My Soul card is a Reaper

"Team Merciless Executioners" "Team Twilight"

As the names being called, Azzy and his team exited the room and started to walk in the corridor that leads to the field.

However, just a few meters away from the exit, they saw a familiar girl standing against the wall. It looked as if she was waiting for someone.

Upon spotting them, she waved her hands with a smile and started to walk towards them.

Azzy\'s friends glanced at him while Claire who doesn\'t like her tried to keep her facial expression as calm as possible.

"Congratulations, Princess Leah." Gideon was the first to speak even when she was more than five meters away.

It forced everyone to follow the same except for Azzy who asked her instead, "did you do it?"

He knew about her plan to plant a tracking seal on Vann but wanted to confirm it from her own mouth.

Meanwhile, his teammates were taken aback by his weird question. Their confusion only increased when the smile on Leah became even bigger as she showed victory symbol.

After wishing them luck, she walked away, making the others look at Azzy curiously. "What she did do?" Gideon asked Azzy.

Azzy shrugged his shoulders, "not our problem. Anyway, let\'s go."

The team members didn\'t probe it much and proceeded to walk forward. They entered the field to see the opponent team had already arrived.

Azzy could feel several gazes locked onto him from all the sides. He glanced at the VIP section from the corner of his eyes.

He doesn\'t know why but he felt like something bad is going to happen when he first saw the Royal Ancestor\'s face on the screen while he was watching the earlier matches.

"As I told you before, they were like passing clouds. People like them will come and go into your life. Moreover, your parents are also watching…" The Reaper\'s reminder made him put aside his useless thoughts and shifted his concentration to his opponents, although he misunderstood that the Reaper is referring to Oakley and Snieca.

Meanwhile, at team Merciless Executioners, Dove, a high-rank-5 magician commented, "it looks like our opponents trained a bit. All of them are now in the five-star realm."

The prince of Ugrea shrugged his shoulders, "it doesn\'t matter. All of them are only at the beginner stage. We only need to focus on that regeneration girl who was out of our calculations. The rest are just…"

"I told you not underestimate our opponents, Arthur." Captain Alan interrupted him and stared at Azzy who arrived on the field with his teammates. "That guy\'s soul energy absorption technique is still a threat to us. On top of that, he never had shown his second Arcana spirit. We don\'t know the full extent of his necromancer abilities. So, until he was down, we cannot be careless even for a single moment."

The others also nodded in agreement. Even though they were forced by their instructor to use the trump card, as far as they have seen, they couldn\'t judge Azzy\'s full strength. They could only estimate his physical strength is in the mid-rank-6 realm.

"I hope this plan works," Dove mumbled to herself while looking at a fellow support class Arcana master in worry. "Or else, along with Webster, we will all be in danger."

***

After team twilight gets into the position, the Proctor threw the activated barrier skill card and then, a random habitat card.

The field turned into simple plain mud terrain.

Azzy could hear nothing even though the spectators were cheering wildly. He realized that the barrier also isolated the sound from the outside to make sure the participants have full concentration.

At the same time, he could also feel the softness of the mud below his feet. He tested it by moving his leg forward and pressed it down with force. His right leg was quickly sunk up to his knees.

His teammates also witnessed it and understood the habitat.

Meanwhile, at the opponent\'s side, Captain Alan had a serious look on his face. "Everyone, don\'t hesitate to go all out. No matter what, we have to grab the trophy even if it means killing them. The upper management wouldn\'t want failure when facing such an opponent from a mediocre academy. Understand?"

His teammates nodded seriously.

As soon as the whistle was blown, everyone from twilight summoned their Arcana. However, the opponent team members on the other hand spread around in five different directions, forming a pentagon.

They took out skill cards and activated them at the same time. <strong>"Skill card: Descent of the Hydra."</strong>

The five skill cards shone at the same time, unleashing a beam of light towards the center of their formation.

Soon, a seal with mystical runes appeared on the ground before a giant beast rose from it with five snakeheads.

Azzy was taken aback to see a Gold grade hydra appeared in flesh by skill cards. Moreover, it appeared to be in the six-star realm.

With everyone\'s soul power almost reached fell zero, all of them took out recovery cards to replenish their soul energy.

Just like thousands of spectators, he too doesn\'t know that a creature can be created like this way.

Even Gideon, Claire, and Snivy looked like they were confused.

Just when the Reaper was about to explain it to him, Mia opened her mouth, "My dad told me about this. Using multiple numbers of people sharing their soul power, they can summon a wild beast from Arcana world. However, it too had the risks…"

Without her even explaining the whole thing, everyone got the inkling of what it might be.

A thread of energy released from the seal and connected the five-headed Hydra and Webster.

"Their souls are connected. If we kill Hydra, that person will also die." Mia finished her sentence in a serious tone. "It looks like the Dragon Academy is putting everything on this battle."

Azzy glanced at the opponents. The aura of death was still on the girl named Dove, the magician.

Mia\'s explanation doesn\'t match with what he was seeing. With the barrier that doesn\'t allow a finalist to get outside until the match ends, Azzy realized that his plan of throwing her out is now difficult. So, the only option left for him is to knock her out.

Just then, Claire told her best friend, "My sword has the power to through the energies as long as it doesn\'t exceed gold grade. I guess I can try to disconnect their connection and send it back."

In response, Mia shook her head, "No, there are five people that summoned it. You have to cut them down five times. I don\'t think would give you such a chance."

"Cutting the energy?" Azzy was stunned for a second as heard Claire. "Now, everything fits…"

"Claire, Can you hold down Alan?" Looking at it, Azzy suddenly spoke to Claire after three days of avoiding her. "Vajra will support you."

"Huh!" Claire was taken aback at first but then, as she saw the beast, she realized Azzy was probably aiming for it. She asked, "Do you have a plan?"

"Leave the magician, Hydra, and its holder for me. You will go after their captain while my Vajra will hold down his beast. Gideon will go after her original target, Mia and Snivy will support each other to face the dragon and the prince.
