My Soul card is a Reaper

While it rose to its feet, Azzy saw Berith was getting transformed. His body became bigger, his fair skin turned into that of flesh, his head turned similar to that of a horse, a pair of horns grew from his forehead, and wings sprouted from his back with black feathers.

Flapping his wings, he flew into the air but stopped at 3 meters from the ground and looked down at Azzy, "since you drove me this far, then, you humans will pray the price…"

For some reason, Azzy wasn\'t afraid. Honestly, when compared to undead beasts and the appearance of the Grim Reaper, nothing in the world can be any more fearful.

Calmly staring at the demon with his Eyes of God, Azzy spoke, "I can see that you are burning your life force. As long as I defend myself, you will die by yourself. So, you will be the one to lose."

"hahaha… foolish human…" The demon bursts out into laughter, "I can make any number of avatars that I want. What if this body is killed? It\'s not like I lose anything. However, the seven deadly sins will always stay with your pathetic life forms. So, one day, another one will emerge to summon the demons. And you will not be alive to fight us."

"You demons only know how to bully weaker people. If you are so strong, why don\'t you go and fight those angels that kicked you out of heaven? Must be afraid of them without your leader." Azzy completely turned deaf ears to what the demon had said and mocked him once again. "Oh, speaking of your leader, I heard that he died under the hands of a mortal. Is that true?"

"You…" Berith roared in anger. Azzy said in the spur of the moment but even he was surprised by how sharp his tongue was.

Whatever the case, he got what he wanted.

Berith placed his entire focus on Azzy and flew toward him while clenching his fist.

The humanoid skeleton stood before Azzy like a shield.

Azzy hoped the undead to block the punch but the demon took him by surprise by passing through the skeleton like a ghost and reaching him.

*Bam*

Azzy raised his arms in defense but he couldn\'t block it. The bones in his wrist fractured and he flew in the air.

*pow* pow* pow*

Berith continued to punch him with both of his fists while he was in the air just like how Ramiel beat up the demon\'s clone, earlier. Through the Eyes of God, Azzy could clearly see his attacks but his speed happened to be way slower than Berith\'s. So, he couldn\'t dodge any of the attacks.

*Thud*

Azzy crashed onto the ground with broken ribs and fractured arms, spitting out a mouthful amount of blood.

"Kid, you were careless. I told you to stop underestimating him," scolded the Reaper. After a brief pause, he added, "I think it is in your best interest to use the cosmic gem, at least right now."

"Why the Protos energy didn\'t come out to save me?" asked Azzy in return while lying on the ground. He was feeling aches all over his body. This was probably the first time he was beaten up this badly in a direct battle.

"Well, you fused with Vajra and so, it is in your hands. Not to mention, you said that you don\'t need my help and wanted to handle it by yourself." The Reaper casually replied, making Azzy angry a little bit as he screamed in his head, "well, I only rejected your suggestion of taking over my body."

"Well, Protos energy is owned by you, not me. Unleashing it without your request is the same as going against your wishes." The Reaper gave a nonchalant reply once again as if he was in a sour mood.

"Why do you want to possess my body anyways? You can come out just like how you did it at our Garcia Palace." Azzy argued in return, not intending to back down.

The Reaper didn\'t give him the exact response and said, "You don\'t have the time to argue with me. Look at the front…"

"I know… Ugh…" Azzy inwardly groaned while looking at the demonic being who was walking toward him with a look of smug on his face. In his current form, the gravity suppression lost its effect on him.

"Okay, so, what do I do now? I don\'t think he would wait for me to take out the crown and put it on me. And I haven\'t linked my soul either."

"Well, it will only take a second to bond your soul. As for the demon, you do have a way to let him think that you disappeared, right?" The Reaper reminded him of the Buddhist skill.

Had the demon stopped underestimating Azzy, he would have gone for the kill. But, seeing Azzy\'s pathetic state by mere consecutive punches from him, Berith got conceited once again and decided to keep him alive while he massacres the rest of his allies before his eyes.

Of course, he wouldn\'t allow Azzy to use a healing card or any skill card for that matter.

However, he would never imagine that expect Azzy would plan on surprising him. And neither did Azzy expect someone else would surprise him.

As Berith grabbed Azzy\'s collar and raised him to his eye level to speak some cool shit once again, Azzy retracted all of the natural energy that formed as a defensive layer over him into his soul orb.

He disappeared right before the demon\'s eyes, turning into the size of a droplet of water and wiping off the smirk on the enemy\'s face.

"I can sense him nearby but I cannot him. Did he turn invisible?" wondered Berith.

The humanoid skeleton slowly walked toward him, momentarily gaining his attention.

Azzy wanted to use this opportunity to fly far away and equip the Jewel of Life.

But, before he made his move, all of a sudden, he sensed something familiar coming behind.

While landing on the ground, he turned around his head and saw a purple-colored beam of energy striking Berith\'s chest, making a hole in the middle.

"Plasma energy?"
