My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 282 The Black Lotus Arcana



Under the guidance of the Reaper, not even a strand of energy of the core was absorbed by Azzy\'s soul orb and slowly turned into Arcana.

However, it didn\'t end there. The black lightning wolf stood up on its four legs.

While the spirit was about to take its shape, a beam of black energy shot from the forehead of Vajra, or more specifically, the black diamond seal.

Three hours later, a black lotus was successfully formed. Its size didn\'t change but strangely, the petals aren\'t crystalline and there was no humanoid figure below it. The Arcana was simply, a fully matured lotus flower, although in the size of an average adult.

"Puyi?" The lotus floated in the air and spun itself clockwise and then counterclockwise before it landed in front of the black wolf.

"Puyi" "Puyi"

It greeted the wolf. Just like with the weapons and some plant Arcana, No one knows where its mouth is but it\'s a platinum grade beast. So, it can transmit its voice through human speech through all of its petals.

Of course, it was a baby and didn\'t know the human speech. So, it was trying to converse with the other housemate that it sees.

However, the black wolf doesn\'t like to communicate with the new housemate and ignored it.

While Vajra had to become the Reaper\'s prisoner, this new one, which is far weaker than itself get a separate abode on its own.

The black wolf raised its head to look at the sky where a floating island was about to form. Vajra lies down once again and closed its eyes.

"Puyi?" The lotus jumped left and right, wondering what\'s wrong with the black wolf.

"Puyi" "Puyi" "Puyi"

It once again tried to talk to the wolf but the latter ignored the lotus.

"Puyi..." Its petals bent as the black lotus crestfallen due to the rejection.

It no longer paid attention to the wolf and looked curiously at the front. Far away, there\'s a simple grave but the flower was scared to go there and flew to the opposite side.

It reached the edge of the cliff and found dozens of skeletal beasts, some are roaming, and the others are resting.

"Puyiiiii"

Its black petals once again rose in excitement as the black lotus took a leap from the edge of the cliff. Vajra opened its eyes and glanced in the direction the black lotus disappeared before closing its eyes once again.

However, just a few seconds later, screams from the barren land disturbed its sleep.

"Puyi" "Puyi" "Puyi" "Puyiii"

Vajra was irritated and forced to go to the edge of the cliff to see the black lotus was screaming for help as it was being chased by the skeletal snow wolf, the self-proclaimed boss of the barren territory. Of course, the Four-headed skeletal hydra wouldn\'t agree to it.

In the eyes of the snow wolf, the territory belongs to the undead beasts and the black lotus doesn\'t have any right to step in. And considering its high grade, the snow wolf felt threatened and started fighting with it.

However, the black lotus is cowardly in nature even with Protos energy. It started to run away from the giant skeletal wolf and the latter chased after it, feeling that this intruder is challenging to catch it.

"Grrr..."

Growling to itself, the black wolf let out a powerful bark.

*Woof*

Everyone came to halt with a single bark. The snow wolf stopped chasing and every skeletal beast bowed their heads to its King. The Reaper might be the absolute ruler of the mindscape but they never saw him until now.

As everyone appeared to be revering their ruler, the black lotus let out a bright cheer.

Vajra was irritated by its bright personality, even more. It took a leap towards the endless barren territory and landed in front of the flower before grabbing it with one of its paws.

"Puyi?" The black lotus wondered what it is before it let out a scream again as the wolf dragged it back to the top of the cliff and then, took another jump, throwing it towards the floating island.

"Puyiiii" The black lotus was shot towards the floating island like a cannonball and crashed on it.

"Puuyi" "Puuyi"

The black lotus flower complained to itself that the wolf was a bad guy before its attention fell on the surroundings.

Strangely, the place was quite beautiful, quite in contrast with the land below. There\'s a pond in the middle, a few trees around, a tiny hill surrounded by clouds. Overall, the atmosphere was so life-like.

"Puyiii."

The black lotus took a dive into the pond in excitement. It started to float, being very comfortable with its abode.

Meanwhile, in the outside world, Azzy was sitting in a bus along with his classmates as it was returning to the academy.

Claire was sitting at the window seat, staring outside while continuing to ignore him.

"Um, Claire?" Azzy slowly opened his mouth in nervousness as he grabbed her arm.

She didn\'t respond and continued to sulk.

"The thing about Ruby-Blossom..." he slowly opened the topic but quickly shut his mouth as she abruptly turned her head and glared at him, "I told you to not talk about it."

Everyone on the bus glanced at the couple sitting at the back.

"But, it\'s really not my fault." Azzy defended himself. "My Arcana spirit acted without my will."

She started to lightly beat his left shoulder, "aren\'t you already too strong? Didn\'t you already have two Arcana spirits? How much stronger do you want to get?"

Claire doesn\'t want to argue with her boyfriend at all. But, she was already frustrated that she\'s far behind Azzy. She realized it when Azzy beat up Estella with ease while she couldn\'t do it with all her strength.

Now that Azzy acquired a platinum-grade Arcana spirit, the strength between them only increased. It really hit her confidence.

"C\'mon, it\'s not like my strength has been boosted just because of the Ruby-Blossom. I gained nothing. " Azzy responded with a fact while feeling injustice. He wanted to shout at her that the lotus doesn\'t belong to anyone but he knew that it would only worsen the situation, so, he only focused on appeasing her.

"Then, why did you steal my prey?" She argued back.

"I told you already. I didn\'t. My Arcana did. Just like your Agatha, he has his own consciousness and I can\'t do anything about it. Moreover, I was busy with my business. It was the one that came to me, in the first place." Azzy tried to make her understand but it only frustrated her even more.

"Argh, alright. It\'s my fault that I was busy fighting some bas****s, fighting over its possession and letting it escape." She almost screamed before getting back to her senses, looking away in embarrassment.

Meanwhile, their homeroom teacher, the sorcerer Uphiar intervened to calm them down, "silence. There are people around. Both of you can have your couple fight, elsewhere."

"Sorry" "Sorry."

Both of them apologized at the same time.

They looked at each other before the girl snorted and looked away, "Hmpf."

"Chronos, any ideas?" Azzy turned to the Reaper when he failed to appease her. Not to mention, this mess is caused by him, in the first place.

"Girls like gifts, so. I guess you can try that way?" An answer quickly came to the boy but the latter felt like there\'s a question mark in the end. Was the Reaper unsure about something other than mathematics?

Anyway, Azzy decided to make something special for her. But, what he should do?

While he was filled in thoughts, the Reaper\'s voice once again echoed in his head. "How about gifting away that useless artifact?"

"Hmm? Which one are you talking about?" Azzy asked him curiously.

"Those Gloves," The Reaper answered him, shocking the hell out of Azzy, "are you serious? Chronos, the adamantine gloves cost at least a billion credits. That\'s 100 million Krocs. If it\'s for Claire, it\'s too much. Not to mention, it\'s not even her birthday or something."

The Reaper calmly said to him, "first of all, you need to understand about the gloves. The pair of gloves only had three uses. One is the weight exercise as they were made of Adamantium and are quite heavy. Two, they can absorb the natural energy and let you use the power of rank-7. And three, it\'s expensive because of the material.

And for you, who already can lift even 4000kgs, who already can absorb natural energy through lotus sutra, who already has the maximum strength equal to an Exalt-realm expert, who is already destined to become the Monarch of the Death Clan, what use they are for?"
