With almost everyone down on the ambush team, the leader ordered the remaining two subordinates to abduct Avia while she holds off Azzy. In her view, once their master arrives with other elites, Azzy would be done for.
However, will Azzy let her do whatever she wants? Naturally, he wouldn't.
"I don't intend to give you an opportunity to even fight," Azzy spoke to her as he raised his arms towards her.
In an instant, more than 30 Protos spears appeared around him. All of them were made from the excess 3 million soul power, which he can't absorb or store in his body for a very long time.
"Behold my ultimate created technique. Try your best to dodge because I can't control them." Azzy shot all of them, aiming at the incoming enemy.
Looking at the thirty Protos spears with each of them powerful enough to wipe out anyone below rank-6, she didn't hesitate to use her soul energy to create a blue-colored barrier around her.
This special technique will allow her to consume soul power according to the damage brought upon her. Since she had about 7.5 million SP (soul power) still left, there was a confident look on her.
However, they weren't normal spears either. Each of them contained the death energy as well as the Protos energy.
The moment the first one hit the barrier, the spear was blocked but it didn't disappear. Instead, it invaded the barrier, corrupting it.
Soon, several spears landed on the barrier. Half of them missed her as she decided to change the direction at the last second.
As for the remaining 15 spears, about five of them completely corrupted the barrier, thereby destroying it, and the remaining Protos spears pierced her all over the body.
And it wasn't over yet, the spears dissolved into her body making way for the Protos energy and death energy to invade her body, slowly corrupting her soul orb.
"What the hell did you just do?" She screamed in pain while losing her strength in her legs, eventually, becoming paralyzed and collapsing on her knees.
The scene reminded Azzy about the evening when he first encountered the Night Clan's assassin, more than a year ago.
Meanwhile, the two mages who were supposed to wait for an opportunity to abduct Avia became terrified at their leader's state.
They looked at each other and came to a decision without even talking. Within three seconds, they escaped by using random teleportation cards at the same time.
Azzy didn't care about them and walked towards the woman. Her body is refusing to move, her lips were shivering and her eyes were full of fear as she saw an illusion of a Reaper walking towards her to take her life.
She couldn't even contact the Arcana as their connection was cut off with the corruption of the soul orb.
Stopping before her, he asked a question, "I ask you a simple question, just one. Who sent you? Give me the name."
"Bri… Brian… Brian Light, the King… the king of Northern Qudour." She managed to force out the answer with great struggle.
"That's all. Thank you for answering. Now, I will take back the corruptive energy and free you." Azzy nodded and gave a surprising statement, something that she didn't expect. However, in the next second, he gave a warning with his straight face, "When you meet him, then, tell him that one day, I will sure to pay back several folds no matter how many years passed away."
Showing kindness to the enemy, Azzy raised his arm, retrieved the death energy and Protos energy from her body, and turned around to return to a stupefied Avia.
"Let's go." He dismissed the undead wolf and proceeded to walk away with her while the woman fell unconscious.
On the way, Avia just stared at him in silence while walking beside him. Feeling the gaze on him for a long time, he asked, "Do you want to say something, Avia?"
Avia opened her mouth, "How did you get so strong? Is it because of Platinum grade Arcana?"
She had already forgotten her earlier outburst against him. Currently, her mind was completely occupied by the fight Azzy displayed before her. Against Ragron, while Azzy indeed win, she too thought that it was probably because the former was never serious against this teenager. She was amazed by his unique techniques but didn't fully acknowledge him.
But, now that she saw his abilities with her own eyes, she was so overwhelmed that she even forgot about her parents for a few moments.
Azzy shook his head, "A grade of Arcana indeed matters for one's strength and potential but not their overall fighting ability. Being host to amazing Arcana spirit sure made my training progress more smoothly but I was able to defeat them because I worked hard on creating the techniques and on my control.
Everyone has their own fighting style. One just needs to find it. When it happens, the training will also become a lot easier even if one doesn't have some high-grade Arcana."
Azzy doesn't know how she fights now or what she was thinking either. So, he just gave a half-truth answer to cover up his secret, followed by giving a piece of advice in case she was in a worry about her own potential.
Avia stayed silent and fell into thoughts while continuing to walk. No one knows what her thoughts are at the moment but after walking for like 5 minutes, something clicked in Azzy's mind and he stopped in his tracks.
"Ah, I forgot to ask her something pretty important. How did those guys find us, anyway? We were teleported to the place using a random teleportation card. So, either they found us by coincidence or they were just tracking us." Suddenly, Azzy remembered the woman's sentence. She said they were here for Avia but also found him by pure coincidence. That means they were tracking Avia.
If that's the case, then, why would King Brian look for Avia? Did he have enmity with Affea and Oakley or something?
"Damn, I shouldn't have left her so easily. Should I turn back? If I remember correctly, she was unconscious. If no one picks her up during this time, she will be there." Azzy thought about it but eventually, he let the matter go and further asked the Reaper's help about scanning Avia to find where there's a tracking seal on her.
The Reaper confirmed his suspicion but he refused to remove the seal, for now, stating that if he takes over him, the Supreme Realm experts might find out.
Azzy found that ridiculous. When there's no issue with summoning an undead beast or shooting spears that contain death energy, why would it matter when his body was possessed by Arcana?
But, since he doesn't possess knowledge about the abilities of Supreme Realm experts either, he didn't argue with him but asked about the next step, to which, the Reaper simply said to wait.
Wait for what? Azzy was confused but the Reaper left him in mystery.
Very soon, the mystery was revealed with a message sent to him.
"Hmm? Aunt Affea?" Azzy felt a sigh of relief after reading it and turned around to look at Avia, who looked at him questioningly as if she was asking why he stopped.
He said, "Your parents are returning. I sent them the location. We'll wait here until then."
"Really?" Avia's expression turned bright, all of a sudden.
But, the happiness didn't stay for long as soon, another group of enemies surrounded them.
Looking at the fatty guy who was wearing luxurious clothes, Azzy opened his mouth, "Brian Light…"
"Prepare to die, Azrael."
