My Soul card is a Reaper

Placing his hand on Azzy's shoulder, WAMO's president teleported the both of them to a long corridor with titanium metal doors installed everywhere.

However, it looked abandoned for some time as there is dust everywhere on the floor, walls, doors, etc…

As Azzy looked at his surroundings and wonder where he ended up, Cornelius introduced the place to him, "this is the former training facility of Z-squad. After shifting their base, we never had the chance to reopen once again. Anyway, follow me inside."

Azzy nodded in understanding. Since he was about to fight a Supreme realm expert once again, he didn't want to be distracted by other things. Hence, he put away his curiosity about why such a huge facility was abandoned.

Soon, both of them entered one of the chambers, which looked quite familiar to Azzy.

The room was not the same but it reminded him of the training chamber he used in the academy. He remembered those sparring robots but quickly put away those thoughts and focused on the present.

Meanwhile, President Cornelius was observing the control settings of the room. He pressed several buttons, first removing every speck of dust, and then, followed by activating a violet-colored barrier on the walls of the room which will cut off the connection with the rest of the world.

It means that no one from outside the room would be able to see, hear, or even sense what happens inside unless they enter the space. Being confident in his abilities, Azzy wasn't that worried about the location. He always had a backup of rewinding the time anyway.

Soon, both of them stood before each other, standing apart just ten meters away.

The dwarf Supreme Being spoke the rules, "We will engage in a three-minute spar. During the first minute, you will attack and I will defend. During the second minute, it will be my turn to attack and you will defend. And in the final minute, both of them are allowed to the both of us. You have 20 seconds to prepare and your time starts now."

Deciding to play by this president's rules, Azzy didn't bother to ask any questions and went directly into battle mode.

As he summoned Vajra, President Cornelius stood firmly in his place and crossed his hands behind his back as if he was telling that he won't be lifting any finger.

Little did he expect that the wolf was nothing more than a distraction. His real attacks are something else.

As soon as the black lightning wolf dashed forward, Azzy summoned the hourglass in his hand and turned it upside down.

"Soul skill: Time Stop"

Before the entire world was frozen in time, Cornelius caught a glimpse at the hourglass and his facial expression turned stiff, "Third Arcana?"

As the black lightning wolf reached him, Azzy proceeded to summon his trademark, four Protos Spears, and successively threw them at him. Once he was struck by the Protos Spears, the wolf attacked him with its claws at its peak speed.

Three seconds passed in all the clocks and watches before the time was unfrozen, the Supreme realm expert was down on the floor with his body full of wounds and Protos energy invading his system.

"Argh…" Cornelius let out a painful scream and hurriedly used his soul energy to heal himself while expelling the foreign energy from his body.

Azzy was waiting to complete his final move. As soon as the dwarf president rose to his feet, he used up all of the natural energy he stored in his body for the past few hours and unleashed a giant translucent palm.

"Art of Buddha: Heavenly Palm"

Filled with the concentrated natural energy of enormous amounts, a giant palm moved its way toward the Supreme realm expert.

Obviously, as a guy who lived for thousands of years, it didn't take a fraction of a second for Cornelius to gauge its power. He pushed forth his palms and conjured a giant scarlet-colored barrier over himself.

In the next second, the giant palm collided with the barrier.

A crisp sound echoed in the room as the barrier shattered like glass and blasted the supreme realm expert. Cornelius flew and crashed onto the floor without being able to defend himself. The flooring was damaged as a result.

Unfortunately for Azzy, the attack wasn't appeared to be strong enough to completely defeat the opponent. The President's bones were cracked here and there but his soul energy managed to heal him and returned his body condition to normal in just a few seconds.

Azzy remembered his previous battle with a Supreme realm expert who was far stronger than this guy. For a moment, he wondered whether he should activate the gravity suppression skill card.

But, before he made up his mind, the black lightning wolf acted on its own and charged forward.

As it opened its mouth to bite Cornelius' neck while he was standing up, the latter caught it timely and threw it away. Vajra flew toward Azzy.

He came out of his thoughts and reflexively caught its body with his right hand and stared at the opponent in a bit of disappointment that his plan failed.

Bursting out into laughter, Cornelius then praised Azzy, "Good… very good. It's been more than a century since I was injured by someone. And it even happened to be someone from Exalt realm. I'm impressed, Mr. Azrael.

Honestly, I should say that I'm surprised that you have awakened three Arcana. Since it is impossible for one to naturally possess three of them, then, I guess either two of them are a set or one of them awakened through another method.

Anyways, I'll give you full marks for your offense. There's no need to test it any longer. Now, let's see how you will fare in defense, then. You have ten seconds to prepare. After that, I will attack and you will defend yourself. Get ready."

Azzy nodded in silence and simply put down the black wolf.

Without dismissing the hourglass, Azzy went on to unleash another soul skill. Soon, two humanoid skeletons were seen guarding their master.

The normal-looking one is at peak rank 9 and the winged one is at peak rank 8. With the both of them as the shield, Azzy relaxed a bit and proceeded to take out the recovery card and replenish his soul energy.

"I'm ready, President Cornelius," said Azzy as the ten seconds are up.

Like others, Cornelius also couldn't gauge the power of the humanoid skeletons as they lacked soul energy. He can only test it by fighting.

"Okay, let's start with the left one." Cornelius eyed the normal skeleton to test its power, believing that the winged one is stronger because of its wings.

Suppressing his strength to peak-rank-7, he charged forward and attacked the peak-rank-9 skeleton with a punch.

However, before he struck its ribcage, the skeleton caught his punch and casually threw him away just like how the supreme realm expert did it for the wolf. Unfortunately, the skeleton doesn't know how to hold back its strength.

As a result, the supreme realm expert flew like some kind of cricket ball and crashed into the wall before destroying the barrier as well as the wall. 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

*Thud*

Cornelius fell in the adjacent room with a huge hole formed in the middle of the steel-made wall.

"Ugh…"

Letting out a groan of pain, the supreme realm expert slowly got up on his feet and looked fearfully at the skeleton, "That thing is too dangerous and has power far stronger than me. What the heck happened to this kid during the past 27 years?"

How could he have known that nothing had actually happened for 27 years for Azzy never existed during that time...
