My Soul card is a Reaper
Chapter 488 I Can't Kill A Friend Who Isn't Evil Even If It's In An Illusionary RealmAs Azzy stayed silent, not knowing what to say after hearing those words, Leah continued, "But then again, I should thank the guardian god for providing this opportunity. After all, I could probably never propose to the real you for I know that you already have someone else in your heart. I'm not that shameless to steal someone's love.
Anyways, thank you for not directly rejecting me even if you are nothing more than an illusion. Now, you may continue with the attack and end this trial."
After confessing everything that is buried in her heart, Leah shut her eyes once again.
Meanwhile, Azzy doesn't know what to do now that his misunderstanding was cleared. Leah was thinking of him as an illusion and that is why she ambushed him ruthlessly. Adding on top of that, her story was also true and it appeared that she really had feelings for him.
How could he stab her throat after receiving a love proposal from a friend with who he had fought many battles together? Even if this is an illusionary realm where there is no true death for the both of them, Azzy couldn't bring himself to kill her. Hence, knocking her out appeared to be a better option.
And then, what?
He will meet her in two weeks when he goes to Camelot and pick up his parents. So, it might become awkward for him to see her and continue to pretend that he knows nothing.
What if he outs with the truth? Then, Leah might be embarrassed to see him and eventually, their friendship will take a hit.
Hmm… his poker face might be able to hide his thoughts and emotions. So, I guess it is better to act as if nothing happened. Yup, that is the best course of action.
After making his decision, Azzy dismissed the Protos spear and gave a chop to her neck from behind.
As she was ready to get killed and the Excalibur isn't interested to help her, she fell unconscious for the second time.
Once she fell on the ground, Azzy raised his head to look at the ceiling, "Master, I probably understood why this is a test for me. But, I cannot kill a friend who is not evil, even in this realm."
"Naïve…" A voice responded from the ceiling before both of them turned into specks of light and disappeared from the illusionary realm.
Azzy thought that he could prepare himself during the next couple of weeks when he will see her again but little did expect that his new master would decide to prank him by bringing her to his domain too.
"Wha... What is she doing here?" asked Azzy as his eyes fell on the beauty that makes even Aphrodite jealous.
The guardian god let out a mischievous grin, "well, she has passed the ninth level. Hence, she will be my student. As my disciple, I believe you should formally meet her, right?"
"We already know each other. There's no need," refuted Azzy immediately. He wants to run away as fast as possible.
"Nope, that cannot do." The guardian god waved his index finger while continuing to keep a grin on his face, "both of you seemed to have problems. You need to resolve them right now. After all, you will work together on missions in the future, anyway."
"This damned…" Azzy cursed his master in his head and took deep breaths while waiting for the princess to get up.
Roughly about 15 minutes later, she slowly opened her eyes and saw two familiar-looking figures with a change in the background.
Naturally, one can imagine her shock and embarrassment when she learned the reality.
With a reddened face, she closed her face and turned her face away while mumbling, "I want to bury my head somewhere right now…"
Azzy was keeping his face straight but even he couldn't look at her because of the awkwardness.
"hahahaha…" the guardian god bursts into laughter, finding the scene very cute, but fortunately, he didn't push it further and instead, eased the both of them by changing the topic while using a serious tone, "Anyway, from this moment, Leah, you will be my representative for the hidden clan meetings. If you are in extreme danger, blew this whistle and my Leon will come to your rescue."
He threw a vessel flute at Leah, who caught it in reflex before taking a glance at Azzy's face who was looking at his master. She immediately looked away with a blush on her cheeks.
Meanwhile, the guardian god shifted his attention to Azzy and, "And Azrael, as for you, you have the hourglass to protect yourself, I also keep on your activities for most of the time, and in the worst case scenario, your future counterpart will come and save you. So, I wasn't worried about your safety.
You also had several sealing and soul energy techniques in your arsenal, yet to be mastered. So, it doesn't make any sense if I give you more. The same goes for you too, Leah.
But, still, as your master, I will have to give you something as a present. It's not much but it is still a treasure coveted by the gods. Only True gods and Archangels are said to possess these."
The guardian god tosses a fist-sized pouch toward Azzy. As the latter caught it and curiously observed it, his master explained, "This is known as a Sky Bag. In theory, the space inside it is so big that an entire galaxy will fit inside. This treasure was created by Space at Gaia's request. She gave it to me on our… *Ahem* million years of friendship. Today, I will pass it on to you."
"Hmm?" Both Azzy and Leah felt something strange when the guardian god paused for a moment but didn't voice it out, thinking that he might be embarrassed about speaking about a million years of friendship when the mother goddess was billions of years old.
After Azzy stored the sky bag and thanked his master, the guardian god went on speaking about their near-future plans. Both of them took notes in their heads so that they can adjust their daily schedule according to their master's plans.
