My Soul card is a Reaper

Azzy was taken aback and stared in the direction where the attack came from. He couldn\'t remember the unique energy used by the aliens back when one of their units invaded the planet during his parents\' marriage.

As for Berith, he was even more shocked because it was too fast even for him to react when the attack wasn\'t even from close combat.

If not for his great recovery rate, he would have probably died there. But, that doesn\'t mean that he is out of danger yet.

Before the hole was filled up with the tissues and skin, once again, he took a glimpse of the same purple light beam. He attempted to dodge it but couldn\'t do it in time and a bigger hole was created at the heart.

"Who is it? Come out?" roared Berith, no longer paying attention to Azzy or the nearby skeleton that went onto standby because of the sudden turn of events.

In reply to his question, another purple came toward him and this time, his right eye was blown off.

"Argh…" The demon screamed in pain but it appeared that he stopped caring about it, being confident in his recovery rate. He flapped his wings and attempted to take off in the direction where the attack came from.

*Swoosh*

Another purple light beam came in, but this time, it was from behind, destroying one of his wings and making him fall onto the ground.

Once he was down, the figure made its appearance. The attacker looked like a teenager in a tank top and shorts with a lollipop in her mouth and hand canon in her hand that looked a bit similar to a grenade launcher.

"Aria?" The miniature Azzy exclaimed in surprise as the girl went on placing the weapon on the ground with its barrel facing the sky and clicked on one of the triggers.

Several sticks of plasma energy shot into the sky before they came back and pierced into the ground, surrounding the demon and forming an energy prison sort of thing around him.

Aria then spoke out loud as she specifically glanced at the miniature Azzy, "the target is captured. I\'m taking it with me back to our lab. Dr. Mac wishes to meet you, Mr. Garcia. You know where to find us. Make a visit when you have the time."

After passing down the message to Azzy, she pressed something on the middle of the chest and disappeared along with the disfigured demon who was struggling to get out.

Azzy dumbly stared into the space for a while before realizing that the threat is gone. However, he wasn\'t happy and muttered in displeasure, "it looks like the entire universe is conspiring to stop me from finishing the battle. Once again, I cannot finish the battle by giving my all. Ugh… my body… it\'s hurting. I need to take the healing card."

"Well, I guess this should motivate you to put more focus on training, especially work on your combos and battle strategy," commented the Reaper upon listening to Azzy\'s thoughts.

Azzy nodded firmly, "I\'m going to, but not now. First, I need to repay the debt to my master."

"As you wish…"

Meanwhile, in the sky, the supreme commander Kruger had a look of frown on his face. He didn\'t know the identity of the mysterious girl who made a sudden appearance, defeated the mighty demon, and then took him away as a prisoner.

"It looked like there\'s a mysterious organization that is more advanced than our research organization."

More than the fact that she defeated Berith, he found it strange that she had access to the tech that even WAMO hasn\'t developed yet. He saw the compiled footage of the alien invasion from 27 years ago. And he investigated it too.

From it, he saw the alien guns used by them. According to the witnesses, those didn\'t fire energy beams created out of soul energy. They appeared to be something else.

Not to mention, every piece of alien tech went missing. Back then, WAMO thought that the hidden clans took them and didn\'t pursue the matter but now, he felt suspicious.

"Perhaps, the organization behind this girl found the alien tech?" He wondered at first before shifting his attention to the corpses on the ground, of which, there were even generals.

"Oh, boy, it looks like you were going to get a lot older, Kruger…" The elf let out a depressing sigh.

After a couple of minutes, the gate disappeared and he descended onto the ground.

Having the knowledge of the Decarune seal, he freed Ramiel as well as Cornelius before using a resurrection skill card on a wider range.

In an instant, he turned old. His blonde hair grew thin and white, wrinkles were all over his face, and his body also turned frail.

After resurrecting everyone around him while losing more than 3000 years of life force, the supreme commander fainted and became unconscious.

​ If it was a human, he would have probably died. Thankfully, he is an elf with greater longevity and life force. As a result, he only grew old.

If there was one thing that actually benefited Kruger because of his selfless act, it is Azzy\'s acknowledgment. Despite their clash in their ideologies, Azzy felt like it is worth sticking to the Zero Squad even after he catches his master\'s culprit.

The next day morning;

Azzy was summoned to the President\'s office.

Being prepared to evade a few questions, he went there. Every man has his own secrets and reasonings behind his actions and he felt that he wasn\'t obliged to give explanations to every question he was asked.

As he entered the place, he saw only the President was waiting for him.

Azzy greeted him with a standard military salute and stood there for orders.

The 4-foot middle-aged-looking fellow jumped down from his seat and walked toward him. "Mr. Garcia, do you know why I called you here?"

Azzy had a vague idea but he doesn\'t want to give any unnecessary hints to this supreme realm expert and shook his head, "No, sir."

Cornelius then let out a smile, "well, I\'m here to reward you for your bravery on the battlefield. Usually, you should have been awarded in front of everyone but I believed that it should be better to hand it in personally since you used a mask to hide your identity."

"Eh?"
