My Soul card is a Reaper

"Erir!" Alan screamed in worry as he took out the healing card. He never expected that his platinum grade Minotaur which is practically an entire realm above everyone on the field was now looking like it was being bullied by Azzy and his pet wolf.

The others also got worried but they never stepped away from their positions, waiting for the orders of their captain.

As Alan couldn\'t mess up their formation, he gave an order, "Erir, come to me. Ignore the wolf."

Alan knew that asking it to fight against the wolf in such a state will only waste the time. So, he asked it to come towards him instead. He planned to heal it and then, take care of the wolf at the same time.

From behind, forcing itself to ignore the blood flowing down from its ears, the Minotaur started to move forward. Since it was big, it only needs a few steps to return.

But, Vajra didn\'t sit on its shoulder to give it such a chance. Once again, it unleashed a blast of black lightning energy towards the damaged ear after Azzy replenished his soul energy to the full with a recovery card.

Just as it moved forward by one step, the ball of energy hit at its injury spot with enormous power and forced it to crash on the mud field without being able to put up any resistance.

"Damn it." Alana gritted his teeth. Just when he thought of abandoning his position in the formation, Claire who got kicked away earlier once again flapped her wings and charged towards the opponent team captain, reaching him.

"You again…" Alan clenched his fist while ducking her attack and punched at her abdomen with his force. "Scram…"

However, to his surprise, his punch passed through her, which turned out to be an after-image where the real one sidestepped at that fraction of a second.

In the meantime, Azzy and the other three stopped as Snivy spoke, "they are in the range."

Azzy nodded as he glanced at Claire who was busy attacking the Captain.

Looking at dual blade wielder and Dragon summoner who were around 30 meters away from the spot, Snivy slammed her big hammer onto the mud field, unleashing her soul skill.

<strong>"Soul skill: Iron smash"</strong>

All of a sudden, the mud field started to shake for a bit. Suddenly, a giant iron fist erupted right below the dual blade wielder.

"kyaa…" Hazel didn\'t expect Snivy\'s range of attack is far higher than their reports. The underestimation cost them heavy now.

Like a cannonball, Hazel flew towards the sky without being able to control her path and crashed onto the ceiling barrier.

"Hazel!" "Hazel" "Hazy"

Her teammates went into a shock for a moment because of two consecutive attacks one after the other, one harmed their second strongest asset and the other just destroyed their formation.

While Hazel was flying towards the ceiling, Claire raised her sword and gave an order, "now."

Dismissing his energy hand, Azzy suddenly turned into a blurry figure and left the group. He instantly passed Alan who was focusing on Claire\'s sudden speed attack.

At the same time, Gideon charged towards the empty spot of the former pentagon formation and kept his eyes on the girl who crashed on the ceiling and was falling down.

Mia and Snivy dashed towards the dragon and its summoner. Their speed appeared to be at least ten times faster than before. It didn\'t take them long to reach their targets.

"What the hell…" Alan was taken aback by the situation at first but then, seeing two of the swords that were stuck in the mud from the corner of his eyes, his facial expression suddenly changed.

A sudden grin appeared on his face as he shouted as he took out a skill card, "Everyone, it\'s time."

He poured soul energy into it while taking Claire\'s attack, head-on.

All of a sudden, the two scimitars on the ground were replaced by Hazel whose head was bleeding because of the earlier crash.

She took out an activated skill card and poured soul energy without caring about her Arcana right now.

Followed by Hazel, the remaining three who were ready with the activated skill cards in their hands from the start poured soul energy, making them glow at the same time and create an instant red pentagonal prism. A mystical seal appeared on each side of it and started blinking.

Azzy who almost reached Dove found a barrier that appeared before him. He halted his movements and looked around. The Minotaur was dismissed and Vajra found itself at the edge of the barrier. Because of its earlier attempt to attack its face, it was barely safe from being captured.

"Another barrier?" Claire frowned and jumped away to the back to create some distance. The others also stopped moving and looked at it.

Your team surprised me with a sudden ambush and an abrupt increase in speed. But, you are too naïve." Alan said to her. "With this, Azrael is finished. All that\'s left is you, Captain Lefeuvre."

Claire refuted his statement, "This kind of barrier wasn\'t new to us. Phoenix Academy also used this before to isolate Rael but it wasn\'t enough to defeat him. He will easily come out."

*Hisss*

Just then, a powerful resounded inside the barrier as the Hydra crawled inside to the pentagonal prism.

"Who said anything about isolation, Captain Lefeuvre?" A smirk appeared on Alan as he raised his index finger. "He has but one minute to get free from the barrier. The Hydra was summoned specifically for this purpose. I know that it might not be powerful enough to kill him but certainly powerful to keep him busy in there. Once the countdown ends, those seals will act."

Claire felt something bad is going to happen as she once again remembered Mia\'s father\'s warning. Gripping the sword handle tightly, she replied, "I will not let you…"

<strong>"Soul skill: Descent of the Heavenly Guardian."  </strong>

<strong>"Skill card: Holy Ground, Activate."</strong>

Her sword disappears from her hand while she started to emit a tremendous amount of holy aura. At the same time, her entire 30-meter surroundings turned into a golden mud field.

Alan knew that regeneration ability is very troublesome. Since he still has five minutes to resummon its Minotaur, Alan could now only depend on skill cards.

Unlike Claire, the rest of the three didn\'t know what\'s going on and they too thought that it was just a barrier that was created to isolate him. Having trust in their comrade, they didn\'t think much of it and proceeded to face their targets.

As for Vajra that was separated from its master, it looked at Azzy through the translucent barrier and then, glared at its enemies.

*Grrr*

Letting out a low growl, it started to run towards Dove, leaving behind a streak of sparks.

Meanwhile, Azzy found himself facing the Hydra, which was linked to Webster who was standing outside of the barrier.

At the same time, he felt strange about the blinking seals.

Following their agreement of not lending a hand at any moment unless Azzy\'s life fell in danger, the Reaper continued to stay silent as the match started. He didn\'t give any warnings or suggestions.

As the peak-rank-6 Hydra extended one of its five heads towards Azzy and attacked him, the latter once again conjured a three-meter dark energy palm around his one hand and took out a skill card in another.

<strong>"Skill card: Laughing Skull of darkness, activate."</strong>

*He he hehe*

A purple laughing skull appeared in his hand with its sound resounded all over the prism.

He threw it towards the snakehead.

The red-colored head of fire attribute opened its mouth. As a higher realm beast from the Arcana world, not only it has high instincts, it also mastered the soul energy from the moment it was born.

So, the moment it saw the skull, feeling threatened by it, instead of dodging or taking it head-on, Hydra breathe out flames to destroy it.

"That would have worked if it was me from 3 days ago but now…" Moving away from its range, Azzy motioned his hand upwards.

The laughing skull suddenly changed its path and moved up, dodging the flames.
