My Soul card is a Reaper

10 minutes later;

"Azzy, Avia, let's go," Oakley said to them as Pandora gestured him to follow.

Azzy nodded and walked towards the podium. On the way, Affea nudged him and asked, "What happened, Azzy? Why are you nervous?"

Even though there was no expression on his face, somehow, Affea sensed that Azzy was filled with nervousness. She also saw there's a lot of hesitation in his walk. There are slight pauses every once in a while.

Azzy shook his head, "Nothing, Aunt Affea. It's just overwhelming standing in the presence of Supreme Realm and Legendary realm Arcana Masters."

"It'll get easier if you just treat them as fellow guests," Avia commented without turning her head.

Azzy didn't respond to that and just walked. From the moment they met, it was always awkward between them and now, it appeared that the distance between them only increased further.

Congratulating them, Oakley passed a gift package to the couple. It was then passed to the groomsmen who put them aside.

Vesyrn then saw Azzy and smiled, "Azrael, you didn't meet my wife yet, haven't you? Let me introduce her. She's Izora Crescent."

As Vesyrn introduced Azzy to Izora who simply nodded, Azzy hesitated a bit before he summoned a storage card and said, "I didn't have time to pack it and all. I hope you like my present."

He took out a pair of glowing ruby crystal beads that are attached together by a string of natural energy.

"I crafted these beads with some help. These were made from a crystal flower I encountered by chance. They will control the blood flow and heartbeat, calming down the wearer to give him/her inner peace." Azzy handed the both of them to Vesyrn, to which his mother, who looked uninterested until now, opened her mother in surprise, "You made these?"

"It's my time attending one's wedding. So, I thought I should make something special." As Azzy nodded in response, Affea and Oakley also looked at him in surprise for they never expected Azzy would also prepare a gift.

After he came from the Arcana world trip, he took the Reaper's help in crafting them. Azzy used the corpse of Ruby Crystalline Lotus and natural energy, although most of the credit must go to the Buddhist sutra that acted as the medium.

"Thank you," Vesyrn proceeded to put on the crystal beads to check his effect. The moment he put over his arm, he felt a cool sensation in his body, followed by removing impure thoughts in his head.

Vesyrn was actually too excited that he finally married his crush and now, that they are wife and husband, he was constantly thinking about possible intimate moments between them. Those thoughts were suddenly removed by the crystal beads, surprising him. He doesn't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

In the end, he thanked him again and put them into his storage card.

After taking the photograph, Azzy and his family returned to their table. He knew that those photographs will not disappear even after he returned to the original timeline but then, it wouldn't matter as he will once again become the scion of the Death Clan and won't be vulnerable to external threats.

Just about five minutes later, the Sun Clan's Matriarch along with an elder went onto the podium to bless them. Azzy continued to watch. He was served a glass of mango juice.

He took the glass in his hands from the platter and just as he was about to drink it, he stood up on his feet while losing the grip.

The glass hit the carpet and the juice spilled out, forcing Avia to move away quickly.

"Watch where you are looking, Azrael." She said to him, feeling angered by his actions.

However, Azzy wasn't paying attention to her or his foster parents. His hand was shivering while looking at the podium.

There was a pitch-black aura that covered his mother. "The aura of death. She's in danger." He whispered to himself.

"Chronos, tell me what's going to happen." He shouted in his mind urgently.

"Now that you have come here, then, you should get ready." The Reaper gave a vague answer instead.

"What do you mean?" Just as Azzy asked him, all of a sudden, Vesyrn was pushed away with powerful force and Izora was trapped in a bubble.

"Qin Yaling." A powerful roar escaped by Qridus as he stood up. "What is the meaning of this?"

A shot of light beam escaped from him, forming a lightning net over Vesyrn and making him slowly land on the ground.

Every guest stood up from their seat. Commotion spread quickly among them.

The old woman from the Sun Clan looked at him calmly and said, "I don't believe that you are unaware of the time traveler, Qridus Garcia. She's the only way for us to locate that person."

"I didn't expect that Sun Clan would turn this foolish." A peal of laughter escaped from the Moon Clan's Matriarch. "Did you forget our presence or something?"

"No, she didn't." A voice filled with power escaped from nearby.

In an instant, a buffed middle-aged-looking fellow appeared beside the Sun Clan's Matriarch. He's the Dragon Clan's Patriarch, Marius Ravillon, a high-rank-9 Arcana Master.

"So, the Dragon Clan decides to go war against us?" Qridus asked them. He appeared very angry that he was barely controlling his rage because of the guests around.

"No, no, how could weaklings like us go against the mighty Death Clan?" Qin Yaling sneered at him and snapped her fingers. "We are here only as side support. Someone else is going to declare war against you. You will soon see them, be patient. Until then, you can try evacuating your people. We won't go anywhere."

Officials and several guests started using teleportation cards to get out of the place.

In no time, almost half of the guests disappeared from the spot. The members of the seven clans of the Death Clan stayed behind.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the outskirts of the city, more than a hundred experts gathered in a circle before creating a mystic seal that shot up to the sky while becoming bigger by each other. A giant portal was created in the sky, stunning everyone in the city.

Soon, a giant triangular spaceship exited from the portal, where dozens of experts armed with modern guns and a suit of titanium armor slowly exited it and landed on the ground.

The man standing in front of them, who was wearing a special armor made of nanofabric, revealed his face while turning towards the two Supreme realm experts, "Hold the Gaia's guardian until we finish our mission. I'll guard that woman."

He took a cube out of nowhere and threw it at the captured Izora who was using all her strength to break out. As soon as the cube hit her, she was absorbed into it, before the object teleported to his possession.

Everything happened in just a few minutes, turning the peaceful palace grounds into a war zone. Azzy felt dizzy by the sudden turn of events. Who are they? Why is this happening on such a beautiful day?

"Scarlet, take Estella and leave this place." The Moon Clan's ancestor ordered her descendant.

At the same time, Oakley told Affea the same. Affea asked him to come with them but he refused, saying that he can't abandon his clan.

Azzy was worried about his mother who was captured by the Sun Clan's Matriarch. But, without getting an opportunity to speak, he was grabbed by Affea along with Avia and was teleported several kilometers away from the palace.

"Azzy, Avia's safety is your priority." After handing the little girl to Azzy, she left towards the palace grounds, leaving behind the two of them in extreme confusion.
