My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 478 The Guardian God's Plans For Leah



Azzy wasn\'t asked to give any explanation about his actions or powers. Instead, the top brass rewarded him with 25 whole merit points, taking him by surprise.

As for how great those 25 merit points are, in case a normal member of one of the combat divisions would receive them, then, he could be promoted all the way to colonel, and even left with 4 merit points.

(Combat divisions: Commander/General > Lt. Commander > Colonel > Lt. Colonel > Captain > First lieutenant > private > cadet)

During the past ten or so days, Azzy had completed more than four missions of 7-star, and two missions of 8-star difficulty. The star corresponds to the level of difficulty that can be handled by an average Arcana Master of the same realm.

Even then, so far, he only got 5 merit points. And now, all of a sudden, he was awarded such a high amount for going against the demon, which even Cornelius couldn\'t deal with.

After using 4 merit points so far on using the restricted access for information regarding high-profile criminals and targets, Azzy only had 1 merit point left and he wanted six more merit points to access the highest-level restricted section. But, now, that problem is solved and he was in high clouds.

Azzy didn\'t even wait for a second to waste and went directly to the Information center after leaving the President\'s office.

On the same day, around the time of noon;

Inside the Gravity Dome (Royal Training ground), Camelot;

*Clang* Clang* Clang* Clang*

Leah Pendragon was sparring against her aunt (Princess Cynthia Pendragon) while wearing atleast more than 500 kilograms of weight.

One shouldn\'t forget that the gravitational force in this area is about 20 times that of the planet.

And even in such a scenario, Leah was dominating her opponent in a sword fight, and that too, without taking the help of her Arcana.

Cynthia gave her all for twenty minutes straight before accepting the defeat and ending the spar.

Panting heavily, she lies on the floor and put her gaze on the ceiling of the cave, "You became too strong, Leah. I don\'t think I can serve you as your sparring partner, anymore."

Leah sat beside her and said, "C\'mon, Aunt. You were doing great. See, you can last for more than 20 minutes in our fight."

"And is that supposed to encourage me?" Cynthia was irked by her fake consolation words.

As Leah apologized, Cynthia let out a sigh for the second time, "If you want to get stronger, you should spar with someone who lives in the same world as you. Geniuses won\'t cut it. You need those heavenly-defying monsters like yourself."

Leah instantly remembered Azzy\'s face and she became silent. The last time they fought, she had her confidence broken.

People often say that she is the favorite child of heaven as she was blessed with extraordinary talent, looks, and background.

But, when she thinks of Azzy, it makes her wonder whether she really deserved that title.

In the end, she too lets out a sigh and lies beside her aunt, "I have someone I want to beat. But, I don\'t think I could do that in my present state."

"I agree, Ms. Pendragon…"

Suddenly, an unfamiliar manly voice was heard in the surroundings, startling both the ladies. They instantly got up and looked around warily.

"Who is there?" asked Leah.

A reply came right away, "Not an enemy. So, you can relax."

"If you are not an enemy, then, why don\'t you show yourself?" Cynthia asked while her eyes wandered all over the place. She also tried to sense someone\'s presence in case they were invisible but she felt nothing. Even their two guardians (gargoyle statues) outside the training ground didn\'t come alive.

Either the enemy was too strong or has a peculiar ability to evade the presence of any Supreme realm expert. Both of them thought the same.

In response to Princess Cynthia\'s question, a chuckle was heard in the surroundings, "well, let\'s just say that neither of you is qualified to meet me, yet…"

Followed by a single-sentence explanation, a blue portal appeared nearby them. Then, the voice said, "Ms. Pendragon, in the past, you have participated in a trial. It is just the same too, except the difficulty will be hella stronger. My proposition will be depending on how far you will go."

"What if I refuse?" Leah didn\'t know who it was and she wasn\'t willing to walk into a trap just because of curiosity. At the same time, she also wanted to figure out the real intentions of this mysterious expert.

This time, the response wasn\'t a chuckle but chains suddenly shooting out from the portal and catching Cynthia at breakneck speed.

"Aunt…" Leah shouted in panic as Princess Cynthia was unwillingly dragged into the portal.

The voice then said in a threatening tone, "Well, I\'m exactly giving you a choice, Ms. Pendragon. If you want to save her, then, go and save her by yourself. By the way, she is on the fifth level. You have ten seconds to make a decision before losing her forever."

Leah\'s expression hardened, "bastard…"

Having no other choice, she rushed into the portal. The voice then spoke to no one specifically, "She is a clever girl and will probably figure out why I am doing this. Since she isn\'t a stubborn person, I can expect good news but the problem is Chronos\' successor. He has four days to make the decision but still, I need to do something to make him my disciple.

Ugh… I\'m the guardian of the entire mortal realm consisting of millions of planets. And yet, I have to make personal trips and put effort to have those two brats accept me as their master… What a pathetic life you are living, Wil…"

Three days later, at a public graveyard in Aclein City, Northern Qudour;

It was around dawn and the streets were quite empty because of the low temperatures and fog.

In front of a certain grave, Azzy was standing motionlessly for nearly 15 minutes, going down memory lane.

After a while, he let out a deep sigh and kowtowed, "Master, you have done so much to me. Perhaps, after Grandpa Oakley, you are the one who looked after me the most. You have sacrificed 1000 years\' worth of life force by using the genie, all so that I get enough time to escape from the enemy.

You sold your 250 years of legacy, the Aclein academy, gave away the genie, to acquire the Jewel of Life and give it to me, hoping that I would be able to protect myself in danger.

And because of that, you and Vice Principal Sahara lost your lives.

As a master, you did everything you could for me, but as your disciple, I didn\'t do anything for you.

Even now, I failed to make any significant progress to find out the identity of the culprit who killed you.

But, don\'t worry. Once my parents were out of their training and my father becomes the heir of the clan, I will seek his help to find out the culprit.

If everything fails, I will go back in time and do something about it."

"Kid, you forgot about me." A voice entered his ears as if someone spoke to him while standing right beside him.

Azzy was startled for a second but he quickly calmed down as the figure materialized and walked out of the fog. "It\'s you…"

"I can help you out…" The guardian god let out a smile.
