According to Reaper's statement, one can't sense the auras of other humans unless they revealed them.
As Aura reveals one's silhouette, it's the same as almost spying on them from far away.
Azzy was surprised to feel the auras of other Arcana Masters when he wasn't supposed to see them.
pαпᵈα-noνɐ1·сoМ It led him to ask the Reaper directly to which the deity replied, "It's because of Protos Energy."
'Protos Energy again? Just what is this Protos race anyway?' Azzy got annoyed with the Reaper's answer.
Why can't he control energy? It's because of wild Protos energy.
Why is he too powerful to crack even a rank-6 shield? It's because of Protos energy.
Why did he time travel? It's because of Protos Energy.
Why can he sense Auras? It's because of Protos energy.
Later when he dies all of a sudden, Chronos will probably reply to his soul that he died because of Protos Energy.
For a second, Azzy felt as if the Reaper was dumping everything on Protos energy for every unnatural event.
He was also annoyed at that Protos race for making his life harder.
"I'm serious, Azrael." The Reaper who sensed Azzy's feelings, explained to him, "The Protos energy is too complex for you to understand even if I start to explain. You should reach at least rank-7 to be qualified.
Anyway, get back to work. Since you were able to detect the surrounding auras, now, you should try to control your aura sensing in a way that you can only sense what you want to sense. That's when you will master this ability.
First, try to isolate the humans from your senses."
As Azzy tried to control it, instead of isolating, he only increased the range to a 2 km radius and saw a few more auras. Due to the forest being thick, Azzy saw thousands of auras that belong to the trees, causing him a headache.
"Azzy…" "Azzy…" "Lookout"
His thoughts were disturbed by Gideon's scream.
Only then did he realize that he was captured by the roots of a tree. It's not just him; even Gideon and Ranier were captured.
Both of them have summoned their soul weapons and trying to hack the roots to become free.
While Gideon was unsuccessful in his attempt because of thick roots and his weak strength, Ranier was doing fairly and almost got freed from the trap.
Leo seems to be also in the same situation but he was calm and wasn't trying to resist.
At the same time, the giant mamba that was earlier on the top of the trees was suddenly dived towards him while opening its mouth to swallow him.
With a thought in his mind, the soul card was summoned before him and the black lightning wolf jumped out of the card before leaping towards the snake that's trying to harm its master.
"Congratulations on your first kill, Azrael," spoke the Reaper.
"Oh!" It was all Azzy could react as he felt nothing.
"What the…" meanwhile, Leo was stunned to see how everything happened instantly.
In fact, while they were on the way, he detected the snake long ago. Then, he saw Azzy was following them with a dazed look.
He changed the directions in the midway and let them encounter the peak-rank-4 Banyan Tree beast that ensnares everyone that goes in the way.
He knew that giant mambas are sly beasts. They never attack head-on or someone prepared to counter. They always do surprise attacks.
Just as he expected, the mamba attacked at the right time.
A smile almost appeared on Leo but it suddenly disappeared as he saw the wolf bit its neck, separating its head and the rest of the body in a second before it uses its claws to cut off the roots and free Azzy.
Maybe, it's because it sensed the wolf is a superior grade beast. The Tree quickly retracted its roots, freeing Gideon.
Vajra let out a low bark and looked at Azzy as if it was asking whether to finish this tree or not.
He rubbed its fur with a smile, "it's alright…"
He might be young but Azzy at least understands that not all beasts deserve to die, at least without any reason or else, this Arcana world would have been emptied long ago.
"Azzy, absorb it before it disperses." Unlike Ranier and Leo, Gideon saw his strength before, so, he wasn't a bit surprised about this feat.
He quickly reminded him about it.
"Put your hands on the beast soul orb and try to connect with your soul energy with it."
Azzy followed the Reaper's instructions and put his hands on it before redirecting his soul energy towards his hands.
As usual, more than half of his soul orb became empty while it gathered at his hands. Right then, his soul energy detected its food and started consuming the beast's soul orb.
"What…" Leo was once again stunned to see the entire soul energy of the Beast was absorbed by Azzy just in a matter of seconds.
Ranier stood there like a statue not able to comprehend the situation. He just boasted how this Prince is incredible having a talent of consuming 20% of the beast's soul orb but now, he saw this junior swallowed everything.
Even those heavenly geniuses with rank-9 potential can only absorb 80-90%. People call them sons/daughters of heaven or in whole, Heaven's favored children.
He doesn't know what does that make Azzy. Ranier can only think of him as one thing. Heaven's most favorite child?
Meanwhile, Leo clenched his fist, 'this type of talent shouldn't be allowed to exist at all costs. He will be nothing but a threat to me if one of my brothers finds him. Before that happens, he needs to disappear.'
"Gideon wants to look for a Galarian beast, right?" He mumbled as he glanced at Gideon.
Immediately, a plan formed in his mind, and a smile appeared on his face 'Then, I will take him to one. I just wanted to teach them a lesson but now, I guess it would be better if there are no witnesses.'
Meanwhile, Azzy acquires 90 thousand worth of beast soul energy but as it is refined into his, only a mere 900 soul power worth of soul energy was increased in his soul orb.
So, his soul power jumped to 78000, not much change from before, once again surprising Leo, whose intention of killing him only increased further.
"Come, let's go…" Not intending to even praise for outward appearances, Leo told them to follow him closely.
Meanwhile, Azzy saw a faint black aura around Leo, right now. 'I haven't seen that aura in a while. The last time was during the second awakening,' He thought to himself.
That's right. It was the infamous death aura that was only visible to him from birth. It's his passive ability like the rune class teacher's seduction.
As soon as he saw it, Azzy knew he was going to die soon but he didn't warn him.
When he recovered his senses, a while ago, he saw how Leo was calm and not resisting the Banyan Tree's attack.
As they were following him, Azzy who was suspecting him from the beginning concluded that this attack might also be his scheme.
So, he kept quiet and then, observed the remaining two teammates. They don't have the death aura. He sighed in relief.
