My Soul card is a Reaper

"Please go easy on him, Azrael," Leah said to Azzy as Javion accepted his challenge.

Javion furrowed his brows when he listened to those words. He thought that Leah was underestimating him too much. After all, he is a peak-7-star realm expert and doesn't think there would be more than fifty Arcana Masters who were stronger than him.

Meanwhile, Azzy calmly walked a few meters away and gestured for Javion to come at him. It only riled him up further.

Javion summoned his Arcana along with a few skill cards, not intending to underestimate his opponent.

Azzy, on the other hand, calmly stood in his spot without bothering to summon anything. With a tier-8 divine physique, he was confident in taking everyone under the legendary realm without the need of his Arcana.

Javion dashed forward with the flaming sword and slashed at Azzy's chest without holding back.

Azzy raised his hand and caught the sword in a timely manner, letting out a smile, "not strong enough, Mr. Gilmore."

Javion furrowed his brows and he tried to get the sword free but couldn't do it so. So, he poured the soul energy into the sword, increasing the intensity of the flames.

As the flames got hotter and stronger, Azzy felt the heat in his palms. He poured his soul energy into his free right palm and shot an energy sphere at a close range.

Sensing the power of a low-rank-7, Javion panicked and tried to block with his arm. However, the energy sphere suddenly exploded before hitting him, blasting the both of them away with an enormous force.

Azzy was also affected but he landed only a few meters away compared to Javion, who blasted away like a dozen meters.

While neither of them suffered any injuries, Javion had lost the sword, which was now struggling in the hands of Azzy.

Azzy looked at the sword burning inside hot flames and poured his soul energy, this time, adding the protos energy.

As the protos energy enveloped the target, the flames on the flaming sword died out, and cracks appeared on it, showing the signs of death already.

"Requiem." Javion panicked for the first time. One, he sensed the presence of corruptive energy far more powerful than death energy, and two, he realized that his Arcana is about to die. He couldn't remember the incident of challenging Velez once.

Back then, it was the same.

As Azzy didn't kill it and threw the shivering toward its owner, Javion hurriedly caught it and used a healing card on his Arcana before asking the teenager "Is that death energy?"

Azzy was slightly surprised by his question but remembering Javion's identity, he nodded in confirmation, hiding the existence of the protos energy.

Leah was also under the same impression from their first meet. Hence, she used this opportunity to reveal Azzy's real identity.

She intervened in the match while speaking to her friend, "Jav, I forgot to mention something. His full name is Azrael Garcia."

"Garcia family?" Javion was taken aback a little bit, instantly forming the connection to Velez. "The royal family of Freyles? Are you Velez Garcia's son, perhaps?"

Azzy didn't feel offended by his question by linking with Velez. He calmly shook his head, "No, I'm not a member of the royal family and have no relations with Prince Velez."

Leah then reminded her friend, "Not the royal family. The other Garcia family…"

"Ah, the Death clan?" Javion let out a piercing scream in surprise before he closed up his mouth and apologized to the princess for startling her.

"I'm the son of Vesyrn Garcia and we are here to get the access to the treasure, which was given as a present to Emperor Arthur by our founder," said Azzy as he glanced at Leah to check her reaction. Seeing the look of surprise on her face and confusion on Javion, he realized that only the princess knew the truth.

Meanwhile, at the royal castle, Qridus was discussing the same with the King of Camelot, although the latter appeared reluctant to accept the request.

"Lord Qridus, I understand your circumstances but the cooldown period of the time chamber is usually 1 year when used for 7 days. For 14 days, it will be 3 years. If one stays even for a longer time, the cool-down period will increase accordingly.

And you are asking for 40 days. That's like 20 years of cooldown period. Please do think from my view." Lucas Pendragon politely rejected the Death clan's request even though a peak-stage Supreme realm expert visited the place in person.

However, the people in power and strength usually don't like to listen to the word, "No".

Not wanting to return empty-handed, Qridus put forth a proposition, "Don't be in a hurry, Lucas. First, here me out completely. Then, you can think about it.

Just because our founder presented yours the treasure doesn't mean that we have a right over it. I know that and I won't try to force you to give up something precious for free.

That's why I'm here with an offer. In exchange for the usage of the ancient chamber of time, we would like to present you with this."

As the old man raised his hand, a golden apple appeared out of thin air and fell on to his palm. He placed it on the table before him and said, "This object is one of my prized creations. Imbued with the power of my Arcana, the one who consumes this apple completely will be able to awaken artificial platinum-grade Arcana, a clone of my Saint Freya.

However, there are limitations too. The consumer cannot have an Arcana spirit of platinum grade or higher.

And if the consumer with low potential eats this apple, then, there's a 50/50 chance that one can awaken a second arcana or their attribute completely changes to light.

As for the unawakened persons or an Arcana Master who had weak physiques, there's a high chance that they will be permanently disabled or in the worst case, die. Hence, I would recommend a guy with a strong physique and enough power to exert 1-ton of force either through kicks or fists (1000 kg).

However, the end decision will still depend on you though.

So, what do you think, Lucas? Still interested?"

Along with the King of Camelot, even Vesyrn Garcia was also shocked to hear the details of the golden apple.

He couldn't help but look at his great-great-grandfather in admiration and told him that he doesn't need to sacrifice such a treasure for a mere 400 days of training.

Revealing his legendary realm cultivation, Vesyrn assured his ancestor that six weeks will be more than enough.

Lucas, who was enticed by the golden apple, became alert at once as he saw Qridus silent at once to ponder on it and he hurriedly gave his permission.

Back to the white mountains, Javion was watching a spar with fast-paced attacks from either side and he is trying his best to follow the movements of Azzy and Leah.

The princess wanted to test her test against Azzy to check whether she surpassed him during the past 27 years or not.
