My Soul card is a Reaper

That is the reason you are in the state of getting erased but I recommend you just stay here. Now that your future self is already here, there\'s nothing to worry about. He will do everything to save you too."

"So, you want me to stay and put hopes on my future self? What if he doesn\'t? I remember him saying that he was meeting me for the 23rd time. If such a case happens, this timeline going to be erased along with my memories, isn\'t it?" Azzy hit back at the Reaper. He already made the decision as soon as he heard the truth.

The only thing he needed is the cooperation of Reaper. It\'s because this deity can simply take over his body at any time and Azzy couldn\'t do anything unless the deity of time and death will allow him to repossess it.

This is why he first decided to get a word from the Reaper and then, he will set out while reversing the time, a bit.

The Reaper read his thoughts and warned, "What you are about to do will risk everything you had done until now. Your identity will be exposed and the threats will be increased at an alarming level. Do you still want to proceed?

Instead of giving an answer, Azzy stated with a confident tone, "You are a divine being, existed for billions of years. I\'m sure you have a solution to eradicate this risk."

At first, Azzy wanted to stubbornly say \'Yes\' but when he saw the Reaper only warned him of the consequences instead of telling him that it is extremely dangerous for his life, he understood that the Reaper isn\'t completely against it. So, he tried to take his help, instead.

"Not bad, Azrael. You are growing up." The Reaper was satisfied with Azzy\'s reply. Thinking in a tense situation is what makes one stop being a reckless fool.

He said, "There are advanced seals where one can erase their presence, create a giant illusion to confuse the senses of others, or even change their appearance but it needs me to possess your body. And that\'s riskier when surrounded by a Supreme expert of a hidden clan.

Instead of eradicating the risk, you can minimize it. We\'ll use the same tactic as before. This time, you will expose your relation to the death clan to cover up being a time traveler. It\'s been six millennia since the death of Aelius Crescent. No one would be able to refute that the Crescent clan and Garcia family share a few descendants.

Naturally, Qridus will suspect you as a time traveler too. To make sure the others won\'t suspect it, you can use one of your natural energy techniques here. But, I should warn you though. No matter what happens, you can\'t use the hourglass on a global scale. Even I can\'t rescue you if that happens."

"I can\'t use the hourglass?" Azzy frowned inwardly, clearly being displeased by his suggestion. After all, his strategy is entirely dependent on the hourglass.

But then, he realized that the Reaper wasn\'t entirely against using the hourglass either. He shouldn\'t use a soul skill that affects the whole world, that\'s all like reversing the time.

After thanking him, he finally returned to reality and saw Affea who had a panicked expression on her face.

"Azzy, Azzy… answer me, dammit. What\'s going on?" As she was rushing towards him, Azzy responded as he put aside the bowl of salad, "I need to leave."

"Where? What is happening to you?" She asked.

Azzy hurriedly thought of an excuse, "It\'s because of a third Arcana spirit, breaking the balance. I need to be alone for a moment. Excuse me."

Pouring his soul energy into the body, Azzy started to run at his maximum speed in the direction of the city they had just come from. In no time, he disappeared from everyone\'s sight.

Affea wanted to follow from behind but Scarlet stopped her, saying that everyone has a fair amount of secrets that they won\'t be willing to share with anyone.

As Oakley came in support of her, Affea stayed behind and looked in the direction her foster son just left.

On the way, Azzy didn\'t forget to empower his speed by absorbing natural energy.

As a result, he was now running even faster than the speed of sound, almost as fast as a peak-rank-7 expert.

Little he knows, there were two beings floating in the sky without being spotted or sensed by anyone. It was as if they didn\'t even exist.

One of them is a familiar character, the 116-year-old future Azrael who still looks like he is around 20.

The other one doesn\'t even look human. It looked more like a humanoid beast with pointy ears, a dragon wing, an angel wing, demon horns, red eyes with no visible pupils, pale-faced, dragon tail, etc…

Looking at his younger self, the future Azrael spoke in rather a polite tone, "Master, I can no longer interfere in this situation. I\'ll leave him in your hands."

The mysterious being nodded and replied in human speech, "You are asking me too many favors these days, Azzy. Anyway, since this won\'t anger the mother goddess, I will help you out. But, unlike you, Chronos is someone I cannot dare to offend. So, I need to be careful."

As the mysterious being raised his hand, all of a sudden, a portal opened right in front of Azzy who was rushing, taking him by surprise.

Before he knows what\'s going on, he already exited from another portal, only to see himself standing in an empty park, which is located a few kilometers away from the palace.

"What was that?" Azzy was taken aback by the sudden teleportation.

"Must be the work of your future self, secretly helping you. I told you, didn\'t I? He won\'t let you die." The Reaper calmly answered him before reminding him to look at the front. Well, he wasn\'t far from the right. His future self did help the younger Azzy but the teleportation wasn\'t his act.

Before Azzy\'s eyes, there was an intense battle going on between a heavy bleeding Izora and Captain Virgil while his father appeared to be unconscious, lying on the back of a giant blue dragon.

A while ago, in the midst of a battle between Neo and the legendary realm experts of the Death Clan, the captain was able to free himself from the traps and escape from there.

Filled with rage, Izora summoned her lightning dragon and went after him. Vesyrn followed her, worrying about her safety.

The two of them worked together in bringing down this captain but in the process, Vesyrn himself was deeply injured and was knocked out.
