My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 626: The Crypt of the Forgotten King (part-4)



"So much gold…" The elven beauty, Fey's eyes were glistening in excitement. "Wow," Even Leah and Elias couldn't help but exclaim at the same time.

"Azrael, do you sense any enemy? I can't sense the presence of any life," commented Louis.

Fey responded with a burst of laughter, "It is because the enemy we fought earlier is more likely the dungeon boss. This is his treasury, our reward. Can't believe we wasted so much time because of our wariness."

Azzy, however, is silent and trying his best to scan the plan with his Aura Sensing.

It was then Leah who voiced her opinion, "Maybe, it is because the enemy is already dead and was controlled by the cosmic jewel all the time, like Azrael said. The dead don't have life. So, they cannot be sensed."

"Soul skill: Eyes of God"

After failing to sense any presence, just like the rest, Azzy unleashed his soul skill to see if there were any traps and also to locate the cosmic jewel that controlled the dungeon earlier.

As he observed around, there was an object far away that he couldn't see through.

"Wait here…" Azzy flew toward his 2 o'clock, bringing surprise to his companions.

He flew for atleast a minute, almost disappeared from their sight, and stopped right above the gold-made coffin-type object lying on the ground. It was actually opened and Azzy saw a man lying in his traditional royal attire but had his face covered up with a cloth tightly and a seal was placed on top of it.

Beside him resting a sword, with a word of an unfamiliar language, inscribed on top of its hilt. There was no sheath nearby, but the blade looked brand-new.

"There is no life in him but his body is in a perfect state," Azzy descended to the ground to take a closer look. Of course, he took the plasma scythe, hanging on his back, into his hands, just in case.

Just as he reached within ten-foot radius of the coffin, he observed a slight movement from the sword.

He immediately jumped away in wariness, and the sword stopped its vibration.

"Hmm…" Azzy observed the coffin for a while. No attacks happened or so whatever.

He curiously stepped forward once again. The sword started vibrating once again. This time, Azzy didn't back away and went forward.

As he was getting closer to the coffin with each step, the trembling of the sword increased.

By the time he reached it, the sword was trembling so much that it was levitating a couple of feet above the coffin and in a state of blurriness.

"I could sense death energy in this sword. Interesting treasure," Azzy couldn't help but stretch forward his hand while putting down his scythe, catching its hilt accurately.

The sword stopped trembling, but it was at that moment that Azzy felt a sharp pain in his head as if a thousand needles managed to pierce his skull, and he let out a painful scream, which echoed all over the place.

Everyone was startled by his scream and they hurried to his location, thinking that Azzy fell into an ambush, only to witness Azzy caressing the sword while making a weird expression, "The true energy of Thanatos and Gaia, and the successor of Chronos' Sands of time. No wonder he reached such a stage just at the age of 17. This time, I have found a treasure.

Using this body as a sacrifice, I can wake up Jupiter. His return will also bring Dii Consentes to the material realm."

"Azrael?" Leah sounded unsure, looking at Azzy who suddenly looked like a different person.

Azzy's head then turned toward the others, "Sorry, child, your loved one is sleeping at the moment."

"Who are you?" Leah quickly went into her battle stance. The others who are startled also turned wary.

"Mors," replied the spirit that possessed the 17-year-old. After a brief pause, he added, "Just a defeated one who was waiting for thousands of years to take revenge against those Olympians."

*Shit*

"I knew it," Louis clenched his fist tightly. He couldn't help but curse Azzy under his breath, "That show-off tried to convince me that it is a comic jewel. Now that this bastard fell into a trap and was possessed by the malevolent spirit, he literally became the reason for our deaths."

"What to do now, Dear?" Fey gripped her husband's upper arm. She gulped saliva and her facial expression changed from ecstasy to panic. After watching Azzy's prowess through her own eyes, she was aware that they weren't a match for him, not without their soul orb in a sealed state.

The white-winged lion and Elias also looked tense, but Leah appeared different. Contrary to others, she was smiling with her tightened fists. The Princess of Camelot was already prepared to battle, "I don't know who you are, but you are going down. Azrael isn't that weak."

"Oh, we'll see about that," Mors raised his eyebrow. Brandishing his sword like a whip, Mors then continued, "I see that you all would also make fine specimens for my brethren. As for you…" He pointed the finger at the white-winged lion, "You will make good fertilizer for one of us."

*Snap*

With a snap of his finger, six humanoid figures rose from the ground. From top to bottom, they looked the same as any other human and not even undead.

At first, they all looked lifeless at first, but another snap of his finger made them raise their heads and look at their prey.

"Faunus" "Diana" "Neptune" "Janus" "Pluto" "Mars"

"They are all yours to hunt," Mors passed the orders to the six of them as he turned away to walk toward the coffin.

"Guys, get ready to engage," shouted Louis as he took out the spear hanging on his back.

"Oraaaa"

Elias transformed into his Aeni form and collectively roared at the enemies with the white-winged lion.

Leah charged forward at her peak speed and managed to precisely strike Neptune and Pluto, Dii Consentes' the god of seas and the god of the underworld respectively, at the same time.

As they flew away and crashed onto a heap of gold without managing to resist the force, Leah managed to pick up the scythe on the ground before rushing toward those two.
