My Soul card is a Reaper

Far away from the city of Graena, Estella and others continued to camp.

"Dear, you stay with Avia. I'll return with Azzy." Affea said to him after waiting for about an hour.

"The battle is already over, Affea," Scarlet responded to her, instead, trying to calm her down. "Azrael will be fine. My daughter says that he's the most peerless genius of all the people she had met. With the help of two platinum grade spirits, he would solve it with ease."

"If that's the case, then, why is it taking so long for him to return?" Affea shook her head. She refused to stay there and wait any longer. "What if he was ambushed by my eldest brother or King Ragron, on the way? He isn't even returning my messages."

"Auntie, I think it's best to contact Ramiel Crescent." Estella voiced her opinion, bringing a trace of a surprise to Affea's face. She wondered whether this girl knew about Azzy's relation to the Crescent clan.

It was then Estella added, "Ramiel Crescent is the vice president of WAMO, and Rael, I mean Azrael is a member of the organization. With his talent, he must be looked after, well too. If you ask him, he can utilize his authority to perform a search using their satellite. With a facial recognition system, it would be easy to find him."

"That's a viable solution." Oakley agreed with her. He grabbed Affea's shoulders, "Azzy is also a precious member of the world's biggest organization. Whether it is Ragron or your brother, neither of them can afford to offend WAMO and hurt Azzy. He must have been meditating somewhere and probably wasn't paying attention. Let's do as Estella says."

She asked Scarlet to contact the Crescent Clan as the Moon clan is close with them.

About twenty minutes later, Scarlet received a message. She immediately furrowed her brows as she informed, "they found Azrael."

"What happened?" Affea's heart skipped a beat when she saw the change in Scarlet's facial expression.

"They found Azrael chasing an unidentified person." She replied. After a brief silence, she pointed her finger towards 2 o'clock, "The location was about 162 kilometers in this direction and they were getting far away."

"Thanks, Scarlet. I owe you for this." Affea dashed towards the direction at her peak speed.

Meanwhile, somewhere in a wilderness, Captain Virgil was running at his fastest while he was being chased by Azzy through the ground. The latter's foot was powered up by the layer of soul energy and natural energy.

"Dammit, this guy doesn't seem like he was going to stop any time soon. I need to lose him." Captain Virgil cursed himself for his bad luck.

Not only does he have to meet his nemesis but the flying function in his suit had to be damaged because of a lucky hit from one of the Protos spears.

From a distance, he spotted a large number of buildings. It was a city.

"I should blend in with the people and escape him before I can try establishing the connection with Neo and send SOS. I need to leave this planet as quick as possible." A thought appeared in his head. He let out a grin and continued to dash forward while shooting plasma bullets towards behind without looking.

Azzy welcomed the bullets made of plasma energy and absorbed the energy to increase his SP (soul power) by a little more than a hundred every time.

When he came to Graena city to watch the wedding of his parents, Azzy's SP was roughly around 680K but now, it had already reached 720K, just a little more than 30k from reaching the advanced stage.

"He's getting away. I should run faster." Azzy was getting a bit agitated as time passed and he couldn't narrow the gap. No matter how much he tried, there's always 200-300 meters of distance between them.

Thankfully, he already had activated the 'Eyes of God' soul skill. So, whether it is snowing from above; whether he is moving on an uneven surface; whether they passed through a mini forest, at the very least, nothing would hinder him in chasing after the enemy.

While Azzy had a no-kill policy, he still doesn't want to let this invader from outer space go away after injuring his biological parents to the brink of death and almost erasing his presence from this timeline.

After recovering his soul energy once again, he summoned another set of Protos Spears, which are actually weakened versions, containing the power of only rank-3. All he wanted was to make sure that the distance gets reduced. Even those fractions of seconds that will be wasted by Captain Virgil would help.

Since their attack pattern is quite straightforward, Captain Virgil, an experienced space explorer didn't have any difficulty in aiming at them with his plasma gun. He doesn't even need to look behind to nullify those attacks.

"Chronos, little help here." Azzy was out of options when the attacks failed for the umpteenth time. He did everything he could but to no avail of success. Of course, he couldn't give his all.

If not for the fact that he was worried about the enemy getting away in that momentary gap of time, Azzy would have used soul skills. In the end, he depended on the Reaper.

The Reaper was looking into the immediate future at the moment. Because of various possibilities, he was weighing his options on whether to help Azzy or let the enemy get away.

After thinking for a brief amount of time, the Reaper made a decision, "Letting you get stronger is important. Okay, Azrael, I will take over you for a moment."

"Alright," As soon as Azzy agreed to it, his consciousness drifted away and the Reaper took over Azzy's body.

Unlike Azzy, the Reaper had complete mastery over the skills, seals, and weapons. He doesn't need to waste even a millisecond in unleashing them.

The Reaper glanced at the sky, "Apollo, I guess I might have to use your power a bit."

All of a sudden, a tremendous amount of solar energy was gathered in the pitch-black eyes of Azzy.

Captain Virgil's heart skipped a beat when he sensed the power behind him.

The power of soul energy is a bit unfamiliar to him but things like solar energy or plasma energy or others are completely known. In fact, he could usually repair his suit using the solar energy but for some reason, he wasn't able to.

"I guess I have no other choice." Captain Virgil pressed on the diamond-shaped object on the chest part of the suit.

"Argh…"

Some needles erupted from within the suit towards his skin and pierced his skin all over the body before injecting some strange liquid into his blood.

Captain Virgil screamed in pain and halted his movements.

But, in the next instant, a strange phenomenon occurred. Captain Virgil's body started emitting plasma energy as the suit turned red hot. He no longer moved and stared at his hands.

However, the Reaper was unconcerned. He continued to absorb the solar energy while slowing down the pace.

"Okay, I only have 100 seconds at most. After that, the safety mechanism in the suit will kick in." Heavily panting Captain Virgil then stared at Azzy who stopped about a hundred meters away from him.
