My Soul card is a Reaper

"You bastard, free my wife." Vesyrn roared at the captain of the spaceship who had captured Izora into some cube-looking thing.

"Sorry but that's not possible. You see, your woman is useful to my allies. And I was also fascinated to see that person who managed to travel in time. Perhaps, if we use him/her in our research, we would be able to invent the time ship." The young man in his late twenties replied with a grin.

After a brief silence, he further added while playfully tossing up the cube, "If you are strong, then, you are free to battle like a man and defeat me and save her instead of whining."

Vesryn doesn't care what happens to the time traveler. For him, Izora's safety is most important.

"Come out, Arya." A golden-colored ginseng root was summoned from his soul card, earning a burst of laughter from his opponent.

"Pfft…" The captain of the ship laughed uncontrollably while pointing at him, "I heard that current natives of this world summon something extraordinary called Arcana and you are supposed to be the next head of the strongest force in this world? It's hilarious."

Vesyrn answered while pouring soul energy into his palms, creating a golden-colored sword, "Arcana's attribute or shape isn't everything. The real power lies within one's soul."

He dashed forward. In a fraction of a second Vesryn reached his opponent and slashed at him.

The young man just raised his arm and caught the golden sword with his exosuit arm. He continued to hold the cube in another hand, "You can't defeat me. My hand is enough to defeat a primitive human like you."

"I don't know where you come from but never underestimate an Arcana Master who surpassed rank-7." Vesyrn made his next move. The golden sword suddenly turned into a sphere and exploded, releasing a million joules of energy.

The sudden explosion of energy caught Vesyrn's opponent by surprise and was blasted away more than fifty meters and the cube slipped away from his hands.

Seeing the opportunity, Vesyrn didn't waste any time in catching it and hurriedly put it in the storage card.

"Damn it." The spaceship's captain punched the ground in anger and looked at Vesyrn.

He raised his hand towards Vesyrn. His connection with the nano prison hadn't severed but he felt that it was trapped in a place that can't be retrieved.

"I guess I underestimated you. Fine then, I'll take you seriously." He spoke before closing his eyes for a second. "Neo, activate the weapon system."

In the next second, large cannon materialized in his hands.  A glow appeared below his feet and he started to float in the air.

Pointing the cannon at Vesyrn, he said, "even if I ask you politely, I know that you won't hand over the prisoner in peace. So, all I have to do is to kill you before those two old men return. Before you die, remember my name, Virgil. It's the man who will have your head."

Vesyrn replied calmly, "Today, you'll learn how fearsome the light element is."

<strong>"Arya, unleash the soul skill: Limit Break."</strong>

As the golden ginseng glowed brightly, Vesyrn was covered by a blinding flash of light before it diminished.

Virgil didn't find anything amiss but the Arcana masters nearby who are fighting against the enemies in titanium armor were stunned for a second.

The natural energy was absorbed into his body at a terrific speed, increasing his soul power by 10 times, temporarily forcing him into step into the Legendary Realm. Currently, he was a high-rank-8, although he will only be in this state only for the next five minutes.

But, Vesyrn felt that it was enough.

He summoned the golden energy sword one again. This time, Virgil finally understood the difference.

"That small sword can release over 100 million joules of energy?" Virgil furrowed his brows when his Artificial intelligence informed him.

He didn't hesitate to pull the trigger of the plasma cannon. It took entire 10 seconds to get charged. Since Vesyrn doesn't have knowledge of the enemy, he decided to spend a couple of minutes understanding the enemy before counterattacking during the following three minutes.

An orb of plasma was shot from the cannon, aimed at Vesyrn. When it left the Cannon, it was only at the size of the average adult's head but then, as it traveled towards the target, it grew in size, almost 2 meters.

Vesyrn never sensed such strange energy before. It wasn't soul energy or even nuclear energy. It was something else. The power behind it is also unknown to him. However, he could see a core inside the orb. This core was generating blue and purple-colored electricity in all directions.

He assumed it was probably lightning attribute. Either way, it doesn't matter as he planned to block it anyway as he doesn't want to risk a huge explosion where his clan members get caught up in it.

So, Vesyrn decided to take a risk. He changed the shape of the golden sword into that of shapeless energy. Vesyrn poured more soul energy into it, transforming it into a huge arm.

Because of its slower speed, the plasma orb took an entire four seconds to cover a mere 60 meters of distance.

While Virgil was charging the weapon to shoot at him for the second time, Vesyrn went into battle stance and motioned his arm forward.

The slow-moving giant plasma orb was caught by the energy arm.

"Hmm?" Vesyrn sensed that the plasma orb is trying to absorb the energy and move forward.

He clenched his fist. The orb was crushed by the giant hand. 300 million joules of energy were released by the orb but Vesyrn managed to contain it within the grip of his giant golden arm.

Virgil's face behind his mask turned ugly. "I underestimated him." It wasn't just him.

Vesyrn's facial expression also changed. "It consumed almost forty percent of my soul power even in limit break state. I underestimated him."

A few more seconds later, the Plasma Cannon was charged once again and Virgil clicked the trigger once again.

This time, Vesyrn was more prepared. He leaped towards the incoming plasma orb. Before it reaches the size of a kid, he punched it with the giant energy arm, assuming that its power increases as time passes.

And just like he expected, the power was half of what he faced earlier.  The plasma orb was destroyed easily and Vesyrn flew towards Virgil who was waiting at the same spot.

Just as he almost reached him, all of a sudden, two cannons emerged from the suit around his shoulders. They firmly stood on the shoulders and shoot a concentrated beam of plasma energy.

Vesyrn's eyes widened and he tried to dodge but the speed of the plasma energy beams was too high. Both of the beams hit right his abdomen and chest respectively, blasting him away for at least 100 meters.

Vesyrn crashed onto the ground with two holes in his body.

Virgil flew towards him and stopped a few meters above. He then aimed the plasma cannon at Vesyrn who looked like he lost consciousness.

"I thought you were tough to beat but didn't expect your defenses are like paper," Virgil sneered as he pulled the trigger.

He shot another plasma orb. To his surprise, a mid-sized crater was made, leaving behind nothing.

"Hmm? Where is the cube?" Virgil furrowed his brows.

It was then, an alert came from the A.I. "Danger, an attack. The position cannot be tracked."

"Eh?" A look of surprise appeared on his face as he looked around instinctively. Something pierced his suit, went past its defenses, and pierced its chest.

"Ugh…" As he groaned in pain, Vesyrn materialized before him, brimming with golden energy, "I told you before, didn't I? The light element is a lot more fearsome than it appears. As long as there is sunlight, I can bend those particles to my will. Creating an illusion is a piece of cake."

Vesyrn was indeed hit by the plasma beams but with the help of ginseng, he recovered right away and left behind an illusion to confuse the opponent for a few moments while he recover his soul power through the recovery cards.

Vesyrn's statement surprised Virgil as he didn't expect his suit couldn't detect an illusion.

As the suit proceeded to self-repair, he dismissed the plasma cannon and summoned two lightweight guns.

Meanwhile, somewhere far away in the mountains, Qridus Garcia and Elyssa Moon are trapped inside a barrier with Qin Yaling and Marius Ravillon barely holding onto it together.
