My Soul card is a Reaper-Chapter 53 Azzy Battles A Rank-6 Assassin

"Woah…" An exclamation escaped from his lips as he was suddenly attacked from behind.

He dodged at a perfect time, although it's just his reflexes that let his body acted before his mind.

"So, kid… I'm going to ask you again. Will you come with me quietly or should I drag you back with me? If you co-operate, I swear that nothing harm will be done." The assassin said to him.

"You want me to come with you? Why?" Azzy asked in return.

"That doesn't concern you." The assassin replied in a flat tone before taking out his dagger, this time.

"The matter doesn't concern me yet, you want me to come with you… Why?" Azzy once again asked, wondering whether it was connected with the missing family.

Not to mention, he didn't sense any malicious intent from this guy. So, he was confident that the assassin won't attempt to kill him.

At most, he'll injure him heavily and then heal with a healing card. That's why he tried to talk things out.

But, very soon, Azzy found out how na?ve his thinking is… 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶

"You talk too much kid…" The assassin dashed towards Azzy one more time.

Azzy once again dodged from the attack. He didn't pull out his weapon yet, trying to gauge his opponent's speed. Previously, it was the Reaper who controlled his body, so, he wants to keep up with the speed.

In the meantime, Azzy also tried to use Aura Sensing again. This time, he was able to see his outline, although not his rank.

However, he was sure of one thing. This guy is weaker than the Galarian King, at least according to the aura intensity but then again, humans don't battle in a simple way like the beasts, trying to overpower everything with strength.

"So, just because you manage to get away this far, do you think your speed is superior to mine?" The assassin got irritated with this speed game again and became serious.

<strong>"Soul skill: Shadow steps."</strong>

Azzy saw him suddenly disappear from his sight and in the next second, his dagger was almost behind his left shoulder, trying to pierce it.

His extraordinary reflexes kicked in again and Azzy dashed to the front and dodged the attack. With a thought in mind, he summoned the soul card.

The black wolf jumped right out of it.

"Grr…" It growled as it glared at the enemy.

The assassin was taken aback, "my Ogrus is shivering in fear… It's a platinum-grade beast… What a lucky day…"

Instead of getting intimated like others, he was excited instead.

<strong>"Soul skill: Cloning."</strong>

He burned another 200 thousand soul power and summoned two beginner-rank-5 clones.

His first soul skill is still in effect. So, the two clones were able to use the same skill.

The two clones dashed towards Azzy while he went after the wolf.

Azzy was worried about fighting a rank-6 directly but not a beginner-rank-5. He suddenly remembered his basic lessons with Evelyn back at Violet Pavilion. "I guess the opportunity is here…"

He then redirected the soul energy to all of his body. As his body was empowered by the soul energy, he burned half of the soul power but Azzy didn't worry about it.

The both of them coordinated with each other with one attack from the front and the other tried to slash from 8 o'clock.

To their surprise, he suddenly ducked and swept his right leg to kick the first clone's legs and then, gave an elbow strike to the second clone's stomach.

And then, he stood up and kicked in the stomach of the first clone, which lost its balance and fell on the ground earlier due to his leg sweep.

As it flew a couple of meters, Azzy grabbed the second clone's collar and threw it over the shoulder, slamming on to the ground.

Clenching his fist tightly, he redirected the energy from various parts into the right finger and gave a solid punch in the stomach of the fallen second clone.

When he punched its stomach, the soul energy inside his fist erupted out thereby hitting the target.

It suddenly disappears along. Meanwhile, the first clone that was kicked away stands up slowly.

It dashed towards Azzy with its dagger, not intending to give up.

Looking at the clone, Azzy whose soul energy was consumed in the earlier attack uses the remaining soul energy in the soul orb, and this time, he pours almost all of it into legs while keeping enough soul energy worth a couple of thousand soul power.

It was done so that his Vajra can constantly consume it to stay outside with full strength or else it will only grow weaker by each second.

As the clone dashed towards him, Azzy pushes one of his legs against the ground and dashed forward, going against it, head-on.

Both of them neared each other. The assassin's clone slashes its dagger towards his chest, which Azzy blocks its arm with his left arm and then, redirects his soul energy towards his right fist once again before giving an uppercut to its chin.

As soon as the punch landed, the clone disappeared like air.

"Phew…" Azzy sighed in relief for defeating them easily without revealing his hidden Arcana. "These are indeed useful. I guess I need to learn advanced forms, later."

Back when he was in Violet Pavilion, Evelyn indeed taught him various martial arts techniques like boxing, taekwondo, jujitsu, judo, and karate but he was only taught very basic level techniques.

After teaching him the techniques, even though he mastered them, Evelyn stopped teaching him further and said he can only learn them after getting into advanced studies.

Even now, he didn't know the reason why. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

Meanwhile, there's an intense battle going on between the black wolf and the assassin.

It has several cuts all over its body. One look at it, anyone can see that it was having a tough battle.

On the other hand, the assassin wasn't having easily either. He has wolf bite marks on his right thigh and left arm, and scratches on his chest. He was also bleeding.

He was concentrated on this beast which is two ranks lower than him, so much that he didn't even notice the defeat of his clones.

As for the wolf, it was also in a kind of dilemma.

When Azzy's body is brimming with soul energy, the wolf didn't use soul skills but now, when it wants to unleash its soul skill to have an edge over him, the soul energy within Azzy's body was diminished to the extent that it can't afford to use it now.

Because it was soundly defeated by the Robot, it became fiercer with the assassin, who also belongs to the same rank as that bullying machine.

<strong>"Soul skill: Multiple Dagger Toss"</strong>

Burning another five hundred thousand soul power, he threw the dagger towards the wolf.

In the midway, it suddenly replicated itself into five daggers.

Because of the short distance and feeling pain in its injured legs, the wolf wasn't able to dodge them. So, it gritted its teeth and thought of facing them head-on.

"haha…" The Assassin has a wide smile on his face. He felt like he's going to kill it.

Just right then, something flew like a flash and knocked off the daggers while spinning around vertically.

"Death scythe?" The assassin saw it and was taken aback. As he turned his head, he saw it returned to Azzy's hand.
