My Soul card is a Reaper-Chapter 289 Battle With Ragron Part-2

The "Thousand hands Bodhisattva" is said to be the ultimate technique of Buddhism where the user would be able to use all of the thousand hands to contend against an opponent who is even two realms above.

But, it has its own difficulties. One is that it's extremely tough to master it. The knowledge can be acquired from the Reaper but mastering can only be acquired by practice. Without mastery, Azzy cannot use it to its full potential.

And the other difficulty is that the technique is time-limited. Even the one who mastered it cannot maintain this state for a very long time.

Azzy knew that very well but he couldn't help it when he can't reveal his Arcana or even soul energy and on the other hand, the opponent is someone like Ragron. So, he needed to go all out.

After activating the technique, Azzy didn't waste any time and attacked Ragron by pushing forth his palm.

In the next second, about five hands of the giant figure shot towards their target like projectiles.

As promised earlier with big words, Ragron didn't move from the spot and faced the attack, head-on.

Ragron quickly used soul energy and pushed out his palm too. A giant triangular shield was formed before him. As he suppressed his power, the aura that the scarlet shield was emitting is at the border between rank-5 and rank-6.

*Bam*

A huge sound produced by the collision of the giant translucent hand formed by natural energy and the shield formed by soul energy.

The attack didn't make it through but the shield vibrated for a fraction of a second before another attack was landed and cracked the shield.

The third attack shattered the shield and the following two attacks successively landed on Ragron's chest simultaneously.

Everyone just gaped in silence as they saw the mighty legendary realm expert was seen blasted away.

Deciding to take it as an advantage, Azzy kicked the ground and rushed forward before launching another palm attack. Once again, five of the Bodhisattva's hands were shot towards Ragron who was still in mid-air.

But, Ragron isn't a simple Arcana Master either. He was experienced enough to not only twist his body in mid-air but also create an energy sword made of soul energy, then, adding his fire attribute, turning it into a flaming sword before slashing at the incoming projectiles.

He effectively destroyed the five of them as he landed on the ground. In exchange, the flaming sword was also disappeared. f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

Azzy didn't give up and launched the projectiles for the third time. Standing about twenty meters far away, Ragron had enough time to create another flaming sword and cut them down with rapid slashes. Even Azzy could only count 36 strikes when he concentrated on it.

The giant figure disappeared as time is up and all the natural energy stored in his body was also consumed.

Azzy once again started to absorb the natural energy from the surroundings. This time, he only powered up his fists and legs as he charged forward at his maximum speed.

Ragron furrowed his brows, "this speed. Is he really at an intermediate stage of Elite realm?"

Azzy's current speed was comparable to that of a rank-7 Arcana Master.

Within a couple of seconds, Azzy covered the distance and threw a fist at Ragron's abdomen.

The latter caught Azzy's arms just before it hits him and grabbed them tightly, "kid, you are indeed a top-level genius but if you think you can underestimate an Arcana Master who is in Legendary realm just because he isn't serious, then, you are wrong."

Azzy didn't try to free himself. Instead, he opened up his fist and said, "You are the one that is underestimating me, King Ragron."

All of a sudden, the natural energy around his body surged towards his palms.

Ragron sensed it but thought Azzy would try to free himself with force. So, he grabbed even tighter. It was so tight that Azzy's veins started to pop up.

But, in the next second, his facial expression changed as Azzy released all the natural energy in the form of a beam from both of his palms, effectively hitting him in the chest this time.

Ragron blasted away for a few meters once again and crashed onto the ground.

He stood on his feet and dusted his robes before spitting a mouthful of blood. Ragron's face turned extremely serious.

Meanwhile, Azzy stayed on the spot. He didn't rush forward but rapidly absorb the natural energy for nearly thirty seconds and look at his opponent.

"King Ragron, this is my strongest attack. See if you can block it again." Azzy said to him while pouring all of the natural energy into the right palm.

He run forward a bit and then, kicked the ground to jump high.

Azzy easily reached 100 meters above the ground and while he was coming down, he motioned the palm towards Ragron, releasing a 10 meters giant palm made of natural energy.

The attack made everyone's heart skip for a second as they felt the power of Exalt realm in it.

Ragron conjured the giant triangular shield, a couple of meters above his head.

The divine palm collided with the shield and instantly destroyed it. Its movement isn't halted and continued its way to press down onto Ragron's head.

Ragron could evade it easily if he wants but at the moment, not even 2-minutes have passed and he promised that he will give Azzy, a five minutes head start. 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦

Abiding by the promise, he hurriedly poured soul energy into his body, powering up his defense. He used bare hands to stop it.

But, the Divine Palm doesn't seem like it was going to be stopped by his efforts.

He was getting pushed down. Ragron's knees were bent, feeling the enormous pressure the divine palm is emitting.

Just as his knees were about to hit the ground, he gritted his teeth, and roared, "Oraaaa…"

A sea of flames escaped his body and pushed towards the Palm, not only stopping it but also completely destroying it in just five seconds of time.

As Ragron saved his image by not kneeling on the ground, Azzy quietly stared at him from the distance. "You lost, King Ragron."

"Hmm? What do you mean by that?" Ragron asked in return before realizing that he used the power of the legendary realm earlier, thereby breaking the rules of this spar. He let out a sigh, "Yeah, I lost. And yes, it looked like I underestimated you, Azrael."

Ragron once again proved himself to be a man of character. Not only did he admit defeat, he even praised Azzy with a smile, "It's very rare to see a kid of your caliber. It's foolish to make enemies with people like you and a wise man would rather extend the friendship. The Palace of Rivendell is always open to you. If you need any help in the future, you can ask for my help. Here…"

Ragron handed him a ruby ring that he was wearing, and further said, "Show this to anyone who dares to stop you from meeting me, if such day comes."

Azzy took a closer look at it and asked the Reaper, just in case. The Reaper said it was fine. So, Azzy nodded and kept it. In fact, he wanted to reject the present but it would only make him the bad guy instead. Moreover, a few of his clan members are also watching. He thought it's better to back down when it is necessary.

Azzy no longer stayed there and returned to Affea's side where Estella was also standing along with her mother.

She smiled widely as she welcomed him, "Rael… that was some great performance. That one where you blasted him away, it was the same one you used it on my Levi, right?"

As Azzy confirmed her suspicion with a nod, Scarlet said to him, "Azrael, participate in the world league. If you are going to participate, you have a high chance to win it."

Estella nodded in agreement and added a comment, "The preliminaries for all categories soon will start. If we participate as a duo, with four platinum grade Arcana, we can destroy the enemies on the battlefield."

Azzy stayed silent and didn't comment on her indirect proposal of teaming up. At the same time, he was extremely uncomfortable with this changed behavior. He felt as if someone is scratching an iron with a coin.

Meanwhile, Ragron was glancing at Azzy from the corner of his eyes as he passed by. "It's just like that Vogio kid mentioned. This kid is indeed a threat to my son. If left alive, once he grew up, perhaps, even I would regret it in the future. But, I can't make any move here. I guess I need to wait for the right moment."
