My Soul card is a Reaper

Crossing the barrier, Velez's body continuously flew without any stop. Before he crashed onto the wall, the Proctor caught him and put him on the ground. Velez had already lost his consciousness and the Death Knight glared at Azzy for a second before disappearing on his own.

"What the hell just happened?" The guy in the audience section who was complaining earlier looked like his eyeballs popped out of the socket. Everyone just rose to their feet in shock to see an all-powerful Velez end up knocked out by one punch.

And it wasn't just a simple knockout. Velez's insides were completely punctured by Azzy's one punch.

After applying a powerful healing card on Velez and saving his life, the Proctor glanced at the battle platform, specifically at Azzy, "The power behind the punch is atleast equivalent to that of a mid-rank-8 expert. So, this is the real strength of the talent that Commander Kruger wanted to bring into the Z squad, huh."

The Proctor then looked at the unconscious Velez, "this is what you get for being overconfident."

In his eyes, Velez wasn't prepared and took Azzy lightly. But, he didn't know that Velez was prepared. It's just that his loop didn't work on Azzy's soul energy which is powered up by the natural energy, which made Azzy break the invisible barrier and strike the target.

Back to the finals, once Velez was out of the battle, the rest of the members of Team Abel were fully alerted to the situation and everyone summoned their Arcana right away before attacking Azzy collectively without any hesitation.

Marcus is the vice-captain of the team and in Velez's absence, he took charge for the first time. His Arcana is a dual attribute sword (Fire/Wind). He is the first to attack Azzy by unleashing soul skill.

The flames took the shape of a large bird as it flew toward its target.

Meanwhile, Saffron, the youngest of the team and the owner of a double-headed golden cat, also unleashed a soul skill at the same time. However, she didn't aim at Azzy but her teammates. As a light/dark attribute, the golden-furred cat can act as an aggressor or a healer. To protect others, Saffron made protective barriers around others. Once she saw that her teammates are safe, she then unleashed a beam of darkness through her palms, aiming at harming Azzy.

The fourth member, Jesse had summoned her fire/wind/light bow staff and unleashed a fiery wind, supporting the flames released by Marcus' sword and increasing its intensity.

Lastly, the fifth member of Team Abel, Noah of the Blood Clan created a blood spear and threw it at Azzy.

At that instant, Azzy couldn't help but inwardly praise their coordination of attacks and their split actions. "They lost their backbone but still could fight without hesitation and still might be able to pull such stunt while withstanding pressure. No wonder they were the favorites of the tournament. But then again, Abel Tower is said to be a powerful ancient organization. So, it is expected."

And at the same time, Azzy also didn't fight back or back away. Instead, he just took their attacks directly, testing the strength of his defense. Of course, he didn't forget to continuously absorb the natural energy from the surroundings and pumped into his body to increase sturdiness.

"Rael" "Azzy" "Azrael"

His teammates who were earlier in a daze now went into a panic. Gideon was about to rush forward but Claire controlled her emotions and raised her hand, "Stick to the plan."

Azzy's teammates then stood in their spots and just stared at the dark flames and the blood that enveloped their teammate. It lasted for ten seconds.

At first, they were indeed worried because Azzy was hit by several attacks but then a couple of seconds later, they realized that their teammate wasn't even moving from the spot. It eased up them a lot.

As the flames and the blood disappeared, everyone saw an invincible 14-year-old Azzy who stood there like a steel wall with his hands to the back and silently gazed at the opponents.

This shook the hearts of the four of them. No matter how strong they are, no matter how talented they are, it is impossible to not be shaken up by this. They felt like in front of absolute strength, everything is useless. Even the spectators couldn't believe their eyes for a moment as only a person in the legendary realm will be able to block those attacks with ease. Either that or Azzy might have used some technique to nullify all the damage.

Even Azzy's friends have no idea about the passive skill that he was born with. So, they couldn't help but assume that this might be his passive skill.

Vice-Captain Marcus also assumed the same. He was in denial that Azzy was too strong for them to even leave a scratch on him. Losing his cool, he shouted, "Guys, don't fall for the trick. Keep on attacking."

His comment made Azzy realize that he had shaken up his opponents. It disappointed him a little bit as he was praising their mental strength earlier.

Anyway, he achieved what he wanted. He no longer needed to entertain the opponents.

As the opponent was about to go for round 2, Azzy made his next move. He raised his palms and shot a sphere of concentrated soul energy toward Saffron but actually didn't aim at her. Instead, he exploded it in the mid-air, throwing away everyone a dozen meters away.

Luckily, everyone from Team Abel had protective barriers. As a result, no injuries were inflicted upon them but those protective shields were destroyed in the process.

Looking at it, Claire conjured a sword made of divine energy and raised it, "There's our signal. Team Twilight, attack."

"Okie, capture her," Mia ordered her Arcana. The Oak Tree extended its branches toward Jesse, the bo staff user. The black lotus then flew up a few meters and Louis shoots an arrow at Jesse at the same time.

Meanwhile, Claire, who already activated her soul skill, flapped her wings and flew toward Marcus, the vice-captain of the opponent team.

Gideon, who was normal until now, activated his lightning mode. However, to everyone's surprise, instead of ordinary blue lightning sparks, there were red sparks. It took him less than a second to reach Saffron who was on the floor and stab her back with the sword.

More than a hundred million joules of energy were released by the red lightning sparks and almost electrocuted her to death. However, he was also quick to launch a healing skill on her, right away. As a result, Saffron only went into an unconscious state.

Azzy didn't stand still either. He took care of the remaining opponent by reaching the exiled member of the Blood clan and planting a powerful kick in the chest. Just like with the prince of Freyles nation, Noah also flew away for a couple of hundred meters before crashing onto the ground, losing consciousness right away.

Within a minute, only Marcus was seen fighting from Team Abel's side. However, individually, he was no match for Claire who had the power of instant regeneration from her injuries and the instant recovery of the soul power. As a result, he kept on getting pushed back.

Claire was slashing left and right.

*Cling* Cling*

At first, he could parry her attacks but slowly, her attacks got more robust and faster. Due to the fact that he was alone and used all of his soul skills, Marcus' mind also took a hit. So, he couldn't think straight.

"Get down…"

After managing to push him to the edge of the barrier, Claire then put all of her strength into the sword and pushed him further before spinning around and giving a roundhouse kick. Her leg struck his chin.

Marcus flew up and crashed onto the ground. He had the strength left to stand and go inside the barrier but feeling that it is useless, he just stayed on the ground until the five-second limit is over.

"Team Abel is out of battle. Team Twilight wins the gold medal match. Congratulations." Proctor Leaf loudly announced.

"Twilight" "Twilight" "Twilight" "Twilight" "Twilight"

Once the announcement was made, the spectators rose to their feet and cheered loudly. Everyone from Team Twilight started hugging each other. Even Izora couldn't help but join the celebrations of her students at the battle platform.

Meanwhile, Claire looked around in a daze and then clenched her fist, raising it above her head. "We did it, guys."
