My Soul card is a Reaper
Chapter 340 Revenge Is Not Justice

"Verdict? Who sent you?" asked Loren in a serious tone.

As Azzy didn't bother to hide his soul power because she wasn't holding the hostages like before, she had realized that a powerful assassin was at her doorstep.

Combining with how she couldn't sense his presence until the door was destroyed into powder, she didn't take Azzy lightly at all.

Azzy is neither in a mood to give her a reply nor does want to give her an opportunity to even attack.

<strong>"Sealing technique: Decarune"</strong>

Stepping inside, he unleashed Decarune sealing onto her before she give orders to her servants to attack him.

Within just three seconds, the sealing technique was completed and hit her, sealing away her soul orb.

Loren's eyes are widened in shock. She screamed at him in anger, "My soul energy… You… what did you do?"

Azzy didn't answer and instead, he dashed towards her at his peak speed.

Before she gets to her senses, he planted a kick into her abdomen. She flew backward and crashed onto the wall. Azzy stayed there, in the center of the room, and waited, not because he wanted her to fight back or anything. He wanted to make sure all the six of them be far away from the exit so as to zero their chances of taking someone hostage.

The five servants of Loren immediately rushed towards Loren to guard her just like how a soul beast would act its master when the latter is in peril.

"Ugh…"

Loren groaned in pain and got up on her feet while clutching her stomach. Her soul orb might have been sealed but her physical strength and speed didn't leave her body.

Maybe, she was born special. Unlike others, she wouldn't need soul energy for either the wolf transformation or controlling her servants.

"Kill him." She roared at the five of them who rushed toward her. After that, she transformed into her beast form.

Azzy who was waiting for her made his next move.

He slammed the death scythe's handle end at the floor, unleashing a soul skill of the Death scythe he never used before.

<strong>"Soul skill: Cursed land"</strong>

The floor of the entire lab turned pitch black, taking away 50% of the speed of his enemies. Everyone felt as if their legs became heavier by several folds. At the same time, the floor became as soft as watery mud.

Fortunately, the Reaper is looking after him, making sure the range of the cursed land doesn't affect others. So, without any worries, Azzy continued his assault.

He raised his free arm.

Several pairs of pitch-black hands rose from the cursed land and caught the legs of their targets.

With no soul energy to erupt it, Loren depended on her claws to destroy them.

On the other hand, her five servants couldn't get free, so, they transformed into bipedal wolves to get free from the grip. However, none of them managed to get free and their bodies were slowly getting dragged into the cursed land.

Loren, who freed herself, charged towards him on her four limbs. However, due to the effect of the cursed land, her speed was very slow, this time.

Even without the Eyes of God, Azzy could see her clearly and so, he powered up his body with soul energy and also natural energy. By the time she reached him, two layers of energy, one is dark, and the other being translucent is seen covering Azzy.

Upon reaching Azzy, Loren jumped at him while raising both of her arms to slash at his chest with the pair of claws.

Azzy dodged to the side and slashed his death scythe, going for her leg.

"Argh…"

She roared in pain as a large cut appeared over her left thigh. A trace of panic appeared on her face as it wasn't recovering. Her regenerative powers appeared to be gone.

"Protos Spears"

Azzy then summoned a couple of Protos Spears and threw one of them at her. Loren saw it but with one of her legs injured, combined with the effect of the cursed land, she couldn't manage to dodge in time and had her upper left arm pierced by it.

This time, there's soul energy in her body to expel the invading Protos energy. To make sure she won't get the time to use some life-saving treasure, Azzy threw the other Protos Spear too. The other one pierced her chest.

Two large wounds can be seen on the point of impact. As for the inside, the Protos energy started to invade her organs too, forcing her to collapse on the cursed land.

In her whole life, Loren never felt anymore helpless. Tears appeared to be filled in her eyes as she screamed at him, "Who are you? Why you are doing this? Just give me a quick death."

Her breathing became a lot more difficult within just a few seconds. Her body was paralyzed completely.

Azzy walked towards her. The memory of 76 deaths turning into a pool of blood replayed in his head. His hands shivered uncontrollably and his gaze turned extremely cold.

He raised his death scythe, "Don't worry, I planned to do the same. The earth doesn't have any place for psychopaths like you."

*Graaa* Graaa*

The five servants were sinking slowly. Almost half of their body was submerged into the cursed land but they don't have any care for their lives. It's just that they couldn't bear to witness their master is about to die.

As Azzy was about to swing his death scythe to cut off her head, Loren shut her eyes as she knew that there was nothing she can do now. Maybe, the Protos Energy infected her brain. Her thinking ability was also affected.

One second passed, two seconds, 3 seconds, and even 5 seconds passed but she felt nothing happened. She opened her eyes only to see the large curved blade was just an inch away from her neck while Azzy is frozen.

He was talking with the Reaper.

"Why did you stop me, Chronos?" he asked.

"It's because what you are doing is wrong. This isn't how justice is done," replied the Reaper.

"Wrong?" Azzy grew confused. Wasn't Reaper the one who motivated him to kill her? Now that he had prepared his mind and heart to go for her head, the Reaper is saying that this isn't justice. What is this?

The Reaper understood Azzy's thoughts. He explained, "The one who you have previously killed is a psychopath murderer but the one before you is just an accused, not proved a criminal yet.

How are you sure that she killed humans before? How are you sure that Evan was telling the truth? Even if she killed, how many of the buried bodies on the mountains were her victims?

Not just her, Azrael. Before giving a death punishment to anyone, you should first confirm their crimes. Only then, you can kill them.

If you kill them without evidence, then, it is called revenge, not justice."

"So, what should I do?" Azzy asked.

The Reaper answered, "Use soul search. Her soul is powerful enough to resist its side effect. Confirm her crimes and deliver the punishment."

Realization dawned upon Azzy. "I guess I was too rash."

To Loren's surprise, Azzy put aside the death scythe and stretched his arm towards her head.

Why is he doing this? What is going on? Why am I here in the first place? Loren was losing her mind while struggling to breathe. Even if Azzy didn't do anything, she looked like she would die any moment.

Meanwhile, Azzy's palm was on her forehead as he unleashed the fourth soul skill of the Reaper.

"Soul skill: Soul search".
