My Soul card is a Reaper



*Thud*

Ronan fell to the ground and lay there motionlessly. Soon, he passed away due to internal damage. The 8-star realm expert died just like that.

As if the students and fellow teachers weren't enough shocked by Azzy's performance, they were even shocked to witness Aaron effortlessly knocking out almost all the remaining enemies.

Just only one person left and the 8-star-realm expert was wracking his brains on how to get out of this situation. Kael realized that Aaron has betrayed them and he doesn't have the confidence to win against Azzy either.

In the end, Kael resorted to taking a student as a hostage.

Quickly grabbing a nearby girl, Kael flew into the sky with a blade nearby her neck. 

"If you value this girl's life, let me leave." The 14-year-old girl started crying for help but no one appears to be responding.

Everyone was just silently staring at the man who was shouting nonsense. It wasn't until Azzy asked him 'What girl?' Kael realized that he was pulled into an illusion placed by Aaron.

"Dammit." Kael gritted his teeth in anger as he looked down at a smirking Aaron. He freed the illusionary figure and raised his hand above his head. He shot a beam of concentrated soul energy from his palm. 

The energy beam struck the ceiling of the barrier in about a couple of seconds and disappeared.

Seeing the shocked Kael, Azzy spoke, "There's no way out of here."

Kael's face reddened in anger as he roared, "Fine, if I don't leave here alive, then, I will take everyone with me too."

Soul energy enveloped him and he flew toward the bunch of teenagers. 

But, before he made it halfway, Azzy first cut off his path with greater speed, followed by giving an uppercut to his chin, and finally, sealing his soul orb with a Decarune seal.

As the guy crashed onto the ground, Azzy found the aura of death on him. Hence, he decided to interrogate him right away. All he needs is a word confession that he was sent by Arc Company and he could officially start investigations against it.

However, Aaron didn't let him do that. 

His Arcana, Venomquito; this mosquito is too small and fast for anyone to notice it in one glance.

As Azzy was slowly descending to the ground, the mosquito went through the nose of Kael and unleashed its soul skill, the Necrotic Poison.

Within a few moments, the vulnerable Kael's cells and tissues were damaged, leading to cell death and tissue decay at a rapid rate. 

Followed by that, Kael died due to organ failure.

Everything happened within seconds.

Azzy landed on the ground and crouched to inspect Kael's body as he knew that this guy wouldn't die just because of his punch.

"Quick, Azrael. You don't have much time. Read his memories," said the Reaper. As the brain of the body also contained memories, as long as he acted fast, he would be able to find some useful information from Kael.

Azzy placed his hand on the head of the corpse and muttered, "Soul skill: Soul Search."

Since he hadn't fully mastered the skill and doesn't want to read more than a thousand years' worth of memories either, the Reaper helped Azzy in obtaining the information he needed.

It appeared that Kael and Ronan are members of the disbanded Assad organization. Aaron's father, the leader of the Assad organization is said to possess an ancient relic called the Orb of Souls, which is used to absorb the souls from the dead before they go to the spirit realm.

The Assad organization's true goal is to revive someone named Chaos Lord and to do this, they need to sacrifice more than ten million souls in an ancient ritual. Arc Company is in cahoots with the dark organization for several centuries and helped them to achieve the goal.

During the leadership of Aaron's father, Orion, they have managed to collect the required amount of souls, and performing the ritual is the only thing left. Elizabeth Bathory volunteered to host the soul of the chaos lord.

But, somehow, just two days before the date of the ritual, Orion fell into a trap laid by WAMO and ended up in the maximum security prison. There was a heavy restriction in this place that will make anyone below the demigod realm feel useless.

Aaron wants to save his father's life and Arc Company wants the orb of souls.

Since they planned this attack on the outskirts of the Central City, Aaron suspected that there might be an intervention from random passersby. Not to mention, Azzy's strength isn't tested either.

To make sure that their abduction plan becomes 100% successful, Elizabeth Bathory stepped in.

However, their plans became an utter failure because of Azzy's overnight upgrade of strength, followed by Aaron's betrayal.

And the last piece of memory that Kael has is how he felt his soul orb was sealed and his soul energy vanished, followed by the effect of some strong poison.

Azzy inwardly frowned and glanced at Aaron from the corner of his eye, "It's him, isn't he?"

The Reaper answered, "Looks like that way. I can sense poison attribute from him. Just like his sister."

"I didn't expect Aaron would turn against his comrades," said Azzy to the Reaper. He added, "I thought if I go toe to toe against their boss, he would probably try to join others. But, instead, he killed them to bury his secret."

The Reaper replied in the form of criticism, "Then, you shouldn't overpower Bathory like that."

"In that case, it's partly your fault too," Azzy argued back. He further reminded the Reaper about how he is the one who told him to not hold back against a supreme being.

The Reaper defended himself with a counterargument, "I never told you to dive under the water to amplify the strength of the lightning jewel and then finish off the enemy with the Spear of Death. You couldn't just stop yourself from showing off."

Azzy didn't argue with that as he knew that he kinda forgot his plan and went ahead with the killing.

As a result, it spooked Aaron instead and he changed his plan.

"There's still one week left till my mission completion. I can investigate him and the company later on but for now, I need to keep acting as the teacher. Confronting him using force might endanger the students.

That blindfolded fellow was different from this bunch. With his mosquito Arcana and illusion abilities, he can kill students in a matter of seconds just like how he did it to his comrades. There are so many students here and I can't take such a risk. Not to mention, I have no idea what else he planned in case he gets caught"

Azzy decided to forsake his plan of finishing the mission right away as Aaron made it more complex by showcasing his Arcana abilities. When he has nothing to lose, Azzy can do anything he wants but right now, he felt like it isn't worth it.

Azzy decided to deal with him after collecting proper evidence against him. Remembering a fellow who decisively escaped from the barrier, Azzy planned to catch him somehow and gets a confession out of him.

Meanwhile, Aaron was speaking to everyone as if nothing happened earlier, "All of you must have been shocked by this event, but no fret! The crisis has been averted, as long as your teachers are around, your safety is guaranteed. Anyways, let's get going." Aaron started storing the bodies in his storage card one after another with the excuse of handing over them to the WAMO for investigation. Azzy allowed him to do as he wished.

Usually, the students would have been filled with fear had they witnessed a proper fight. But, since it is pretty much a one-sided fight, and that too, didn't last a minute, no one's mind is affected that much. Even the 8th-grade students are fine as they boarded their respective horse wagons.

In fact, the battle is over before they just came to their senses to understand their situation.

Hence, no one is scarred by this event but they sure had gotten nervous, wondering whether they could live up to their awesome teachers.

Of course, there are some who were looking forward to showcasing their skills too.

One of them is Raydon, whose eyes were gleaming in admiration. 

He doesn't know what happened but he could see the enemy's boss being punched down by his teacher. His thoughts were simple, "If I train under him, my future will be limitless. And I will be free from that Geller family. But, to do that, I need to show him that I can use attribute energy. In this upcoming tournament, I should unleash all of my trump cards if I have to."
