My Soul card is a Reaper

"It is a royal family that belongs to the nation of Evenor." The Reaper explained to him. "Even the death clan would think twice to make a move against it. Just the royal family has three rank-9s."

"Of course, none of them is a match to your clan head." The Reaper added the statement as an afterword.

"Oh! So, she\'s a princess." After concluding with a simple sentence, he asked, "do you need anything, Miss?"

"The name\'s Sapphire Magnolis, Mr. Azrael of Aclein Academy." She answered him by directly mentioning his name.

"You know me?" Azzy asked her. Inwardly, he was surprised. Why would a princess of a faraway nation know him?

"Of course…" She nodded with a smile, "I knew everything about you… However…"

She then glanced at the wolf and said, "I didn\'t expect your pet is a one top tier platinum grade beast. I should say the rumors are understated. Even my Griffin feels threatened by its presence… No wonder you are at high-rank-4 at an age of 12."

"So, what do you want with me, Miss Magnolis?" Azzy thought she might have inquired about him because of the rumors and quickly lost the interest to converse further.

"Well, I don\'t think this is the right place to talk. Can we go elsewhere?" Sapphire was too embarrassed to show that she was feeling extremely uncomfortable at the moment.

As a person of Wind Attribute that weak against fire, she was barely holding herself to stay calm in this extremely hot environment.

The same goes for the griffin that was screaming in her mind to it fly away from the spot.

As if the environment is bad enough, it was standing before a powerful Arcana beast and even feels threatened by it even though it was a rank higher.

So, this princess suggested Azzy leave for the city together and discuss there.

But, why would Azzy go all the way back for this stranger just because she requested him?

Naturally, he rejected it flatly.

"I have important things to do, right now," Azzy replied with a straight face. "Either tell me here or please leave the way…"

His behavior caused her to frown.

As a princess, she ought to have a little bit of arrogance. When she was rejected by a commoner like Azzy, she was indeed displeased.

Having said that, her arrogance isn\'t that high as Leonard that she would feel the need to punish him or something.

She swallowed her pride and tried to compromise, "you seem to be in a rush. So, I won\'t interrupt you. However, I hope you spare me sometime after you were finished."

She then threw a card towards him, which he caught in reflex.

"I\'ll be waiting." She smiled with a nod and left the place.

Meanwhile, Azzy\'s eyes fell on the card. It was a four-star card with an image of a portal. "Teleportation card?"

Azzy has one of them in his storage card. So, he immediately recognized it. But, what\'s strange is that the portal was red in color, instead of white.

"It isn\'t a simple teleportation skill card, Azrael." The all-knowing deity once again provided him the knowledge of the skill.

"It is a variation of teleportation card. You should call it a fixed Teleportation. Once you activate it, you will teleport to a fixed location that the card was linked to.

Since it is a four-star card, it has a limit of thousand kilometers. She\'s indeed a daughter of heaven. Not everyone can create such a skill card at such a young age.

Moreover, I don\'t sense any malicious intent from her. You should get acquainted with such people…"

Azzy was surprised at Reaper\'s words. It was the second time he heard of this deity praising someone.

There are a lot of talented and strong experts at Death clan. But, the Reaper never praised anyone except for Avia.

Maybe, in his eyes, only platinum grades are worthy. Considering Vajra\'s grade, Azzy thought he might be right.

*Wow*

The bark from the wolf brought him to reality. Caressing its fur, Azzy nodded, "Yeah. You are right. Let\'s take care of the king, first."

Upon receiving the order, the wolf dashed towards the top of the mountain.

In no time, they reached the top.

Looking down from the edge, Azzy used aura sensing to the maximum to get the whereabouts of his target.

"2 kilometers away from here…" He mumbled and turned his head towards the direction where he sensed it.

However, Azzy didn\'t find any caves as he hoped. "Is it under the lava?"

He can\'t help but suspect that it is hiding.

Azzy thought of running soul energy throughout his body to strengthen his defense while diving into the lava but the Reaper stopped him to do so.

"You won\'t survive if you go in, Azrael." The Reaper warned him. "The temperature inside will be twice that of the lava lake. If your Arcana spirit is of fire/water attribute, it might resist but Vajra is of a Lightning attribute. Even the Protos energy wouldn\'t be able to save either of you."

"Should I leave, then?" Since it is akin to suicide to go in, and pointless to wait, Azzy wondered whether he should look for other monsters to improve his soul power.

In response, the Reaper suggested him to provoke the beast, instead.

"Provoke? How?" He asked.

The Reaper explained, "You can either send a powerful attack that will disturb the volcano or Vajra can release its aura to provoke for a battle."

"I think the latter option is better." Azzy didn\'t want to use the soul skill and cause a disturbance in the peaceful lava.

What if his action causes the eruption?

Azzy\'s naïve thoughts made the Reaper sigh.

As a personification of death, he naturally doesn\'t want his host to turn out to be a kind-natured brat. That kind of personality suits the heir of the light, not the death.

The Reaper was worried that Azzy won\'t be able to judge the people\'s fate in the future without mercy if it goes on like this…

<strong>Redwing Hotel, Estrya City;</strong>

Iphi Magnolis, the sixth princess of Eastern Evenor was walking back and forth, in a dilemma.

Originally, she was supposed to return to the Phoenix Academy. But, her sister said she had some business in this region.

Iphi didn\'t find anything amiss and followed her.

She felt it doesn\'t matter even if she were to spend a couple of days from the academy.

After all, she already spent an entire week away because of her half-brother\'s marriage.

However, it was only after reaching the hotel did she hear from her sister that she came here to meet the boy that defeated her.

Her sister even claimed that the boy is even worthy to be her fiancée, much less a Royal knight.

Now that her sister is away, Iphi thought of running away.

As long as she returns to the academy and asks the help of her grand-aunt, she would be able to escape the embarrassment of getting followed by a boy.

Even though the phoenix academy is an all-girl academy, nevertheless, students like her that belong to royal families can bring a Royal knight with them.

If it was some older guy, she wouldn\'t be in this tough spot. Because of Azzy\'s age, Iphi became troubled to being followed.

As for Azzy\'s opinion, she never considered it because of her status.

After thinking for a long time, Iphi made a decision. She opened the door and walked away.
