My Soul card is a Reaper

155 Champions League Semifinals part-2

The semi-finals continued.

As everyone expected, Vann alias Draco-Galarian beast won the second semifinals with ease and advanced to the finals.

In the Duo category, the twins from the Ash clan and the team from Central Academy advanced to finals.

As for the group category, even though Team Solar tried hard, they still suffered defeat under the aggressive attacks of the Dragon Academy.

Now, everyone's eyes are glued to the grassland with team Twilight on one side of the giant rock and team Crescent on another side.

Team Crescent consist of a sword user like Gideon, two summoners out of which one summoned a platinum grade Sabertooth tiger and the other summoned a black jaguar, the healer owns a staff, and the last one has a bow as her Arcana.

"Barbara, be careful. No matter what, you can't engage in a battle against Claire and Azrael, alright?" Crescent team's captain-Eugene warned her seriously to which she nodded. "I know."

"Everyone, remember their targets. Unless you finish those, don't bother leaving and help out your teammates. And under any circumstances, we couldn't lose this match. Understand?"

"Yes, captain." As the team members collectively replied, the captain nodded with a satisfactory smile, "good."

*Whistle*

As soon as the countdown timer is finished, the team's healer-Ellis raised her staff, <strong>"Soul skill: Divine Protection."</strong>

Light particles flew from her staff towards all of her allies except for Barbara, forming a light armor over their physical body.

This skill will increase their recovery rate from wounds and injuries as well as soul power for the next 15 minutes.

While it will not make them invincible like Claire's Holy ground, still, it is better than nothing.

All of them rushed towards the middle rock, not intending to waste any time.

<strong>On the other side of the rock;  </strong>

"Guys, just two matches away from the championship. Let's do this…" Azzy and others gathered in a circle and put forth their hands on top of each other. "Team Twilight, let's go…"

*Whistle*

As soon as the countdown timer is over, Azzy dashed towards the rock like a flash.

Within a few seconds, he reached the base of the rock and pushed his leg against the ground.

However, instead of jumping upwards, he leaped towards climbing the free-standing rock, clenching his fist.

The spectators watched his hand was covered in dense dark energy before a powerful punch landed on the rock.

*Boom*

Suddenly, the rock explodes and an enormous amount of dust fills the air, covering Azzy like a thick fog.

After a couple of seconds, as the dust was cleared, members of team Crescent halted their movements as they were surprised about the sudden explosion.

Meanwhile, the rest of the team members of team twilight who were left behind because of the difference in speed between them and Azzy were on their way.

"Vajra, come out."

He summoned the black wolf right away and then, folds his hands behind the back, staring at his opponents with an indifferent look.

His opponents felt as if he was challenging all of them to come together and face him if they dare.

"As expected, it's Azrael," Eugene mumbled as he saw the boy behind the explosion.

Looking at others, he then gave a signal to which Barbara, Ellis-the team's healer, and Elvera, the Archer slowed down while the remaining two sped up towards Azzy with their Arcana.

In the meantime, Claire successfully caught up with Azzy and stood beside him after watching the opponent's strategy.

"Claire, do your job," Azzy said to her not to waste the time by waiting for them. Since she wanted to face Barbara, he wanted to let her do it by all means.

It would let him spare injuring her with his own hands.

However, before she could reply, two energy arrows were launched towards both of them at the same time by Elvera.

Claire raised her sword and cut down the arrow while the other one was blocked by Vajra's paw.

In the next second, Captain Eugene and sword user Malcolm reached them and took an initiative to launch an attack.

Claire blocked Malcolm's sword with her own while Azzy blocked Eugene's punch with his hand.

The fact that neither Claire nor Azzy even moved a step back while blocking the attack says a lot about their combat strength.

Eugene expected that Azzy would stop his attack. So, he wasn't surprised in the least. Raising his left hand, he launched a palm strike towards Azzy's chest.

Continuing to tightly grab Eugene's right fist, the latter hit his left wrist with a left palm, redirecting the incoming attack towards empty air.

Gideon who was only a couple of meters away from Azzy was suddenly flown back as if some invisible force hit him.

Mia and Snivy halted their movements for a second in surprise.

Azzy narrowed his eyes, "so, this wasn't a simple palm strike."

"Surprised, aren't you?" A mysterious smile appeared on Eugene before he generated wind between his fist and Azzy's palm and got freed quickly.

"It isn't his attack but his passive ability," the Reaper's voice echoed in Azzy's head, clearing his doubts. "Just like you can see the death of a dying person, he could minutely control the wind within his range."

After receiving the information from the Reaper Azzy commented in a plain tone, "You are born with it."

Eugene nodded with a smile, "You are indeed just like how Prince Vann has told me. Ever since I watched your battle with Vann, I wanted to spar with you but right now, the victory is important. Farewell…"

Putting forth his palms towards Azzy and his teammates in his back, he unleashed the soul skill that he hadn't shown until now.

<strong>"Soul skill: Tornado Blast"</strong>

In the meantime, Eugene's jaguar and Azzy's black wolf lunged at each other.  As the latter is stronger because of the vast difference between their grades, Vajra overpowered the black Jaguar.

Jaguar which was pinned down by Vajra's paws suddenly disappeared as all of his soul power is consumed in the process.

A mini vortex appeared before his palms and generated a powerful tornado, which engulfed Claire, Azzy, Eugene's teammate, Vajra, and the other members of Twilight.

In just a couple of seconds, Gideon, Malcolm, Snivy, and Mia were seen blasted out from the barrier together.

The proctor and Sahara quickly managed to catch Malcolm and Mia while the other two crashed onto the ground and fainted with their ribs being fractured.

As the dust cleared, Azzy was seen standing at the same spot with dark energy covering him like a shield.

On the other hand, Claire's golden wings were sprouted from her back and shielded her while she crouched on the ground.

Vajra was seen almost at the edge of the barrier, blocking it with its sheer force.

*Wow*

Letting out a powerful bark, it started to rush towards its master.

In the meantime, a shock appeared on Eugene's face. His voice shook in disbelief, "How is this possible? It was my full power. Even if it can't heavily injure you, it should have been enough to throw you out."

"Well, seems like my resistance power is stronger…" Azzy shrugged his shoulders in response.

Glancing at Claire, he spoke, "Captain, it's us now. Leave them to me. I'll join after this."

Claire flapped her wings and flew into the sky.

*Swoosh*

Elvera quickly shot an arrow at Claire. The latter dodged it with ease and flew towards him.

Back to Eugene and Azzy, the former quickly took out a recovery card to recover his soul energy.

Azzy, on the other hand, was busy quarreling with the Reaper.

"In a real battle, your allies would die if you act with such carelessness." The Reaper scolded him.

"I just didn't expect that the attack would be like this." Azzy defended himself.

"You have a saber in your storage card. You could have just go and chop off his hands before he unleashed the soul skill. Why haven't been you using it? Is it for decoration?" The Reaper countered his statement with a logical statement.

"But, this isn't a real battle. How could you tell me to chop off a fellow human's hands to disrupt a soul skill? Do you want me to despise myself or something?" In Azzy's view, it's a despicable act to do even if his opponents can recover their limbs with a powerful healing card.

He didn't care about what the rest of the world will think but if he does such a thing, Azzy will fall into his own view.

"Suit yourself." The Reaper no longer cared about giving him advice. He felt its best if Azzy faces the reality.
