My Soul card is a Reaper

"Timothy, bring the head of the kid while I\'ll take care of these fools." As soon as he found Azzy, the royal ancestor gave out an order to the former king.

Looking at Sahara standing nearby Azzy, he further asked the dragon Academy\'s representative instructor Ricardus and General Michal, who are peak-rank-7 experts to help out Timothy in clearing the obstacles that come in the way.

"As you wish, Your Grace." Timothy bowed and then, looked at the two of his supporters who nodded in response.

Just as they were about to leave, Aethon called him and added another order as an afterthought, "If possible, don\'t harm the Pendragon girl and the Crescent. Best, if you knock them out. Just don\'t kill them. That\'s all."

Because of their high-profile backgrounds, Aethon wanted to make sure they weren\'t killed in the process even if the two girls are willing to seek the death.

As for the others, he could care less about their lives and ordered them to kill anyone that comes in your way. And the rest will take care of the Robots.

Naturally, higher realm experts like Aegis, Barton, and Affea heard his orders and were to hear that Azzy is still here. They instantly turned their heads in the direction where Aethon was looking towards.

"Azzy, what are you doing there? Why didn\'t you escape yet?" Affea\'s heart skipped for a moment before she heard Aegis pass out instructions. "Mr. Everglade, Princess Snieca, I and my toys will take care of this old man and his men. You protect Azrael and take him away. Aria will lead you to a safe place. Go…"

With both of them moved instantly and dashed towards the stands, Aethon mumbled, "I won\'t let you…"

He instantly disappeared from the spot and reappeared before the both of them like a flash and throw out successive rapid punches, taking them by surprise.

Before they try to block them, Aegis appeared before them, blocking the attacks with his palms. However, due to the difference between their strengths, Aegis got pushed away a couple of meters.

He pushed his leg and leaped towards Aethon while summoning a shield that was bathing in dark energy.

"What can you do with that shield? Hmpf…" Aethon clenched his energy-powered fist and throw a solid punch at the shield that was about to collide with his face.

A huge collision took place between the shield and his fist, blasting the three rank-7s behind Aethon and two allies of Aegis away for at least a dozen meters away, suffering minor injuries in the process.

Surprisingly, The Royal Ancestor was also got pushed back a couple of meters away while Aegis managed to land even farther away.

As the others stood on their feet, Aegis and Aethon stared at each other. Both of them seemed surprised about the last encounter.

"So, this is the power of the Nine-star realm, huh!" Aegis thought as he gripped the shield tightly. "Nevermatter, he will fall soon."

"He\'s stronger than I thought." Aethon looked at him seriously. "Nevermatter, he will fall soon."

As Timothy and others slowly stood on their feet, he ordered a high-rank-7 expert named Alphonse Passel, who is the paternal great grandfather of Bay Passel, a trusted subordinate of the Royal family and the head of Stripes family to join the other three.

Taking a deep breath, Aethon poured soul energy into his hands, forming an energy spear appeared. Slamming its handle onto the floor, he spoke, "I don\'t know why you are betraying your family for the sake of that kid but the boy and his master are fated to die, if not now, then, tomorrow."

"You have to walk over my dead body, Venerable Light." Aegis then summoned a storage card and took out a handgun from it. With an ancient-looking shield in one hand and a modern-looking gun in another, even Azzy thought this man in a flower-patterned t-shirt and shorts look damn weird.

Aegis pointed the gun at his ancestor.

"You plan to defeat me with that piece of junk? Dream on…" Aegis scoffed as he raised the energy spear, motioning his hand back and threw at him.

Just then, Aegis pulled the trigger. A dark energy bullet escaped from the gun without any sound.

"Argh…" Aethon grabbed the chest.

Before Aethon attempted to see the trajectory of the blurry energy bullet, it already penetrated his chest, causing a massive wound with bleeding.

"You..."

A look of shock appeared on Aethon\'s face while a smile appeared on Aegis.

Meanwhile, Aegis blocked the spear with the shield and got pushed back for a few meters before he managed to control his footing.

Pointing the gun at him again, Aegis spoke, "you old fossils living in ancient times and not intending to move on don\'t know the capability of modern weapons."

"A mere blood wound…" Aethon glared at him and he poured soul energy towards the spot of the injury to heal it.

"Hmm, what\'s going on. It\'s not working properly…" His facial expression once again changed to that of a frown as he inspected his body.

Due to the nature of the bullet is dark, the recovery rate was affected and the Royal ancestor found that he was being healed very slowly even though he is in the Supreme Realm.

Having no choice Aethon decided to use the healing card but Aegis didn\'t give him such a chance. "Sorry, but your time is up."

He pulled the trigger once again. This time, Aethon tried to block it with his hand after sensing its trajectory. However, his right palm was penetrated as a result, causing another massive bleeding.

Looking at his ancestor, Aegis smirked, "Every bullet I shoot will move at a speed of 340 miles per hour. Do you know what that means? I only need one second to hit you even if you stand far away. And within this short distance, even if you are a rank-9, it is still impossible for you to escape. As I said before, you underestimated the power of modern weapons far too much…"

With the opportunity being lost, as Aethon was concentrating on using his soul energy to heal his injury for the second time, pouring his soul energy into the rank-8 prototype handgun,  Aegis pulled the trigger for the third time. Meanwhile, his soul energy was dropped by another ten percent (100 million soul power)

This time, Aethon followed his instincts and sidestepped.

"Arghh…" The bullet pierced his right shoulder, this time.

"Damn, he\'s fast." Aegis frowned inwardly. "Before I lose the advantage, I need to kill him."

*Bang* Bang* Bang*

He didn\'t waste time in talking useless things anymore and shot six rounds non-stop. Due to the recoil, Aegis was forced to move a foot away with every shot.

Meanwhile, Aethon felt like he didn\'t have the time to care about healing his injury and focused on dodging them. He ordered his Arcana through telepathy.

In the end, along with his right shoulder, his abdomen, right, and left knees were also wounded as a result.

Aethon was staggering backward while feeling heavy blood loss. Eventually, he collapsed on the ground.

"Two shots miss. Headshot was quite difficult." Letting out a sigh, Aegis proceeded to recover his soul energy with the recovery card while walking forward. "It\'s time to finish this battle."

The audience that left in the stands just stared at the battlefield in silence. All of them didn\'t even know how to react, watching the mighty Supreme Realm Expert of Northern Qudour fell like that.

"A gun is powerful enough to defeat a Supreme Realm expert?" Even Azzy went into a daze for a moment.

At that moment, the Giant Stingray, which was staying still in the middle of a battle between the Arcana Masters and the Robots, flapped its wing-shaped fins and dived downwards.

It passed through the floor and disappeared into the underground, surprising the onlookers.

Of course, Aegis spotted it. Motioning his arm back, he threw the shield towards the fallen old man. Just as it was about to hit him, the Giant Stingray rose from below Aethon\'s feet and swallowed him all of a sudden, getting hit by the shield.

The shield pierced its skin and got stuck for a moment before it was thrown to the ground. The skin that was cut healed instantly.

"No, I need to finish this quickly before the old man gets healed with the beast\'s saliva." Aegis\' face turned serious and raised the gun. Almost all of his soul energy was poured into it. "Full charge."

Just right then, a beam of light descended onto the Stingray. Aegis raised his head and saw a man with pure white wings looking at him coldly.
