My Soul card is a Reaper
Chapter 419 Betrayal (Part-1)

Claire didn't understand her words properly but she didn't need to ask her the explanation as Azzy already started speaking about it, "Claire, this is the Hourglass of Time, it is a part of a set with my Death Scythe. Its work is to control time. Through this, I can momentarily stop the time, reset the whole day, and even travel through time."

"Time Travel?" Claire was already stunned by his words. If it is anyone else, she would have thought that it is bullshit and asked them to prove it but she trusts Azzy. If she doesn't trust her boyfriend, who will?

And when she put all the pieces together from Azzy's arrival into her life to the present, she came to the conclusion in an instant, "You are from the future, aren't you?"

"Azzy let out a sigh, "When I was 12, during my second awakening, due to some strange coincidence with the hourglass, I was unexpectedly stranded in this timeline without a way back. Now that I have broken through to the 7-star realm, I can go back to my present."

Claire stayed silent and was trying her best to digest all this information. For one moment, they were all happy, and now, her boyfriend is telling her that they need to be separated.

After a long silence, she asked in her shaking voice, "What timeline you are from? How long will I have to wait for our reunion?"

"I will be born on June 18th, 2008," replied Azzy. He further said, "When I return, I will be in the year 2021 on 30th November. That's 27 years, 8 days from now. But, I decided to time travel to every first day of the month for your sake. So, you will see me once a month."

"Once a month?" Claire eased up a lot when she heard that. She expected like he is from hundreds of years away. When she proposed to him, Azzy asked her whether she would wait for him even for a hundred years in case he went missing.

But, it was just then Agatha spoke in her mind once again, "Girl, when he returns to the present, you will forget everything about him. That's the basic rule of time travel. Ask him how he plans to make you remember."

"Eh?" Claire was taken aback once again. With a panicked expression, she hurriedly asked Azzy what her Arcana just told him.

Azzy let out a smile and answered, "The Celestial grade Arcana has the ability to resist the time alternation. After I was gone, the remaining seal on Agatha will be released and you won't forget me."

"Then, what about the others?" She fired a quick question.

Azzy shook his head. "No, they won't. However, I will meet them during my childhood and have fresh memories with them. Grandpa Oakley was the one who raised me. And… sigh…"

Claire felt silent. Azzy don't know what she was thinking but he patiently waited for her reply.

After thinking for a long time, she leaned her head forward and kissed him deeply. While kissing her, Azzy could feel that his cheeks got wet from her tears.

A minute later, she backed away and turned around, "We will meet again in 2021, Rael. Don't come back to see me once in a while. I will wait for you. Goodbye, my love…"

As she started running away, Azzy rooted to the spot. He didn't chase after her and with a determined expression, he took out his message item card and sent a message to his cousin.

<strong>Meanwhile, at the Arcana World;</strong>

​ <strong>Female Dormitory, Moon Academy, Moon City;</strong>

Barbara's sleep was disturbed by her platinum grade Arcana, Neko. As soon as it saw the envelope floating above Barbara's face, the spirit of the Black Sabertooth hurriedly informed its master.

After reading the message, Barbara's sleep was gone, and her facial expression changed immediately. She sent a reply to Azzy and then, a message to someone else before getting down from the bed and escaping from the dormitory without making any sound.

Roughly about half an hour later, Azzy and Barbara met at the outskirts of Moon City, where only two of them were standing within a 1 km radius.

"So, what is it that is so important to talk about, cousin?" She asked him.

Azzy didn't hesitate a bit as he answered, "We are leaving right now, Barbara."

Barbara didn't appear to be surprised for some reason. She asked calmly, "I understand that you should return for your survival. But, is there a need to rush to the original timeline, cousin? Here, you have friends, family, and a girlfriend. You can also see your parents every day. There are still more than 13 years till your birth, you know."

"It is for their sake that I'm leaving, Barbara," replied Azzy. He further said, "The world needs to forget my existence so that my loved ones would be safe. It is the only way for me to protect them from the Church of Light. The enmity between us had reached the point that those Cardinals will try to harm my family at every opportunity."

"My master can protect your family though." Barbara didn't appear to be convinced. She tried her best to prove her point, "I told you before. He is at the peak stage of the Supreme Realm. No one in this world can harm you or your family if we tell him the truth and ask for his assistance. He will surely do that for me."

Azzy gave his farewell and had already made up his mind to return. How could he accept her suggestion?

Obviously, he retorted with a statement, "Firstly, I'm not comfortable with someone else knowing our secret as there's a high possibility that they will use our knowledge of the future to fulfill their gain and mess up the timeline.

And even if he is a trusted fellow who will protect my family, he cannot protect himself from my future self. I already told you in our last meeting. That Demigod version of mine isn't a kind person. He will eliminate everyone that endangers the timeline. He will rather eliminate me and erase this timeline to preserve the original."

"Then, I guess that leaves me with no other choice but to do this," responded Barbara as she took out a skill card, taking Azzy by surprise.

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Azzy looked at her and then, at the skill card with nine golden-colored stars on the back. "What is that card, Barbara?" He wondered what she was going to do with it. She suddenly won't kill him, right?

Nope. Azzy didn't think that as he knew that even Barbara was aware that eliminating Azzy would only erase the interim timeline, which won't change anything.

Barbara then activates the skill card. It shines brightly for a couple of seconds before turning into numerous golden chains, which appeared to contain a trace of divinity in them.

In the next instant, Azzy's whole body was captured by the golden chains and he felt a great suppression on his soul orb. His Death energy is actually struggling to resist the effect.

His eyes widened, "You…"

"Sorry cousin but it seems like we have a conflict of interest." Barbara looked at him coldly as Protos energy formed a layer over her skin. "I don't want to sacrifice my relationships for the sake of your family."
