My Soul card is a Reaper

Before Cliff got the opportunity to launch all the four missiles and two unguided rockets onto the battlefield, the attack helicopter was caught by a giant Azzy before he poured Protos Energy into the vehicle through his palms.

As soon as the corrupted energy from the cosmos touched the tail of the helicopter, it spread all over the vehicle in an instant, turning everything but the living human into black powder.

It was a shocking scene for Cliff, Proctor, as well as the audience.

In the stands, a baldy old man in saffron-dyed robes was watching the battle just like others. His name is Alf, an elder at the Tower of Abel.

Ever since the Twilight team registered for the tournament, he somehow felt that they will be a force to reckon with.

And once he watched the first match, he somehow managed to figure out that it isn\'t a simple platinum grade sword but a sword imbued with divinity.

His interest in the team only grew.

As a result, he watched every single match of Twilight no matter who participated in it. Along the way, he developed an interest in Louis\' abilities and felt like he is extremely suited for the organization.

In the present day, just like every time, he came to Arena-B and started watching. Azzy\'s appearance took him by surprise but he was calm.

At first, his attention was on Claire. However, his face turned serious when Azzy started absorbing natural energy before turning into a giant.

And when Azzy used his Protos energy to destroy the helicopter and its missiles without even triggering an explosion, he could no longer sit still properly. In fact, he was actually sweating like crazy.

Very soon, the match was finished and he didn\'t waste any time leaving the Arena. Walking at a quickened pace, Alf was thinking about the match. "That cosmic energy is mightier than the divine energy and more sinister than the death energy. It is terrifying to see such a person have an affinity with natural energy. If that child doesn\'t receive proper guidance, he will bring nothing but destruction. Okay, just take a deep breath and calm down yourself." He took out a bracelet made of stone beads and wore it over his right wrist. The beads glowed for a while, calming his nerves instantly.

"Amitabha." He put it back into his storage card and continued to walk.

Meanwhile, back at Arena-B, members of Team Twilight were surrounded by the media personnel. Just like the last time when Azzy solved a homicide case and became popular all over the nation of Zuweth, he used a teleportation card and escaped from there, leaving those hungry journalists to his teammates.

Sometime later, he met them again at the hotel. The six of them (including his mother) looked like they were drained out of energy. Azzy could only laugh inside and apologize to them.

That afternoon, Izora threw a grand party for Team Twilight for she truly was happy for them. She was watching them closely for the past few months. She knew how they worked hard to reach this stage. In fact, she was confident that the group would make it to the top 8 somehow even if Azzy and Estella wouldn\'t help them.

After having a sumptuous meal, Azzy parted ways with his friends and returned to Arcana World.

One week passed away in a blink of an eye.

Azzy and Leah continued their winning streak and reached the finals of the first batch\'s Arena-6 without facing many troubles.

Maybe, it\'s because they are lucky, or maybe, WAMO had lent them a hand by sneakily giving them an easy route. Whatever the case, after the battle royal preliminaries, they didn\'t meet any rank-7 or a platinum grade user as an opponent, not that there are too many of such experts in number. Forget about rank-7, they didn\'t even get to battle a rank-6 Arcana Master who is at peak stage.

All of their opponents are in rank-6 of high and below stages, the same as them but the large difference between their Arcana made their battles easier. Adding on top of them, their team was even picked up byes a couple of times to make it to the next round without any fight.

Obviously, some people don\'t acknowledge them but in any case, their ages of 14 and 17 drew the attention of big shots. They sent their best subordinates to the Central City.

Apart from that, there\'s another good thing that happened to them. Maybe, it is a coincidence or an event that occurred because of their participation in the league.

The kingdom of Camelot signed a trade deal with Northern Qudour for the acquisition of 32 Rank-5, 8 Rank-6, and 1 Rank-7 Battle robots. It\'s a 10-billion credit deal.

If Northern Qudour claims to be 2nd in robotics and IT, no country can claim to be at number 1, although the main contributor to this was one woman, Dr. Mac, who created the Super Android Aria and the one that gave the adamantine gloves to Azzy back when he escaped from the onslaught of the ancestor of the light family.

After that incident, people started recognizing the potential of Battle Robots that can replace Arcana Masters. However, the influential people of various organizations have different opinions. They didn\'t have human tech in the first place. How could they like Robots?

As a result, they pressurized their own governments to not show interest in the battle robots and keep trust in Arcana Masters. Not to mention, there are high purchasing costs. So, no one came forward except for WAMO, which was already collaborating with the government, and the researchers over there are trying their best to reverse engineer them.

Several months passed since that incident and Camelot is the first one to show interest in them.

However, none of these things mattered to either Azzy or even Leah at the moment. It\'s because only one match left for Leah\'s dream to be achieved.

The winner of this match would be selected for the top-16 but the hurdle Azzy and Leah must cross is a lot tougher.

Calling themselves the Maestros of the Void, the freelancers Blair and Docia, who aren\'t tied to any organization or company, were the runner-ups of the last tournament.

Both of these traveling musicians are quite popular all over the world, not just for their music but also for their battle prowess. Of course, Exalt realm experts are respected everywhere in the world. As for legendary and the Supreme realm experts, they were usually positioned as leaders of top companies, academies, organizations, or guilds. They won\'t step out into the public unless it is necessary.

So, it\'s natural for the couple to be known by common citizens.

While people are thrilled about this match, because Azzy and Leah never fought opponents of such level, neither spectators nor the Proctor has an expectation of their win. What everyone was looking forward is how they would fare against veterans.

The day of the battle arrived.

Because the solo battles in other Arenas have a long way to go before a winner (top-16) will emerge and group battles are already over, the spectators flocked to Arena-4, 5, and 6 where only one duo category battle is left in each.
