My Soul card is a Reaper

01:52 A.M., Feb 5th, 2022;

Misty Mountains, Region of Drakonia;

It was the day of a new moon and dark clouds filled the sky, making the region extremely dark. However, there were a few places that don\'t have such a problem.

In one of the caverns located deep in the misty mountains, which is a level-4 region, the whole place was filled with glowing fire crystals, illuminating the entire cave.

Three young men were seen lying on the ground and a six-eyed large spider was staring at them with saliva dripping from its mouth but it wasn\'t making its move for some reason.

"When that human is going to come? I cannot resist eating them any longer. Hurry up or else you will lose your precious hostages…" As the rank-8 spider was trying its best to resist the temptation, a blinding flash of light appeared just a few meters away from it and Azzy appeared with an hourglass in his hand.

The six-eyed spider was taken aback at once as it saw a stranger. Meanwhile, Azzy\'s eyes immediately fell on the young men and the spider.

"Eh? I was transported into a level-4 region?" Azzy expected to find himself in a region near Emerald City or atleast in a random safe environment, not directly to the location where a platinum-grade spider of the 8-star realm is resting.

What if the next time travel takes him to a level-5 region? Azzy couldn\'t help but worried for a second before his attention was forcefully grabbed by the six-eyed spider, which shot a jet of venom at him.

Azzy hurriedly evaded its attack by jumping to the side and landing on his four limbs before charging forward like a bull, keeping his head low.

The six-eyed spider didn\'t anticipate an enemy with a speed exceeding the legendary realm. It couldn\'t even react as Azzy reached it and give a powerful punch to its head, blowing it off.

Its blood scattered all over the place and Azzy bathed in its blood mixed with other fluids in its head.

A huge glowing sphere (spirit core) made its appearance and started floating in the air as the rest of its body fell to the ground.

Azzy was about to absorb the spirit core and then refine it to increase his soul power but the Reaper stopped him from doing so. "You lacked a powerful summon with soul skills. Make it your servant." His voice echoed in Azzy\'s head.

Instead of absorbing himself, he fed the spirit core to the undead six-eyed spider formed in his mindscape and sat in a meditative position until the completion of the process.

About half an hour later, he rose to his feet and looked at the unconscious young men. "What to do with them?" he asked the Reaper.

The Reaper replied, "There was no aura of death on them from the start. You don\'t need to help them out."

"C\'mon, the three of them are only in 6-star-realm." Azzy\'s opinion differed from the deity. "I don\'t know how they ended up here but this region isn\'t safe for them in any way. Let\'s just drop them at the portal point and go on our way."

"Do whatever you want." The Reaper allowed his host to act as he wishes, thinking that it won\'t disturb the timeline.

Act used a flying card and put the three of them on top of it before walking toward the exit.

He didn\'t forget to summon the black lightning wolf to accompany him so that the native beasts lying around won\'t trouble him on the way.

Without facing any trouble, he managed to reach the portal point while covering his face with a mask. Once he was out of the wild zone, he also dismissed the wolf.

Drake City, just like the other cities located in respective level-4 regions, wasn\'t that developed. More than a city, it looks like a tiny village, indicating the low presence of humans.

A guard was stationed at the portal point and another was looking after the village; both of them appeared to be in Exalt realm. Other than them, Azzy couldn\'t sense anyone else. Perhaps, it is because of the nighttime.

At the same time, Azzy also discovered that there is only one portal point with teleportation formation here. Unlike in the lower region ones where a large region is divided into sections according to the country, here, there\'s no such facility.

Azzy doesn\'t need to ask him to figure out that this portal point wouldn\'t take him to Gaia. It will only take to the portal points within the same world.

Anyways, Azzy has nothing to do with it. He didn\'t think too much and calmly walked into the portal point, making the sleepy guard wake up in alert as Azzy didn\'t hide his soul realm to escape unnecessary questions from the guard.

As the guard hurriedly rush out of his cabin on the side and looked at Azzy, the latter dismissed the flying card and threw the three young men onto the ground. He then said, "I found these kids in the wild zone. Take care of them."

Azzy pretended to be an old expert of the legendary realm and the guard didn\'t question him either as a sign of respect. As he simply nodded in understanding, Azzy then asked, "Can I go to Emerald City through this?"

The guard answered, "Give me a moment, senior. I\'ll proceed with the activation."

"How much?" Azzy was prepared to take out a few fire crystals he mined from the cave as payment as he doesn\'t want to pay with the card to hide his movements but thankfully, the guard refused to take the money, "for everyone above rank-7, there are no transportation charges."

"Is that so? Good then…"

After a while, Azzy disappeared from the region and teleported to Emerald City. From there, he flew toward the location where the incident was supposed to happen.

Upon reaching the location, he observed the place from the top. There are clearly no signs of battle. However, there is a kissing couple nearby a lamp post.

"Are they Alder and the woman?" He wondered.

Azzy couldn\'t see their faces clearly from so high. So, he activated the "Eyes of God" soul skill and observed them as his vision became as clear during the day.

"Eh? It\'s that woman?" He recognized her in one glance. She\'s Maria, the principal\'s assistant.

Azzy couldn\'t help but remember a memory, in which, she was greeting Aaron with a look of cheerfulness on her face while she wasn\'t the same with him or the principal.

"Okay, this woman is involved, huh? Let\'s watch what happens…"

Azzy observed them from far away. At first, it was a little bit disturbing to secretly watch the couple making out but then as more than 30 minutes passed and they were still kissing, Azzy lost his interest and became immune to the scene. He only wanted to wait for the time to pass away.

It\'s past 3 .a.m. and they were still at it, making Azzy wonder whether the time of his message to WAMO (3:06 a.m.) is true or not. His concentration dwindled.

However, just as five more minutes passed away, Azzy finally saw them separated. Or rather, Alder pushed her away.

However, his face was now blue in color. With a shivering finger pointing at her, he was slowly falling onto his knees while breathing heavily.

Maria licked her lips and smiled, "You are a good kisser. I give you that but too bad you aren\'t smart as you look."

Instead of confronting her, Alder fell on his stomach and secretly took out something that looks like an envelope (message card) and it disappeared soon after.

Within no time, Alder lost consciousness and Maria\'s golden eyes turned back to normal brown eyes. As she crouched down to check his pulse, footsteps were heard from her behind.

Azzy shifted his attention to the person coming toward her. He clenched his fist, "I knew it. This guy is involved after all."

Aaron came to her and asked about Alder\'s status.

Maria answered with a nod as she got up and turned around, "He will be out for the next 12 hours. If I don\'t give him the antidote within that time, the venom will take his life. I hope it will be enough to extract his memories."

"It is enough, poison girl. But, to begin the extraction, we would have to get out of here with our lives first," replied Aaron before raising his head and removing his blindfold.

The rainbow eyes with seven rings over his irises were looking at Azzy, who was several hundred meters away in the sky. "We got company," added Aaron.

"Sh*t." Azzy realized that he messed up by forgetting to seal his soul orb.
