My Soul card is a Reaper

"Inheritor of Death, you really intend to take the side of a stranger over your loved one?" Agatha felt like her pride was wounded upon seeing Azzy rescue Estella once again. If not for the fact that she sensed the presence of the Reaper, she wouldn't have hesitated to attack him for being preposterous.

Usually, one's Arcana spirit influences their host's personality a lot. While Claire didn't inherit any arrogance or pride, she still received her violent/aggressive side from Agatha.

To her accusation, Azzy calmly responded with two statements, "First of all, you aren't my loved one, Claire is. This action of yours is independent of her decision. And second, even if it's Claire, I would still do the same thing because I'm the referee here. A referee needs to be impartial at all times."

For a brief amount of time, Agatha stared at him in silence. Meanwhile, Sahara (Vice Principal) and Estella started to wonder why she's addressing Azzy by such a thing? Is it because of his powerful Necromancy skills or is it something else?

Estella who was from a hidden clan couldn't help but think of the Death Clan when she heard it. She was also well aware of the ancient history between the hidden clans, more specifically the close relation between their clans. But then, she threw the thought away considering Azzy doesn't have any surname, clearly indicating that he is a commoner. Maybe, he doesn't know his clan? She wondered.

Agatha opened her mouth, "Currently, I don't possess the power to fight you. This is the reason, I'm going to accept the verdict."

Without waiting for his reply, she returned to the mindscape, letting the unconscious Claire fall. Azzy quickly caught her, "Claire."

While Agatha's words deeply etched in Sahara's mind, Estella turned around to walk away after informing him that the effect only lasts for one hour on average. She didn't even thank him for helping her out but Azzy didn't mind her behavior as he never expected it either.

He then carried her to the infirmary while chatting with the Reaper on dispelling the illusion on her. Since he wasn't sure when Estella turns into a real enemy in the future, Azzy felt that he needed to prepare in case it happens again.

"It's not much of a big deal for me but this wasn't a simple illusion that blocked her senses. Her soul itself was trapped in an illusion realm. If I were to forcefully drag her, it might harm her instead." The Reaper didn't recommend Azzy to save her and he even further said that it might be a good experience for Claire against the illusion attacks.

Meanwhile, Claire was in an intense battle against her most formidable opponent inside the illusion realm. The surroundings around her perfectly resembled the Royal Training grounds at Camelot while her opponent is Leah who was killing her over and over again.

It is similar to Uphiar's soul skill where a person dragged into the illusion realm will resurrect over and over again until the objective was completed. And here, Claire's current objective is to win against Leah and get outside. Thankfully for her, she experienced Uphiar's illusion regularly during her classes. So, she wasn't feeling any panic while being trapped here. Perhaps, the only thing that's still troubling her is the result of her match with Estella.

If she loses the match, then, no doubt, she will be humiliated by kneeling in front of her. On top of that, she wasn't sure whether her Arcana spirit possessed her body or not. She was hoping it would be the case but there wasn't any hint for her to confirm it. For now, all she could is to try harder and leave the place as soon as possible.

<strong>"Soul skill: Amalgamation of Ice and Fire."</strong>

"Ice." Leah started to freeze her entire surroundings. Claire faced it numerous times and is extremely familiar with the attack. However, the only issue here is that she cannot use materialistic things like skill cards or even use soul skills in an illusion realm. So, she had to look for an alternative solution.

Flapping her wings, Claire flew higher and dodged the freezing before Leah started to attack with multiple bursts of flames that are erupting from the ground nonstop.

In order to not get injured accidentally, Claire improved her defenses by supplying soul energy continuously to all of her body's vitals and created dazzling golden energy armor over her.

"Fire" "Fire" "Fire" "Fire"

As the fake Leah continued to attack Claire, the latter discovered one more new thing about this realm. The opponent will have an unlimited amount of soul energy. This made it a far powerful technique compared to Uphiar's.

"What should I do now?" Not only does Claire feel hard to dodge the flame bursts but also covers the distance between her and Leah for close combat. The real Leah might have held back very much but this Leah doesn't. While she couldn't use any techniques that Leah hadn't used against Claire so far, Leah still could move following the instincts. As for how that works, unfortunately, even Estella doesn't have an answer for that.

Upon realizing that she can't close the distance not until these flames bursts run out, Claire only focused on dodging them. It went on like fifteen minutes before the freezing flame bursts disappeared and Claire instantly flew towards Leah while swinging her sword vertically at empty air, creating a wide energy attack in the shape of an arc.

However, before she even saw the result, her consciousness blanked out and her surroundings changed to that of an infirmary where she found herself on the bed. Her left hand was in Azzy's hand while the latter's eyes seemed to be closed at the moment.

"I guess, I was lost." Disappointment filled Claire as she saw her surroundings and let out a sigh. It was then, she found Azzy. "Rael?" She slowly opened her mouth.

Azzy quickly stopped absorbing the solar energy and opened his eyes, "you are back."

"The match, did I lose?" Claire wanted to confirm from Azzy's own mouth. To her surprise, her boyfriend shook her head, "No, it was a draw."

"Eh?" Claire was taken aback. She wondered whether Azzy stopped the match due to her unconscious state. Agatha who was quietly staying in the mindscape then complained to her, "No, we actually won but your loved one over there sided with your enemy and nulled the result. Sometimes, I really don't get humans. Despite knowing that the world is unfair, they always talk about fairness. The line between good and evil is always thin but these humans keep trying to stay on that line and cannot bear the people who stand one side."

Even now, Agatha still can't accept the result of the match for she knew it was her win.

Azzy didn't know what's going on in Claire's mind but he didn't spare any details. Upon hearing everything from her Arcana spirit and her boyfriend about the same thing, she sided with her Arcana spirit and asked Azzy, "I don't get it. What's wrong with Agatha summoning the sacred pillar from the heavens or this mysterious forbidden seal against my opponent? It's not as if that arrogant girl will die from them, right?"
