My Soul card is a Reaper

<strong>Imperial Palace, Egrein city;</strong>

King Brian was soundly sleeping in his chamber. Suddenly, the door was knocked continuously.

*Bang* Bang* bang* bang*

"Argh… who is that b*****d making noise." Brian wakes up in anger and found out someone is knocking on the door. Followed by the knock, he heard the voice of his father. "Brian, what are you sleeping sound like a pig? Open the door, this instant, or I will break it now…"

"Eh? Father? At this time? Looks like he is in a bad mood. I wonder what happened." Brian slowly stepped down from the bed and walked to the door before opening it lazily.

As soon as he opened the door while rubbing his eyes, suddenly, the old man before him grabbed his collar and almost lifted him up in anger, "I told you to send knights to Leo and keep eyes on him at all times."

At first, King Brian Light was taken aback by his father's actions, but then, as soon as he heard the words, his expression immediately changed. Freeing himself, he asked in a worried tone, "What happened, father?" He felt like something bad happened to Leo. Was he kidnapped by the enemies or was he harmed by someone?

Brian's father Timothy Light replied, "Our Leo was no more. The future king of the nation of Northern Qudour was killed by a platinum-grade beast. The person who we thought Leo was a disguised platinum grade beast, all along. Tell me, Brian, where did it go wrong?"

Timothy had fought wars in the past and seen a lot of deaths, including his brothers and children. So, he wasn't saddened by Leo's death. However, the fact that he wanted Leo to become the next king made him feel more depressed.

Timothy had watched all of his grandsons from their birth.

Comparing to other brothers, Leo wasn't great in any way. He was born with a gold-grade Arcana spirit like his other brothers.

His intelligence wasn't that great compared to even other students, much less his genius brothers. His behavior isn't good as well. He was full of arrogance and always looks down on others, especially his own identical twin.

Despite all of it, Timothy still wanted him to become the next king because of a prophecy.

When he was born, a seer told him that if Leo becomes the king, then, he will bring down the Southern Qudour and merge both of the nations to form one Qudour nation like before.

To make this possible, Timothy had to encourage the crown prince, the eldest of the brothers to not get trapped within this tiny nation as he had better prospects.

As the Northern Qudour nation was no longer ruled by the royal family but the government, the remaining two princes also followed the suit.

Then, he had a talk with his son, the current king, and let Brian announce Theodore as the crown prince first to follow the royal traditions, and wait until both of them reach rank-6 before conducting a fair test for the Kingship.

With Theodore's personality, Timothy was confident that Leo would claim the kingship. Even if the former's personality changes, he still has plan-B with him that will ensure the victory of his youngest grandson.

However, now, all those schemes and plans turned out to be a failure. His long dream of honoring his ancestors to bring back the land they lost has been disappeared with just a piece of news of Leo's death.

Upon hearing his father's explanation, The King lost his balance and almost fell on the door before he was grabbed by his father. "You… you aren't lying, right? Leo was killed?"

"Yes." Timothy let out a sigh as he nodded. "I confirmed the news." Although he wanted to beat this fatty son of his for refusing to provide the protection to his rebellious son that in resulted in his death, upon looking at his son's face, Timothy's expression turned soft.

"Did you say that the Leo we saw last time might be a platinum grade beast?" He slowly raised his head and looked at his father.

Timothy nodded in response, "We don't know exactly when it happened but I think it is in this year because the Leo had met the ancestor, last February."

Looking at the two knights standing behind his father in silence, Brian ordered, "Call Michal and Henry. I need them to investigate…"

"Don't bother." Timothy cut him off and explained, "I already done that as soon as I received the news.

"Father, that Everglade is the Principal. Leo is his responsibility. However, he is a rank-8 well versed with barrier techniques. Neither you nor I can deal with him if he refused to atone for his mistakes.

I need the help of the ancestor to make him pay for letting my son die…" He growled in anger.

At the same time, from the kingdom Hildegard, their two strongest generals who are at peak-rank-8 were being dispatched by Vann's master upon sensing the abnormality in the timeline of Hildegard, meaning the time traveler has made a significant change to the future.

The disappearance of his imprint on Vann, implying his death, and the shifting of the timeline of Hildegard at the same time, the old man felt the two of them are connected.

He also concluded that the time traveler is someone from the future that has a possible connection with the death of his disciple.

Not only him, but all the publicly known and hidden rank-9 Arcana masters have also sensed the shifting of the timeline. Most of them didn't care about it as they have lived for thousands of years. Shifting of the future means nothing to them.

Not to mention, the timeline of the whole world isn't changed. The timeline shifted significantly only for few nations like Northern and Southern Qudour, Hildegard kingdom, etc... As for the others, it can be considered negligible.

The ones who wanted to find Azzy but couldn't sense where he was hiding, immediately sent a message to their search parties to go into these seven nations that were affected.

However, those who were just a step away from the immortal realm like Qridus Garcia also sensed Azzy's presence within the Northern Qudour nation, although they weren't able to connect to Azzy's dream like the Death clan's head.

As the Champions League is going to start the next day, some of them suspected that the time traveler might be hiding in the Aclein city. If not, he might at least come to see the event.

In any case, they felt like they couldn't miss this chance. So, they sent their teams to the Aclein city while sending the searching parties to other nations.

As for the hidden clans that existed to protect the world, they only have one order. Kill the time traveler that changed the future of a few nations with his act.

They don't know whether the change is good or bad, but they are bound by the duty to exterminate such a variable.

<strong>Garcia Palace, Death Clan village;</strong>

Qridus frowned as he too sensed it. Sitting on this throne, he mumbled, "Since the whole world hasn't been affected, and I guess it is okay. After all, he is just a kid, but some of the other hidden clans won't give him a second chance.

I think I need to protect him from them and preferably, sent him back to the future. The owner of a celestial grade spirit can do wonders if he were to bloom at the right place…"

Thinking for a while, he summoned two elders of peak-rank-7 and then, ordered them to go to Aclein city upon getting to a conclusion that Azzy might be a participant in the Champions League.

<strong>Principal's office, Aclein Academy;</strong>

Azzy, Gideon, and ninth grade Ranier were summoned early in the morning to the principal's office.

Azzy and Gideon met Ranier on the way before going together to the location. All the way, the three of them wondered why they have been summoned so early.

<strong>*Knock* *knock*</strong>

"Come in." upon getting permission from the principal, Azzy opened the door to find two middle-aged men sitting on the sofa while everyone had this grim-looking expression on their faces.

"Just a while ago, I have confirmed the news that Leonard light is actually dead and was being possessed by a platinum grade beast. He stopped using his Arcana spirit after the trip to Nlethemar region. The three of you were his teammates." Pointing to the two guests, Barton further said, "These two gentlemen from the royal palace would like to enquire you the details…"
