My Soul card is a Reaper

Back when he was in the past timeline, Azzy bought a mask for the purpose of protecting his identity if he ever trains in death scythe. However, due to the lack of time and no sense of urgency, he wasn't able to use this until now.

"Hmm… you never wore a mask before. Are you trying to copy me, Azrael?" asked the masked girl upon seeing his actions. Lenore's mask was different from the usual ones.

Her mask is Arcana itself and to utilize its powers, she had to wear it. After wearing it for several years, she became used to it.

On the other hand, Azzy's mask is a normal item that people use for fashion/cosplay. As he cannot say that he knows about Fallen Angel Berith and his abilities, Azzy stayed silent and summoned his death scythe before charging forward.

"Ah… wait for me…" Lenore followed him from behind but his speed was a lot faster than hers. Before she even covered one-third of the distance, Azzy had already reached the main enemy, evading Commander Harvey on the way.

As Azzy jumped up a bit higher and then raised the death scythe to strike down the enemy, the latter scoffed while looking at the weapon and at the boy that is wielding it, "The Death Clan… You guys are still kicking around, huh? Never matter… you will also… Hmm… resistance? Fine, I will play with you for a while." At first, he was smiling mischievously but upon realizing that he cannot hypnotize Mark, his expression changed and he raised his arm.

Before Azzy slashed at the enemy's shoulder, metal alloys present deep in the underground tore apart everything on their way and erupted from the ground in the form of flexible rods before capturing Azzy's arms and legs in a timely manner. His death scythe fell down on the ground.

Everything just happened in a matter of seconds. Azzy didn't expect to be captured by the enemy so quickly. Perhaps, he should have summoned his powerful skeleton subordinates.

Meanwhile, Berith controlled those metal alloy pillars to bring Azzy closer to him. He wanted to see what special talent was hidden in this kid but before that happens, Azzy expelled some of his soul energy using the energy eruption technique and pushed away those metallic pillars.

The force emitted by his energy erupted not only freed him from those pillars but even the horse was pushed away and lost its balance.

Berith hurriedly placed his attention on grabbing the reins and bringing back the control. Azzy fell to the ground and hurriedly picked up his scythe and horizontally slashed at the horse.

The red horse's front leg had a cut and death energy seeped inside its body. The beast started crying in pain, making Berith serious.

Captain Lyman who was finally free from the attacks of energy swords took the opportunity to charge forward and ambush the demon.

Back to Azzy, after injuring the horse, he continued his attack by conjuring a Protos Spear and threw at the demon.

The Protos Spear was about to strike Berith when he was grabbing the horse reins but at the last fraction of a second, the latter conjured up a stack of energy shields and tried to defend himself as soon as he sensed the presence of corrupted energy inside the attack.

He was no longer an angel and don't possess the divine energy but that doesn't mean that demonic energy wouldn't be harmed by the Protos energy.

The Protos energy stabbed through the energy shields one after another. It managed to destroy three shields before disappearing.

Berith let out a sigh of relief. "Damn, that was close." He then took another look at his opponent in confusion, "this kid possessed the energy of the Protos race. He also possessed death energy. Then, why is he on the side of humanity? Or most importantly, how could he keep his humanity until now? He should have long been corrupted by now. There's something strange about this fellow. I guess I need to bring him back with…" "Hmm?"

*Swoosh*

As Berith lost his concentration on the surroundings for a moment, he failed to detect an ambush from his behind. By the time he had noticed it, a limbless and wingless dragon made of pure lightning energy thrown by Captain Lyman was already reached him and struck him.

Berith didn't get enough time to defend himself as his body faced billions of joules of energy at once.

An enormous explosion occurred, blasting away the demon and killing his horse at the same time. Unfortunately, being near the enemy, Azzy was also caught up in the explosion.

He was thrown away a couple of dozen meters and crashed onto the ground. He was heavily injured.

Azzy wasn't the only one who was injured though. The wind generated by the explosion pushed away the Arcana Masters standing around. Thankfully, they were only superficial injuries and nothing serious like what Azzy had.

Another good thing that happened is that the demon lost control over the werejackal too.

Above in the sky, the three guardians of WAMO were also paying attention to the battle going below. They saw what happened and two of them frowned at the result.

"What was your subordinate doing, Commander Kruger?" asked Vice President Ramiel in a bit of seriousness.

Kruger calmly answered, "the enemy is too powerful and we cannot afford to think about casualties that occur in the crossfire, President. Or else, there will be more casualties. Moreover, it wasn't Azrael's place to battle the enemy's boss all alone in close combat."

The elf wasn't even the least apologetic about the incident. He thought it was an obvious move. And Zero Squad follows the same way too.

However, Cornelius wasn't impressed by his answer and asked him, "Do you even know who he is?"

"Are you afraid of the retaliation by the Death clan?" Kruger responded with a question while taking a glance at Ramiel Crescent seeing that he was also a member of the clan even though he stopped living with his clan members, a long time ago.

Cornelius shook his head, "No, he is the hope of the human's future. You cannot treat him the same way as the others."

"He is already hot-headed in the first place. Don't try to protect him, Mr. President. And don't worry. If he dies, I will resurrect him using my life force, alright?" Supreme Commander Kruger asked the two of them to focus on their job so that they can go down there below and finish the battle.

Ramiel looked once more at Azzy who was getting up on his feet with a masked girl's help, and then, turned his face toward the barrier. He gritted his teeth, "you damn demons, get lost…"

Lightning energy escaped his fingertips and entered the barrier, destroying the wisps of smoke.

Back to the battle on the ground, Berith rose to his feet with cuts here and there on his body. He looked around to find his horse but there was no trace of it as it burst into million pieces in the earlier blast.

Demonic energy surged within his body. With the rage clearly evident in his eyes, Berith set his eyes on the human that dared to hurt him. He let out a roar, "You filthy human piece of trash…"

In the next second, metal alloy pillars erupted from the ground all over the place; a lot of them were piercing the Arcana masters.

Lenore hurriedly picked up Azzy in time and dodge to the left, evading the attack.
