My Soul card is a Reaper-Chapter 454 Ghost Puppet Creation
Azzy could have evaded getting injured by releasing the chains of lightning but he didn't do it, not wanting to let the enemy escape. Not to mention, he has confidence in his Tier-8 Divine physique which is powered by soul energy and natural energy, which is almost as good as the physique of a Supreme realm expert.
As a result, Azzy's body was heavily slammed onto the ground and he felt vibrations all over his body but thankfully, no injuries occurred except for a few bruises on his skin and face.
Looking at the fallen Azzy, Elys let out a smirk as he removed the bracelet on his wrist, "you have really made a foolish move. Now, I will let you realize it."
As the undead skeleton dashed forward, Elys closed his eyes for a moment and poured his divine energy into the golden tentacles.
In an instant, the divine energy passed through the chains of black lightning, surprisingly overpowering the Protos energy running through the chains before making its way toward Azzy.
At the same time, another divine energy shield was formed over him on top of a soul energy barrier. Unlike the earlier barrier, this one completely blocked the black rain without being damaged in the least.
The undead skeleton reached its target and threw down a powerful punch. It landed on the divine barrier and a crack appeared before it repaired itself to become anew.
Meanwhile, Azzy continued to lie on the ground. He was seen closing his eyes as it was his body's turn to be invaded by a foreign energy. The Reaper released the Protos energy from the gem on Azzy's forehead and used it to destroy the harmful divine energy.
Seeing that Azzy was fighting against his powerful divine energy, the Supreme realm expert's expression drastically changed. His smirk was wiped off and his face was darkened, "This devil spawn keeps surprising me over and over again."
After a brief moment, he calmed himself with positive thoughts, "But, no matter. The divine energy was presented to me directly by the Goddess Gaia herself in exchange for my help to her avatar.
It is far more powerful than those divine beings, subordinates of the Goddess of the Light (Thea). Let's see how long he will struggle.
His soul energy was almost consumed and my divine energy will not let him recover it either. So, this is nothing but a useless… Ugh…"
All of a sudden, the tip of a black-colored blade came out of his chest and his body slowly started to turn into stone. As he turned his head to look behind him with a look of shock on his face, the rest of its form materialized. It looked like a knight's spear but is completely black in color.
As for the doubled layered barrier of divine energy and his own soul energy, they couldn't stop this spear. Rather than being unable to stop it, it looked as if the Spear passed through them.
Yes, it is the Death Spear, although it usually doesn't have the power to pass through the barriers.
It wasn't the only thing that was strange.
There was no figure seen around either. Only the Spear was there, piercing him from behind. He hurriedly withdrew all of the divine energy from the barrier, back into his body to defend himself.
The black rain started to damage his soul energy barrier and the undead skeleton took this opportunity to deal a powerful blow.
At the same time, Azzy, who was lying motionlessly on the ground, let out a mumble, "Soul skill: Soul Absorption"
Everything happened in a moment.
The barrier was shattered by the skeleton's punch and Elys blasted away for more than a hundred meters, crashing onto the ground.
Azzy's chains of lightning continued to stretch and made sure to stay connected with the golden tentacles while a tremendous amount of soul energy started leaving the old man, throwing him into a shock once again for a moment before he flapped his wings to fly away.
"Azrael, you cannot beat him without the hourglass." The Reaper suddenly suggested to Azzy that he needed to use the hourglass' soul skills before the old man gained enough distance.
"Hmm? Aren't I an advantage?" asked Azzy while continuing to lie down on the ground. He was actually concentrating on the invisible ghost puppet that is rushing forward alongside the undead skeleton to attack the enemy. It was also through the same method that he ambushed the Supreme realm expert.
The Reaper, on the other hand, wasn't that positive. He explained by starting with indirectly praising the enemy, "If it was someone else, by now, he would have died or ended up gravely injured. But, a veteran like Walchelium Elys managed to deal with it.
He first used the divine energy from the barrier to nullify the effects of the Death Spear.
Then, he used the power of the undead skeleton to get out of the black rain's range and also get far away from you without abandoning on trying to invade your soul orb with the divine energy through those golden tentacles.
While the Soul absorption did take away a chunk of his soul energy and recovered yours to full, it didn't harm him much due to the difference of your realms.
To best him in battle, you need to stop the time at a perfect moment and then put him in a time loop. By the time he figured out how to escape it, use the Death scythe's "Soul Severing" and kill him in one swoop."
"Eh? But, he is a Supreme Being. Killing him would be a tremendous loss to the human race," replied Azzy, not in favor of killing the opponent. If Elys would have heard what Azzy was thinking, he would have coughed out blood in anger. An Exalt realm expert was dreaming of killing a Supreme realm expert, who was blessed by Gaia.
"He is only using your mistake as an excuse to kill you. In reality, he just hates the necromancers like the other members of the Church of Light. He's dangerous, Azrael." The Reaper doesn't sense the evilness of the enemy. Hence, he can only try to convince Azzy in another way. 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎
He further said, "As for his 9-star realm status, did you forget why you have killed Barbara's master? People like these who give unreasonable justifications to commit murder don't deserve any mercy."
Azzy of the past might have been convinced by such a simple statement, but after eradicating so many enemies who came after his life, he made up his mind to kill the enemy. ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m
He summoned the Hourglass in his hand.
Just as he was about to unleash the soul skill and follow the Reaper's strategy, all of a sudden, the space was frozen in the surroundings along with everyone inside it (Azzy, Elys, the undead skeleton, and the ghost puppet).
"What the hell is going on?" Azzy felt genuinely panicked for the first time as he felt like all of his body parts were paralyzed. Except for his eyes, he couldn't move anything else.
"The Ultimate Law of Space. Apart from Space itself, only one person can use it." The Reaper's words echoed through his head.
This time, even the Deity of Time and Death appeared to be taken aback by the event that he hadn't foreseen.
"Ultimate law?" As Azzy wondered what that means, a handsome young man wearing a modern suit descended from the sky while shaking his head in pity.
Elys trembled at the sight of the young man who landed just a couple of feet away from his body.
