My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 438 The Reaper's Offer To Vesyrn Garcia



The Reaper only greeted Azzy with just hello but the latter\'s parents found his voice so terrifying that Vesyrn closed his eyes immediately and Izora raised her arms to fight it. His voice reached so deeply into their soul.

Meanwhile, Azzy couldn\'t understand how the Reaper came out of the soul card when he was told that the deity of the time of death cannot do it. "How?" He asked.

The Reaper answered, "Well, I need to speak to your parents and it is too hassle to keep switching positions with your soul. Not to mention, there are no restrictions in this timeline."

"Oh, okay." Azzy didn\'t what he wanted to talk about but he was fine with his presence. Not to mention, this is a new experience for him.

The Reaper then looked at Izora and realized the matter in an instant. He removed the passive effect emitted from his voice and waved his skeleton hand, "Lady Crescent. Don\'t worry. I chose your son as my host. Hence, you are also my allies."

Not experiencing the fear in her soul any longer, she dropped down her guard and bowed to greet him. "Greetings, Lord Chronos. It\'s an honor that you chose our son."

The Reaper nodded and then raised his hand. A seal was formed quickly before it was unleashed into the surroundings, creating a spatial barrier formed over the room from all the sides like a sphere.

It was like the room was completely cut off from the pocket world and temporarily in a different dimension. The people from the outside can see them but they cannot listen to him or enter the room without the permission of the Reaper, although any legendary or higher realm Arcana Master can enter it forcefully.

Azzy and the other two realized that the Reaper was going to speak something important and they prepared their hearts to hear it.

The Reaper then put his attention on Vesyrn who was lying on the bed. He spoke, "Vesyrn Garcia, the descendant of the Death clan, I have a proposition to you. I would like to bless you with the Death energy that your ancestors once possessed, that your son currently was born with. In return, would you like to become the successor of the current guardian of the Death clan?"

Izora and Vesyrn didn\'t understand his words properly but they couldn\'t voice them out.

But, Azzy was too familiar with the Reaper and he enquired about the matter right away in place of his parents, "Chronos, what are you talking about? What guardian? And can you grant death energies as you wish even in such form? Then, what will happen to my dad\'s original Arcana."

The Reaper explained, "Unlike the other hidden clans, the Death clan always has two protectors. One is the clan leader, who is the symbol of authority. And the other is the guardian, who is the symbol of power.

The story of this goes as far as a hundred thousand years ago.

Your founder, Azrael Garcia was once offered the position of the Death legion by the God of Death, Thanatos.

The Death legion was an elite army that was created for the sole reason to capture the junior gods and other demigods that turn rogue.

Azrael was just a new demigod and yet, he dared to reject the offer. Thanatos was impressed by his daring act and put forth a proposal.

The rule is quite simple. Azrael can choose any veteran from the Death legion and survive their attacks for a mere ten minutes.

And guess what. He didn\'t just survive their attacks. Azrael defeated every single member of the death legion.

Being impressed by his talent, Thanatos granted him a wish.

Azrael didn\'t ask anything for himself. Instead, he made a deal with him.

According to one of their terms, as long as Thanatos exists, he will bestow the power of a demigod-level Reaper onto the guardian to punish the Supreme-realm Arcana Masters who had forgotten their duty to mankind and gone evil.

However, unlike the clan leader, no two guardians can be alive at the same time, and neither the guardian can resign his post.

The guardian of the Death clan will be free from his servitude only when he/she dies and a new one takes the position."

After explaining the story behind the existence of the guardian, the Reaper once again shifted his attention to Vesyrn, "Normally, the guardian has the right to choose his successor but if you accept this proposition, I can convince him to choose you.

I will provide you with the Death energy you needed. You will also awaken a new Arcana spirit and also can use your light element at the same time.

And of course, until the current guardian dies, you are free to do anything you would like to do."

"Anything? He can also contend for the clan leader?" Azzy couldn\'t help but ask it. After all, he never planned on becoming the clan heir yet. He wanted his father to take away his right position.

That\'s why he planned to challenge Velez and snatch the clan heir\'s position before admitting defeat to his dad to make him the heir so that he will succeed Qridus.

He never considered things like what would people think of such an act or what would his dad think of it. Whether Vesyrn would accept will be highly doubtful.

But now that Azzy found an opportunity to fulfill his plans without any issue, he wanted his dad to grab this chance and change his destiny.

And then, maybe, when the current guardian dies and his dad takes that position, Azzy might ascend to the throne to become the clan leader.

Father and son duo working together to protect the clan. What is better than this?

Azzy couldn\'t help but imagine the scenario as he enquired with the Reaper. Izora, who was still in shock, upon hearing that entire story, also became curious.

She heard about Velez from Azzy.

Izora was aware that Velez has death energy and knew of his fighting abilities as well.

Now that she realized that he is just a step away from the legendary realm, she wasn\'t sure whether her husband is any match for him.

But thankfully for the three of them, the Reaper gave a nod, "of course."

"Great…" Azzy clapped in excitement, although his poker face didn\'t match his actions. "Dad, you can accept it."

Obviously, the Reaper is like a god to every single person of the Death clan. Meeting him in person is already like a dream to Izora and Vesyrn. And now that the Reaper is giving them an opportunity, why wouldn\'t they trust his words?

Izora looked like she was going through multiple emotions. There\'s happiness, there\'s gratitude, there\'s shock, there\'s admiration, and there\'s also slight fear.

Meanwhile, Vesyrn looked like he was in a trace, wondering whether he was still in a dream. It hasn\'t even been that long since he woke up. Not only had he met his teenage son but also received a great offer.

"So, what do you say?" As the Reaper asked him again, Vesyrn responded with a nod.

"Good," The Reaper was satisfied with the reply and he told everyone that he is going to begin the process.

The Reaper raised his skeleton hand and pierced Vesyrn\'s chest without wounding him a bit.

"Okay, let\'s start."

The Reaper closed his eyes and the energy started to flow inside Vesyrn.

Meanwhile, in the throne hall of the palace;

Qridus was sitting on his throne with the other clan leaders, the current clan heir, and five of the seven pavilion masters gathered before him. The remaining two were in the middle of their missions. So, they weren\'t able to make it.

Anyway, no one cared about their absence as their minds were preoccupied with the shocking news Qridus gave them calmly as if it is a normal matter.

"Once Azrael was done with talking to his parents, they will be summoned here. Until then, no one is to disturb them, not even you, Kylan." Qridus specifically warned Kylan to not go upstairs as he knew how dearly the Patriarch of the Crescent clan loves his niece.

Of course, there\'s another person who was dying to meet Azzy and Izora. It is the master of the Violet Pavilion, Evelyn Crescent, Izora\'s cousin and eldest Kylan\'s daughter who had a good relationship with Azzy.

Recovering from the shock, Avia then came forward and asked, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask."

"Permission granted," Qridus told her to proceed with her question. Velez\'s face turned dark as he realized that it was Avia. He was informed beforehand and he was worried that he will be going to face injustice in the hall.

However, he stayed silent without intending to interrupt until the end as he wanted to see the reactions of the other clan leaders and pavilion masters.

Avia then spoke, "Not only did Young master Azrael return to the clan but even Master Vesyrn also opened his eyes.

Both of them are clan heirs who are actually dismissed from their positions without their knowledge. Master Vesyrn is someone who fulfilled the duties of the clan heir for several years without any issues, and Young Master Azrael is someone who was directly appointed by his majesty, believing that he is the reincarnation of the founder.

While Prince Velez has won the clan tournament and earned the position rightfully, it has only been a few months since he was serving his duties and his track record isn\'t as great as Master Vesyrn if I had to be honest.

So, not only me but even the others were wondering whether Prince Velez will continue to serve as the clan heir or will the position be shifted to one of those two?"
