My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 567 Arcana Festival: Day 2 (Part-3)



And then, as the flash disappeared, a large white tigress appeared as it roared. It looked like an exact copy of those white tigresses summoned by the twins.

Azzy narrowed his eyes as he stared at the white tigress just like the other experts. He realized that it wasn\'t an Arcana spirit but is made of energy. And despite that, it looked like a complete physical being.

Now, the question remained whether it is just the appearance or is there something more.

Meanwhile, in another part of the battle platform, the ignored Serestia stared at the others in displeasure. She gripped the skill card tightly, given by Raydon prior to the match while warning her that she could use it in case the opponents focused on him.

She was skeptical at first, but then as she saw how it went exactly as Raydon warned, Serestia\'s ego was hurt. Instead of using the skill card, she chased after the opponents to get into range.

Back to Raydon, upon unleashing the soul skill, he ordered the white tigress to take care of the bull and he charged toward the golem.

The girl quickly came to her senses and fired an energy arrow at the incoming opponent. It was quite precise. She showcased her archery abilities even during the earlier match too.

However, this is where Raydon picked up her weakness. The fact that she is accurate and quite straightforward in her attacks clearly told him the path of the arrow.

When he knows the path of the arrow, with his superior reflexes, it is like a walk in a park for him to evade those attacks.

Within no time, he closed the gap. The girl ordered the golem to kick him away while she drew the bow.

She planned to ambush him the moment with a lightning arrow he evade the golem. And once it strikes him, he will not only be injured but also be paralyzed, eventually ending up at her mercy.

However, little did she know that Raydon who evaded her arrows didn\'t have any plans to do the same for the golem.

As the earth golem motioned its giant leg to kick him, Raydon raised his dagger and slashed at its foot with all of his strength.

The blade and the golem\'s foot collide.

On one side, there is a golem with the temporary strength of a high-rank-6 Arcana, and on another side, there is a blade with the strength of a peak-rank-5. Not to mention, both of them are in gold grade.

It is obvious that his dagger should be blocked by the foot of the golem, correct?

But, the reality is something entirely opposite.

The dagger cleanly sliced off the Golem\'s foot and the golem lost its balance, falling onto the ground while Raydon slid forward a bit and jumped high.

Just as the girl crashed onto the ground and she quickly jumped high to land on her feet, Raydon reached her and pierced her back.

"Argh…"

The dagger pierced deeply into her skin before releasing dark energy into her system. The golem disappeared and she lost her consciousness soon after. The proctor, this time, acted fast and grabbed her through some sort of energy arm and dragged her outside to keep her safe.

Meanwhile, the tri-horned flaming bull was in an intense battle with the white tigress. The latter was almost defeated but it just wasn\'t caring about the injuries and in a full-on offensive mode, aggressively attacking the bull.

It goes without saying that the tri-horned bull is overpowering its opponent, but the white tigress gave enough time for Raydon to defeat the golem and its master. Hence, its purpose served in his eyes.

He charged toward the bull while turning into a shadow.

"Dammit." Dane Magnolis realized that his partner is down in a matter of seconds and the match became 3 vs 1 (including the white tigress).

He was forced to activate the power of the ring on his left index finger.

The scarlet gem on the ring glowed a bit, creating an energy shield around him in the form of an ellipsoid.

Gripping the handle of the lance, Dane ordered the bull to charge at Raydon.

Letting out heavy breaths of snort, the bull charged at the opponent with reddened eyes.

Raydon was confident to defeat him too. In his shadow form, he cannot be touched physically. As long as he was careful about the energy attacks, he will be good.

However, little did neither Raydon nor Dane expect that as the latter reached halfway, a large section of the platform suddenly collapses, and the tri-horned bull will fall into a deep pit.

Raydon put breaks to his feet and looked in the direction of his partner, who is standing not far away with a glowing staff raised above her head.

With an expression of seriousness, Serestia looked at her teammate and said, "He is mine to finish. Don\'t intervene."

Raydon didn\'t proceed further but neither did he exit from his current form. He waited.

In the next instant, Almost all of her soul energy was poured into the staff again as she mumbled, "Fire."

A tremendous amount of flames erupted from the pit, roasting the bull and destroying the barrier around it.

Her determination is good, but unfortunately, her power isn\'t enough. She failed to finish him.

"Moooo"

The bull was deeply angered and without caring about its condition, it jumped as high as it can and jumped out of the hole. Second-degree and third-degree burns are evident on its body.

On the other hand, its master is unharmed. However, his defensive shield is gone. And there are also holes in his shirt and pants. He glared at Serestia and then at Raydon. The latter then raised his hand and gestured for him to go on.

Dane didn\'t know what Raydon\'s problem with his teammate is but more than fulfilling his desire to take revenge for his teammate and the other defeated classmates, he wanted to beat up the girl that interfered.

And if he will go down, he will take atleast one with him. This way, he can also save his face.

"Rampage, I unleash the soul skill: Berserk."

The tri-horned bull was enveloped by his soul energy and its three horns turned into flames.

Serestia took out an SP recovery card from her pocket and shouted, "Raydon, I need you to cover me for a second."

Raydon just blankly stared at her. He didn\'t help her.

The raging tri-horned bull reached her as she applied the recovery card to recover her soul energy. Serestia timely jumped to the side, dodging its flaming horns, but Dane managed to strike her by extending his lance.

The lance pierced her abdomen and he raised her with the lance. Serestia pushed out the recovered soul energy from her body to escape and crash onto the floor.

Dane controlled the bull and it made a U-turn and rushed back at the girl on the floor. 

Raydon continued to be a spectator as if he doesn\'t have any intention of helping her.

Azzy deeply frowned as he got on his feet. Seeing that the proctor isn\'t intervening in the battle, he decided to do it. However, he couldn\'t step forward as the Reaper told him to wait and watch.

The Bull almost reached the injured Serestia, who doesn\'t even have the staff in her hand.

Serestia raised her arms to push out the remaining tiny bit of soul energy at a certain angle to deflect herself and thereby, reduce the inflicted damage.

"Arghh…" She screamed as her hands and the bull\'s horns collided.

To everyone\'s surprise, instead of energy, a pure gust of wind escaped from her palms, blasting away the bull.

Everyone rose to their feet in shock.

The tri-horned bull, its master, and the rest of the concrete platform were blasted away from her.

*Thud*

She collapsed on the ground, leaving behind everyone in shock.

For a few moments, the whole arena fell into silence. 

Forget about sensing peak-rank-6 strength of wind power from the girl in the 5-star realm and that too possessed a purple grade Arcana, even Azzy didn\'t expect Serestia to possess two attributes. Furthermore, that earlier attack was an attribute attack

"Dane is out of bounds. Emerald Academy wins the match and goes into the finals," declared the proctor.
