My Soul card is a Reaper
Chapter 570 Arrival Of Qridus Garcia



As soon as the fire giant Surtr along with the other demigod realm beasts appeared in the Central city of Arcana world, the nine hidden clans and WAMO received the news and they acted quickly to resolve the situation.

Unlike Fenrir who keeps his power suppressed to make sure that no one detects his presence, the fire giant couldn't do the same way. And the fact that this incident is happening at the headquarters of Arcana World makes it easier for the hidden clans to travel. 

Vesyrn also received the news but unlike the other clans, the Death clan lacked a supreme realm expert, well atleast publicly, and to keep it that way, he made a personal visit while leaving Pierre Garcia at the clan to protect it in his absence.

But, when he arrived at the location, he saw that the fire giant isn't in a rampage mode but is only guarding the dome-shaped barrier.

To understand the situation completely, he asked one of the few teachers who stayed behind in the Arena. It was a teacher from Dragon Academy.

The Exalt realm expert told him everything, concluding that this might be an attack on the Dragon Academy's principal.

Vesyrn didn't take his words for granted and looked above in the sky, or specifically at one person.

He flew back to the group and consulted WAMO's supreme commander (Kruger), who looked quite surprised by the appearance of another elf like him.

As WAMO typically has more information than the hidden clans, he thought that this elf would probably give him the info that the teacher didn't give him.

Kruger come out of his senses and replied, "Let's try talking to it."

"If you go near to that violent thing, you will be roasted to death, Mister. So, let's not do that," said a voice in reply. It sounded like a girl or probably a child.

Vesyrn and Kruger raised their heads to look toward the source of the voice. The other experts who were reluctant to lead the attack the fire giant also raised their heads.

They saw a golden-haired little girl sitting on the left shoulder of a buffed man, whose biceps were as thick as atleast 10 inches. They slowly descended toward the level of others.

The experts were taken aback to see the little girl isn't just in the same realm as them but even stronger than them. They felt like she is a supreme being. The buffed fellow, on the other hand, is at the peak stage of the legendary realm.

While Vesyrn wondered who she was, Kruger greeted her by cupping his fists, "It's been a while, Lady Ila."

"Hundred years, give or take," replied the cheerful little girl with a smile.

"Ila? That Ila?" Vesyrn looked at her again in a bit of surprise. The supreme realm experts who have heard the name too couldn't help but look at her once again.

Ila was a known figure in the history books as the one who gave the finishing blow to Aelius Crescent when he went on a rampage, 6000 years ago. She is the current leader of Abel Tower.

"Excuse me, earlier, you sounded like you know what that thing is," said the celestial elf named Neremyn. He might be a haughty one but that doesn't mean he would be running off his mouth in front of a legendary figure like Ila. 

She has more or less the same status as Qridus Garcia, although slightly less considering the fact that Qridus is the person behind almost every high-magnitude natural disaster occurred in the world for the past five thousand years. 

That bag of bones from the death clan is like a god of destruction who had the license to clear out civilizations.

Anyways, back to the current situation, Ila answered Neremyn's question by pointing out her finger at the heavy build warrior with a broadsword on his shoulders and the look of someone willing to fight to his death, "I believe he is the best person to ask. After all, that thing is the mess of Asgard."

As the gazes moved onto Magnus Stormborn, the latter answered in his deep voice, "Surtr used to be the ruler of Muspelheim, a volcanic region in our old Asgard. Back during the era of our Great Lord Odin, Surtr used to be a guardian of our home.

Then, we had a prophecy stating that Surtr will become our doom. The event is known as the Ragnarok. To prevent it, he was sentenced to death. He rebelled. 

After a great battle, he lost to our Great Lord and escaped. However, by that time, his soul was damaged to quite an extent. No one knows how he did it but, he somehow merged with his Arcana and became the immortal fire giant himself.

In the end, he ended up causing the Ragnarok, forcing our ancestors to abandon the place and look for a new home. When our great lords ascended to the god realm (rank-11), they sealed him at a secret location. It looked like someone released him on purpose. 

But, the strange thing is that he should have gone on a rampage after the release even though he is working with another demigod. The fact that he is staying silent means that he is getting something worth in return. He is famous for collecting treasures."

"Okay, so, how do we defeat him then?" asked the celestial elf in a bit of impatience. 

There's a war coming up ahead and the last thing he needed is to deal with a demigod right now. Even the others were in the same opinion as him.

His question was met with silence from Magnus. The others gave him weird glances.

"What is it?" asked Neremyn. 

Ila let out a sigh and shook her head, "You elves…"

As Neremyn only grew confused further, Vesyrn said, "If they know how to defeat him, would you think they would seal him forever?"

"After evolving into a divine being, it has become immortal. If you want to defeat it, then, you have three methods. One is to destroy its core, and the other is to extinguish it using the jewel of water.

First one is impossible for even the other demigods even if they come down from heaven. The other is in the hands of a weakling despite having a strong soul to control it."

"What is the third solution?" asked Elyssa Moon, the Matriarch of the Moon clan.

The pink-haired little girl let out a smile as she glanced at Vesyrn, "The secret records of Abel Tower say that the Death Clan's founder received a certain treasure from the God of Death which can be used once to destroy all the life on Gaia when the time comes. If you target a single individual, you could potentially kill even a demigod."

Everyone's gazes shifted to Vesyrn this time. He looked quite surprised as he said, "I don't know. This is the first time I'm even hearing of this story."

"The weapon should probably be with Qridus Garcia," commented Agasthya, the leader of the Kuru clan.

Neremyn looked at Vesyrn and asked, "Can you communicate with him?"

Ila answered in place of Vesyrn, "Well, I don't think he needs to."

Everyone followed her gaze and saw a ball of light in the sky.

It slowly got brighter and bigger until everyone was forced to close their eyes for a moment. When they reopened, they saw a familiar-looking old man.

"Ancestor!" "It's Qridus" "Something feels different about him" "He looks a lot younger and healthier"

Ila let out a smile as she mumbled, "You finally did it. Congratulations, my rival."
