very much pleased with their reactions.

Azzy stood there in silence like a statue.

The mass explosion of dozens of people was truly etched in Azzy's mind. He never thought in his dreams that he would see mass murder so close. Azzy forgot to move.

Taking this incident as an opportunity, the Reaper lectured him, "This is what you get for showing restraint, Azrael. Do you still think a person like her, who tortures people for pleasure, who kills people like Lincoln for talking back to her, who kills dozens of innocents just so to inflict mental damage on you, deserves to live?

If you arrest her and even kept her in the maximum-security prison for all her life there, though not happily, but still get to live with food and clothing.

Is this the kind of justice you want to get for the victims? Do you think their spirits will be satisfied with it?

Answer me, Azrael. What is the sufficient punishment for a psychopath like her?"

The Reaper wanted Azzy to act on his own, not influenced by Protos Energy. That's why he made sure to completely suppress it.

As the ancients say, 'The meaning behind the words changes based on who said what at which situation', Azzy was influenced by the Reaper's words. There was only one thing on his mind.

Meanwhile, on the outside, Loren continued to provoke them while passing the instructions telepathically to the pinned werewolves on the floor.

"Now what will you say it your superiors? That you failed to save the lives of 76 hos… Hmm?"

Before her words ended, a death scythe appeared in Azzy's right hand. His gaze was cold as he raised his left arm towards her, <strong>"Soul skill: Soul Absorption."</strong>

All of a sudden, the soul energy inside of her flew out of her body and was absorbed into his, followed by the damage of her soul orb.

In just one instant, the situation and her expression turned around 180 degrees as she fell onto her knees. Surprisingly, not only did she manage to keep her wolf transformation but was even conscious.

"You…" She roared on top of her lungs as she grabbed her chest.

Azzy dashed towards her and slashed her neck with the death scythe, separating the head and body.

"Rael…" Claire widened her eyes in shock. A moment ago, she didn't directly witness the deaths of the hostages as her back was facing them. So, the effect was a bit less on her when compared to Azzy.

But, then, now, as she saw Azzy killed someone, she was stunned on the spot once again. She even forgot about all the blood on her.

The head of Loren rolled on the floor and the body collapsed on the ground.

With a streak of blood on his face that was spilled while he sliced Loren's head, Azzy slowly shifted his gaze towards the three werewolves that are struggling to get free.

<strong>"Hydra, use soul skill: Fire Breath"</strong>

<strong>"Vajra, use soul skill: Extreme Bite"</strong>

<strong>"Aurora, use soul skill: Absolute Freezing"</strong>

The three beasts are linked to Azzy's soul and they could sense his feelings and intentions naturally.

Vajra bite the werewolf named Trixie's neck and crushed it, giving her a quick death.

Aurora froze the werewolf named Chase and froze it under -250 degree centigrade temperature. Being a werewolf, he has a certain degree of resistance but eventually, he will face a slow death without any escape as the power behind the attack is at peak-rank-6. Under such low temperatures, even the soul energy will stop functioning after a while.

As for Hydra which is trying its best to crush a peak-rank-5 werewolf underneath it after Claire backed away because of shock, one of its skeleton heads spew out fiery flames and gave quite a painful death to Stuart before the latter escape its grip.

Without taking any more, Azzy dismissed his death scythe and the three beasts and slowly walked outside.

Claire took a glance at the place around for once and hurriedly followed after him. "Rael, wait."

She grabbed his arm when he refused to respond.

Azzy stopped in his tracks for a second and said, "Claire, leave me alone for a while. I need to sort out my thoughts."

She left his arm in understanding and quietly followed him in silence. She had a worried look on her face.

After a while, Azzy and Claire met Evan and Neal. The former looked at the both of them in fear while the latter furrowed his brows as he asked whether they had killed the culprits.

Azzy didn't answer and just went past him.

"Azrael…" Neal called him out but there was no response. He couldn't help but look at Claire for an explanation.

Claire explained everything from the start.

"Dozens of them?" Neal clenched his fist in anger. "Death was a lighter punishment for someone like her, Cadet Claire."

In the end, he let out a sigh and went for inspection to double-check whether there are any more survivors in some other facility. Claire, on the other hand, went after Azzy.

Walking through the path, Azzy asked the Reaper, "Just where did it go wrong? Chronos, if I had unleashed soul absorption in time, would I be able to save them?"

In response to his question, the Reaper dragged his spirit back to mindscape.

Azzy found himself standing before the Reaper but for some reason, he couldn't meet his eyes. Was he guilty of allowing so many deaths? Or was he guilty of breaking his no-kill policy?

He doesn't know. At this moment, his mind was too cloudy. He wanted the Reaper to shed some light.

The Reaper replied in a stern tone, "You are too naïve, Azrael. Why did you even think that the enemy plays a fair game? You have spotted the Auras of Death on them and yet, instead of focusing on securing the hostages, you gave priority to Claire's feelings.

You thought of improving her self-esteem by letting her help you instead of the other way and missed a simple fact that your girlfriend had already revealed your background. Anyone with a brain can easily realize how important will be hostages.

This is your first mistake, Azrael.

You saw how Loren controlled the rest of the five subordinates. With your Aura sensing, you should have already seen how identical their soul energies are. The woman had implanted her own soul energy into everyone. You failed to see it.

This is your second mistake, Azrael.

Your opponent is a killer and torturer, and yet, you never had the intention to battle seriously with her. As you haven't stabilized the realm, you are so worried about losing control and killing her that you didn't even fight with everything you have got.

Of course, as a werewolf, while she doesn't have any Arcana, you should have gauged her strength when she expelled the Protos Energy, which is next to impossible for people in the same realm as yours unless they have Celestial grade Arcana.

This is your third mistake, Azrael.

The 76 victims were destined to die even if you had never interfered but their deaths are on your head and you now had the opportunity to rectify your mistakes while giving them justice."

Azzy stared at him, widening his eyes, "do you want me to turn back the time?"

"Yes." The Reaper firmly nodded, "And you will have to kill them before they harm the hostages. This is the real justice."
