My Soul card is a Reaper
Chapter 235 Claire Is An Angel?

Day 7, Leah was training alone on the top of a hill. There were a lot of thoughts going on in her mind at the moment and a look of frustration can be seen on her face. To cool off her mind, she was sparring imaginary herself going all out.

Each punch of hers was exerting so much pressure that the space itself is bending on from time to time. However, it only happens for a microsecond before the space returned to normal. So, it was as if nothing is happening around her, and Leah herself couldn't feel it.

After throwing away all of her unnecessary thoughts, Leah made a decision. "You are right, Excalibur. The future of Camelot is more important than my pride but taking help from someone of an Angel race is an insult to my ancestor."

"So, what do you intend to do?" The sword spirit asked her.

Excalibur had realized the true identity of Claire's Arcana and her race long ago. But, it kept the matter a secret so that Leah doesn't walk in the path of revenge.

It has to do more with her ancestor, Arthur Pendragon, who was betrayed and then, killed by an Angel in the war against Demons. The reason? It's very simple. Under the request of Celestial Empire's Emperor Zeus, The King of Angels Michael had made a secret deal with his brother Lucifer, the King of Fallen Angels, and Hades, the ruler of the underworld.

The Demons left Gaia and returned to the underworld. In return, Michael had Arthur assassinate by his own ally and also forced the other nine generals to stay hidden and quietly watch over humanity.

Basically, this incident has collapsed the great Empire of Camelot and so, Leah, who worships her ancestors to the bone, hates the Angel race to the death. Thankfully, the Angels have returned to their Kingdom in Heaven and severed all the contacts with the humans too.

Little did it expect that Claire will return to Leah's life in the form of a great obstacle to Leah's and Azzy's union…

Now that Claire is brought into the equation, the sword spirit's plans are changed. It now wanted its host to be an ally with this Angel race princess that hosts the sword of Archangel Michael himself.

Naturally, Leah would refuse its request. But, the princess of Camelot also knew that she needs Azzy's help in reviving the Empire. So, in her current state, it was clear that her needs will outweigh her comfort.

Leah also knew that she can have either both of them as allies or none of them. What should she do? When she thought about it deeply, she questioned herself that whether it is worth clashing with Claire who doesn't have any personal enmity with her, whether she was that weak that she had to take help from an Angel to fulfill her ambitions and upset the spirit of her ancestor.

After thinking for a long time, she told her decision to the ancient sword spirit. "I will not have anything to do with Claire. Azrael told me she'll also train with him and fight with the Draco Galarian, my father allowed her to be the formal guest of Camelot, my teacher asked me to spar with her. Fine, I'll accept their terms but she'll forever be nothing more than a stranger, nothing more than that."

Upon making the decision, Leah calmly sat in a lotus position and closed her eyes to meditate.

A couple of hours later, the dawn arrived on Camelot and Leah was still meditating inside the training field.

*Tap* Tap* Tap* Tap*

Her ears perked up upon hearing the steady footsteps of some people. She opened her eyes to replace Syllia, her uncle who seemed to be smitten with Syllia, and surprisingly her aunt for the first time came with them. Claire was nowhere to be seen and the three adults have this serious expression on their faces.

"Morning, Leah…" Celus greeted her and asked her to leave the field for a while so that they can spar. Leah didn't understand why she needs to go out if it is a spar between the adults. Then, as she studied their facial expressions, she wondered whether it isn't a simple spar but might be a serious one where they have to go all out.

Leaving the adults to their business, Leah walked outside of the cave and saw Azzy's training with her master has already been started. After six days, several of Azzy's skeletal beasts were able to walk on the field. Of all them, the platinum grade four-headed Hydra stood out as it joined Azzy and Vajra to attack the wobbling teacher of hers, albeit rather slowly.

On the other hand, Claire was nowhere to be seen. Even though the current her was comfortable with 20x gravity and no longer need energy armor to reduce the pressure, she was still training by climbing the gravity stairs up and down.

After training for six days, she could see the results very clearly by how she was able to hold against Leah. So, she intended to improve her foundations by tempering her body.

In simple terms, training at 20g improved her maximum strength but upon tempering her body, Claire found her base strength has been increased. This is why she started spending on this climbing more as days passed.

Leah was a heavenly genius from the moment she was born. She was so talented in every field that she doesn't even need to work hard to learn something. So, when she saw how the princess of Triastal is working very hard in contrast to her, a trace of admiration and a bit of jealousy grew in her heart.

However, she will not admit it even to herself. Now that she made a decision on how to treat Claire from now on, Leah ignored Claire and placed her concentration on Azzy's training.

<strong>"Vajra, use Lightning Net Prison" "Hydra, use Hydro blast"  </strong>

Azzy passed quick orders while creating six spears purely made of dark energy. They were floating above his head. If someone who didn't know about Azzy's soul skills were to see this, they would have believed it is a soul skill or a skill from a skill card but in reality, it is the new technique he developed after six days of training with the Supreme Realm expert.

While it looks amazing, there's a heavy drawback as well. Because they were six in number, the soul power they consume is huge. With nearly three hundred thousand soul power, Azzy couldn't even create low-rank-5 spears. All he could create are of rank-4 strength that consumes less energy and also has less range.

But, there's a catch here. Because of the Protos and Death energies present in those spears, upon contact with the enemy, they will invade the opponent's body and corrupt his/her soul energy provided that the victim isn't too strong to expel it.

Of course, right now, Azzy has only about ten percent worth of Protos Energy left in his soul orb compared to before as the remaining ninety percent went to Vajra. So, his energy attacks weren't that corruptive as before.

The black gem on the black lightning wolf's forehead is actually a seal created by the Reaper on the day of finals.

The unnamed diamond-shaped seal constantly absorbs the Protos Energy from Azzy's soul orb every day in minute amounts. The Reaper created it because of two reasons. One is that he felt Vajra became weaker after all the Protos Energy extracted from its body. And two, he felt it is necessary to dilute Protos Energy within his soul orb so that he can suppress it whenever it's necessary.

He doesn't want the Protos energy to take over Azzy's consciousness every time he went through emotional situations. So, he decided to balance it out.

And now, after several weeks, the seal is more or less complete. The Reaper decided to reopen the seal again later once Azzy manage to master the ten percent Protos energy, which is about only one percent of whole the soul energy present in Azzy's soul orb. So, one can say it is really diluted…

With the dilution of Protos Energy, Death Energy now occupies a huge share in Azzy's soul energy of about seventy-five percent in Azzy's soul energy and the remaining twenty-four percent constitutes of lightning energy…

The new arrangement greatly satisfied the Reaper as originally, before the second awakening, Azzy's soul energy was solely made up of Death Energy but later, it had to share with other energies that came along with Vajra.

Not only the Reaper but even Vajra and Azzy were also happy with it as its attacks also became very lethal compared to before.

Back to the battle, Vajra was the first to unleash its soul skill. A lightning energy net descended onto Aurelia who allowed herself to get captured.

Then, the skeletal Hydra blasted huge volumes of water torrent towards her.

Just as they were about to hit her, the Supreme Realm Expert simply blasted a hole out of the net and dodge the other attacks. What's surprising here is that all this while, her strength was suppressed to only low-rank-5, the same as him.

However, Azzy wasn't discouraged as he was well prepared for it. The moment Aurelia blasted a hole out of the lightning prison net Azzy also threw the spears with all his strength.

"Damn fast…" Leah's eyes widened to not only see the energy spears in blurry but one of them even managed to pierce her teacher's leg. The rest were missed.

Taking out the energy spear from her leg, Aurelia returned to a sober state and said, "The spears are still not sharpened yet. There's still room for improvement. Try to reduce those numbers and focus on increasing the sharpness."

Azzy nodded in response.
