My Soul card is a Reaper
Chapter 148 Champions League Quarterfinals Part-3According to Team Twilight's strategy, as soon as the opponents stepped onto the middle island, Gideon needs to unleash the soul skill.
Once the lightning dragon from the skies makes contact, it will cause a huge explosion with residual power.
While the damage of the explosion is quite weak, the explosion itself could potentially throw everyone a dozen meters away.
Once everyone is in the waters, Gideon's role is to use another soul skill and paralyze most of them to give enough time for the team members to get to their targets.
However, with everyone from the Rebirth dodging the attack, the impact of the explosion was quite less on them. So, their plan of dividing them has failed right away.
Still, it wasn't all for naught either.
The sword user Dewy and the spear user Misty Queen along with their beasts successfully entered the waters in a hurry to minimize the impact of the explosion.
Gideon now at least wanted to paralyze them to amend his mistake of unleashing the soul skill a second late.
However, Azzy, who was supposed to wait until the opponent team's dispersion, made his move.
From the start, he doesn't want to depend on a strategy that depends on the actions of others. That's why he already decided on his next move the moment their strategy fails.
<strong>"Soul skill: Eyes of God"</strong>
<strong>"Soul Skill: Spear of Death"</strong>
With his eyes turning pitch black with no visible pupils, his soul energy gathered in his palm before taking the shape of a spear shrouded in deathly darkness.
All the Arcana, including their own allies, screamed in fright for a moment.
With his eyes fixed on Luci's giant Rhino, Azzy spoke, "Guys, I'm going ahead to disrupt their formation personally. Gideon, wait a bit to use your ten thousand volt attack. Captain…"
If it was a battle, he wouldn't have waited for her permission but as it is a tournament where he was representing the country, Azzy felt like he shouldn't show his recklessness to the public.
Not to mention, he is the president of the disciplinary committee. If he would show undisciplined actions, what could he persecute others for?
Thankfully, for him, Claire had full confidence in Azzy. She supported him to charge ahead.
Unlike the Phoenix Academy students, he didn't know how to walk on the surface of the water. So, he forcefully dashed towards them, splashing all the water around him.
Meanwhile, Captain Luci who saw the blurry figure that was charging toward them gave quick orders. "Azrael is making his move. Get ready with your life-saving cards. That Dark spear is dangerous."
<strong>"Stomper, use Shield."</strong>
She didn't waste any time unleashing the soul skill to protect everyone. Almost instantly, a large shield appeared before everyone.
Iphi, who was observing the situation from the sky, drew the bow and shot an energy arrow towards the blurry figure.
However, Azzy was too fast for her. She couldn't even distract his attention for a moment.
Within just three seconds, Azzy reached the island with an energy spear in his hand. Unlike previous instances, he didn't throw it as everyone stood together. He couldn't risk killing a human.
Looking at it, Azzy poured soul energy into his legs and leaped towards the shield before kicking it with all of his strength.
The shield broke like glass and Azzy was now standing in front of his target, the five-meter giant armored rhino. It was almost three times his size and yet, its legs were trembling in fear with its eyes locked on the death spear.
"Now…" Just as Azzy was about to thrust his spear towards its chin, Captain Luci who was crouching beside the rhino unleashed the skill card.
The Rhino beast hurriedly backed off and vines erupted from the ground below Azzy and captured his body until the neck as fast as lightning.
Even Azzy who was fast enough to chase a rank-7 couldn't manage to dodge the trap. His legs and hands were tied up by the vines, which slowly started to absorb his soul energy and strengthen their grip further.
"Azzy" "Azrael…" Claire and the others shouted in worry.
"What a perfect trap by Captain Luci." "They aren't a top-level academy for nothing" "Hmpf, that kid is too reckless and arrogant" "This is why one shouldn't look down on female power"
"The great mighty Phoenix Academy is using trap skill against a mediocre Aclein Academy." "There are five of them and still can't face head-on against a 13-year-old boy"
The moment Azzy was captured and stayed still, all kinds of murmurings were heard everywhere in the stadiums.
Meanwhile, on Twilight's side, Claire told everyone to not move from their spots to save Azzy after she spotted the black lightning wolf staying there instead of rushing to save his master.
This simple incident made her realize that Azzy wasn't in any kind of danger.
"Azrael, you are powerful, but not smart." With Azzy staying still while not leaving the death spear yet even though his soul energy was constantly seeping away from his body, Luci broke out into a smile.
She raised her head and gave her next orders to Iphi, "It's your turn. Take out that tree girl."
Receiving the orders, Iphi ordered the flaming eagle to fly toward the enemies while drawing the bow.
Upon reaching 70-meter range, she shot the energy arrow towards Mia who was standing on the top branch and waiting for the timing.
"This little…" Mia was taken aback as she saw Iphi shoot the arrow at her while she expected her to aim at the team. Thankfully, the distance is quite far and she had enough time to jump onto another branch.
As her range isn't as far as Iphi's, she could only focus on defending.
Meanwhile, the arrow destroyed a branch of Oaktree, but with water nourishing its roots, the tree Arcana slowly started to recover the branch.
With her first attack failed, Iphi conjured another arrow before shooting at her once again.
This time, Mia was ready to face it. She too launched a similar energy arrow against the incoming attack.
Both of them collided in the middle and nullified each other attack due to their equal strength. However, it did impress the audience, especially the scouts as they watched the youngest contestant in the tournament is proving herself.
In the meantime, on the middle island, with her eyes fixed on Azzy, Captain Luci passed out orders for her other three teammates: "We'll stay here and guard until he's out from the battle. Get ready to use the Vine trap in case he breaks out."
Since the trap can be destroyed by the soul eruption, she wanted to apply for the trap cards continuously until all of his soul energy becomes empty. Once Azzy is out, she felt the victory will fall into her hands.
However, just then, Azzy opened his mouth, "I'm not the one who's foolish, Miss Hearth."
After that, he became silent again while allowing his soul energy to be absorbed.
In fact, he was even willingly giving the soul energy to the thickened vines that increased its strangling further.
Azzy's veins from arms to the legs popped up due to the pressure and yet, he appeared calm on the surface while his pitch-black eyes were still active.
"Hmm?" The smile on her face was replaced by a frown. The other three ladies also looked at him. They wondered what was going on in his mind.
After more than a minute passed, Luci looked at Azzy and said, "Stop bluffing around. I can sense your soul energy has been decreased by at least three-fourths. Now, the power of these vines around you surpassed even peak-rank-5 realm and might have developed a certain degree of resistance. Even if you use the soul eruption, you cannot completely free yourself. You have no choice but to admit defeat."
A few seconds later, Azzy once again opened his mouth, "It's about time." His eyes were on the vines. With the Eyes of God, everything within the vines is visible to Azzy.
As Luci frowned once again, she saw the vines around Azzy start to become dark.
"What!" The four girls were taken aback by surprise.
Slowly, the entire vines became dark vines before slowly disappearing on their own.
"Quickly, Dewy, use another…"
The sword user Dewy activated the same trap card to hold Azzy down. Just within that fraction of a second, Azzy pushed his leg against the ground and jumped high in the air, narrowly escaping the trap.
While in the air, he took out a skill card from the pocket and used his remaining soul energy worth 100 thousand soul power.
"Hehe hehe…" A peal of infamous hysterical laughter resounded across the stadium as a purple skull formed in his left hand.
