My Soul card is a Reaper

"Levi, let\'s finish this," Estella ordered the Leviathan to attack the enemy that was down.

As the neck of the beast changed its direction and stretched towards Claire, from the latter\'s hand, a simple card with red-colored two stars fell onto the ground. <strong>"Skill Card: Holy Ground"</strong>

Only a couple of meters around the princess of Triastal was turned into golden color. But, still, it was enough for Claire to recover her wound completely and return to her peak condition once again. When her Arcana spirit became a mutated platinum grade, Claire\'s recovery ability also improved tremendously. But, the wound was too deep that Claire felt she needs the skill card\'s help.

As soon as she got recovered, Claire jumped to the left and rolled a bit to dodge the Leviathan\'s attack. She then flapped her wings to fly higher before raising her sword. Soul energy quickly gathered around her sword and she swung downwards.

A huge arc of energy was generated from the sword and flew towards a part of the giant serpent, possibly its stomach.

Due to its giant size, Leviathan wasn\'t able to dodge the attack. Estella noticed the attack but she didn\'t care about the beast\'s defenses and focused on conjuring another energy arrow. She was confident that the damage won\'t be that high. However, the Leviathan thinks otherwise because of the presence of divine energy.

It tried to dodge the attack but failed in the process and the energy arc struck the upper part of its tail. A clean cut was made on the outside and an enormous amount of blood spilled in different directions.

It screamed in pain, surprising Estella just when she was about to release the arrow. As a result, the aim was off and the cyan energy arrow flew towards the audience section.

Before the teachers stop it, Azzy took the action as a part of his job. Raising his arm towards its path, he blasted a dark energy sphere.

"Woah, that\'s cool." As the energy sphere perfectly collided with the energy arrow and caused an explosion in the air, a student of the seventh grade let out a squeal of delight, fangirling over Azzy, "Necromancer Prince is so cool."

Meanwhile, the divine energy present in Claire\'s attack invaded Leviathan\'s body. Thankfully, it was too weak. So, the sea serpent managed to expel it while suffering a great deal of pain. The effect of the holy/divine energy on demonic beings like Leviathan is obviously a lot powerful, although no one, not even Claire or Estella knew why her normal attack injured the giant serpent greatly.

Only Agatha, Leviathan, and the Reaper knew of the truth but they wouldn\'t say it to their hosts either. Agatha doesn\'t want Claire to know of the divine energy yet. The matter will get too complicated then. Leviathan doesn\'t want her host or anyone to know that it had a demonic bloodline. As for the Reaper, his motive would go something along the lines of saving Azzy from getting sidetracked.

Estella proceeded to use the healing skill card on her Arcana. Meanwhile, Claire poured more soul energy into her sword, which further created a giant energy sword over the blade. It was quite identical to that Leah.

After sparring with her for two weeks, Claire somehow managed to pick it up and when she returned to Triastal, she practiced for three more days to perfect the technique. With the sword spirit becoming a platinum grade, somehow, it became a lot easier for her to master it.

Back to the present, in just a few seconds, the sword became five meters long and a meter wide. Everyone saw a giant golden sword was descending towards the serpent, as Claire dived down, preparing to attack again, this time directly.

Unfortunately for her, Estella was prepared this time.

Not intending to get into disadvantage once again, the princess of Moon Clan gave out a quick order before the energy sword was even formed. "Levi, use soul skill: Draconic shield."

Claire\'s sword reached the upper end of its tail and she swung it with all her strength but to her surprise, when her sword hit the scales, nothing happened. In fact, her hand felt the tremor due to the rebound effect.

Leviathan\'s head rose higher, casting a shadow on Claire before it blasted huge volumes of water from its mouth. Naturally, Claire, who was being careful about getting attacked from behind by her opponent, sensed the attack and she flew to the side.

With her superior speed, she managed to dodge the attack, frustrating Estella even more, "why isn\'t it working? Dammit, her movements are too fast."

"I need to think of something. How about..."

Taking a deep breath, she pulled the string and used the remaining soul energy to create two energy arrows between her fingertips before adding water attribute to one of them and wind to other, aiming at the sky, instead of her opponent.

*Swoosh* Swoosh*

She released the arrows towards the sky much to the surprise of every spectator, including Claire who was attempting to slash the Leviathan\'s skin once again only to get failed.

As the arrows continued to fly higher, Estella no longer paid attention to them and took out a quiver from her storage card. The quiver was full of metal arrows with a blue crystal arrowhead and a few runes inscribed upon the tail. Those who had good vision managed to recognize the metal. It was Mythril, a metal that has penetrative properties.

While they themselves couldn\'t harm an Elite realm expert like Claire, if soul energy powered them up, then, it won\'t be good news for her.

Azzy inwardly frowned at her move. He wondered whether he should have banned the external weapons too. But then he remembered that skill cards aren\'t different from external weapons. Had he done that, Claire wouldn\'t have gotten a chance to use Holy Ground earlier. So, he felt it was fair.

Estella took an arrow from her quiver and poured soul energy into it, powering it up before firing at Claire. The latter flapped her wings and dodged with ease before sensing an approach of another arrow. Claire dodged it once again.

Looking at the scene, Azzy wondered why Estella is making her Arcana stay still when she was attacking. Is it perhaps difficult for her to shoot a target by standing on a moving object? If that\'s the case, then, the first attack might be a fluke. Or maybe, her accuracy is limited to less distance.

He continued to observe closely.

Because of her rapid firing, Claire didn\'t get a chance to counterattack and was just forced on dodging the arrows for a while until all of a sudden, raindrops started to fall from the sky.

"Hmm?" Azzy sensed something strange about these raindrops falling on him. First, the rainfall is only restricted to a limited area, barely covering the field inside the Arena and not affecting the audience even a little bit.

Two, Azzy felt that each raindrop feels a lot heavier like at least a hundred grams. And three, the temperature of the raindrop is quite cool like 5 to 10 Centigrade, considering it was April when the average temperature is around 25C.

"Finally," Estella let out a wide smile and lowered her bow as she saw the rainfall. "It\'s time to raise the altitude of the battlefield."

"Levi, Raise." She ordered her Arcana to raise the height even further while taking out a recovery card to recover her soul power to full.

Leviathan followed her order and stretched its body higher. With only one-eighth of its body on the ground, the Leviathan stands seven hundred feet tall, forcing Claire to fly higher after failing to injure the beast a couple of more times.

By the time Claire reached the eye level of the sea serpent, Estella\'s soul power recovered completely and she was ready with conjuring an energy arrow.

"What the hell..." Claire\'s expression changed as the raindrops suddenly turned into ice pieces and her body started to freeze.
